Telegram Address Explanation: http://s18.postimg.org/6mli4ud3d/Capture.png the first symbol is a telephone landline the second symbol is most likely a teleprinter, so it should be followed by a TELEX address TELEX transmissions are slow but reliable over very poor quality lines, and in the '90s a TELEX was a must have for any company to be taken seriously https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telex (widely used at the time for long-distance communication) A fax machine looks similar, but it would be a far too advanced technology for that time and place the last symbol is a telegraph pole, holding wires used for transmitting telegrams from post office to post office (the term "wire" meaning news is today's relic of this technology - news used to be transmitted using telegrams) about the format of telegram addresses: Telegram Address Telegram Address the address designated on a telegram dispatched over a general public telegraph network. A telegram address contains the name of the destination point, the number of the communications agency, the postal address where the telegram is to be delivered, and the correct name of the addressee in full. A telegram address may be a coded address assigned to the addressee and registered by a communications agency. A coded address consists of one easy-to-read word of no more than ten letters and a reference to the number of the city communications agency responsible for delivery. For example, instead of the full address and company name Minsk 125 ulitsa Karla Marksa 95 Metalloobrabatyvaiushchii zavod mestproma (Minsk 125, Karl Marx Street no. 95, Local Industry Metalworking Plant), the coded address Minsk 125 Metall may be registered. Coded addresses composed of proper names, such as the names of cities, workers’ settlements, railroad stations, or rivers, are not permitted. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2016-03-30 08:23:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- in brief: you can phone the company if you have your own TELEX machine and connection you can send them directly a TELEX you can go at a post office and send them a telegram -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2016-03-30 08:28:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Telegram Address |
