Gil, you are doing a fine job. We are all indebted do your service. I appreciate your making digest posts easier to read.

Bert's entire ground floor was one "working museum" with old telegraph instruments, antique telephones, switching apparatus, and early key telephone systems. There was even open wire strung in some rooms.

I have been in contact with the person taking care of Bert's house and from what I can determine everything is just as it was when Bert died.
