SIEMENS BROTHERS No's Q2850 to Q2861


MICRO-TELEPHONES, HAND


These hand micro-telephones are fitted with a flexible cord and are suitable for use on local or central battery systems.  Those listed are fitted with an interchangeable capsule transmitter for local battery working; if they are required for central battery working, this should he stated when ordering.

These instruments possess the unique feature that all connections with the flexible cord terminate in the transmitter case, thus avoiding the necessity for threading the cord through the stem.  This greatly reduces the cost of maintenance. For this reason the instrument has been standardized by the British Post Office and by a number of Colonial and Foreign administrations.
