How do you work an antique phone?
That depends on the level of antiquity. If you are referring to a telephone with a rotary dial, you pick up the receiver, make sure you have a dial tone, then for each digit you stick your finger in the hole in the dial next to the digit, turn the dial clockwise until your finger hits the end stop, then remove your finger and wait for the dial to rotate counterclockwise (anticlockwise) until it returns to its original position. Then there are the REALLY antique phones which I've never even seen except in old movies and TV shows. You remove the ear piece from its hook and turn the crank a couple of revolutions to ring the telephone operator. When the operator responds you tell her (it was almost always a her) the name or phone number you want, and she connects you.
Name the important parts of a telephone and describe the function of each?
There are several types of telephones. If we limit our discussion to home phones you have what is called in the industry a Plain Old Telephone Set (POTS). This is a single line phone that has two wires that connect to your Telephone Company's Central Office. These wires are designated Tip and Ring after the old time switchboard based systems. When you go "Off Hook" on your POTS the line card at the Central Office puts dial tone on the wires connected to your telephone set. You then use the dial pad or old time rotary dial to input your desired number. The line card monitors your dialing and when it has enough digits it tries to connect you to that number through a potentially vast telephone network. When the call is completed the person you called is connected to the handset through amplifiers and you can talk and listen via the handset.
