Dial
Rotary phone circle
A dial is a face with markings for measurement or selection—the dial of a clock, a radio dial, a combination dial on a safe.
To dial is to operate such a device, especially to enter a phone number: I dialed the wrong number.
The word persists even though rotary phones have vanished: Dial 911.
A dial is also a person's face in British slang.
