The dedication to the cause (whatever that cause may be) is supreme. As is often the case, once suspects these guys are either volunteering their time or working for a pittance.

I've watched a lot from their channel, they're dedicated folks alright! I wonder how the US system compares with the equivalent that was serving in the UK at a similar point in history.

Yes quite interesting, although I must admit at times I fast forwarded it a bit when it was going slow and getting somewhat tedious.

When I was an apprentice I worked in a telephone exchange for 3 months, so had some inkling what was going on in the video.

It's sometimes beneficial to run YT videos at 1.25 normal speed if the information isn't coming at you quick enough- in many cases it doesn't distort the speech to any noticeable extent.
