GPO 'Cheesedraw' card inserts
Hi all, apologies if this has already been posted, I've been hunting the web to try and find a replacement card insert for a 332 cheese drawer.
I've found the exchange numbers card on the image below, but I can't seem to find anywhere the card where you can write down the numbers, not even a photograph so I can mock one up myself. There is a seller on ebay selling both the exchange and the card that sits under the spring, but not my exchange (Birmingham) - it's also a bit pricy. Does anyone have a scan (or even a Photograph I can use to mock one up) of the second card that sits under the plastic case? |

Hopefully you'll get the uploaded attachments of an assortment of dialling-code cards.
Best wishes Pete |

Re: GPO 'Cheesedraw' card inserts
Hi Pete, many thanks for posting the dialling cards, much appreciated! Reading back my post, I didn't explain myself very well. Sorry!!
I already have the cards you have posted - it's the one where you can write your own numbers on the card that I'm trying to get hold of - like the one sat in the drawer here. |

Re: GPO 'Cheesedraw' card inserts
I have to say that I've never seen those.
Were they actually issued by the GPO? Or were they for use on private systems, I wonder? Nick. |

I've never seen them on BT intruments either. Am I mistaken or is that a photo of a red 164 series? doesn't look like any 332 I've seen.

I'm sure that's a 1xx or 2xx phone too; The OP has no doubt used a pic found online to illustrate what he's looking for.

Re: GPO 'Cheesedraw' card inserts
Hi all, it is a red 164 in the image, I had just used it to illustrate the telephone number card in its drawer.
Looking at it further, the particular image I used is a seller on eBay selling the cheese drawer cards... And the card in the drawer is simply a 'Complimentary card for your telephone numbers'. Thank you all for confirming it is non standard! I shall just use the Birmingham exchange card I already have in the plastic wallet and no more. |

Was this on the drawer on 232/332 phones under the phone, where there was a place to record oft called numbers.

Yes, that may be the one!
