--- what does 'no wrong numbers' mean?[00:00:12]
mr.james scott has a garage in silbury and now he has just bought another garage in pinhurst.[00:00:20]
pinhurst is only five miles from silbury,[00:00:32]
but mr.scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage,[00:00:36]
so he has just bought twelve pigeons.[00:00:42]
yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from pinhurst to silbury.[00:00:47]
the bird covered the distance in three minutes.[00:00:53]
up to now, mr.scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other.[00:00:58]
in this way, he has begun his own private 'telephone' service.[00:01:08]
