Found this piece of test equipment in Dad's workshop. He was an Electronic Technician at Western Electric - AT&T - Lucent for many years and aquired a whole workshop full of electronics gear. I'm slowly going through his things and deciding what to throw out and what to keep.
This is a keeper! :-)
Daily Shoot - #ds610 - July 19, 2011
Make a photograph today of something that you've not made a photograph of before.
Daily Shoot - #ds689 - October 5, 2011 - Make a photograph that illustrates technology today.
From "Tools and Technology" - Accurate signal data is the backbone for research and product development for industries as diverse as electronics, computing, automotive, and aerospace. These instruments have had many face lifts, including the obvious move from analog to digital technology, and a shift from cathode ray tubes to LED-enabled display screens.

Retiring the Daily Shoot
Tomorrow will be the last day that a new Daily Shoot assignment will be posted. After that, the site will be mothballed. It’ll eventually disappear into the depths of the bit-bucket.
Mike and I sincerely hope that everyone that participated—some 2700+ photographers in all—had a fun time, learned a few things about their own photography, and keep at it on a regular basis going forward. It’s a rewarding art and one that rewards consistent practice.

I decided to share this ancient technological wonder from my Dad's workshop with everyone here at Daily Shoot tonight after learning from my dear Sister-in-Law, muffet68, that Daily Shoot will be shutting down tomorrow. I am sad to see it go and will always fondly remember the wonderful creativity that was generated on this site by the many talented photographers here.
Thanks to Duncan and Mike for all that you did to keep this site up and running. It was a fun ride!
Tuesday, September 16, 2014 - Happy "Digging In The Archives Tuesday"... !
Macro of some 'old school' electronics, meaning pre-surface mounted devices and computer chips. Circuit board from an old battery backup emergency light.
the camera can't handle the bright display with a dim room but after a day or so, I turned the display red.
This old calculator was sitting in an empty office. We cleaned it up a bit and gave it the smoke test. It still works. In its day, it was a real handy item. Here, showing the square root of two.
Victor Medalist 210
Singapore's famous Sim Lim Square shopping area. Several floors of a city block-sized shopping centre devoted to electronics.
The board on the left is an 8 bit LED output port state indicator and also 8 switches to an 8 bit input port. On the right is a 2 line by 20 character LCD display. These can be connected to the Z80 computer to expand its capabilities.
This is the encoder of a 12v DC motor. This particular encoder has 3 wires, not including the two wires used for the motor. I'd really like to know more about the encoder as these are nice motors!
D'you guys have any idea?
Holes in foam have been made and sensor circuit board partially soldered. Just trying out the rough layout of everything, to make sure it seems reasonable.
An overview of the Fry's Electronics store in Concord, CA. Taken from as far away as I could get (without running into other buildings...) by a Zeiss-Ikon Nettar 515/2 (a 6x9cm folder) with a Carl Zeiss, Jena 10.5cm ƒ 4.5 Tessar lens on Ilford HP-5+ Plus.
This is where many components in my various computers have been purchased... (being the closest Fry's to my residence...) OTOH, other components, and appliances, have been also purchased at Fry's Electronics, but at other stores (I've patronized [or at least been in, to shop] most [if not all] of the Fry's stores [the Fremont & Sunnyvale stores in particular…] in California, at one time or another!)
Danger Shield connected to Arduino board and powered on.
