madly wind / rotate the handle on the right hand side, this would send a pulse through to the lass on the switchboard, to pas you through to the line you required Did you really use the telephone in that manner? In 1980s?? That is something... I thought that machine on wall looks like a human face, and one below is even more so by the location of microphone.

This one below, has a Morse key and an old fashioned microphone (I guess the round object next to the key is so..?).

See also "Bacon's Cypher" 1605
Steganography
So, perhaps in a thematic, such as this,
one could also include stamps with Sir Francis Bacon?
(just a suggestion for reflection)

On the first stamp it says "automatic telex network". Similar to later technologies which we almost forgotten, fax or pager, this must be critical communication tool in that era. Radio is still on, but being replaced by digital and will disappear shortly. Turkey 1975 / automatic telex network, radio link   |
