Steampunk - Phones - The old switch board Skateboard

Remember these? How could you? These are pretty old, they are patching cables on an old switch board. Used to connect people so you can talk to anyone in a very tiny area. Today of course old Mabel would have to have like millions of wires to push into those holes, but it would keep her well employed. I suppose though it would be hard to fax something with this system and the Internet would be a nightmarishly slow process. Good thing for the modern age. YAY!
