Signalling Electronics Section Cards and PCB's
Between 1979 and 1996 we designed and produced seventy two cards which were either stand alone or used to make up one of our TD, TDM, Protocol Convertor etc. systems. Below is a list of all the cards and a short description, a photo (if I've got one) and a note saying what system(s) they were used in. There were three cards made before I joined the Section, 73SES1 to 79SES1.
Boards were manufactured in various forms from strip board, in-house photo etched PCB and external PCB house.
