A sign of earlier times. This organisation banned smoking after 4pm to ensure that all butts were extinguished by 5pm when the employees went home. This was to prevent fire in the workplace. Health was not a consideration. Also, read the notes.

Who ya gonna call. A trafelite label. Excess to requirements.

An order wire is a communication system for technicians which is available at many locations along a transmission route. It is similar to a party line telephone. This enables techs to co-ordinate maintenance and fault-finding. See note.

Here is the cable, now where do we dig to find the fault. P.M.G. = Post Master General's Department, a part of the Australian Commonwealth Government which operated the Telecommunications and Postal services prior to mid 1975.

Equipment label, used to identify test gear for demonstrating that new telecommunication cables between telephone exchanges work correctly. Also used in complex fault finding. Work I did in the 70s.

Once upon a time a long time ago one could drive to the top of Mt Kosciusko to post one's letters. These days you can't drive there, can't post letters there or even spell it correctly. It seems some PC public servant thinks it should be spelt Mount Kosciuszko. January 1967.

Hard to return now. The address of the radio comms installation depot of my former employer, PMG/Telecom Australia. The old single story brick and corrugated asbestos sheet roofed factory/warehouse building is gone, see note.
