3. A very thin circular sheet of copper designed to be placed under the rotary dial of a telephone, on which marks are recorded corresponding to the numbers dialled. Now historical.The marks were made by a tiny sharp point set on the underside of the dial as it was depressed into the copper sheet in response to the pressure of the caller's fingers while dialling. The device was used for surveillance purposes.
