I first saw a touch-tone phone at a farm show in 1957. It was a long
time before Bell Telephone was offering them. One model had plastic
cards,sort of the size of credit cards, with 11? rows of holes for each
of the 10 buttons. You'd push the card into the phone, and when ready
to dial, push a button and the card would pop out, "dialing" numbers as
is went.
