The KTAS shop...

 

The first Danish telephone station for audience-calls was opened i Copenhagen on

January 15th, 1881. It serviced 22 subscribers. Many places in the province opened

small private phone stations. In 1884 Copenhagen Telephone Limited ( Københavns

Telefon Aktieselskab) was established and two years later KTAS had led cables

through to the 16 larger towns on Zealand and taken over the private phone stations.

In the rural areas and the provincial towns electrical pylons on one side of

the road and telephone pylons on the other side were seen everywhere after the

First World War. Also in the Co-operative Village Nyvang. A country exchange is

installed in Trønnninge Co-operative Society. C is a KTAS cable house. This type of

cable house was established with approximately one and a half kilometres interval

along the country roads between the towns in order to srengthen the out of the town

calls. From the telephone centre in Trønningen Co-operative Society buried cables

are running to the little cable closet model 1939.

At the village hall is an example of the most common green phone booth, where

people in the inter-war period could speak locally as long as they wanted for 10 øre

(1/10 oj DDK1)

In the cowshed there is a permanent exhibition of phones and facilities from the

KTAS period.
