3 1 8 Telephone Systems of the Continent of Europe 



The International Bell Company employs American apparatus 

 exclusively, and their subscriber's set is identical with that 

 rendered familiar by the National Telephone Company in this 

 country, the transmitter used being generally the Blake. On 

 the other hand, the Government and the other concessionaries fit 

 up almost exclusively the instruments of Messrs. Ericsson & Co., 



of Stockholm (see Swedish section, p. 358), supplied through 

 Mr. Charles Bell of Glasgow, who is Messrs. Ericsson's agent for 

 Russia as well as for the United Kingdom. Mr. Bell has also 

 furnished a large number of Ericsson switch-boards for use in the 

 various switch-rooms, comprising one multiple of 600 lines for 

 Kieff.
