Refactoring of Model 102 telephone and Model 202 telephone
This article represent a merge or refactoring of articles Model 102 telephone and Model 202 telephone into a combined presentation. Having two separate articles made little sense for a general audience encyclopedia, because these two types are so closely related historically and technically, that a lot of material needed to be replicated, especially the common history. Furthermore, the 102 and 202 types used the same components, even the same telephone housings, because the difference is actually only in the electric circuit. The two "models' have often been misrepresented as having a circular and oval base, respectively. The new article provides a more balanced overview. kbrose (talk) 17:01, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
