Re: GPO Wall telephones - how was the line cord installed before plug and socket ?
Here in Norway the telephone man came and fixed the cable on the wall in your house where and how he found it OK. If that was not OK for you, you did not get a phone line .
The oldest was a twisted wire on porcelain insulators, later plastic cable on the wall.
From 1970-ish it was pretty often laid in the wall to one single outlet in the apartment, and that is where you got it.
After deregulation in the 1980-ies you were allowed to put up your own wires inside the house.
