Full Mechanical: The Panel Telephone Switch

Connections Museum - 2020-06-30

All about the sounds and workings of the telephone network. Let's start this off with the panel switch and how a basic intra-office call works. (That is, a call from a subscriber on a panel switch, to another subscriber on the same switch).

We'll show you how revertive pulse works, and what exactly is making all the noises you hear on the Phone Trips tapes.  Make sure to leave a comment if you have any questions, and let me know if we should make more of these!
