>1. Why were Autovan phones designed for four wire connections?

autovOn.... AUTOmatic VOice Network 

They were 4-wire to allegedly offer far better transmission &
conferencing than possible with lots of hybrids at far ends
of the earth. This in an era well before exotic DSP-based
cancellers/conference systems were dreamed of.

They also were thinking of connection to half duplex radio
links, etc.

All good in theory, but friends who used same said the levels
were so low, you could barely hear.

It got messy when a phone was both 2 & 4 wire, depending on
what line you used. [SecDef/Oval Office Call Directors, etc.]
