"Fundamentals of Telephony"

Found an old Army manual called "Fundamentals of Telephony." Within was a photo I thought was pretty cool....

Wow, they ran the genny right there next to the switchboard?

See that engine? That's a Briggs & Stratton Model Z, and I have one That runs great with very little blow by or oil use. Same rope windup start, gas tank and all.

Thanks for posting.

I've got one too, though right now it's a pile of rusted parts.

I hope the one in the photo is well-muffled! ;-)

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen!

Most operators are women.  Please, your concern is very touching but let's move on to something of substance.

How we have come a long way.

Casey,

Thank you for this information. I finally understand why they listen so bad (deaf) and have such aversion against my ploffing engines.

I will scream louder when I want some coffee and give here a new cordless phone

Should be cleared for a while,

Yikes!

Be careful.  Karma is a female.
