What we have here is piece of classic tech found at a lovely Suburban home in Los Angeles. This is a multi-room intercom-cum-cassette-radio console. This so reminds me of those classic GE washing machine and Microwave advertisements. I am pretty sure that people back then in the early 80s thought that this was the pinnacle of cool technology. One could use this panel to control what would play in which room of the house - Intercom, Radio or Cassette. Fascinating.
And you know what?
This seemingly archaic system still totally works. (Except the Cassette player which no one has used in decades) Now that is totally cool... I doubt in this age of quick and cheap - much will continue to work in 2040. But this workhorse, in a all probability, will still be streaming analog signals down copper wiring perfectly well.
Remote Recording Network (RRN), Riedel Communications, TV Skyline, The Black Project, and 13 other partners collaborated in the production of a landmark virtual live event on Nov. 22-23 that brought together teams working remotely across four countries and three continents.
"conversation intercom
you hear what i say but
it comes out all wrong"
Today has been quite a phone based day, loads of phone based meetings, the preview of iPhone OS 3.0, and a quick conversation with my brother on my mobile (I was taking photos of the phone whilst talking to him on speakerphone).
For those who don't know already, I have a monster of a phone which I use for almost everything when I'm out and about, I have an unlimited evening and weekends plan which I juice out to read mail, check my feeds, twitter, go on facebook and read up on random things and whatnot.
My current phone plan is about to end and I'm considering being lame and getting an iphone. Though having done quite a bit of research and feeling slightly unimpressed by tonights talk about os 3.0, I'm starting to reconsider getting one and just sticking to my current phone (or get an e71 which is the next one up to mine). It's quite a messy business but I do quite a lot of work and stuff on the fly so a decent phone is what I need, not only that but amazing battery life is a must since I do go ALL the way with my phone and came easily juice out the battery (which is another turn off for the iPhone).
Anyway, the photo is just about miscommunication over the phone, it's lyrics from Soulwax's conversation intercom and I basically bluetoothed a photo of the lyrics onto my phone and viewed it on full screen.

I just re-discovered Soulwax. This song played in my mind when I saw these two.

Rolls Royce 20/25 Limousine (1934)
ENGLISH
In those times there was a clear separation between the service and the gentlemen, in this case in crystal form. The driver listened the orders of its gentleman by this loudspeaker.
***
The Rolls-Royce 20/25 built between 1929 and 1936 succeeded the 20HP as Rolls-Royce's "small car". It was intended to appeal to owner drivers but many were sold to customers with chauffeurs.

CASTELLANO
En aquellos tiempos había una clara separación entre el servicio y los señores, en este caso en forma de cristal. El chófer oía las órdenes de su señor por este altavoz.
***
El Rolls-Royce 20/25, construido entre 1929 y 1936, sucedió al 20HP como el modelo pequeño de Rolls Royce. Fue pensado para propietarios conductores, pero debido a la gran variedad de carrocerías disponibles, se vendió también a clientes con chófer.

This is the intercom at my friends' apartment building. Each number has a '#' in front of it, but the instructions say to not press the '#'. WTF?
Construite en 1921, cette centrale thermique d'Electrabel (originalement Intercom) située en région wallonne produisait d’énormes quantités d’énergie à partir de charbon. Responsable de 10% des émissions de CO2 de Belgique à elle-seule, l’usine a été fermée définitivement en 2007. Étendue sur une dizaine d'hectares, cette centrale est notamment formée d'un bâtiment principal et d'une tour de refroidissement, auxquels se rajoutent des bâtiments administratifs et une annexe munie d'une turbine de secours construits dans les années 60. Aujourd'hui la propriété de la société WANTY, cette centrale et surtout sa tour de refroidissement sont la proie d'urbexeurs venant du monde entier.

Riedel Communications' intercom systems have taken center stage for "Singin' in the Rain," the first musical ever presented within the famed Grand Palais in Paris.
Directed by Robert Carsen, this version of the popular musical originally opened at the Théâtre du Châtelet theater and opera house and then moved to the Grand Palais when the Châtelet closed for renovations. Riedel’s Artist, Bolero, Performer, and RiFace systems support communications throughout the 2,400-seat theater built within the Grand Palais.
