Peel-Conner
Magneto Mining Telephone

THIS Telephone has been specially designed to comply with the latest regulations imposed by the Home Office, and is guaranteed to be "EXPLOSION PROOF".

Its construction combines the greatest mechanical strength with ease of access to all working parts, the latter being mounted in a minimum of space, which keeps down the total weight of the Telephone and also limits the area in which it is possible for gas to accumulate. The face of both lid and case has a special r-in. machined flange which gives an ample surface for effectively cooling any hot gases generated by an internal explosion ; all apparatus is carefully mounted and thoroughly insulated from the case or lid.
