During the direct distance dialing transition in the early 1950's, Washington DC was one of the first offices to be placed in the network with the addition of a #A4A switching machine in September of 1950. Coax cable connected the office to Richmond and Baltimore. #4ESS was added in 1978. This office was a sectional center with direct trunks to the Baltimore primary and Pittsburg Regional office. |
