Description: | The manufacturers of the Automatic Telephone issued this card model of a telephone dial to promote the use of telephones in the home. As the dial is turned a series of pictures appear at the top relating to the labelled finger hole directly below. The back of the card shows users which direction to turn the dial and how to operate the receiver when making a call.
Critics of the GPO in the 1920s had complained that it was not promoting telephone use in a commercial way, but by the end of the decade, through advertising like this, it started to take publicity more seriously. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Leisure | Temporal: | 1925-1930 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
