Description
Instructions for the Government of Telegraphers July 1907. This company instruction booklet describes the working conditions of telegraphers. Included are their rates of pay by work catagory, shift day or night and location. The 3 shift work day was apparently still somewhere in the future. Although it doesn't say I suspect these operators worked a 6 day week. /DL
