The building known as "The Office" on the main road through Chase's Ocean Grove in Dennisport on Cape Cod. The speakers up on the pole were for announcing telephone calls.
In the 70s the only phone in the Grove was in this office. There were no phones in the cottages. (No cellphones then, of course.) If someone wanted to call you, they had to call the office. Then somebody there would announce the call over the PA system and hold it for you until you could run down there to take it. In September 1976 they made an announcement like that for me so I could tell my mother and stepfather (who stayed in the Grove all summer) that our first child had been born.
Technician 3rd Grade Gilbert Ninneman, from Cascade Wisconsin, with Technician 5th Grade Robert Ryan, from Chicago Illinois, adjusting the controls of a public address system. Installed for use at a demonstration by the artillery of the 5th Infantry Division in the Mournes on 21 March 1944.
Public address systems such as that in the photograph were still in their technological infancy at the time, and the two valve (tube) amplifiers in the photo are possible examples made by RCA, bearing a resemblance to their MI-12224 system. With a tarpaulin at the ready in the event of rain, the two men have found an appropriate spot for the amps on some granite stones. Note the men's two weapons, propped up between them, An M1 Carbine and an M1 Garand.

in 2016, i worked with a dutch film crew from bnn (not cnn) on a documentary about maricopa county sheriff joe arpaio’s infamous tent city. i took a guided tour of the facility and took photos with a disposable camera and forgot about them. i recently got the photos developed…
tent city is now closed. if you don’t know much about this experiment in human cruelty, i suggest you google it. i’m releasing these images under a creative commons license so that people won’t forget what a horrible place this was. you can do what you like with them as long as it's non-commercial use.

After leaving the State Assembly, Rev. Jesse Jackson addresses the crowd of protesters gathered in the Capitol rotunda. The public is prohibited from bringing amplification systems into the Capitol building, but some crafty protesters managed to smuggle one in and keep it concealed until they could coax Rev. Jackson out onto the bridge-like balcony above the crowd.
