This is the standard British Post Office Telephone Set. It is a self-contained microtelephone set with ringer housed in the case. Supplied complete with cords and moulded terminal block.
The microtelephone incorporates the high quality receiver giving a gain of intelligibility equivalent to about 5db.
The set is constructed of moulded bakelite and the standard colour is black.
An anti-side tone circuit is used so that extraneous noises in the vicinity of the listener cause minimum interference with the reception of speech.
Unless otherwise ordered Dial No. 4002-AG, showing numbers only on the number plate, will be supplied with these sets. Number plates with any other type of marking can be supplied if a sample or drawing is submitted.
The No. 4509-A set is similar but the dial is replaced by an apparatus blank. fitted at a later date if required.
