Improvements contemplate the com- mon battery system, by which sub- scribers in Leesburg will be able to signal the central office by merely lifting the receiver off the hook, in- stead of turning s magneto generator handle, as is DOW necessary, Brecken- ridge said. All of the local offices of the sys- tem will be housed in the new quar- ters, including the switchboard and operating staff now quartered in the Loudoun National Bank Building, and the clerical force, now housed in the Orr Building on West Market street, the manager said.
