This is a video tape of Chris Ricciotti, owner and curator of the Rockland Telephone History Center, being challenged by his friends and supporters during the museum open house on the weekend of Saturday & Sunday, April 14th and 15th, 2018.

Chris challenged them to load him up with as much traffic as possible from all the display phones we have on the wall displays at the museum. They went around and generated call traffic while he operated the switchboard, connecting calls.

Chris is sitting at a Rockland, MA Switchboard, a Western Electric 555 Cord Switchboard. Next to him is Bryan Williams at the Whitman, MA Switchboard, also a Western Electric 555 Cord switchboard. The last board in this row is the Brockton, MA Switchboard, a Western Electric 551B Switchboard.

Come and visit our museum. We are always look for people who would to learn about being telephone operators or who like telephone history and would enjoy greeting visitors and giving them a tour of our exhibit.
