Very few people know that after SxS's are long gone, Universal/MCA will be preserving a picture of one in operation. All you have to do is rent the movie "Dial M For Murder" (no pun intended....???), and in one of the scenes where Grace Kelly is dialing away, the scene switches to a SxS, grinding away from the pulses. It was a typical Hitchock cliffhanger. I did mention while Ms. Kelly is dialing away, there is a man with a knife moving up right behind her. Robert Gutierrez
