Dan PortsNew phone. Looking forward to all the time I’ll save dialing by storing my contacts… on punch cards!
Got this phone up and running, and it is every bit as satisfying as I had hoped to be able to dial using punch cards.
GuyDudeman@dan That's rad. Where on earth were those used? And by whom?
@GuyDudeman Western Electric manufactured them in the 60s and 70s.
For the executive and the office worker, according to the advertisements! https://www.telephonecollectors.info/index.php/browse/document-repository/catalogs-manuals/western-electric-bell-system/marketing-documents-by-date/12708-bell-system-card-dialer-brochure-apr63/file
@dan That's so rad. I love it so much. It's fun that these old phones still work! I don't even have a landline at our house.
