Level Measuring Set No 46A
« on: May 27, 2015, 09:39:40 PM »
Prowling around the nooks and crannies of eBay, I came across one of the above --

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391153790313

It looks to be in very good condition. The only problem is that I do not possess a rack in which to mount it.

Who needs a rack? Just cut a hole in your bureau.   ;D

Brought back a few memories  :) :) Don't know why it's described as 'Strowger' though, nothing to do with clockwork.

This got me wondering as it needs a 19" rack. Modern IT equipment uses 19" racks (e.g. servers and network equipment); telephone exchanges used 19", I believe war time aircraft rack mounted radio sets used 19" - so what was the first thing to set the 19" standard that we still use today?

Wikipedia has a 19 Inch Rack entry. It appears to be an American standard, dating from 1934.

I don't believe GPO/BT ever used 19" practice. Their racks were a different size and practice. Early transmission equipment was mounted in Type 42, followed by Type56 and Type 62 racks and latterly TEP1E. I can't remember the dimensions now but were definitely not 19" practice.
