    Automatic Electric was a major manufacturer of telephones and central office equipment. They were a leader in engineering, quality and innovation. AE designed most all of the dial telephones and central office equipment for the US NAVY.
    Strowger on the dial refers to Dr Strowger, an undertaker and inventor during the late 1800's, who learned that operators were referring customers to his competition. He invented the famous step switch that made dialing practical and very successful. It revolutionized the industry. The Automatic Electric Co acquired the rights to the switch and produced first and most acceptable dialing system.
