GPO & NATIONAL TELEPHONE COMPANY
INSTRUMENTS, SUBSCRIBERS


When the GPO took over the NTC they inherited all their equipment.  The NT telephones were renamed as "Instruments, Subscriber, Wall/Table, N.T. No. X.  Many of these were made obsolescent relatively quickly but some were subsumed into the equivalent GPO telephone type.

This section is from the GPO Rate Book and the descriptions are split into Table and Wall models.
