RAILWAY TYPE

The battery ringing type of telephone is preferred by most railway companies for use in signal cabins, etc. The instruments illustrated have therefore been specially arranged for railway use and are simple, neat, efficient and durable for such service.

The instrument, handset and terminal block cases are made of moulded Bakelite and the interior apparatus, such as spring sets, battery bell or buzzer, condenser, induction coil and relay if required, are mounted on a base plate which is readily removable as a unit.

The N1104 instrument has a transmitter switch in the handset handle, and two press buttons, one for ordinary ringing and the other for special selective ringing.

The N1108 is also equipped with two non-locking press buttons, one to call the exchange and the other for code ringing, and the transmitter switch is operated by the replacement of the handset on the cradle.

The keys are labelled:- CALL EXCHANGE - CODE RINGING.

Overall dimensions 9.25 x 8 x 6 inches.
Weight 6.25 lb.

The telephone N1108 is fitted with a 3000ohm relay whilst the N1108A has a 5000ohm relay.  Both have a battery bell and 8-way terminal block.

Introduced around 1939 and available in Black only.
