CT_TC_2

TC-TC-2.

Transmission form used as an ordinary Tasmanian transmission form (29 August 1871).

The rate written in the lower left corner is the correct rate for "between Tasmanian stations" - 2/1 for 23 words.

It may be that both this transmission form and the delivery form shown elsewhere were printed soon after the re-opening of the cable in 1869.
