Telephony from Technical World Magazine, 1905

The old magazines at Internet Archives are endlessly fascinating to me. They give us a picture of the world then, as technology was developing and new products were introduced for future benefit. (Technical World also offered lots of ads for patent lawyers, natch).

Below, there's a reference to "Tesla", as tho everyone would know who that was. He was Nicola Tesla, and look! He predicted the cel phone, in 1905!
