The Drum Dial - Volume 3 - Christoph T M Krause Kartoniert (TB)

In volumes 1 and 2 by the author we already learned a number of significant facts about the somewhat antique telephone Drum Dial FgTist 261 264 from the 1950s. Volume 1 introduced the exterior and interior in detail whilst Volume 2 dealt with the history of its patents right up to the final innovative and future-oriented design.Volume 3 now looks at a completely different aspect namely the sentiments and passions that it triggers and continues to fuel within its worldwide fan and collector community. Why on earth are people in the 21st century - in the age of smartphones and Artificial Int elligence (AI) - still interested in a phone from a long forgotten era a device that is over 70 years old but that is still usable and works without problems? What does this device trigger in technology and design enthusiasts alike and how far does this passion go?The author Christoph T. M. Krause himself is hopelessly drawn to this little device and thus has created a contemporary work that even today introduces new friends to the Drum Dial and holds up a mirror to the passion of the old cracks. The story of the Drum Dial FgTist 261 264 is far from over. Let's get into this homage to a very special design gem indeed.
