Anyone got any suggestions as to the function of this 2nd storey door on the old Douglas Telephone Exchange building on Hope Street in central Glasgow? It was constructed in 1910. I've been puzzling over it for a while, but can't come up with a reasonable explanation for why it's there.

The former Western Telephone Exchange on Highburgh Road in the west end of Glasgow. Built in 1907, it was designed by Leonard Stokes and Colin Menzies. It has now been converted into flats.

Attached: 1 video The whole place is, as you would expect, wonderfully electromechanical. Here’s a cool connection demonstrator.
This large "house" in #Stowmarket #Suffolk #England might look a bit unusual - round the corner you can see why - it is the local #TelephoneExchange ! (it is apparently going to be kept after analogue circuit switch off, as its used as a handover point for #fibre circuits)
Does anyone happen to have any documentation for a British Telecom "Tester 420A" ISDN BRI tester.
Also known as the T4200 - seemingly made by Fulcrum Communications in the early 1990s
It's throwing some error codes at me, and I'd really like to know what they mean!

The Hope Street elevation of the former Douglas Telephone Exchange building in central Glasgow. It was designed in a Baroque style, with the left hand section being constructed in 1910. The right hand section wasn't built until 1938, but maintains the same style, despite this 28 year gap.

@ety my shenanigans are mostly on much older kit than your average home lab phone setup (#electromechanical #strowger!)
My preference for phone kit is “massive, heavy, and maintained with a spanner” 😂
I just throw a ton of tags at it (usually as many relevant ones as I can fit in the post) #TelephoneExchange #phoneExchange #pbx #vintagePhone are probably my most commonly used.
I’ve been hanging out with @CuTEL a bit over the last couple of years, so I also have some more modern #voip & #dect
