Wiring Diagrams:
.
For those of you who are actually interested in Telephones (come
on, you must be, or you wouldn't have stayed here)
I have a few links....
The Telecommunications Heritage Group A very well presented site, with plenty of links to other similar (and dissimilar) pages.
UK Office of Telecommunications The people who make descisions (good and bad) on the direction of the telecom industry in
British Telecom The company that took over from the GPO in running the PSTN in the UK
Cable & Wireless The main rivals to BT (see above) ....The company is actually quite old, they used to run international telegraph lines for the GPO, before recently taking over a few telephone and cable TV companies and establishing themselves as a household name in the UK (They are also my ISP, available on a different URL.. www.cwcom.net )
For those of you who are inquisitive, or who should just get out more,
the background image for this page is an adaptation of the wiring diagram
of a 250A linesman's field telephone, the original(readable) version of
which is available here.
