[Telecom] In the college dorm in the 50s there was a wire with a nail on the end ran from the water cooler to the pay phone area. To get a dial tone just poke it through the hole in the center of the handset mouthpiece. The hole was worn from much use. ***** Moderator's Note ***** At certain colleges, during the 1960's, there was a special use of the Vice- President's name: Spiro -> Blue Box T. -> Bridged "T" Rectifier Agnew -> Black Box The "T" in the above list was used to modify a payphone connection so that the 'coin collect' battery would arrive at the pay phone as 'coin return' polarity. It was obviated by the fraud-latch in the 'Fortress' phones which replaced the 200 series.
