Some routes, naturally, are longer than others. But if there is less traffic on them, they might get you to Kankakee faster. The same holds true of your Long Distance calls. When circuits are tempo­ rarily busy on tlie most direct route for your call, a new electronic brain in the telephone office automatically selects alter­ nate routes. They may be hundreds of miles longer, but the detour saves you time. And the entire operation of selection and rerouting is done in a split second!
