Ok. re the mid 1980's telephones: (1) If someone phones someone else and the person on the receiving end does not answer, how long would the ringing last before it would be cut off by the system? Would it ring for as long as the person held the phone. Or was there a cut off point?
(2) If there was a telephone conversation going on and one of the parties hung up, could a telephone engineer tell which party hung up first?

I hope my questions are clear enough to be understood?
