OK "history of an invention as seen by a long time employee" type of film (oh I've seen a lot). This time the telephone is profiled. 2 people here, a wires and switches guy and a telephone operator are profiled. It's all pretty standard except for the scene when the operator helps a poor kid who's injured his arm... long before the days of "not your responsibility"
