Isn't it beautiful? A classic example of 1950's design. All those curves fit together just perfectly.

Since I first posted this picture, I have found another shot of this bus on the web, working for Sandwick Transport on Shetland Mainland in 1973, and stating that that operator acquired it from Taylor, London SE1 in 1970. I now know that the initial purchaser was Cronshaw, London NW4. However its ownership when photographed remains undetermined, bearing in mind that it carried neither legal lettering nor a PSV disc.
Communication has come a long way...
This was one of the most coveted jobs for women in the 1950's, you couldn't do much on a telephone without talking to the operator...(had to be a womans job because guys are just not that organized.) Siri is the iPhone equivalent of the operator..

More than 3,000 Washington, D.C. telephone operators are shown leaving Turner’s Arena Jan. 10, 1946 after walking off their jobs and attending a meeting called by union president Mary E. Gannon.
Turner’s Arena was located at 14th & W Streets NW.
The mini strike of January 10 preceded an “eight day meeting” called a week later where operators stayed away from their boards because of “sweatshop practices.”
“Operators objected to the usual seating, voice and courtesy requirements. Instructions such as ‘Do not change headset from one ear to the other without calling your supervisor,’ or ‘don’t take an aspirin without being relieved your position,’ were particularly offensive,” according to Venus Green in “Race on the Line: Gender, Labor & Technology in the Bell System, 1880-1980,”
The Washington, D.C. operators joined in the first nationwide bargaining later in 1946 that resulted in significant wage increases. The D.C. operators began to leave their jobs just before the agreement was reached.
Mary Gannon led the local operators union from the time it was a company union in 1935 through militant strikes in the 1940s and up until 1950--after the Communications Workers of America was formed. She was one of the few women union leaders in the Washington, D.C. area at that time. Margaret Gilmore at the Bureau of Engraving was another.
She led as many as 200 strikes—most for an hour or two—during her career, including a one-day strike that disrupted White House communications during World War II. Many of the strikes were sympathy strikes helping other telephone unions around the country and helping to lay the basis for a national union.
She was in the late stages of pregnancy with her son Tommy during the six-week 1947 strike, and put in the long hours and picket duty required of a union leader. Her son was born shortly before the end of the strike and Gannon returned to the bargaining table not long after giving birth to conclude an agreement ending the strike.
She continued to work after giving birth helping to form the Communications Workers of America later in 1947 in the aftermath of the failed strike.
Gannon said of her decision to resign at age 38 in 1950, “I was torn between two children, for I feel like the union was my child too. But in the end I felt like I must give more attention to Tommy.”
During her tenure, the telephone operators were known as “Gannon’s girls” by area news reporters.
Automation decimated the union over the coming decades as long distance direct dial eliminated the need for operators.

One of a few photos of Polish workers which I took while working as an interpreter in a factories in Goleniow and Jelenia Gora in Poland. Was really long time ago but I still really like this shot.
Sorry for dust & scratches but it was one of my first B&W films I developed myself and back then I didn't know how to handle the whole process well enough. Taken using old Practica camera.
