Interesting short film 1939
Found this while looking for something else, be patient to get past the intro and you'll see some interesting vintage kit!

Re: Interesting short film 1939
Some of the receivers look like HROs. A coilpack change is commented on.

Re: Interesting short film 1939
I wonder why the manual transcription stage was required before conversion to punched tape?

Re: Interesting short film 1939
Maybe part of an audit trail? Some telegrams would have carried information which could be expensive if it was mistranscribed. In those circumstances there would likely be legal implications.....

Re: Interesting short film 1939
HROs certainly, but what was that receiver the lanky bloke was using before the cut to the aviation service?
Oh, that was a DeHaviland Dragon Rapide unless I'm mistaken. David
