Fascinating. No computer terminals or Teletypes, however there's an 
old Creed 75 printer on the chair on RH side. All men, thin ties, chap 
in jacket with 60's style glasses, thermos flask on desk, 'scope with 
circular screen - certainly looks c 1970.

A few in lab coats, and is that a bank of scopes halfway up on the right 
side, waiting for service or recalibration? Avometers all over the 
place, and it looks like a Telequipment scope beside that printer. Is 
that guy beside the bank of scopes looking at a rather large screen of 
some sort. there is another one to the right of it. Not a calculator in 
sight!
