I should add that Ralph Meyers also discusses it in his book, Old Time Telephones.

There is quite a bit of documentation for it in the TCI Library.

Those are two of the scanned documents in the TCI Library regarding these sets. In addition to the scans, an annotated photo of the network is in the TCI Photo pages showing the locations of the terminals.

For some reason Northern often did not correctly label to terminals in the diagram on the sides of the networks. As I recall, in an earlier photo of Bob's network one of the terminals is not correctly shown in the layout.

Especially impressive as the mag date matches the phone.  Well done!

That was totally accidental, Paul - a very pleasant surprise! But, thanks anyhow!

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about here, G-Man. I checked the network both physically and electrically during the re-furb, and to my knowledge, all terminals are marked correctly. If you see something amiss, please specify, because I don't see it.

Thanks,

Bob
