The new central telegraph office, calcutta; and standard fitting and equipment of telegraph offices in india generally

For several years past the Indian Telegraph Department has been introducing standard fittings into offices, and the new Central Telegraph Office just opened in Wellesley Place, Calcutta, is fitted on standard plans. It is representative on a large scale of the fitting of all offices of any importance in the Department. On the ground floor of the new building there are three entrances, one on the west into the public counter hall, one on the north for the operating and general staff, and one on the south for offices and officers´ residences. At this entrance an electric lift gives access to all floors, besides which there is a staircase of reinforced concrete.
