Each subscri- ber will be supplied with a complote set of Instruments and will be put in direct communication with the central office by separate.wires.
When wishing to use the Telephone, a Subscriber, will, only bave to call the Central Station and give the name of the party, he wishes to speak with, the wires are then immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct communication with each
other. When they have finished, the Central Office is notified to that effect by a Bell Signal, the wires are then disconnected, and any other connection can be made if desired and so on. The dialogue between the subscribers is of course quite private and can only be board by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be anderstood, that the message are not spoken to the Can- tral Office, and thence transmitted to the person to be communicated with, but the two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous line, over which conversation can be. carried with perfect ease and privacy.
