The
company
Autophone
was the manufacturing arm of the British Home and Office Telephone Company,
having a factory in Wimbledon. Before and just after the war they imported
phones from T&N in Germany, but later they made (or at least assembled) a
strange near look-a-like of the BPO Tele. 332. There is also a wall version of
this telephone, with a steel case and a handset hanging down by the left.
Autophone of Wimbledon, south
London in the 1950's were an OEM company that sold only to their sister company British Home & Office
Telephone Company (BHOTCo), Birmingham Telephone Company (BTC), Dictograph
Telephones Ltd, Shipton and no doubt to others as well.
