That's so cool. Yet another example for my kids on how we
"survived" without computers-Internet-VoIP-dry erase boards-remote
controls-cable TV-Video on Demand-etc when we were growing up...<br>
<br>
Thanks for sharing.<br>

<div>One of my first jobs was installing Low-voltage wiring,
and the owner of the company was a Retired New England
Telephone/NYNEX/ATT installer. (He retired in the Mid
Eighties)</div>
<div>That's the meter he carried.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>He could tell you how long a cable run was by "kicking"
the cable. The meter had a battery, and would charge the
cable, then flipping the switch would read the Ohms on it,
he knew how many ohms equated how many feet. It was quite
impressive then, especially since it had no electronics. </div>
