Last time I saw that one was when I called in at Beattock Exchange/Repeater Station http://tinyurl.com/BeattockExch-RepeaterStation on the day of the so called 'Last EM Exchange' at Crawford 23rd June 1995. What a display of the lead covered cables fanning out on the ground floor and making their way up the wall to the repeater station on the first floor. They all had little lead plaques with cable details, date and names of the jointers who had installed them stamped on them. Last time at Oban Repeater Station http://tinyurl.com/ObanTransAtlanticRStn twenty years ago - all was empty and derelict having closed in 1978
