On the internet I've no idea, but try the Mitchell Library for a non-online source of information. Ask the staff, they're usually quite helpful.

Hi, I would be inclined to look at the Post Office directories held in the Mitchell. I would then contact some of the sites dedicated to all things arcane electrical e.g. 405 Alive(early television)and enquire what trade magazines existed at the time and try and source them or at the very least get someone with these mags to check them out. These mags do exist and they are a wealth of information.
