  • My suggestion is appendix A of the second report of the committee appointed at the postal and telegraphic conference held at Hobart in 1892, where they are laying out some rules the safe operation for suppliers.


    The committee is all Australians and New Zealanders except Mr Jas O Callender of Callenders Telegraph Co Ltd* (London and Sydney), though quite a few of the presented papers are from further a field, including a translated German one.


    Interesting to see how much EMC was already an issue, with concerns expressed about leakage from electric trains and trams interfering with communications.


    oh yes, here

    Appendix A starts about half way through and the key page has no '11' at the top, but beware as in the whole document, which is a composite document of many papers, it is not the only page with that no.


    *(After a merger, Callenders Cables is the 'cc' in BICC, still associated with wiring accessories and making cable today)
