Telephony in the 1970s. Interior from an empty room with a large switchboard visible. Technology of the past that no longer is in use or the staff of it has not yet sat down to work at it. It is a manual switchboard where a human operator is needed to connect the calls manually. Sweden 1971 Kristoffersson ref ED
