I was working for The GPO as a Telephone Engineer and in my early days 1970 ish went out to these companies and many more to fix their Switch Boards, Lines and associated equipment. ,, after that I moved into The Exchange where I worked as a maintenance Engineer working on Telephone Equipment, Diesel Generators, Batteries, Rectifiers, Compressors , Cable pressurisation systems, Lighting. Post Office Telephones (GPO) became British Post Office then British Telecom (Privatisation) I also worked for Mercury Comms. Cable and Wireless and finally Nortel Networks. I also had my own shop in E.D. Uplands Road. and was a Temporary driver for Dial-A-Ride. Hope that answers your question. :) Foxy
