Computer-age phones for Bulletin
The Bulletin is the first office in the Waimarino to acquire a Micronet SBX 6 telephone system, which gives users a wide range of sophisticated functions. Although a relatively new system, the SBX is common in city businesses. Among the system's features is the ability to store 39 frequently called numbers for rapid access.
A 'call-back-when-free' function keeps trying engaged numbers and rings the caller back when the line is free. Conference calls, where several people on different lines or extensions can talk together, can be used, and a 'do not disturb' mechanism can be operated so no phones will ring, even though outward calls can be made.
