- Title:
- File 33/3 [16/2] Correspondence with the Wireless Station etc.
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains correspondence concerning the radio (referred to earlier in the file as the wireless) station, Bahrain. The station was initially run by the Indo-European Telegraph Department (a department of the Government of India), but from 1931 responsibility passed to a public company, Imperial and International Communications Limited (from 1934 known as Cable and Wireless Limited). The main correspondents are the Political Agent, Bahrain, and the Officer-in-Charge of the radio station. There is also some correspondence from the Government of Bahrain.
The papers cover issues such as: interruptions to wireless traffic; complaints about the service; the ownership of wireless sets by individuals; installation of telephone lines; maintenance of the telegraph system; the title deeds for the land on which the radio station was built; the provision of drinking water for employees at the station; recruitment of staff; notices and circulars; arrangements for Christmas and New Year greetings telegrams; and special arrangements caused by the Second World War (1939-45).
