Connect-Through administration is the policy of leaving the loop from a customer's premises to the central office intact when the customer disconnects from the network.

The following ten papers describe various models of the telephone loop plant. The papers cover work done chiefly during the past decade, although the foundations of the work are often much older.

Statistical Analyses of Costs in Loop Plant Operations By D. M. DUNN and J. M.

The Facility Analysis Plan is a new methods system designed to improve loop plant operations.

An important part of an operating company outside plant engineer's job is to decide how best to use the spare capacity in the feeder network.1 This activity is called feeder administration.

The design of telephone equipment must accommodate lightning and 60-Hz disturbances which may be present at the network-terminal interface.

Loop Transients at the Customer Station By R. L. CARROLL and P. S.

Constrained coding is used in recording systems to translate an arbitrary sequence of input data to a channel sequence with special properties required by the physics of the medium, Very often, mor

The basic requirements for low-loss splices are (i) accurate alignment, (ii) good fiber ends, and (Hi) accurate diameter control.

Squares cross-section glass tubes have been used to splice AT&T polarization maintaining fibers with an average splice loss of 0.14 dB.
