I actually have a speaking clock at home on my 1930's telephone exchange. It keeps very good time being sync'd to GSM satellites. Sadly it's not the glass plate version, but a modern digital TIM2015 unit. Switchable to all good speaking clock voices.... Quite handy to set the clocks by twice a year.......

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted September 8, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Mine are: Modney Bridge: GPO Unit Auto eXchange (UAX) 12. Three racks: C unit (MDF and common services), A unit (4 connect circuits (Pre-2000 type (US standard!) selectors that absorb the leading 2, and allow 2xx to be used as the local numbers, 9 & ) levels for junctions. 50 subs line circuits) and B unit (two connect circuits, and 20 subs ccts). Equipment came from Chapple Colne in Essex, was saved by a lad in the late 70's from going to Scotland, sat in a garage for 30 years before coming to me and I got it working in about a week! The wiring of the multi between the A and B units was my lockdown project, 50 terminations a day, it only took 18 days to complete. Still need to clean unis on the B unit to bring it into operation, but for the phones around the house the 4 connect ccts in the A unit are more than plenty! Tongue End: Another GPO UAX12, but this time an A unit, B unit and E unit, and converted to STD (Subscriber trunk dialling) so has junctions on levels 1, 9 & 0, with junction relays sets on the E unit, along with coin box relaysets and subs private meter control relay sets. This originally came from Tongue End Exchange (which was in a place called Twenty near Spalding in Lincs). Was recovered to become a PAX in a private school in Dulwich in London, from where I aquired it in about 2002. It does work, but as I'm basically wiring the racks from scratch its taking a long time to get to a position where I can leave it on full time! I've also got a Siemens PAX222 exch, which is 100 line with pre-2000 linefinders and finals, which I've not powered up yet. And a PABX5 a standard GPO exchange for small customers, mine came from outside the vault of a former Barclays Bank in White City London. I had it working within 10 minutes of getting it home. Was in use for about ten years, but now in storage. 2 uniselector connect ccts, two exchange lines, 20 extensions and the rare operators telephone and relayset. Interestingly a mate and I got working an incoming Voip Junction today, now need to find time to sort the outgoing junction.... Good fun messing with Strowger, you can actually see how it works!
