The Western Electric
Telephone Story Poster
This 24" by 20" poster (scans
courtesy of Coen Meeder) was distributed around 1965 to Bell System customers by
Western Electric for free. It is not known if anyone sells this poster but you might check
with Phoneco, Inc. It is very similar to the 1969 version but note the PicturePhone is the
earlier, MOD I model and not the MOD II.
In order to be able to read the descriptions
that appear under each of the thirty photo images in this poster, Coen Meeder scanned the
poster in six sections (that's all that would fit on the scanner at one time!) at 600 dots
per inch. I then "spliced" the six cropped sectional scans together and created
a HUGE file (about 6 Megabytes).
You can view a close-up of each phone shown in
the poster below simply move your mouse over the one you want to view and click! You can
also "zoom" in on the AT&T description of the poster by clicking on the
AT&T logo or the description under the logo.
