Aye,Even Hurricane lamps in the Winter of Discontent! And a Fax machine in the baenesmt of EW Payne's Sackville House! This resembled an Edison cylinder phonograph. It was operated by lab-coated senior gentlemen who affixed your document to an horizontally rotating cylinder. Once connection had been magically established (I think this required a phone call to the recipient's lab-coated senior gentleman) the cylinder was set spinning at an impressive rate of knots and little thingamybob slowly tracked from top to bottom of the spinning document. In about 30 minutes, an A4 page of document (or was it Foolscap, velum of even papyrus?) had been transmitted or so you thought! Then the recipient's lab-coated senior gentleman phoned through to say only the first five-minutes' worth had been received. Then you politely declined your lab-coated senior gentleman's invitation to watch a second transmission attempt, pleading a delicate constitution that you couldn't risk over-loading with any further excitement that day!
