BBC Local Live, Leeds
Earlier on I asked you what you thought this was:
Well, I can reveal it's a receiver from one of the first ever telephones. It was, in fact, used in the UK's first ever phone conversation...
It's made from wood and dates back to the 1920s and was used by engineers between an attic and a workshop 30 yards away.
The conversation went:
"Are you there?"
"Yes, I am, will you count?"
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9"
"That's all right. Will you go through the alphabet."
"A.B.C.D.--"
"Wait a minute while I adjust the screw."
Thankfully, phones no longer come with screws.
