Indian Telephone Industries (ITI) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ITI is another imprint found on 300 type telephones; it stands for Indian Telephone Industries, a company established in 1948 with help from ATE. Tooling for the Telephone No. 332 was exported to India and is/was used to produce these telephones (the mouldings look rather rough now). All the components are fixed to the base plate. There are two air vents in the base and the feet are press fit. The terminal strip is not numbered as expected - it is numbered in a circular manner, starting lower right and anti-clockwise. Typical base markings for an Indian example are:- DJL 11044-A8. Manufactured by Indian Telephone Industries. Bangalore B 71/1 INDIA. The Handset will most probably have ITI stamped centrally on the handle. The picture below gives a good indication of the colour range available:- Top row - Mushroom,
Peach, Powder Pink, Ivory. The ITI dial is based on the ATM No. 24C dial and therefore the finger stop will always be some distance from the digit 0.
