A Wheatstone Bridge. I remember using one of these things in Physics Lab at NM Tech, in Socorro, in 1974.
The Telephone Museum featured a category of people I hadn't considered before: New Mexican Telephone Operators who stayed at duty despite threats to life and limb.
This display honors the Telephone Operator who stayed at duty when Pancho Villa and his men crossed the border at Columbus, NM, and shot up the town on March 9, 1916.

As an employee of Illinois Bell for 42 years, I really liked the time and picture you posted here...nice job. BTW the lead pot went by the wayside in Illinois around 1978 or so. They were throwing those in the garbage and asked if I may have one.. still use it to this day, melting lead for to make small ingots for casting bullets, and works great as a heat source for my turkey fryer, Thanks again, brought back some nice memories
