Introduced
in 1937, this combined table handset telephone (with magneto
bell) was used in both C.B. &
Automatic exchange areas on
extension plans.
This telephone had a tray for the subscribers personal
directory but as from June 1940 the tray was not fitted and
instead the telephone was supplied with a Tray, Dummy, D62099 (a
blank plate). This was probably a war time cost saving, as
in late 1947 the tray was re-introduced.
There is provision in the case for three
keys/press buttons (Plungers). Different types of key unit can be fitted on the internal chassis
(see links below).
The button label is ordered separately.
The original telephone used a Coil, Induction
No. 22, but this was replaced by the Coil, Induction No. 27
later in life. The wiring never changed.
Available in the colours: Black, Jade green, Chinese red and Ivory.
Some were modified for scrambler use and
called the Telephone SA5030.
The Mark 1 - has a Receiver, Inset No. 1L in the handset and switch
bracket with plungers of the early type.
The
Mark 1A - has a Receiver, Inset No. 1L in the handset and switch
bracket with
plungers of an improved type.
The
Mark 2 - has a Receiver, Inset No. 2P in the handset and switch
bracket with plungers of the early type.
The
Mark 2A - has a Receiver, Inset No. 2P in the handset and
switch bracket with
