How was the phone used before?

Hi. We're still at today./พิพิธภัณฑ์ชาวบางกอกAnd as Koi promised last time, today we talk about the use of old people's phones.

The first picture is a rotary cell phone, or another name is a rotary phone. We went to find out that this phone was very popular in the 1950s and widely used until the 1970s and 1980s, before being replaced by a push-button phone (when we were young, we caught a push-button home phone).

The phone we took, the speaker said, was a donated device from the Thailand Telephone Organization (everyone can go to see the real thing in the third house).

And the tidbit we got today is that the old phone number had only five numbers (for example, look at the last second line), and the rotation had to be rotated quickly. If you forget a number, you have to press again.

So we gave an example so that we could understand, "Let's say my number was 23456, but I'm not sure for a moment what our third number is. Even a moment, I have to press all the numbers, right?"

The speaker replied, "You have to press again from scratch."

The second is an old-time rental sign. The sign will say 'TO LET' or 'Rent'. In this part, the speaker jokes with us, "This room is not a bathroom."

At first we didn't understand it until he said, "TO LET, if I fill the middle, it becomes TOILET, which means bathroom."

And he also explained that this house is not really a house, but a rental room house. But when it became a museum, it took down the part of the morning room into a wide hall area for visitors to walk comfortably. And the morning room on the first floor was often opened as a shop front for professional trade. The room photographed at 2 was told by the speaker to store the things. And the living space was on the second floor and up.
