   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".

    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 control room on an offshore facility I visited recently (commissioned 1995) was not all that different excepy for flat screens on the cctv and computers nowadays.

    I assume you had permission to be in all of those places?

    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...
