Pee | | 1 3eaat MONDAY, MAY 23, 1921. JIE Important Changes in the new Seattle Telephone Directory Arrigali & Gonnelta HEN you receive the May, 1921, issue of the Seattle Tele- phone Directory, which is now ready for delivery, you will notice a number of important changes in its make-up. The first two letters of all Seat- tle central office names have been capitalized in HEAVY TYPE and separated by a small ' space from the other letters of the name. Numbers which formerly were below 1000 have been changed by prefixing enough zeros to build them up to four digit num- bers. For example “Main 15” has been changed to “MA in- 0015.” Reasons for These Changes These changes have been made to meet the requirements of the initial installation of the automatic tele- phone system in Seattle in the areas served from our North, West and Rainier central offices. The auto- matic system probably will be in ser- vice in these areas some time next winter. The subscribers in these areas will be provided with new telephone instru- ments equipped with dials which they will use to make local telephone calls. When these automatic offices are placed in service, the subscribers served from them will dial the first ++ MA in-4152 CA pitl-6129 EA ste 9999 NO rth-7136 WE st-9364) 1% Bleeckr. . KE nwd-744 9 church statug two letters of the central office name and a number with four numerals. To make it easy for these subscribers to tell at a glance just what letters to dial, the set-up of the May issue of the directory has been changed to make thé first two letters of the cen- tral office name stand out clearly from the rest of the name. Numbers below 1000 have been built up to meet the requirements of the automatic system that four numerals, in addition to the two capitalized let- ters, must be dialed. How the Changes Will’ Affect You The capitalization of the first two let- ters will make no difference in the pronunciation of the central office name. All subscribers should continue to pronounce central office names in full when asking the operator for a number. For example, MA in should be pronounced “‘Main”’ as heretofore. The zeros in a telephone number are a part of the number and should be pronounced 'by subscribers in asking the operator for a number, not as “Zero” but ‘as “Oh.” Example, “MA in-0015” should be pronounced “Main Oh Oh (pause) One Five.” In giving such numbers to an opera- tor or to another person all subscrib- ers should include the initial zeros as part of the number. Note—the number of the Seattle Fire Dept. (Fire Alarms only) has been changed to “MA in-3344.” Subscribers who will be served from the New Automatic Central Offices in North, West and Rainier Districts will receive instructions in _ the use of the Automatic Equipment before it is placed in service.
