From Laurie McIlree:<\/p>\n

Hi Peter,<\/p>\n

I took these photos when I worked in SOR Spring St Sydney before we moved to Paddington in about 1963, I particularly like the photograph of the control room with the open book sitting on the telephones and the empty chair.<\/p>\n

Number 1 photo shows \u00a04 little black motors in the middle of racks which had flywheels filled with mercury \u00a0and I remember we used to calibrate them with a piece of plank wood at a calibrated height one end and a stop watch to time how long it took for the wheels to go down the board a certain distance, calibration was done by adding or removing mercury from with in the wheel.<\/p>\n

How things have changed.<\/p>\n

Best regards<\/p>\n

Laurie<\/p>\n
