There's been a lot of recent attention here on the dangers of driving while under the influence of a telephone. Browsing some historic photos of the Bell system I found an early example of the perilous practice.
See (The first version of a mobile radio telephone being used in 1924.)
Despite the headset it does not appear to be hands-free.

That boat, and what's in the upper window? And the twiny spirally things at the base of the lamp poles?

yes the twiny things are interesting
I also like the eyes of the transformer (or whatever that unit is called). They look anxious in a twentieth century way.
