TELEPHONE No. 13

This is a wooden, wall mounted, telephone with fixed Transmitter, Induction Coil, Generator and a 1000ohm magneto bell.

Previously known as the "Telephone, Wall, Intermediate with Magneto Bell and Generator" it was renamed as the Telephone No. 13 circa 1911.

Used on Magneto and C.B.S. Systems as an intermediate telephone.

A coin collecting box can also be connected directly to the telephone.

Similar to the Telephone No. 3, but the Telephone No. 13 has a generator and five extra terminals fitted and wiring re-arranged and is suitable for Intermediate working, and is capable of performing the same functions as a Telephone with Granular Transmitter, "C," with the advantage of having a Generator, Magneto Bell, and accommodation for a Speaking Battery within the case. .

Two batteries are fitted in the base of the telephone and these are called "Cells, Leclanché, 2 block, Agglomerate, complete".

This telephone can perform the same function as the Telephone No. 21 but has advantage of having the generator and bell incorporated.

An additional receiver can be fitted on the right hand side of the telephone, for which terminals are provided.

There was a Type 1 and a Type 2 but no information is available as to the differences, but it may be that the earlier instrument used an Ericsson transmitter and Receiver, Bell A, whilst the later type used the Transmitter No. 2 and a Receiver, Bell No. 1.

Found in the 1906, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1915 Rate Books.
