No's 40028 and 40203
This flush type set has been specially designed for installation in buildings under construction, and entirely eliminates the necessity of the defacement of schemes of decoration by unsightly exposed wiring.

The back part of the set serves the purpose of a distributing box which is sunk in the wall, and into which the wires are led.

When decoration of the walls is finished, the front part of the set containing the apparatus is simply screwed in place, the case projecting only one inch from the wall, making a very neat job.

Framework of punched metal, black matt rubber enamelled, with nickel-plated fittings.

Equipped with Solid-back Transmitter, "Bell" Receiver, Switch-hook and Battery Bell.

No. 40028 - 12 Stations.
No. 40203 - 24 Stations.

Dimensions:-
No. 40028 - 10" x 6.5" x 6".
No. 40203 - 14.5" x 6.5" x 6".
