Opis EN

This might not be for everyone.  Some may not think that a phone booth makes a worthy virtual cache.  I find them to be a sort of modern, urban relic and enjoy spotting the rare, remaining examples.  Generally, they only seem to be disappearing, but this one seems to be relatively newly revitalized.  I found it, while playing "hooky" from work on the day of the "Great East Coast Earthquake of 2011".

I'd previously attempted to start a PBP series on another site, but the ones I published ended up being removed shortly after I listed the caches.  If you would like to add to the series, feel free.  Just remember that PBP is for Phone Booth Project - not just any pay phone.  They dont' all have to be virtuals, either. If you find one near home, you could use it as part of a multi or puzzle.


Per www.sandman.com...

The first payphones had an attendant who collected the money and placed the calls. The phones were often in very fancy large booths.

William Gray, who is considered the "inventor" of the payphone, started the Gray Telephone Pay Station Co. in 1891. A patent allowed him to sell his "unattended"  payphones to all of the phone companies in the country.
He started selling the familiar "3 Slot" payphone in 1913, which remained basically the same (many interchangeable parts) until 1965.

The same payphone parts were used by many different manufacturers, who added their own handsets, transmitters, dials etc.

Gray was sold to Automatic Electric in 1948.
