Do you have a favourite rotary telephone?
Excellent question!
Yes, I have a favorite:
Tumblr media
The Northern Electric Pyramid phone from about 1935. I had this on my desk at my old job, tied into the telephone system. Its distinctive ring made it really easy to discern if I was the one being called instead of my coworkers. The chrome dial and the area code indicate that this unit came from Canada.
Tumblr media
Coming in second place is my Northern Telecom 500-style set with official Commodore branding -- also from Canada. These were sold with VICMODEMs in a special bundle exclusively in the Canadian market. The VICMODEM requires that you detach the cord from the handset, plug it directly into the modem, then dial for the computer.
Tumblr media
Problem is that you can't do that here, because the handset cord is permanently attached! Solution? The little white adapter box called the VIC 1605. Very hard to find, but I found one.
Tumblr media
Coming in third place would be the Contempra from Northern Electric/Telecom from 1967 (why do these keep being Canadian?). Beautiful colors, angles. Great phone, but sadly I don't have one. Atleast not one like this... NT made these into lineman's test sets (commonly called butt sets because they hang on a lineman's belt by their butt/you use them to butt-in to a call when testing things).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I bought one and turned it into the NT2017 Rotary Cellphone, a real working 2G cellular telephone. It's got an Adafruit Fona board inside with an Atmel 32U4 microcontroller, a little screen, and zero ability to send/receive text messages. It didn't work very well, but it was really fun to build and use before it broke. Construction was very fragile, and my code running it was hot garbage. Since the discontinuation of 2G cell service, it's just decorative at this point.
The last one of my favorites is one I certainly don't have: a late 19th century Skeleton Telephone from Ericsson. Technically not a rotary phone, but it does have a crank that you rotate!
Tumblr media
These are expensive, really hard to find, and obviously rather difficult to use without having an operator to ring up when you turn the crank. However, they are stunningly beautiful, and all of the functionality is on display arranged in such a way to accentuate the elegance of its industrial design.
How about you? Do you have a favorite rotary phone?

Lincoln Contempra Mid-sized Sedan Concept
What if... Lincoln brought back this older concept sedan for the markets as a mid-sized entry level sedan. In this scenario, it would be below the Town Car and Continental but above the LS as far as equipped features and luxury pricing in the line-up. This would offer both leatherette as well as a few cloth options, with standard heated and optional cooled seats for the higher trims. Offered with both a turbo 4 cylinder motor with a plug in hybrid option, and a in-line 6 cylinder engine with hybrid system. This system would be sending power to the rear wheels and the combustion engine focusing on the front wheels making it a front wheel drive configuration when the hybrid system is not active.

The Contempra Telephone 1967. John Tyson, a recent graduate of the Ontario College of Art (OCAD), joined Northern Electric's Carling Campus in Ottawa as their first industrial designer. A few months later he was asked to design a new phone that could be built at their London, Ontario factory using as many Canadian components as possible. Tyson also took the advice of his teachers at OCAD and designed two phones, his own new design and another that exactly met the original requirements management had set down, which produced "an amorphous blob". About 18 months after joining Northern Electric he presented both models; his design immediately caught their eye and the original requirements were forgotten. This was followed by a naming contest, which was initially leaning toward either "Expo", due to the upcoming Expo 67, or "Tinkerbell", a play on the name of Dreyfuss' Princess. Tyson eventually convinced everyone that Contempra was the right name. #toronto #design #industrialdesign #ocadu #bellnorthern #canada #canadiandesign (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKwsD52Mv95/?igshid=11h330sb3xsxz
