re: #356 Anymouse 🌹

That’s why our number was “12” - one long ring, two short rings.

If there was an emergency in town, the switchboard operator would plug in the whole first bank of phones, take a yardstick and push all the switches eight times, wait a bit, then tell everyone what was going on.

She’d then unplug the first bank and plug them in the second bank (rinse and repeat for the third bank).

Do you still have that?
