When you take the receiver off of the switchhook of your telephone, 
a small electric lamp is lighted on the switchboard in front of the 
operator. To that signal she responds with the familiar “Number, 
please?” 
After your connection has been made with the other person, there are 
no lights on the switchboard until your receivers are placed on the 
switchhooks-again, which signals mean, to the operator, that the con- 
versation has ended. 
It you desire to get the operator’s attention, you may do so by moving 
the receiver down and up, but IT MUST BE DONE SL IWLY, or 
the little lamp, will not glow on the switchboard and the operator will 
not get any signal. Your observance of this method of signaling will 
insure more prompt attention by the operator and will help to make 
the service better. 
The above suggestions are applicable to all subscribers located where 
light. signalling system is in use.
