日治時期臺灣電話自動式交換機的建立及其影響-以最初設立的高雄為討論中心

The Development and Effects of the Automatic Telephone System in Taiwan Under Japanese Colonial Rule-Focus on First Establishment of Kaohsiung

摘要


就電話交換機系統來說,若當地用戶已達千戶以上,且用戶數有持續增長的趨勢,就以長遠發展來看,換裝自動式交換系統,除了交換機本身,通常還要有興建放置交換機建築物。雖然這樣的換裝成本較高,但自動交換機系統,可以在裝設時預估未來可能增加的用戶數量,具有預留開設時實裝用戶數到最大容量用戶數的增加空間,能提供短期內較多用戶增加的容量的可能性。不過,令人疑問的是,為何高雄會被選擇成為全臺首個交換系統變成自動式的地方呢?本文認為是與高雄局原本的交換設備,和自動交換這種系統的特色有關。高雄局於1932年2月開始自動交換系統運作,為全臺首個使用此系統的地方。而高雄局換裝後,臺北局、嘉義局陸續改裝成自動交換系統後,這三個地區在1930年代交換機系統的自動化,是日後戰爭時期用戶得以迅速擴張提升的原因。此外,在戰後直到1950年代後期這三地戰前裝設的自動交換系統仍是當地重要電話交換設備。

並列摘要


Telephone systems were introduced in Taiwan in the early twentieth century. The automatic telephone system was not established until 1932, and Kaohsiung was the first place to retrofit the automatic telephone system in Taiwan. Although such a retrofit costs higher, this system helps to increase the number of telephone subscriber at such short notice during the war. This article attempts to explore why Kaohsiung branch was chosen to retrofit the automatic telephone system. This believe to be related to the telephone switching equipment at that time in Kaohsiung branch and the characteristics of the automatic telephone system. Secondly, after Kaohsiung branch, Taipei branch and Chiayi branch also retrofit the automatic telephone system, which allowed the number of telephone subscribers to increase rapidly during the war, and continued to play an important role in the post-war period.
