The invention of the channel switcher put millions of kids (like me!) out of a job, eliminating the need to get up and change the dial on the TV.
Of course, prior to cable, and the cable box, we only had three channels - plus one in Spanish.

This odd set of switches on the wall don't actually control anything, but if I toggle them just right a red light goes off accompanied by a very loud BUZZ! So I did what anyone else would do, I took a picture of it and stopped messing with it.
The markings on the wall around this old switch are real.. Althought I did put a bit of a texture to the entire image (first time doing this ever).. Thought I would give it a try and maby add to the grundgy feel of the switch.
IDK.. I think I like it!

Under the green lid is where the switch is to turn the coil on. The left hand portion is a lid that contains the fuse
On the evening of February 10, 2020, an errant pickup truck driver drove up this gravel embankment just to the left of the switch (right) and got stuck on the track. This is the Union Pacific Nevada Subdivision main line, and the switch at right runs from the main into the Fernley "House Tracks." Fortunately, the driver was able to get the truck over the tracks, where he then drove down the space between the main and siding before bouncing back over the main and clear of the tracks.
ZyXEL lanserar ES1100, en ny produktserie prisvärda och energieffektiva switchar anpassade till små och medelstora företag. De är enkla att installera och konfigurera. Med N-Way Auto Negotiation-funktionen ställer switchen automatiskt om till högsta möjliga datahastighet i anslutningen och aktiverar vid behov även duplexlläget automatiskt. Enheterna saknar fläkt och kan därmed även användas i bullerkänsliga miljöer.
Smarta funktioner minskar strömförbrukningen
Alla switchar i serien uppfyller även IEEE-standarden 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet) som innebär att de styr datatrafiken i nätverket och automatiskt minskar prestandan vid lågt utnyttjande. De känner av hur många andra enheter som är inkopplade i nätverket samt hur lång Ethernet-kabeln är, och anpassar strömförsörjningen därefter. Få anslutna enheter och kort Ethernet-kabel minskar strömförbrukningen.
Flexibilitet med Power-Over-Ethernet
Switcharna ES1100-8P och ES1100-16P följer IEEE 802.3af PoE-standarden och erbjuder extra flexibilitet vid installation av till exempel trådlösa accesspunkter, IP-telefoner och övervakningskameror. Med Ethernet CAT 5-kabeln kan switcharna anslutas på ett avstånd upp till 100 meter, monteras i taket eller på väggen och driva exempelvis övervakningskameror utan att installatören behöver ta hänsyn till extern strömförsörjning.
Unfortunately the Sierra handbrake on switch was broken. Luckily I already had a micro-switch that I've adapted for the purpose.
An unknown switcher taking care of one of the various industries in and around Duluth near sunset. This was probably one of the last shots before we headed back east with our next stop being the LS&I.
Because of the arched top and the control relief, I can't really have the screws for the switch going through the top, but the top is not thick enough to just screw it in through the normal holes, so I make these little brackets out of brass to hold them in place. It moves the screws to a thicker part of the top, and gives me a look I really like while holding the switch very securely.
This is a video I shot with a group of friends in either late 2003 or early 2004... I forget now. It's fun to look back on especially since I 1) don't look like that any more and 2) am no longer in the "creative" field. And let's hear it for the *great* look on my face at the loading pause.
the switches are on the metal plate and soldered. That part was fun and simple with a bit of sanding of one of the plates.
The left momentary toggle switch (press down to enable) is "Cancel/Clear", and opens the relay if the timer is decrementing. The right momentary toggle switch (raise to enable) adds a minute to the timer and activates the timer/relay if it is not already on.
Tis a volume switch peeps!
I added another layer to this and 'ramped it up' with the 'unsharp' tool before making a square crop.
(Would probably make a good 'squircle' if I could line the camera up properly - an idea for another day.)
