The Conoco Museum is on the north side of Highway 60, just across from the large Conoco / Phillips 66 complex in Oklahoma City. The museum is free and worth an hour of your time. One display in the musuem is of an Addressograph and an Ediphone with a few wax cylinders. The Addressograph was used to print mailing labels, and the Ediphone to take dictation. We have it a little better today, with computers and laser printers.
