ABSTRACT WE think that an elementary knowledge of auto matic telephony is almost a necessity to every well-educated young man. We therefore welcome the brief description in pamphlet form of

the processes involved in making a call on the automatic systems of the British Post Office. It forms an excellent supplement to the demonstrations given daily on the automatic telephone

equipment installed at the Science Museum by the Post Office. The various ways in which a call can be made are described and illustrated by four simple diagrams. It is possible with the aid

of the pamphlet to understand the main features of automatic telephony without going too deeply into technicalities and manufacturing ex pedients. The pamphlet (price 6d.) is published by

H.M. Stationery Office, and is useful for reference. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS
