So you had to walk back and forth between the microphone and the speaker?

No. The microphone is in the bottom part (which you held near your mouth, and the speaker is in the top part (which you held next to your ear). This whole piece is sometimes called the hand set. When I was growing up, the one phone in the house was in the kitchen, attached to the wall. The cord was long enough that you could do dishes while talking on the phone. There was no voice mail and no answering machine. If someone called and you were on the phone, they would hear a busy signal. If you weren't home, it would ring until they gave up.

I'm so sorry. I thought I hit the spoiler button but I guess I didn't.
replyRead a few more of my comments and you'll know that they're not to be taken seriously (but they are accurate; a twenty-foot handset would require walking back and forth).
Your description applies to almost all of us who were around back then, which is getting to be fewer and fewer.
