The two sections that make up a Level Measuring Set.

I believe both images are related to equipment of a "repeater station", c.a. 1960s - 1970s.

I can just imagine 4C's and liquorice's reactions to the two captions for the second & third images!  :D

The 'Router' is a portion of the TJF (Test Jack Frame) which would have been located in Trunk Test to intercept and test the trunk circuits. The middle section of the panel are the alarms extended from remote exchanges parented on Saxmundham.

The 'Manual telephone sound equipment' are a voice frequency oscillator and measuring set which would also have been found in Trunk Test as well as the repeater station.

Yep, looks just like the pair I used on Trunk Test in the early 70s.

In the TRS in the 80s we used a 'combo unit' on the Works Order desk. IIRC the maintenance test bay used separates like the Trunk Test pair.
