PLAN No. 1222. PLANT DEPARTMENT
Much of the telephone plant is built and all of it is maintained by this department. It is often segregated into two general divisions, (1) construction division and (2) maintenance division. To administer these there are a construction superintendent and a maintenance superintendent. Then each division may be further subdivided in sections as follows: (a) Aerial-line section, (b) cable section, (c) repair section, (d) wire chief’s section, (e) installation section, (f) cable-report section, and (g) clerical section.
Men employed regularly in the construction division may be assigned temporarily to the maintenance division when up-keep work is particularly heavy, and vice versa.
