********************************************************************

R E M A R K (1):
The BUTTON under the dial breaks the line for an additional call.

R E M A R K (2):
To make the  DIAL SMALLER,  there is NO "Spatium" between 0 .. 1
visible. There is a  T R I C K : To have the "RunWay", the HOOK
is moving when dialing!

R E M A R K (3):
Observe the VINTAGE PLUG ...
                                      

R E M A R K (4):  It has a  NIGHT LIGHT FEATURE ( illuminated dial )
but the  6.3 Volt  LIGHT BULB  requires an  EXTERNAL TRANSFORMER  -
the same principle as for the   »PRINCESS«   Telephone,  but with  a
D I F F E R E N T  LIGHT BULB ...

   

The picture above shows the DETAIL of the  »TOUCH TONE TRIMLINE« ...
The Light Bulb & Holder ( after removing Cover-Plate & Reflector ).

R E M A R K (5):  The next »LED« VERSION (9-82) has a LED installed
instead of a light bulb and powered direct by the telephone line ...

   

... »LED« is shown under the dialer when turned ...

             

Henry Dreyfuss (1904-1972), a celebrated  industrial designer,  gave
the  302, 500, PRINCESS  & TRIMLINE their style - He also designed
JohnDeere tractors, Hoover vacuum cleaners, and  streamlined trains.

The LETTERS ON THE DIALER are for  MEMORIZING TELEPHONE NUMBERS ...
