The Northern Electric / Northern Telecom Card Catalog is courtesy of The Telecom Archive.
The Northern Electric / Northern Telecom Card Catalog is a set of over 8,000 quick reference cards.
Many parts with an NE- prefix are identical to their Western Electric counterparts, but not always. Parts with a Q in the code are generally specific to Northern Electric / Telecom.
The "Back to Index" link in each card will take you to this page rather than the individual card index.
