General or alarm ring in case of fire or other emergency was 5 shorts. Around 51-52 it was first phone co in county to go dial. Number changed to 3405. Still on line 40, the middle 2 digits. The initial 3 & final 5 set up so had same ring. Chart in book listed who was on each line (middle 2 digits) & the ring code for first & last digits.

Just pick up reciever to listen in, but had to push button to talk. Willie
