This early docu-drama begins in the years just after the Civil War. Enos Barton is a Western Union telegraph operator in Rochester, NY. He moved to Cleveland where he partnered with Elisha Gray to form Gray & Barton, which later became the Western Electric Company.
In it we learn that telephone operators would have been men, but that their "fingers arent educated to this sort of thing."
