That was my first job when I started as a 15 year old apprentice. The boss said, boy your first project is make a bell set, gave me a wooden box, couple leads with little crocs,an underdome bell and a battery.

It was my pride and joy for many years.

Did you ever get asked to go and get some sky hooks out of the van, or hold these leads while I turn the megger handle.

Yep I made a bell box as an apprentice. It's long since gone.

And as I did my apprenticeship for a large organisation, it was more likely you were sent to stores to get a long weight, or a long stand, or a tin of elbow grease.

Ah yes !! The fruitless errands , I think I posted this before but anyway, apprentice is sent down the High St. to the tool shop for a glass hammer.

Using his initiative he purchased an ornamental one from Woolworths, the Sparks who sent him had to pay for it IIRC.

or....go and get a box of 'ring tones' or my favourite....'go to the Chemists and see if they will lend you some of their fallopian tubes'

on the subject of hammers...I have a left handed slaters hammer!.....and a left handed 'lead dresser' somewhere.......... :coat

 

[Evans Electric]

.......and there was the dreaded... " Go to the cake shop and ask for a Dripping Minge" :shakehead :C :red card

When the BT monopoly broke.. (the Telex monopoly was earlier than the phone network)....

I used to install the electronic generation of Telex machines....

The ones that got away from punched tape readers...

5 digit dialing IIRC?
