indicator „ochi de pisică/păpușă”
Explanation:
"The odd round thing to the left of the dial is a "cat's eye" or "doll's eye" indicator. The way it works is, when current passes through it, the electromagnet rotates a disc behind the visible cut-outs, to show a contrasting color (typically white) to show that the CO line is in use. Thus there is no line-in-use lamp that would eventually need to be replaced. (These indicators were common on European multi-line phones for decades, there are many versions.)"
