HANDSET No. 8
Handset used on the original Trimphones (Telephone No. 712).

Identical shape to the later Handset No. 10 but has the earpiece cover fixing screw on the top section of the handset.  The transmitter is also under this cover.

The early version of the Handset No. 8 had clips (see pictures below) instead of a fixing screw to hold the earpiece cover in place.
