A Ghain and Its Links 
In telephoning there are three links in the chain that constitutes ‘‘good service’’: 
1. The person calling. 2. The operator. 3. The person called. 
No matter how much any one or any two of these links do to develop good service, 
The result is determined by the measure of co-operation of the third. A chain is no stronger 
than its weakest link. 
If the person calling fails to consult the directory and gives a wrong number, the 
operator inevitably repeats the error. If the person called fails to answer promptly and the 
caller leaves the telephone, naturally ‘‘there is no one on the line.”’ 
Being human, the operator—the other link—is liable to err occasionally, but a careful 
analysis demonstrates that she is not fairly chargeable with many of the difficulties fre- 
quently aseribed to her. 
If Link No. 1 gives the right number and calls distinctly, and Link No. 3 answers 
promptly, the Telephone Company will be responsible for its part of the chain. If no higher 
motive actuated it, the motive of economy, or self-interest, would suffice.
