The first thing that come in my mind, was AC/DC, sorry for that. :D
where's the B and D buttons them?
A mystery.
It's almost cute. . .
I'm with you AD. I want to know where the A/D buttons are.
Calling all attendants on staff! Someone stole my buttons! Stations B and D look guilty to me. :)
its those vandals again ,they stole B and D
Stations B and D got tired of all the calls!
GOOD one LucieLou. *laugh* :D

Or maybe it stands for AC cars, a british automobile brand, which have built the famous AC Cobra back in the 60´s?

Who knows?......who knows?.......:-)
B and D got tired and left the room.
I meant the B and D buttons. Sorry. I went to Publik Skools.
B and D have left the building.
I wonder how old that intercom is and when it stopped working
The cracking paint looks like a satellite picture of a city.......
The "missing buttons" don't look like they were ever there.
It almost looks like a place to plug in a microphone jack for a headset.
A would be "Answer"
And C would be to "Call".
Just saying.
I wonder how old it is and if it still works
AC-DC
Maybe Fedz stuck again...sorry, couldn't resist that comment!
I meant struck! Fedz struck again!
This is an Edwards annunciator panel. There were 4 lights...A, B, C and D. If a switch was flipped in an area, it's corresponding light would come on and a buzzer sound would be heard at this station. The nurse could flip the switch on the station to silence the buzzer. When she responds to the call, she cancels the call in the room by flipping the switch off. This extinguishes the light on this panel and causes the buzzer to ring again. When she returns to the nurse station, she flips the switch on the front of the annunciator back to silence the buzzer, and the system is now ready for another call.
Wow thanks for explaining that - not just a call button, but also a way to ensure the nurses were doing their jobs in some sense. Could have gotten pretty annoying on a hectic day though...
