AUTOMATIC TELEPHONES.
SUPPLIES NOW AVAILABLE
WELLINGTON, April 22
Since the war ceased material for automatic telephones has been coming in with a greater degree of reliability and it is hoped within a brief period to have the whole of the material for the Masterton exchange and the
two Wellington branch exchanges— Courtenay Place and Newtown. This will relieve the telephone situation to a great extent. Some ,of the material is being manufacturd in Great. Britain and some in America, and it is hoped that before long the manufacture of certain portions in Antwerp will be recommenced.
It is interesting to recall that as .soon as war began Belgium hurriedly packed up her telephonic manufacturing machinery and sent it to England. There it was reassembled in part, and the manufacture was partially resumed, only to be again interrupted by the demand for munitions. Some of the machinery was sent to America, and work was carried on there, but ceased when America joined in the war
