	Telephone switchboard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A switchboard (also called a manual branch exchange) is a device used to manually connect a group of telephones from one to another or to an outside connection.
		The long distance operator would plug into the trunk for the distant city, and the inward operator in the distant city would answer, obtain the number from their local information operator, and ring the call.
		If the number was in a distant city, the operator would call the inward operator in the destination city, and ask her to try the number, or to test a line to see if it was busy or out of order.

		A key in the forward position connects the operator to the cord, and a key in the back position sends ringing generator out on the cord.
		When a call is received, the associated jack lamp lights and the operator responds by placing the back cord into the jack and throwing the back key forward.
		Large city switchboards usually were mounted floor to ceiling and the operators were boys who could scoot up a ladder to connect to the higher jacks.

	Judy Holliday (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Born Judith Tuvim in New York City, she began her association with the theater as a backstage switchboard operator for Orson Welles' Mercury Theater and made her debut with The Revuers, a cabaret group she formed with Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
		This led to minor roles in three Hollywood films in 1944 (SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS, WINGED VICTORY and GREENWICH VILLAGE) and to eventual stardom on Broadway as Billie Dawn, the shrewd dumb blonde in Born Yesterday (1946).
		She repeated the role with hilarious success in the 1950 screen version, winning an Academy Award in the process, the year after stealing the show from Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy in the role of a bird-brained attempted-murder suspect in the film ADAM'S RIB (1949).
