Dictionary refers R. Ketchledge, Director of the Bell System's Electronic Switching Laboratory, to faulty components in a model of the electronic switching system. Amazing new telephone switching system is its own "doctor" There are 6500 transistors and 45,500 diodes in the heart of a new Bell Telephone electronic switching system. Yet, if any components fail, finding them is easy. That's because Bell experts have given the system a mind which can tell what's wrong with itself. What's more, the system can indicate where the cure for the failure can be found in a 1295-page "medical dictionary" which it authored itself! The Bell System developed this new system for use in its first commercial Electronic Central Office which will begin operation in Succasunna, N. J., in 1965. Bell engineers estimate that the system's mind and dictionary will locate 90% of all failures that might develop at Succasunna. This will assure the great reliability needed for new, super-fast electronic telephone switching. Ingenuity to the nth degree is demanded for the extreme reliability needed in today's communications. It's a challenge we welcome in providing continually improving service for you. Bell Telephone System Owned by more than two million Americans
