These pages tell you a bit about my interest in (mainly) old telephones and the system that supported them.

Before the days of electronics as we know them now a system of magnets, contacts and assorted bits of hardware produced an efficient communication system. With the rapid growth in new technology much of this history has been assigned to the skip. Fortunately there is a small band of enthusiasts who are keeping our telecommunications history alive. Many worked in the industry and are able to pass on first hand knowledge. I was never involved in the industry, but have always been interested in the technology and the interesting artifacts it produced.

These pages show some of the items I have collected and other telecoms related projects.

At the end of this page is a list of links to many useful telephone sites.
