- Does anyone happen to have a phone book sufficiently old enough to
- list the old-style exchange names in the South Bay?
-
- The one I know in Palo Alto was for the main 32x exchange, known as
- "DAvenport," from an old sign. Davenport? What's that have to do with
- Palo Alto? Did the phone company just make that up?
-
- And did the 424's, 85x's, 497's and so forth come from anywhere?
- Where could I find out?
-
- Any hints appreciated.
