About This Phone
The original speed dial. From brochure text: "With Dialaphone your subscriber makes calls faster, easier and more accurately. There's no hunting through a bulky directory. An indexed directory tape provides space for 850 separate listings. The subscriber simply turns a crank which spins the tape; when the name of the desired party appears in the view frame, he presses the starter key and the call is completed automatically."
