Description: | This programme was issued to accompany the 'Official Opening of North Automatic Telephone Exchange by His Worship the Mayor of Islington'. The 'Order of Procedure' for the day was presided over by Mr W H U Napier, CBE, Controller of the London Telephone Service. Speeches by the superintending engineer and the mayor were given either side of a ceremony at 2.29pm that involved the transferral of subscribers' lines indicated by a 'glowing' green lamp.
The central pages show photographs of the switch room at the old exchange contrasted with the new automatic apparatus that made manual input from telephonists redundant. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Public services Home and Family | Temporal: | 1935 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
