Is there a repository for "The Telegraph Journal and Electrical Review", published in London? In particular, we are looking for the bound Volume 5, 1877. Is there a way for those of us in the U.S. to get access to British patent files? We're looking for a copy of patent specifications for early telephone patents, and we have the patent numbers. Thanks, list! Jody Georgeson, Archivist/Executive Director The Telecommunications History Group, Inc.
