EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases the Canadian Lorimer automatic telephone exchange, a groundbreaking innovation in telecommunications technology. Introduced in Canada in 1914, this system was first imported from England where it was initially introduced in Hereford on August 1st, 1914, with an initial capacity for 500 lines. The Lorimer exchange marked a significant departure from the traditional manual telephone exchanges that relied on telephone girls to connect calls. The year was 1908 when the world was introduced to the Lorimer automatic exchange, a machine that was designed to streamline the telephone communication process. By December of that year, the first exchange was installed in the United States, and by July 1911, the first exchange was operational in New York City. The Lorimer exchange was a marvel of engineering, capable of handling a large volume of calls without the need for human intervention. The machine worked by using a series of rotary dials and electromechanical switches to connect calls. The exchange was also equipped with a sophisticated routing system that ensured that calls were directed to the correct destination. The introduction of the Lorimer automatic exchange revolutionized the telephone industry and paved the way for the development of more advanced telecommunications technologies. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the past, and a reminder of the remarkable progress that has been made in the field of telecommunications."
