The first telephone I remember had no dial at all. You simply picked up the handset and the operator said "number please". You gave her the number and she placed the call. Also was a party line..I still remember our number...444-R4...There were certain people on the line who always listened in..We lived in the sticks on a dairy farm...We had a party line when I was a kid.
