More Antiques
This over at the Hawthorne C.O. -- a large rolling Snap-On tool chest, with the Bell System Logo that was replaced in 1969.
Bumped into this as I was searching out where my cat-5 "floor" cables go. Starting on the 2nd floor where I've just relocated 80 or so positions, making a map so I can walk to a cable location without having to crawl under desks hunting (especially since after several moves the cables are in no particular order.) One cable ended up on the third floor. Found three more that terminate on the first floor -- they predate the hub that was installed on the first floor. Still have about twenty cables that are lost somewhere in the building.

See you soon!
