This phone is different from other phones: The phone does not have a dial disc. The phone has a dial drum. The dial drum is a part of the telephone. The dial drum rotates. You can use it to dial a number.

This phone was also special because: • You can change the volume of the phone. • The phone was made of thermoplastic. Thermoplastic means: The plastic can be made into different shapes at high temperatures. The plastic can also be welded.
