That working man's smile is creepy. Wonder if he ended up being the Villisca Ax Murderer who spawned so many horror films? And, as usual, women had no role what so ever in the world wide, cross cultural creation of the telephone. Lazy bitches. And you boys can keep your damn Brazilian.
The working man's smile: forced, maniacal, soulless.
Telephones from that time sounded downright organic compared to how they're made today! Only 19 materials. Sounds like you could make a phone out of a few metals, a bit of rubber, and a couple of bedsheets.
I just yesterday finushed reading a book abt thr Eastland , the worst non-war US maritime disaster (not including fires), which overturnef still moored to the docks in Chicago. Over 800 dead.
The company that rented the ship for the day? Western Electric.
