§ 70. Captain CAZALETasked the Post master-General whether the Post Office is installing one-piece ear-and-mouth telephone instruments to replace the pre sent two-piece instruments; and whether it is possible for subscribers who have the old instruments to exchange them for the new ones?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Viant)A new hand combination telephone instrument is being introduced as an alternative to the present candlestick pattern and supplies are expected about the end of the year. The new pattern will be more costly to pro vide and maintain than the old instrument and subscribers who desire to have it installed will accordingly be asked to pay an additional charge of 4s. a quarter.
