Abstract: A telephone index comprises a box stand on which a telephone can be placed and an index comprising a stack of cards in a drawer, any selected one of which can be presented for inspection upon pressing the respective one of a plurality of buttons. Levers are mounted in an upper part of the box and extend from the front towards the rear thereof, the levers are pivotably mounted about a common transverse and generally horizontal axis located at a position forward of the push buttons and each co-operates with a respective one of the push buttons such that pressing any one of the push buttons depresses a rearwardly extending arm of a respective one of the levers to move a downwardly extending projection at the rear end of the lever downwardly into engagement with an abutment surface and raises a forwardly extending arm of the lever against the bias of a spring to trip a drawer catch to allow the spring biassed drawer to open.
