I was scrawling ebay, as I usually do, and I saw this. Its a rotary phone, connected to a push button deck. I guess it was added for ordering pizza or paying bill over the phone. Though, I might just be dumb, and not know how common these rigs are.

Used for "end-to-end signaling"  where Touch-Tone was not recognized by the central office or PBX. . For example, entering account numbers on phones connected to a 701B PBX.

Over here, you can use a rotary phone to order pizza, you just tell the person on the other end what you want... :D

Or these days you can order online, which is handy but has its issues with getting orders right... :D

It actually wasn't my idea, I was more thinking automated message machines.. Yes, online is much better because they cannot mess up your orders.
