I know film tropes are special, and I wondered on this.
Seen on old x-files, the notion of a "call trace"
- Takes time
- Have to stay on call
- Gets more and more digits over time
I wonder how much is based on reality, albeit distorted.
I imagine analogue exchanges, someone at exchange checking mechanical selectors, or a (non audio) "buzzing" out the circuit, and it taking time.
The second anything digital it (a) takes no time and (b) can be done after the call has ended.
Anything in it?
