Ericsson Wallphones

Ericsson N1070
A British manufactured phone based on the original Ericsson 1931 wallphone variant of its bakelite desk telephone. It was never used by the Post Office but saw extensive use on the London Transport network.

A later variant of the Ericsson wallphone but clearly showing similarities to the shape of the 300 type telephone. The PO did latterly use it as Tele 311, with a button for shared service, in effect the wall version of the Tele 312.
Tele 321
A later Ericsson wallphone was introduced in 1955 and its styling is reminiscent of the 1000 type telephone. This variant, the Tele 321 would have had a shared service button, but it has here been disconnected.

As mentioned above, the Post Office managed to meet most of its wallphone needs from the Tele 221, a converted Tele 121. However, as with GEC and Siemens Brothers, Ericsson Telephones produced their own designs of wallphones. If Siemens Brothers’ No 367 is the wall version of the 200 type Neophone, then the first two models shown here can be considered as wall versions of the 300 type, with the same sharp edges to the moulding. The third example has softer edges and is similar to the styling of the 1000 type telephone, which as a desk telephone was never used by the Post Office.
