1718 telephone sounds!  recording from Tallahassee Florida
1720 special operator; haste makes waste
1725 continues
1730 "A real happy hand in the kitchen is a handy wall phone in color"
OM interrupts - "You have been listening to the Bell System. This is the Bell System"
1735 "Please deposit fifteen cents"  "These experimental transmissions"
1740 "An operator will answer" "Additional directory listings"
1745 "Telephone repair" "This is a recorded announcement"

I've said this before: I recorded five minutes of this to demonstrate to my music students the aesthetic of John Cage.  Thanks!
