[GreenKeys] Two short film clips

[Sam Hallas]

I've placed a couple of short video clips on my web site at:

<http://www.samhallas.co.uk/repository/recordings.htm>

The first is an extract from the GPO Film Unit's documentary, /The 
Islanders/, (1939), directed by Maurice Harvey. The tiny Post Office on 
Eriskay is where the islanders transact all their business with the 
mainland. Young Ian Nicholson works the ABC telegraph machine with 
amazing speed.

The second is about British Road Services teleprinter switching network, 
called The Long Night Haul from 1957. Nostalgic footage of torn tape 
relay room. Shots of the curious 3-head tape reader and the messages all 
on chadless tape to allow the operators to read the plain text. Lots of 
Creed Model 7s chattering away.

Cheers,
Sam
