A GPO 741 dialphone was a wall mounted version of other dialphones from the General Post Office such as the 746, infact the 741's internals were based on the 746 with the chief difference being the handset cradle. Of course this has to go on top!
Dialing the 741 is very similar too though you are facing the dial instead of looking down.
Of course, the Brother Deluxe 1350 was the first typewriter in my collection, but i do have another Brother (typewriter that is!)
My Brother Deluxe 800 is not quite as aesthetically pleasing as the 1350 but is another very good typewriter. It works very well, except for the bell though warning you you are nearing the end of the line. This doesn't sound but otherwise there isn't anything wrong with the 800 which is a good solid feature rich portable typewriter.
I have bought carbon paper before but one of my recent typewriter purchases came with a pack of carbon sheets, British made for typewriting and cost 99 new pence. Which seems a lot to be honest relatively?
It is 1976 and you are an executive in a top international business, but you need one of those new fangled pocket calculation machines. Well Accuron have the machine for you, it's even called the Executive! It has the four basic mathematical functions plus percentages (important for executives no doubt) and a memory. Numbers are displayed using LEDs. Unfortunately my Accuron Executive does not seem to work anymore though i'm not an executive anyway so no harm done!
Time for a new arrival, this month it is another telephone from the General Post Office. This is a GPO 741 dialphone, which is intended to be mounted on the wall (indeed due to where the handset rests it can't really be used any other way!
