Collection quality:

The magnetite telephone is a very popular model promoted by the French Telecommunication Bureau in 1920s. Because the telephone at that time did not have the function of hands-free and multi-party listening, the second pocket watch receiver was specially designed to answer the phone for more than two people at the same time, which greatly facilitated the receiver. In the folk, it is also called mother-in-law phone. Its unique shape, small size, coupled with its interesting implication, won the favor of many customers.

Magneto telephone set is a telephone with two self-contained dry batteries as power supply and a magnet type hand generator (used to generate AC ringing signal). The telephone is used in the magnetic switch system, and it is the oldest one. It has low requirement for line and long communication distance, but it is not convenient to use. Two such telephones can also be connected to form a simple intercom telephone. It is suitable for rural, military and railway departments. Main features:

Common telephone, a telephone which is supplied with signal and communication power by telephone exchange, appeared in 1882. The call is manually connected by the operator, without dial and magnet generator. The telephone has simple structure and low price. 1. The telephone adopts magnet type transmitter, which has the characteristics of long service life, stable performance, low noise and high sensitivity.

2. The auto transformer circuit is used in the communication circuit of the telephone, which is channeled into a side tone elimination circuit. The telephone has high efficiency in receiving calls, and its voice is loud and clear;

3. The ringing and receiving circuits are separated by a key press switch, and the polarized electric bell coil is in series, so the sensitivity is high and the receiving distance is long.

Collection characteristics

The Beijing Centennial world old telephone Museum has collected more than 2000 telephone collections and more than 2000 precious historical documents from dozens of countries in the world over the past 100 years since the invention of the telephone. The collection comprehensively and systematically reflects the centennial development of the world telephone since the invention of the telephone in the 1870s. The collection of Beijing Centennial world old telephone museum is all related to telephone (telephone subject). From magnet telephone, common telephone, automatic dial telephone, automatic key telephone, analog cordless telephone to digital telephone, it involves nearly 50 countries and hundreds of brands that have contributed to the development of human telephone. The collection reflects the development of telephone in the world and the development and change of telephone communication means since the invention of telephone in 1870s. The telephone is a great invention that benefits all mankind. Today, when people enjoy the convenience beyond time and space brought by telephone, they should not only sigh for the wisdom of their predecessors, but also not forget the hardships and sweat of their predecessors in the development of telephone communication technology. Understanding the development history of telephone is our best memory and respect for our predecessors.

If someone asks, what is the most popular in China? The phone is the same. There are so many kinds of phones, even those who pick up waste on the street, with mobile phones in their waists. Indeed, the popularity of the telephone in China is unmatched by any kind of commodity. It took only 20 years from the 1980s when there was only one telephone in a unit to the early 21st century when every household had a telephone. The telephone has become an indispensable communication tool in our daily life.

The history of telephone is only more than 100 years, but it has been integrated into people's work and life. As a witness of the important development period of Chinese telephone, the museum shoulders the historical responsibility of connecting the past and the future. We have the responsibility to continuously provide consumers with products that keep pace with the times, so that the vast number of people and young people who use the telephone can understand the invention and development history of the telephone, and understand the development of communication technology in the world, so that information and communication technology can benefit the next generation. It's too common for people's daily life. Because of this, many people don't care much about the change and development of the telephone. If someone has built a museum of his telephone collection, you will have a question: "the total history of the telephone is only 100 years. What special telephone can be collected with such a sense of the times?"
