SPECIAL RANGE TELEPHONE - PLESSEY MICKEY MOUSE

INTRODUCTION
This THQ Circular announces the introduction of the Mickey Mouse Special Range telephone. It will be manufactured, under licence from Walt Disney and supplied to the Post Office by Plessey Telecommunications Ltd. For PO purposes the telephone will be known as the Plessey Mickey Mouse telephone, a name which will be used on all advertising material, advice notes etc and in all contacts with customers. The PO code for engineering purposes will be Tele SR1001.

There will be a phased introduction starting with the LTR in June, 1978 and leading to national availability before the end of the year.

DESCRIPTION
The Plessey Mickey Mouse telephone is made of plastic and stands 420mm high from the bottom of the brown base. It can be provided on DEL's Shared Service, plan 1A and plan 4 and switchboard extensions.

TARIFF AND INSURANCE VALUE
The tariff and insurance value for the Plessey Mickey Mouse are:

Rental £3, Per quarter

Single Payment Charge £45. This is unabatable.

These charges are additional to the connection and rental charges for exchange lines and extensions with which the Plessey Mickey Mouse telephone is associated. A change of instrument charge should also be raised where applicable.

As with other charges these charges attract VAT at the standard rate.

The contract number which will be quoted on all orders related to the Plessey Mickey Mouse telephone is 577207.

PURCHASING LIMITS
Authority will be given by THQ to Areas, as availability of the telephone is extended to exceed the A1035 local order for the purchase of Special Range telephones. The cost of a new Plessey Mickey Mouse telephone from Plessey will be £54.64.

Notes:
The handset looks like a Handset No. 16 but is in fact slightly smaller. A Handset No. 16 cannot be substituted for the original as it is too big and will not be held by Mickey's hand.

The ringer is a tone ringer that is the same as the one fitted to the Trimphone (Telephone No. 722).

The large white button to the left of the dial is a recall button used for transferring calls on telephone systems.
