The Making of a Telephone

Old movies made for the Bell System. One that caught my eye was this a video that showed the various parts that went into making a telephone handset: all 448 parts

I'm a 90's kid but let me tell you, I would take my 302 telephone rather than a modern phone any day!

@dgwaters Nice, I'm an 80's kid, and I'm going to be using my 500 sets for many years to come, I'm after a 1910's candlestick :)

gosh. this is really a hell-of-a-tideous job. now i understand why antique phones, or vintage ones especially pre 1960s are very high in value. if you realized, it only functions for us to communicate with another party, and the bits and pieces to create one would be beyond what a solo man could do!

That ringer is very pushy. That's a cute little movie. Liked the cartoon telephone dude.

Sad today's phones wouldn't hold a candle to the phones made by Western Electric. Sad.
