Call Trips Reduced 67% allowing greater service time Only by the adoption of modern equipment that will improve service as well as decrease operating costs can passenger ships hold their prestige. Modernization programs need not be burdensome nor affect the turn-around of vessels. In the accomplishment of service an enormous improvement is made available with fewer stewards by the installation of Cory Ship Service Telephone Systems. Passengers may communicate complete instructions in hotel-like manner directly to the Chief Steward’s office where a central exchange switchboard provides complete super- vision. “Inquiry” and ‘‘pick-up”’ trips having been eliminated, service is completed on one call and stewards are available for three times as many effective services. Inter-stateroom telephone service is also available for social and emergency service. The modern ship requires telephone equipment of distinctive marine types com- prising Anti-noise (Magnavox Patent) Loud Speaking, Standard and Continental types for Navigation Control and Ship Service as is evi- | denced in recent installations on the Steamships CHATHAM, DORCHESTER, FAIRFAX, ALGONQUIN, IROQUOIS, DIXIE and other similar vessels. We shall be glad to make surveys of ships and recommend the types of telephone equip- ment best suited to the requirements. CHAS. CORY & SON, INC. 185 Varick St., New York.
