| TELEPHONE - TABLE MAGNETO TELEPHONE FOR TERMINAL STATIONS
No. 370 Weight 12.10 lbs. Price £4 1 0s. Designed in 1884 by Lars Magnus Ericsson. In 1890 this telephone was fitted with a handset and called the No. 375. Renumbered as the AC 100 around 1905 Introduced in 1885
Designed by Lars Magnus Ericsson this telephone started production in 1885 and was the forerunner to the skeletal telephone 375. The adjustable swivel arm (swing arm) allowed the user to position the telephone's transmitter in a convenient position for conversing. The telephone was used by the Australian N.S.W. State Administration in the 1880's and not many are known to exist in Australia. However, a few still survive in the United States and the United Kingdom, most in private collections. The primary difference between the two telephones, is that the skeletal (c.1892) employs a handset, whereas the swing arm uses separate components for the transmitter and receiver. The telephone shown to the right has two receivers.
