Telephone EXchange Name Project
Description: Telephone numbers used to begin with two letters, which were an
abbreviation for a word. For example, there was a Glenn Miller song
called PEnnsylvania 6-5000, and Liz Taylor made a movie called
BUtterfield-8. I'm just barely old enough to remember that my phone
number at home when I was 5 or so started with SYcamore 4, or SY4.
These were telephone exchanges, and had exchange names -- PEnnsylvania,
SYcamore, KLondike, etc. This project is an attempt to assemble information about exchange names from a lot of widely spread original sources.
