The traffic volume can be expressed in terms of the average number of calls in progress or the number of devices in use. (ENBELL, 80: 474) Tandem and toll offices switch trunks, which are usually much busier than lines. Thus, for a given volume of traffic, there would be fewer trunks than lines, and the switching networks for tandem and toll offices would have relatively fewer terminations than a local switching office.
