message: I am jealous.  Not only are you fellows better writers than me, but you've got pictures.  Excellent clear photographs, some in colour, and diagrams.  I don't even have diagrams, for my 1ESS switch and similar articles.  But hold on, I can still say your gear was more primitive than mine of the same period.  I mean, that supervisory relay set is huge.  Like, it looks 3x8x20 inches.  Did it supervise only one ongoing conversation?  1ESS original trunk packs (incoming or outgoing) and junctor packs (for own exchange connexions only) were about 4x5x8 inches, and held two separate circuits.  And then in 1975 the width was halved with smaller relays.  Still, I'm jealous of your superior Wiki article.  It makes me wonder, will a future chapter describe the relays and circuitry of those relay sets?  Jim.henderson 03:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Pictures

message: :Pleasant to see progress continued during my August Wikibreak.  The "Introduction" section is a good addition, shrinking a lead which had become too long.  I can still make a few suggestions:
#Lead picture.  One image at the top of the article should help readers understand immediately upon encountering the article.  The one of Mr Harris handling the wires, for example, shows graphically the level of technology involved.  One of the reed pictures can have similar effect.  Choose one.
#Subsections.  Some of the system descriptions are so long and detailed, they ought to be broken down into subsections for subsystems.
#Length.  No, don't trim the material but perhaps the biggest system section or two ought to become WP:SIZE articles of their own, with only a summary in the mother article.
#Double-click image for more information.  In my MS Windows Explorer 6, double-clicking on your pictures does nothing different from single-clicking.  Do some browsers act differently in this regard?
:Anyway, do keep up the good work.  Jim.henderson 04:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

As an apprentice I had the job of running a thing called MASCOT (Monitoring of A-Switch Congestion On Txe). It would be plugged in to a block on the IDF and would print out a report of which A switches were busier than others. It was then my job to move customers from one to another to try and ease the congestion and then run the process again. 217.43.161.68 (talk) 13:02, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  More for your list and page 

message: Dear editors,
I was drawn here by the AN/I discussion.  I read the article and was greatly impressed, though as a general reader from a humanities background I have to admit that I both zoned out at times, and significant elements of content went over my head with the reading level I devoted to the article.  But I really did enjoy it.
===Copy violation questions relating to images===
There may be copyright problems with images.
Some appear fine, such as the pencil drawings, but may in fact be copies of the kind of images I question below.
Images such as File:TXE2 trunking.JPG display internal features indicating they were produced in a systematic manner as part of an engineering project, despite the absence of code numbers or drawing sheet indications.  These files display high quality diagram printing techniques, of a past period prior to computerisation and easy access to diagramming and diagram printing by editors.  As such I strongly suspect them to have been produced and published as a matter of course by an employee of a large institution or contracting house.  As such, these works would have been directly produced as a consequence of employment, and produced as instructed.  These copyrights would not vest in the individual who worked to produce the diagram, but the author who holds copyright would be the institution who directed the employee to act as such.  The lack of citation indicating the source of the diagrams adds to this.  As such, I do not trust the GPL / Public Domain surrender copyright notifications.
Can the author responsible for uploading these images please indicate when, where and how they were produced?  Under whose direction?  Where and how published? Fifelfoo (talk) 02:36, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Nice 

message: Although this page is highly detailed and clearly a labour of love, the tone of the writing is in parts far from encyclopedic and much of the information is repeated within the page or insufficiently structured.  There also seems to be many explanations within the technical paragraphs of concepts that are explained on their own Wikipedia entries. I will try to improve the structure of the page where appropriate, but will do so in small edits to make the edit history easier to read. Kaitlin500 (talk) 15:47, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
