The
“Telecommunications” section presents the most important
moments in the development of telegraphy, telephony, radio and television.
The
collections of devices, accessories and installations in the field
of electric communications were initiated in 1958, together with the
acquisition of three “Rubin A” TV sets (made in the former
Soviet Union) and of a “Philips” radio-receiver, type
2511, with direct amplification (made in the Netherlands, 1929), with
an exterior loudspeaker. In 1959, radio-receivers “Rodica”
and “Orion” were transferred from the Radio Center of
Bucharest, while radio-receivers “Standard”, type 3x,
“Philips” type 2511 and loudspeaker “Philips”
type 2116 were brought from the Polytechnical Institute of Iasi. The
same year, telephones, telegraphs, telephonic stations, teleprinters,
relays and other devices were transferred from the Romanian Post,
Telephony and Telegraphy Offices of Cluj and Iasi and “Grigore
Preoteasa” Enterprise of Bucharest. These devices formed the
core of the future collections of telegraphy, telephony, radio and
television. The museum undertook an acquisition programme sustained
by an advertising campaign in the national mass-media and in October
1984 the permanent exhibition “Telecommunications” was
opened to the public, being unique in Romania.
