WR Bristol control circuit no. 8.
No information is to hand about this circuit, although it may have used similar equipment to the one shown above. If you know, please send me an e-mail.
LMR Auto Rescall circuits.
The LMR employed a number of these circuits, which used equipment made by Plessey Controls Ltd.
