    This PBX attendant (operator) appears to be holding a message form. Before voice mail, the attendant(s) would take a message on paper then either page you or wait for you to call in to retrieve your messages.

    Attendants also filled out a paper ticket recording each long distance call. For example, if you called the Auburn, Washington plant, the attendant would fill out a paper form and your department would get billed for the call.

    The odd ball on the pen is used to dial the rotary dial at right. Sore fingers? Just did your nails? The pen gets worn instead of you.

    Many photos show Rohr employees with Pac*Tel Motorola Bravo numeric pagers on their belts.
