#89983 - ... but this is before my time! Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I have a 24-page booklet issued to London telephone subscribers on the introduction of automatic (Strowger) exchanges.
It is undated but, judging from the illustrations, looks to be from about the 1920's? I particularly like the bit where they announce the latest innovation - subscribers will get a new-fangled device called a "dial" on their telephone sets! Scanned images here: http://www.antronics.co.uk/history/L.../index.htm (Warning to dialup users: the images are quite large). |
