Ever seen a phantom phone line? If anyone has the right to claim the
name, it is Western Electric.

A phantom circuit is a different thing. Usually only used in desperation
as the quality isn't as good as the discrete pairs.

If the lines were designed to be phantomed, as many long-distance
telephone circuits were, the phantom should meet the same spec as the
main pairs.
