Edward Moeschinger, United Telephone Co. engineer, indicated that all telephone service in the Warsaw exchange necessarily would be cut off from 1:45 until the 2:01 a.m. deadline, giving local telephone personnel and Stromberg-Carlson technicians an opportunity to make the final connections which will place the new dial equipment in operation.
