Show MOUNTAIN STATES INTRODUCES NEW TYPE TELEPHONE Gerald E. Vickers, Beaver County manager for Mountain States' Telephone, today announced an-nounced that on Monday, Nov. 28, the telephone company will be introducing to its Utah customers cus-tomers the most revolutionary telephone in 40 years. Called the Trimline, this "phone of the future" evolved from the bulky lineman's test set and includes the dial in the handset. Unlike the test set, the TrimlLne has the lean look of a piece of sculpture: with no dial, transmitter or receiver re-ceiver in sight when it's not in use. Mr. Vickers explained that the Trimline phone has a recall button below the dial allowing allow-ing a caller to clear the line and get the dial tone after each call. Thus he can make call after call without hanging up between conversations. This feature has made it especially es-pecially popular beside an easy chair or as a bedside telephone. Both in homes and hospitals, telephone users in test areas across the nation have appreciated appre-ciated being able to spin the dial in the palms of their hands. "Another thing test area customers cus-tomers liked about the new phone," Mr. Vickers said, "was ite adaptability to more out-of-the-way places. Since there's no need to reach for the base when dialing, the wall model can be installed in halls, below business counters or even in the knee well of a desk. The desk model can be kept in a wall niche, or on any small, flat surface." Trimline comes to the Mountain Moun-tain States area after extensive testing in selected areas thru-out thru-out the country. It has been received with what telephone company officials term "enthusiastic "enthu-siastic customer response." |
