Back in the 1970's something while at training in Lisle Ill. WECo PEC? Or perhaps it was the Labs in Lisle.

Very, very interesting. -Ken Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:12:06 GMT Nathan Watson http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6136 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6136 I suspected this was probably the case, as the time period was relatively late in the product lifecycle. By "all across," didn't really mean all installations, Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:43:00 GMT Steph Kerman http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6135 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6135 ... I downloaded this from you in 3/07. This BSP shows flat spring #5. The 981 section shows wirespring, but with far fewer photos IIRC. I have yet another Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:12:20 GMT Sam Etler http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6134 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6134 ... Before the 9-digit system this was 971.501.01 which I scanned a few years back but don't seem to have linked anywhere. So here's a URL for it: Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:12:14 GMT Steve Cichorsky http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6133 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6133 No. 1/1A ESS, No. 2B ESS, No. 3 ESS - File sent: ESS Brochure (complete).pdf Link to file: https://download.yousendit.com/ZW9ERE9saTE3N0JMWEE9PQ Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:42:47 GMT Steph Kerman http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6132 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6132 The followin BSPs give much greater detail about #5 XB: typically 20-30 pages with 17", 22" or wider fold out traffic diagrams. I have some of them but Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:25:07 GMT Steph Kerman http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6131 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6131 "All across"? Definitely not. Anecdotally, only on a selective basis from what I've seen. I probably visited 15+ different #5 units in 6-8 buildings and saw Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:14:12 GMT Nathan Watson http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6130 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6130 I know that the recent discussion on this topic mentioned a few places which had #5 XBAR + ETS, but does anyone know in rough terms approximately how many or Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:14:52 GMT Tony Pelliccio http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6129 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6129 Yes I know about the revenue aspect which is why I won't carry a cell phone. Put it this way, it was let out that text messages cost 3/10's of one cent yet Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:19:57 GMT Joseph Singer http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6128 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6128 ... It's called revenue :) That's the only reason why all cell phone companies in the US charge by the minute and also charge send-to-end rather than use exact Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:04:38 GMT phonemuseum http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6127 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6127 Western Electric did not *PUSH* anyone into per minute billing since they were a manufacturer and did not dictate that type of policy. It was not a foreign Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:38:36 GMT Tony Pelliccio http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6126 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/centraloffice/message/6126 Interesting, so Western Electric was pushing the companies to move into per minute billing on all calls, local or LD.
