Description
The description of this photo reads:
"No more switchboards from floor to ceiling. It's no desk-high consoles and computers in the telephone room with a platoon of men and women at the control keys. Here are the hotel's Director of Telecommunications Marian Jeffries (left) and operator Ruth Jones in working positions. The "pencil-mark" on Ms. Jeffries right cheek is her almost invisible microphone.
