TELEPHONE No. 396 | |||||||
This telephone had a tray for the subscribers personal directory but as from June 1940 the tray was not fitted and instead the telephone was supplied with a Tray, Dummy, D62099 (a blank plate). This was probably a war time cost saving, as in late 1947 the tray was re-introduced. Available in the colours - Jade green, Chinese red, Black and Ivory. This phone shown in the picture would have been connected to a scrambler unit and the handset has been changed to a green variant to identify that the phone could be switched to scramble the speech. Mark 1 - has a Receiver, Inset No. 1L in the handset and switch
bracket with plungers of the early type. Supplied to the BPO by Ericsson, their Model N8440. Pictures courtesy of Ian Nichol. Circuit diagram - N496. Diagram for Button labels - N620.
