Who-boy does that take me back! I was only in that room a couple of 
times - and unfortunately since I was "just visiting" I can't help you 
with the IDs. But that's exactly the way it looked in the early 70s. I 
have a friend who was stationed there - let me see if he remembers any 
of that stuff... (he's not on "the net" so it'll take a while to catch 
up to him and see what he remembers).

While on the subject - I'm trying to get some time to scan the Teletype 
and Facsimile Terminal Equipment section of the Navy's ET 3 & 2 Vol. 1 
1968 book - same book the patch panel "stuff" came out of.  A wealth of 
late 50s, 60s and early 70's Navy communications.  The Communications 
part of the book is several hundred pages - so I don't think I'll be 
able to get all of it any time soon, by I'll try and get the 42 pages of 
Teletype and Facsimile Terminal Equipment (chapter 8) scanned soon.

best regards...
