all-figure telephone numbers - leaflet issued by the GPO, 1967 : designed by Banks & Miles?
Another in the series of leaflets issued by the GPO (General Post Office) who at the time were the Government agency responsible of the operation of the British telecommunications system. This version is intended for subscribers whose numbers were not yet to be changed, in other words, all subscribers outwith the cities of London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester.
It describes how, as part of the eventual roll out of STD - Subscriber Trunk Dialling - the numbers in the above cities would change from Exchange name and number to an all-number sequence. As part of the changeover at this time a special code was required to dial into London 01- numbers and for the other five cities the operator still had to connect your call.
I'm syre that this, like others in the series, was designed by Colin Banks and John Miles, well-known designers and typographers.
