The humble telephone is often referred to as the 'dog and bone' which is Cockney rhyming slang, and sometimes the 'blower' which comes from the tube device connecting a ships bridge to the engine room - the caller would blow into the tube and cause a whistle to sound at the other end to attract attention. The 2 people could then hold a conversation by alternating speaking into the tube and then listening to the reply.
