About This Phone
Western Electric No. 30-A 100 station peg dialer. This was introduced in Queens, New York in 1902 and then about 40 other systems in small communities in the northeast. This small switching system exchange was Bell's answer to a dialing system, but it was only temporary. Most of the systems had to be discontinued when they outgrew the maximum connectible size of the system (100 lines). These were produced by Western Electric between 1902 and 1904.
