The DS spoke his orders into that phone horn strapped around his neck so he didn't have to hold it. He needed his hands free to write the orders as he dictated them and then to underline each repeat as the RULEBOOK PROVIDED. ..The round device is (I think) a speaker which through which he listened. The horn around his neck had plug in so he could unplug it and walk around.
I used to to up the the DS office in At. Joe MO when the office was down on 4th St. with my grandfather..I would always head into the DS "ilnner" office and listen to the chatter...Never forget it.
Sometimes the DS would be wearing head phones, but usually it was the speaker.

Steve - Always ENJOY your posts! This Internet image is for you - Lincoln Division dispatchers on June 15, 1929. The dispatchers office was located upstairs in the station. From the number of dispatchers shown, I assume the image shows the first, second and third tricks, or at least the first and second. I would think the seated dispatcher with the bow tie is the chief dispatcher.
This must've been about the time that telephone dispatching was becoming more common as note the primitive speaking horn on the scissors jack next to the seated dispatcher that he could shout his orders into. Or, may be it was a listening device, instead. What do you think? See anything else in this old image that might be of interest to Group members? Best Regards - Louis
