Backstory: So on the Thursday before Working Weekend the Switchboard students go together to brainstorm what they wanted to plan for the big day. Their idea was to dress Brent '14 up as Gumby; hand out ringpops and pub mix; and ask students and alumni "What can you teach Gumby?" and then pin these answers onto Gumby. So that's what they did.

Huge props to Leah, Martha, Brent, Rebecca, Paul, Kieran and Alex for pulling this crazy and delightful idea off.

Here's the incredible list of things Reedies can teach:

President John Kroger: About Heidegger's Sein und Zeit

Amy Bogran '89: "How to do your taxes"

Doug Kerns (Reed Parent): "The beautiful and simple dance of electrons in silicon"

Anand Panchal '13: Hindi/Gujarati

Derek Owen '97: "How to play the first few bars of Carmina Burana on the ukulele"

Will '13" "How to love"

Anna Fimmel '16: "All about neurons"

Kristen Biers-Jones '80: "How to take a blood pressure"

Sierra: "How to long board and power slide"

Ulrich Loft '94: German, cardiology

Daniel Baggott '95: software

Karen Silbert '13: Brain surgery (not)

Anonymous: explosives

Thomas Burns '98: "How to apply for a Fulbright"

John Cushing '67: "How to play the penny whistle"

Robert Smith '89: "How to foxtrot"

Zach Brown '13: YOLO

Mark Chen '95: "How to scrounge Mt. Rushmore Visitor Center successfully"

Jennifer Jordan '89: "How to start up"

Frida Cruz: "How to make a dream machine"

Disused underground station in Westminster that closed in 1932 but which at the start of the Second World War was converted into a bunker and operations centre. As such it was used by Winston Churchill until the Cabinet War Rooms were completed and throughout the conflict it was also a base for the Railway Executive Committee and the military.

I was alone during most of the night shift, so I was able to take a few souvenir shots with my old 35mm camera when the "traffic" was low. After midnight, I had to answer the directory assistance calls as well as the long distance ones, and of course, there was the paper work I had to get done before the "pick-up guy" arrived. I was glad no one ever asked for a call to a plane or a ship during the night. Those calls were complicated.

The top tool is a screwdriver for tiny switchboard jack screws. The screws are hollow so the spring mounted point can hold them until you get them started in the jack. The wood handled tool is for installing & removing PBX cord switchboard lamps that are deeply recessed into the front of the switchboard. As a wood handled one it would date to the very early switchboard days as they soon switched to plastic handles.

Switch board Susan, won't you give me a line?

I need a doctor, give me nine ninety nine

First time I picked up the telephone

I fell in love with your ringing tone

I'm a long distance romancer

I'll keep on trying till I get an answer

Gimme, gimme one more chance

My sewing desk is the only thing that I usually keep pretty clean. I love facing the window even if my back is to the door.

Love this old style switchboard at the Patricia Hotel in Vancouver. It's how the internet works.

John: Thanks to you, the people we lost at Switchboard have been avenged.

Priscilla: That really never brings them back.

John: Not in that way, but this is why we rescue Synths. We were originally only the human resistance.

Priscilla: I don't see the connection. Why try to help us?

John: With what we know, we assume the Institute doesn't bring new life into existence.

Priscilla: Re-used bones and genetic memories..

John: Exactly. We've lost so many resisting the machines. It's a hope right now, nothing more.

This, in extended form, was referred to as the 'Old Control Room' during my time having been replaced with a more familiar design presumably in the late 1940s. The old panels remained in situ however and were partly functional.

Access was by a stairway from the Turbine Room.
