In the early '50s Ma Bell was installing these switches so you could dial direct without an operator.
The switches were $2 million each and would handle 20,000 lines, or $100 per line.
At that time they were only charging $4 or $5 a month(plus long distance) but they could get rid of a lot of operators.
I'd play it on double speed.

Ford's River Rouge plant - 1096 acres - 7,250,000 sq ft floor - 345 acres of glass windows - 90 miles of RR track - 80,000+ men.
Ships brought in iron ore to make steel and coal to make coke . Trains brought in trees to make charcoal, carloads of leather, and wood for car parts.
Henry knew there was a war coming, he ~~was friends~~ did business with Hitler.
