Topic: French Cable Museum--Orleans, Mass.

[gerhed]

--With drone accompanyment.
When Lindbergh landed in France, a message was sent via undersea cable to
this building in Orleans, Mass.
The person receiving the message ran down the street to where
a baseball game was taking place and announced the news over the loud speaker.
-these baseball fans were the first folks in the U.S. to hear the news!

Man, It looks like the Sacco and Vanzetti eliminator, especially with the sound track!

high tech for it's time
something sounds like it's dying in the background

Very nice !
I think I need one too.--need to put in an 880 line though.
If you really need to fill up a room
how about a nice used Corliss machine ?

I used to wire broadcast transmitters in the late 80's, it's funny that things really didn't change all that much in the next 40 years with that technology.
