|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Today, telephone call connections are made electronically. At first, however, a telephone operator seated at a switchboard manually connected each local and long-distance call. Most telephone operators were women.
In this photo, taken in the early 1920s, a Seattle telephone operator uses a telephone switchboard to connect people who've called with the people they're calling.
