[Dorset] Ex-Plessey and on Facebook, and watching here?

2016-06-09 Thread Peter Merchant
Dorsetforyou have posted a picture of Plessey c 1970.  I didn't join 
until 1978, but it looks like the shop floor in C block to me.


Any body recognize it?

If I download it from FB I only get a low resolution copy. I wonder if I 
can link across? (Rhetorical question). And I don't belong to the Old 
Poole Group. I see that the group has 21,700+ members, so maybe one of 
them will link/copy it.

I have shared the photo to the Old Poole group (waiting for the 
moderator to say OK), you should be able to see it in there later and 
read the responses. Join the group Peter lots of old time info on there.

Fascinating. No computer terminals or Teletypes, however there's an old 
Creed 75 printer on the chair on RH side. All men, thin ties, chap in 
jacket with 60's style glasses, thermos flask on desk, 'scope with 
circular screen - certainly looks c 1970.

A few in lab coats, and is that a bank of scopes halfway up on the right 
side, waiting for service or recalibration? Avometers all over the 
place, and it looks like a Telequipment scope beside that printer. Is 
that guy beside the bank of scopes looking at a rather large screen of 
some sort. there is another one to the right of it. Not a calculator in 
sight!
