...number where the owner will be, and incoming calls are transferred there. Lawyer Melvin Belli has one, switches early-morning calls to the hamburger stand where he breakfasts. And since the call is transferred without the caller's being any the wiser, the device should be a boon to wayward husbands or junior executives who have slipped out for a quick pick...
