Autophone

Autophone was the manufacturing arm of the British Home and Office Telephone Company, having a factory in Wimbledon. Before and just after the war they imported phones from T&N in Germany, but later they made (or at least assembled) a strange near look-a-like of the BPO Tele. 332. There is also a wall version of this telephone, with a steel case and a handset hanging down by the left.

Autophone of Wimbledon, south London in the 1950's were an OEM company that sold only to their sister company British Home & Office Telephone Company (BHOTCo), Birmingham Telephone Company (BTC), Dictograph Telephones Ltd, Shipton and no doubt to others as well.
