1. I had completely forgotten about charge band c. Could somebody remind me what it was? 2. I can understand the system of pulses for domestic customers as the charges are in the ratio 1:2:3:4 but for call offices they are not in this ratio. Does this mean pulses were not used for call offices? 3. I remember putting the pennies in and pressing button A when the call was connected or button B for refund. This was with dial phones. How did payment take place with an operator controlled telephone kiosk?
