Sean,

Are those AN/FRA-86s above the operator?  I would not want them hanging 
over my head! they  are heavy!

We had a similar setup in the Army Security Agency. Same equipment, 
different layout, and no desk for the operator.

have fun,

As you can see, the operator has four of each thing. Multiply that by the all the racks we had and the printer noise was pretty loud. I have tinitus but bad. It really brought up a lot of emotions when I found this to reply to Jim with - apparantly, wanting to set up my own TTY "station" was a good idea, therapy-wise. Due to a very attractive but rather abrasive supervisor, the area my workstation was in had been nick-named "The Dungeon". Rather embarrassing for her when an expose appeared in the squadron newsletter about this...about that, I mean, sorry.
