History of Telecommunications in a Lens

Some of the photography from my attendance at the local event in the ITPA Telephone Museum.

The inner workings of the machines which dial in and work through the numbers we so carefully input when making a call.

The exterior of the home and building that currently is home to the museum.

One of the interactable displays that teach visitors how operators know the correct amount of change is inputted.

Some of the elegant displays within the museum.

A reenactment of the job an operator had as well as a functional operators board to teach others how calls are transferred.

A receiver used by Alexander Gram Bell himself, father of telecommunications.

Some of the many phones donated and on display within the museum.

More elegant displays, including telephone line glass caps and some of the oldest phones mounted on the wall, which were hand crank operated.

A display in the museum showing how telephone lines were worked and installed.

An up close look of the old style dialers.

Some of the prized books on display in the museum library detailed the history of telecommunications.

Some of the pristine kept collectibles on display in the library simulating a beautiful old feel of an office.
