Permission having bean granted by the Government to establish a Tele- phone Exchango in Hongkong, the above Company hereby beg to invite Subscriptions from the Public.
Throughout Europe and America Telophone Exchanges bave gained such a reputation by facilitating daily inter- course and by ensuring the safety of private and public property, that they may now be considered indispensable in all large Cities and Business Contres. Hongkong with its vast commercial transactions and valuable property, is essentially a place, where a well con- ducted Telephone Exchange will be of
the greatest use, and in laying this
Prospectus before the Public, the Com pany hopes that it may count upon the general support uot only of the mor- chants and professional members of the Community, but also of the different Government Departments in order to reuder the service as officient as pos- sible.
The Exchange will be worked in the following way, viz.: a head Office will be established in the contral part of the town provided with the best Tele- phone applianoss according to the new est and most approved European and
American inventions. Each subscri. ber will be supplied with a complete set of Instruments and will be put in direct communication with the contral office by separate wires.
When wishing to use the Tulephone, a Subscriber will only have to call the Central Station and give the name of the party, he wishes to speak with, the wires bre, thep 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 Boll 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 heard by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be understood, that the message are not spoken to the Con- tral Office, and thence transmitted to the persou 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.
