Posted by TurboZutek 10/23/2004 8:07 PM | remove   Central Battery. It refers to the Power Supply and switching method. You lift the phone, flick the cradle a few times to get operator attention and ask for the number / location you want put through to. Even large exchanges used batteries (And still do) as they supply exceptionally stable power and have an inherant uninteruptable quality.

In the UK we had CB phones which were just basically radio phones based on the Citizen's Band... But I think here we are talking about something else - a hardwired phone with no dialing mechanism. It's one or the other!! :-)) Posted by NoSuchPerson 1/30/2007 11:48 PM | remove   No, a Central Battery phone system is an old technology. It used to be used in North America up until the 60's or so. Basically, the user can't dial a number, they pick up the phone and get an operator who then completes your call. It's 100% not the same as a CB radio.
