Western Electric 302--- dial tone issues

Hi...
I stand ready to be corrected, but to the best of my recollection
there were none at all - save mercury vapor tubes...
Had to carry the radio battery down to the corner gas station to
have it recharged once in a while... until Rogers invented the
rogers batteryless radio
Matter of fact if any history buffs are out there, that resulted in
a radio station in Toronto - CFRB, where the RB is Rogers Batteryless.
And today that station still continues, as well as all of the offshoot
Rogers stuff; like Rogers Cable, and Rogers cell network, etc.
