History
of the Telstra Research Laboratories
|
|
Australian and Overseas Publications
Laboratories staff regularly contributed articles to Australian and overseas professional and technical journals as well as presenting papers to learned societies. They also contributed as editors for many journals. Some publications contain references to the Research Laboratories in articles, investigations and equipment designed and built by the Laboratories. Search for “Research” or “Laboratories” in the files.
Other publications include Technical Training, Instruction, Policy, and Information Documents produced by the Postmaster Generals Department (PMG), Australian Post Office (APO) and Telecom Australia.
Miscellaneous and overseas publications.
Most publications referenced below have been scanned using sophisticated optical character recognition (OCR) software and saved as Adobe Acrobat PDF searchable image files. The following OCR limitations and other issues apply:
· Most text has been faithfully recognised, is searchable and can be selected and copied.
· Tables are recognised by the OCR software but not reproduced as tables in the PDF file.
· On rare occasions, columns are not recognised so text flows directly across the page. However, whenever this is observed during scanning, it is manually fixed.
· Hyphenated words have a space inserted at the hyphenation point.
· Images are well recognised but not de-screened. They can be extracted with a suitable PDF reader (e.g. IrfanView).
· Equations are recognised as part image and part text.
· Blank pages have been removed. In some instances, this will create skips in page numbering.
· Due to ageing, the paper on some early edition pages has developed a brown tinge on the edges or over the whole page and this is reproduced on the digital copy.
File sizes vary from 5 Mbytes to 26 Mbytes.
Thanks to those who supplied some scanned files and publications to be scanned.
The Telecommunications Journal of Australia
1935 (first edition) to 1987
First produced by The Postal Electrical Society of Victoria. Later known as
The Telecommunication Society of Australia. Copyright is acknowledged.

Engineering and Technical Training,
Instruction, Policy, Information Documents and Books.
Produced by the Postmaster Generals Department (PMG), Australian Post
Office (APO) and Telecom Australia.
The documents are listed in chronological order of the issue date if known.
Many have been reissued and the original date of publication is unknown.
These documents usually had a document number. If one existed, it is prepended
to the listed document name for quick reference. Two letters at the listed name
end denote who I obtained the document from. No letters mean I do not know or
cannot remember. Downloaded files don’t have the document number or the two
letters at the end.
Thanks to Alan Hampel, Simon Moorhead and Steve Beyer and others for various
documents.
The “ETP 0075 Electric Circuits. 1970” document has “Telecom Australia” and the
“golf clubs” logo on the front page. However, Telecom Australia did not come
into existence until 1975 so that is a mystery.
