MARKETING POLICY
KIRK is intended solely as an interim instrument to help overcome the current stock
shortages of LST No. 4E and LST No. 4MF which have been aggravated by manufacturing delays of

stores for LST No. 4E and LST SA 4265 from outstanding requisitions. On receipt of this
advice, S Divisions will offer a KIRK to these customers in lieu of the LST No. 4, if required
on a direct exchange line or direct PBX extension. If the offer is accepted by customer,
the AN can be issued.

requiring LST facilities should be offered an LST No. 4D, Doric or Harmony (after June 1981) to
fulfil their needs. New requests for MF LST's should not be met by KIRK. Under no
circumstances will KIRK be permitted on Service lines.
If the market reaction to KIRK is encouraging and the product trial successful every
effort will be made to purchase further quantities, UK produced, towards the end of 1981.

Push-button telephone 76E/DK80
The Kirk originated in Denmark in 1976 and because of it's unusual design has gained
international attention and recognition. This telephone was designed by the industrial designer
Jacob Jensen who also designed Bang & Olufsen's
famous radio and TV products.
In 1972 the Jutland Telephone Company Ltd. (Jydsk Telefon) began development
of this telephone. They did not base the development on earlier technologies or
models, as electronics was replacing former electromechanical
parts. An example of this is that the telephone bell has been replaced
by an electronic tone ringer whose sound is reproduced by a
loudspeaker. The loudspeaker is also used for handsfree conversation.
This telephone has been a big export product for Denmark and is manufactured under
licence in several countries.
Known in Europe as the Digitel 2000.
