Description

Nurmolda Aldabergenov’s Office Telephone - a classic rotary-dial telephone widely used in the Soviet Union. The body is made of black Bakelite, while the dial is a transparent plastic rotating disc. The curved handset rests on lever switches. The telephone has a handset cord and a line cord. A mechanical bell inside the unit produces the ringing signal. Numbers were dialed by rotating the dial, which generated pulses and transmitted them through the telephone network.
