>just  to clarify... single current  working is like  comes out of the back of HAL >st-5000  tu? Smoke is the only thing that comes out of the back of my Hal TU. Kidding. Single current is what Yanks would call Neutral, and double current would be called Polar. I'm still trying to figure out what the Motorcycle Messenger says to the Message Clerk at the end of the video. It sounds like he says "Wire Hound". Any guesses?

What a clever model of a Creed Model 7!. It shows the complicated way 
the bellcranks select the letters, but it's a pity it doesn't mention 
the start/ stop synchronisation.

It also implies single current working, but as far as I know the British 
Post Office always used double current polar working.

I hope BT Heritage will be uploading more of their historic films. They 
covered the telephone and postal service as well. I look forward to 
seeing more of them.
