TELEPHONE No. 192


Bakelite cased table telephone instrument intended for use with Repeater, Telephonic No. 9A (another battery operated box with a valve in it!) for the hard of hearing in CB/Auto areas.  Power to the repeater was connected when the handset was lifted but nothing would be heard until the valves had warmed up, which usually took several seconds.

Similar to the Telephone No. 162 the differences being the handset, which was a a Telephone No. 184 and an additional contact set (make) on the switchooks.

Terminal nuts are 4BA (Part No. 1/SNU/51).

The frame that supports the switch hooks, also has terminals and contact springs attached.  The contact springs came with either one contact or two contacts per spring. This telephone could use either - the parts numbers are as follows:-
Frame - Part No. 1/SSW/4 - one contact per spring (Springset Part No. 1/SSP/708).
Frame - Part No. 2/SSW/4 - two contacts per spring (Springset Part No. 1/SSP/711).

This telephone was superseded in 1934 by Telephone No. 226, used with Repeater, Telephonic No. 17A.

Early table telephones were connected to the internal wiring with a Strip, Flexible Cord Connection.  Click here for more information.
