Hi! Can we entertain each other with our fun stories about the oldest or weirdest tech we've come across?

Please boost for science or cows or something. TELL US YOUR COOL STORY!

edit: as suggested, adding the hashtag #WeirdOldTech to keep this stuff going a bit (hint: you can follow hashtags).

@Pepijn I’ve been inside a Soviet submarine. There were a lot of valves and zero screens (that I could see). I discovered that Soviet submarines were not built with 2m tall Dutch girls in mind.

@venite I've visited a Dutch navy submarine, am just 190cm and had a similar feeling. I'm amazed people working in these things don't end up wearing full body armour.
