re: #282 Sherlock Hound
I have NEVER seen four-digit dialing. Never ever. And I still remember my mom’s old phone number from 1969. Seven digits.
My grandmother’s phone still had a disk in the middle of the rotor that said “Fleetwood” in the 1970s. I think that was some sort of code?? It wasn’t used anymore in the 1970s, but here rotary phone, which weighed about 20# and had years of dust and wax buildup must have had 4+F or something. I’ll have to ask my dad. Oh, wait. He can’t remember anything anymore.
