I just now read the thread and viewed the video about the evolution of 
telephones. Does anyone remember the crank telephone that hangs of the 
wall, no numbers associated with it, often a party line where you 
cranked "one long" for the operator and a variety of short and long 
cranks (cranks gave a buzzing bell tone) to reach other people using 
your party line? Obviously, you could perversely listen when others on 
your party line got a call because you heard their call designation.
