Great that you still have an old telephone! Sometimes I miss it, that the cable was too short, my mum who told me not to stay too long at the phone lol😁 Poor mum and dad, I gave them a lot of very high phone bills calling my friends abroad❤
I love how your home phone is just so fancy and vintage. My grandparents had a black one and sadly they sold it in a yard sale 😢 And also very interesting book kate! Keep the good work up
This was fun! Lol My family had a black phone like that when I was a kid...omg I feel old 😂 I do miss the satisfaction of slamming the reciever down to make the point that I'm mad! 😂
Lovely reading on a great subject. The "modern" green Trimphones, as shown in the first illustration had a sometimes fatal flaw. If you put your hand over the microphone, to prevent the person at the other end from hearing a "private comment", you could still be heard by the other party because the mic. itself was up at the earpiece end of the handset with an internal acoustic tube running down to where the microphone would normally be. Lethal! We were warned about it at the BBC. NB, UA-cam is full of wonderful telephone stuff, including many mechanical sounds that the old equipment generated. The Connections Museum channel is worth a wizz for anyone interested . . .
5:22 Is because this little things that I love and admire for ever our eternal emperor Peter II (Pedro II in portuguese). He was and is one the reasons to be proud to born on this land called Brazil! 🇧🇷
Fun fact: Mr Strowger was an undertaker in Kansas City. The wife of the proprietor of a rival firm was a telephone operator at the local exchange. Strowger became convinced that he was losing business because the operators were passing funeral enquiries through to the other undertaker, and this prompted him to invent the Strowger automatic telephone exchange . . .
I've got a 'strayan rotary phone in my toilet. One day it might ring, and I'll be called into some shenanigans. its a red phone, so it will be someone important.
Thinking back, I feel like my grandparents had a rotary phone like this. This would've been back in the 90s, I could've sworn it. It was only briefly, but I'm sure it was there. They probably held onto it until my mum persuaded them to get with the times 🤣 I'm turning 30 years old in a few days, and I never actually learned how these phones work until maybe a year or two ago. It's a lot more complicated than simply pushing a button corresponding to a number...
It's not that complicated. You have to dial the number each time, just like you have to dial it when you first put it into your smartphone's memory... The smartphone still has all 9 numbers + zero that you can dial anytime you want... Of course it's the rotating that needs some skill, but that's just fun and easy after a few tries. The process itself is extremely easy...
@@tarastreasure Oh no, I got that, but it seems less clear than using a standard dialpad where you just press the number, and of course, it's only really confusing the first couple of times you do it, but you'd have to know to drag the specific numbered hole to the end, not to mention the fact that it takes longer to dial a number. The phone is a great design, but I never properly got used to the rotary style and I'm not surprised dialpad phones took over.
@@Gondarth I understand. 😊 I'm ten years older than you and we had one ever since I can remember until... Don't know when. 😅 I never liked talking on the phone, not even today when I knkw who's calling, but I used it quite a bit. It is tricky to rotate 9 or 8 or even 7 fluently enough, because if you stop at a point before reaching the end it doesn't register well and you have to start the whole thing all over again. Now that I think of it, the sound of the wheel dragged by your finger and then falling back when released is very asmr-ish. Only today did I realize this. 😆

Please do more like this! It's so fascinating. An ASMR series on books on the history of technology would be a dream
Great that you still have an old telephone! Sometimes I miss it, that the cable was too short, my mum who told me not to stay too long at the phone lol😁 Poor mum and dad, I gave them a lot of very high phone bills calling my friends abroad❤
Me too!
the noise of the dial turning gave me such nice tingles
That's interesting!
I love how your home phone is just so fancy and vintage. My grandparents had a black one and sadly they sold it in a yard sale 😢 And also very interesting book kate! Keep the good work up
Most things in my home are vintage... including me!
So it's not just vintage reading material you have, but also vintage technology... You never know when either of them will come in handy 🤣
I was thinking that as I was making this video!
This was fun! Lol

We had a wedgwood blue one - very posh!
Informative and wonderfully read. Thank you. ❤
I remember hating numbers with a lot of nines and zeros in it 😅
Yes, exactly!
My gran used to have a red, brown and green telephone like that. I remember getting in to trouble for playing with them
Yes, my grandma had a green one and I remember the grey ones too!
I have fond memories of being at my Grannies house with one of those telephones 😊
I just saw the Library of whispers tag on the phone ❤
Ha ha!!
Very educational!
The phone I used as a teenager.. "Vintage"
I know, right?
Cell phones are handy but I kind of miss old-school telephones 🤷♀️

Ah, yes the Trimphone, I'd forgotten the name! I'll go and look that channel up!
Imagine showing the authors of that book the internet... it would be likely beyond thier comprehension 😂
