I’ve just bought a second hand book* published in May 1955.

I did not expect to get a handwritten note from the person responsible for its publication!

* “compendium of the technical recommendations issued by CCIP, CCIT, CCIR of the international telecommunications union”

Basically the standard that describes how the post-war telecoms networks operated at an international level

Are you really really REALLY bored and want 500ish pages listing all the parts/cable/equipment that was available for a BT engineer to order through the British Telecom Stores department in 1996?

Then my friend, I have you covered:

Just sorted out a light-touch refurb on this GPO Tele 745 weatherproof #phone

The handset is a bit faded, scratched and tatty, but it’s had a good clean and a new cord, so it’s perfectly serviceable for #emf2024 and suitable @cutel mischief.

I bought this with the intention of installing it in the garden, it really needs a strip down and repaint… but I can get to all that after #emf 😀
