I've seen this one before. It's fun. It just recently showed up again on the Rotary Phone Forum.
Interesting that this should be posted today. I just got confirmation that my model 5302 is being shipped today. It's a hybrid of the 302 and 500, with 302 guts and 500-style case. I'm looking forward to tripping people out with what they think is a fairly modern phone, but finding all of the principle functioning parts based on 1937 technology.
And speaking of tripping out, Jeff, what do you suppose the people at Disney were eating around this same time period when they came up with "Fantasia?"

I Wonder...
What do you think A. G. Bell's take on today's telephone would be? Happy? Sad? Angry? Disillusioned?
(Aunt Clara or Esmeralda, you're on!)

What do you think A. G. Bell's take on today's telep
Well over a dozen years ago when I had only been with the Phone Company for a few years, it was mentioned as a matter of course that "someday" your computer will be your telephone. This was before the wireless craze began and landlines were in such demand for faxes and modems that we couldn't always keep up. I had visions of the giant CPU that ran my desktop computer taking on the role of telephone. It made no sense to me.
Well, as we all know now, it wasn't the computer becoming the phone, but the phone becoming the computer.
I think A.G. Bell would be both amazed and saddened. Amazed at all the telephone had become and its boundless possibilities for business applications, and saddened that it had been reduced to the function of a typewriter by young women behind the wheel of a lethal weapon barreling along at speeds upwards of 65 MPH sharing the news about a sale at Macy's.
