97th Signal Battalion, 1958-60 (Source: Author's collection - Photo album of former WOC member, 1958-1960) Teletypewriter equipment identified as "locals." On the right is a teletype switchboard (German manufacture?). The "local" teletype machines are used to receive and transmit to local stations via the switchboard. (Compare this picture with # 7 - it appears a second switchboard has been added.)
