The British Post Office (BPO) purchased telephones and other apparatus from various
manufacturers. On a lot of equipment the manufacturer can be identified by the use of a
manufacturers code. Where a PO
factory code is shown means that the equipment has been made or refurbished by
one of the BPO factories. Quite often these codes are on labels stuck over the
top of the original manufacturer’s code.
It is clear that the original
single-letter and later double-letter codes were allocated with fairly little
regard to any logical meaning. Once all codes were expanded to at least three
letters greater care was taken to make meaningful combinations. Existing
two-letter codes were expanded by suffixing 'A' to the original code. The list
also includes some non-BPO codes commonly found on telephones (AP, YA and Z).
Thanks to many articles from the THG, especially the lists compiled by Graham Wooten,
Andy Emerson, BT
museum and John Ferris.
