Default Re: Cordless telephone with a dial.

Not directly.

Perhaps it would make more sense if I'd said
"I suppose it must have had for the trigger to toggle,"

As I understand it, the "trigger" is the correct name for the gizmo that toggles around when the dial reverses direction, and transfers the profile of the toothed wheel to the dial pulse contacts.

The larger angle required is precisely to accommodate this action.

A nice bit of lateral thinking by Western Electric, or should that be angular thinking.
