Got these pictures from a friend. Anyone know what these boxes are for? Look to be connected to an antenna and a GPS unit. Located at 5th and Bainbridge, Philadelphia.
Rediffusion Wired Vision handhole shared with me from Tunbridge Wells, UK. Long out of use, I was told this twisted-pair CATV system had subscribers install a switch in their house to change the pair they wanted to use for different channels. rediffusion.info/Wired_Visio…

Pneumatic tubes connecting 23 US Post Offices in NYC across 27 miles. Used until 1957.
Got my copy in the mail a few days back. Really cool book for infra nerds!
Engineering in Plain Sight is available starting today at your favorite bookseller. If you already have your copy, I would love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for all your support in making this book a reality!

We are having an install party on December 17th where we will be installing our first free-to-use payphone on the wall outside of @IffyBooks. We will also have a PhilTel zine available! Hope to see you then! More info is available here, iffybooks.net/event/philtel-…
Thanks to @DialupDownload there is now a map of various Philly infrastructure buildings based on content from networksofphilly.org Hopefully we can leverage this to create walking tours for next year. Please reach out with anything cool we missed. google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid…
Anyone know what this Verizon building is at 479 N 3rd St? At first I thought it was a CO but maybe its a depot of some sort? google.com/maps/@39.9598941,…

Doing a little research: Is there an equipment cabinet or control panel that has you burning with curiosity about what's inside? Share a photo, link, or description of the equipment enclosures that captivate your curiosity. (And if you have inside knowledge, I may want to chat!)
Great seeing everyone at @woprsummit. Slides from my talk are available here, github.com/networksofphilly/…
