In 1899, telephones operated using a basic electrical system that converted sound waves into electrical signals. When a user spoke into the mouthpiece, a diaphragm vibrated, creating varying electrical currents that traveled through wires to the receiver of the other phone. The receiver then converted these signals back into sound waves, allowing for voice communication over distances. The system relied on a network of switchboards and operators to connect calls between different lines.
