Faraday -
International Maintenance Controls
|
 |
The London International Maintenance
Centre (IMC) was established in the late 1950s to
co-ordinate the testing and repair of all international
circuits.
The IMC/C initially dealt with Continental circuits and the
later IMC/A dealt mainly with Atlantic links.
"During the period that I was in TAT Test, the equipment and
staff moved up to the North Block of Faraday Building, next
to the Continental Centre (IMC/C), with the Transatlantic
Test being now known as IMC/A."

The Faraday Experience
John Burt tells us about his work for the GPO between the
years of 1942 to 1966, which included a lot of time in
Faraday Building.
My first posting to Faraday was Christmas 1942, when I spent
three months as a Y2YC on construction duties, mainly
installing a PBX for the Repeater Stations speaker circuits.
