Re: Video of last manual exchange in London
That is a cracking film. Surprised that manual exchanges were still operating so late. I am surprised that they went for an electromechanical exchange rather than an all electronic exchange. I presume that it was quickly superseded by a solid state exchange.
Wonder how many of the dial less telephones were saved and the old manual exchange equipment was saved? Presumably still all old junk then and not worth saving.
