If you saw the insides of an original "wall" phone, you'd see that it used a bell-striker and needed an electrical source to trigger the clacker to the bell. Sound needed transported over the "line", through the cord to the earpiece. In later phones, like the 1940s-1970s "black desk" phone, the insides of the desk portion had more sophisticated wiring and bell. The inside of the ear piece and mouth piece (2 ends) had wiring that acted as receiver (ear side) and sender (mouth side). A repairman lifted out a disc shaped piece to access the connection to the wiring. None of this would be possible without knowledge of engineering and electricity, including the cord that went to the wall jack, connected to an inside drop, that connected to the outside drop on the house, that was connected to wiring on the 'telephone pole' alongside the electrical cable.
