If you're interested in this sort of thing (and who wouldn't be?!)

The whole notebook full of late 1950s UK telephone routing codes is online as a pdf here: https://paulseward.com/downloads/Telephony_Phreaking_Archive/TLA-FDY-TKZ.pdf

An OCR version will follow at some point in the handwavy future when I get around to it (if I don't forget).

Christmas at Haywards Heath Telephone exchange 1953

Lots of paper garlands and decorations adorning the CB10 switchboard here, but if you look closely there are paper santas/elves hanging from the cable turning sections where the positions wrap around the corners of the room.

Thanks to Stefan on the "UK Switchboards" facebook group for finding it.

I'm in the process of moving a small #strowger #TelephoneExchange demonstration rack on to its next home.

Before I say goodbye to it, I thought I'd video a short tour...

Newsreel coverage of the British Post Office launching their "mobile telephone exchange" in 1939

This was a complete #strowger #TelephoneExchange built into a trailer.

It was designed to provide service if the existing exchange suffered damage (fire, storm, gas explosion etc) or as a temporary measure while an exchange was upgraded or extended.
