- A long time ago when you went to a telephone business office there
- would be a rack of brochures and booklets, including at least one that
- explained how telephones work (in terms of electromagnets and carbon
- granules and all that kind of stuff that isn't used anymore). I
- believe it was in one of these that I saw mention of a rural telephone
- carrier system that used the power line for transmission. There was a
- picture of a farmhouse and a power pole next to it, and a high voltage
- capacitor that ran from the high voltage power line to a box that had
- the telephone electronics in it.
