APPENDIX (IIIf) In the New York Stock Exchange quarters in 1928 there were 2,114 telephones, of which 1,615 were members’ private wires to the floor. On these latter approximately 1,500,000 calls were trans- mitted each five-hour day. Between 1,050 and 1,100 members’ tele- phone clerks were engaged on the floor in handling orders. Exclusive of wires strung for the service of tenants, approximately 70,000 miles of telephone and telegraph wires were used in the Exchange building. (ITIg) Telephone booths on the Exchange are connected with the stock posts by a pneumatic tube system containing 35 miles of alumi- num tubing which runs beneath the floor, and six 75-horsepower compressors delivering 30,000 cubic feet of air per minute at 1% pounds pressure. From a chemical standpoint, at any rate, the atmosphere on the floor is singularly pure and invigorating. The Exchange has long employed a refrigerating system for cooling and filtering the air in its building; on especially humid days as much as four gallons of water a minute have been extracted from the atmosphere. Recently, to further purify the air on its floor, the Exchange also installed a fourteen tube ozone machine capable of delivering 210 ventilating units. (IITh) On special occasions, eminent American and foreign visi- tors, and also partners of Stock Exchange members, have been admitted on the floor with an escort during business hours. Further, under prescribed conditions (see Constitution, Article XII, Sec. 7), the partner of the President of the Exchange, though not an.Exchange member, may exercise the privilege of transacting business on the floor for the account of the firm of which the President is a member. This privilege may not, howéver, be exercised by such a partner while the President himself is engaged in the transaction of business on the floor of the Exchange. A like privilege may also be extended to a partner of the Vice-President of the Exchange, the Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, the Chairman of the Committee on Busi- ness Conduct, and the President of the New York Stock Exchange Building Company. Stock Exchange employees are permitted on the floor in uniform. As for employees of Stock Exchange members, telephone clerks are permitted in the members’ telephone booths and specialists’ clerks inside the new hollow stock posts; neither of these places, however, is technically a part of the Exchange trading floor.
