This is a photo of the Radio Main Control Room taken some time in early 1970's.
On the left hand side are 10 x 19" equipment racks numbering from No. 11 to 20. Transmission line amplifiers to the Transmitters were installed in rack No. 11 & studio outputs were at No. 12. there were jacks that could by-pass any faulty line amplifiers or cross-patch a from studio to studio.
Rack on the LH side were mainly jack panels where all lines to and from studios are terminated and all outside OB lines have U link at Bay 10. Radio programme quality and continuity were monitored continuously by metering and loudspeakers via selector switches. Talk-back between cont'y studios for time checks and OB lines checks.
At the end of the view, next to the double door were the Electrical incoming distribution board to the whole studio block. There were only two Continuity studios (namely Red & Blue) plus their technical control studios.
