It is my belief that the circular design, with DIAL instructions, reflects a later time of telephone technology after that of the Fire in the Fells described in PP, and that design is not from Ransome origins.
indeed - I made it up ( to represent the dial centre label on T.E. Jolys (LT.-COL.) phone ) when I also made up the 'weighing machine' ones.
