Cleveland's TSPS
The photo of Cleveland's TSPS above was a slightly different version of the original TSPS that was put into New Jersey. The final product omitted the keys to the left of the multileaf file because the function those keys served had been incorporated into the primary functions to the right of the multileaf.
I suppose I should write an operators' perspective of how TSPS radically changed our call handling and created a new operator services culture. Including the mechanics of operating the console that were similiar and those that were different from the cord switchboard.
You know that Northern Electric actually beat Western Electric to the punch in putting in trial consoles in Greenwood, South Carolina and Greenville, Ohio but they were much less automatic and still required a lot of operator "ticketing and timing"?
