Long distance calls in 1963
This site details history of the necessary switching machines:https://telephoneworld.org/long-distance-companies/att-long-distance-network/history-of-att-long-lines/historical-4a-4m-crossbar-tandem-list/
Dallas and New Orleans were among the earliest cities to get them in 1951 and 1953, respectively:
These thirteen machines were originally called #A4A machines. This
stood for “Anticipated” #4 “Advanced”. They were originally installed
withOUT any card-translator boxes, however they were manufactured for
“easy” addition of card-translators when they became perfected for use
in 1953. Unfortunately, I don’t have the dates that these machines
added their card-translators, other than that it was during/after 1953.
