Originally it was planned to give a very brief description of the phone systems but a large amount of long forgotten material has since been found so before it is lost again it has been added and the site has grown considerably.

 

There are now over 200 photograhs included, some of dubious quality.

 

Details of the railway Strowger system can be found at the UAX12, PABXs, line extension and linked number scheme sections.

 

Norstar gives details of subsequent changes.
