Guessing number 2 is a reactor based on the circle with dots up topPosted 8 hours ago # -
cool.
I served my time in something very similar.
I bet there's a load of beds behind the panels, with several C&I bods "resting".

Guy on the left should buy a new toupee, he's not been ginger for years.

No, why the little desks? Is it operated by midgets?

I often wondered about the sort of estblishment a chap like CFH would purchase staionary and typewriters from. Now I know, thanks CFH. I was in the market for some 1980's graph paper

The first computer I worked with looked like this
On boring night shifts we'd switch the panel light test toggle on, then pull out enough bulbs to spell sweary messages. Oh how those hours passed.....

I had the good fortune to wander round one of the turbine control rooms at Battersea power station back in 2010, I still kick myself for not taking a shed load of photos! The labelling in it made me chuckle a bit, various areas of London with an on/off lever next to them.

^^^^ That line of mercury manometers above the cell window is a work of art in itself!
(although probably not great if you get an unexpected over-range and it fountains mercury all over the control room......)

The Russian control rooms should have kids running about. Russian parents like taking their kids to work and letting them have a play on stuff...

Who writes all the operating manuals and procedures for that lot?
I bet 80% of the buttons and dials no one actually knows what they do, nor have been “pressed” since the day it/they were installed Posted 1 hour ago # -

Goddamit another henchman
OP you’re going to have to dispatch sofaking silently with a gentle karate chop to the side of the neck before pushing switchbackfrog over that handrail into the pirana tank.
And all because the lady loves Milk Tray.
