Terence Chapman: I apologise for the over-exposure of the operating room, but it was my first camera and I was only 19. Nobody could stay still long enough for the light available. I was a S&T trainee on the then London S&T District and the District Engineer at the time was Arthur Mellin from Neath and the Senior Tech was Ron Bangs from Teignmouth. Our District Office was at West Ealing. This was in 1969. I stayed there about 1 year then I was moved to Reading and had a spell at Newton Abbot, Worcester and Newport. All good experience of modern and traditional. Ron Bangs was preceded by Ray Hallet as Senior Tech but he became seriously ill and died young. Derek Turner was like the number two to Ron, but I can't now remember most of the techs. Morris Dear from Devon, was one.

How things might have been: Old Oak Mini Panel as designed by Westinghouse in 1976. The company was not commissioned for the work so this design was never built.

Although Par doesn't contain a HW panel, it does have a set of sprung points which came up in our Swindon Panel research, so the photos are kept here.
