Remarkably fresh copy of an early catalogue from the Swedish telephone company that later developed Bluetooth. In 1876, Lars Magnus Ericsson founded a workshop to manufacture telephone equipment; in 1883, the firm began to collaborate with Henrik Tore Cedergren and grew into the Ericsson corporation, now a giant in the telecommunications industry. Inventors at Ericsson developed Bluetooth in the 1990s. This sales catalogue describes the company's early twentieth-century offerings—public and home telephone sets, switchboards, fuses, telegraph systems—in three languages. Uncommon, with only 3 copies recorded in OCLC. (Inventory #: 56833)
