Message unit zones, which formerly ran thru southern Westchester and
out to Amityville, Cold Spring Harbor & Farmingdale near the Nassau/
Suffolk border, now also include northern Westchester, Putnam, Rockland
and a small part of Orange (latter 2 across the Hudson!) and also
western Suffolk as far east as Bellport.

Goof in list of zones? It says dial 1+718 for Brooklyn, Queens, S.I.
(and 1+area code for 212,914,516 area points).

Calls within New York Metropolitan LATA (includes Greenwich & Byram in
Connecticut?) are billed by N.Y.Telephone, along with calls to 5 N.J.
counties: Passic, Bergen, Essex, Union, Hudson. (It has been noted else-
where that phone prefixes can cross county lines.)

I saw DTN in a message header today.  Is that some sort of phone #?

I have an earpiece I got from a vandalized phone and noticed that the
terminals were connected to a coil of wire that goes around the whole thing
(the coil is made of thin wire 1 3/4 inch diameter).  At first I thought it
was the speaker coil, but when I disconnected this coil, the earpiece still
worked.

Does this coil have something to do with magnetic coupling devices that
might be attached to the phone?  I can't think of any other use for it as
it doesn't seem to affect the operation at all.
