-
This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 07 April 1961 "The manual switchboard at the Palmerston North Chief Post Office is seen here in operation. With the cut-over to the new exchange, it will be replaced with a maze of wires... The new exchange will be kept at a constant temperature by a large heating plant, which will prevent moisture condensing on the wires."
