"Bradford 'Phone Users Can Play Important Part in Changeover

Bradford telephone users can play an important part this weekend in ensuring that the change to dial service is completed smoothly.
C.E. Blosdale, Bell Telephone manager for this community, asked subscribers not to place "curiosity calls" or other unnecessary calls at or near cutover time.
The changeover will be made shortly after 3 a.m., Sunday - a time when the volume of calls being handled by the local exchange usually is light.
A few minutes before that time, operators in the manual exchange will start asking persons placing calls to hang out and try again a few minutes later, using the dial. The change is expected to take less than two minutes to complete."
