The Bakelite base of the 162 

Bakelite base

The Science Museum has an early example of a “Neophone” from the first batch of 200 produced. I was very fortunate in being able to photograph it in great detail including the inside. It consisted of all the details mentioned previously in the prototype with the exception of the body which has been changed to bakelite and modified as described. My thanks to John Liffen, Associate Curator for all his kind help and patience.
