Deep inside a Delaware strip mall closet, an old, forgotten Pentium computer's NPC.EXE is running wild, compiling deranged and out-dated modmails that read... well, retarded like THIS! Any local frogs up for a mission? Please find & unplug this poor museum relic of a PC! It is suffering! 🐸

YOU'VE GOT BETA MALE!
I miss that old sound of a 557 interpreter ca chunk ca chunk ca chunk, and the sorter I think was the 082. They had to wiring boards. And I worked on keypunches 024, 026, 029, 129 and 059 verifier.
Still got a tube of silver wires that go into wire contact relays. Sometimes when I would go to a call, the girls would bring me their jewelry chains that had broken, and I would fix them with my contact wires.
Good memories!
Who had to wire boards?
Control Panel\Plugboard. 557 Interpreters you could control certain machine functions through the control panel which I called wiring board.
I was never trained on 557, but I remember things like zero print, and significant digits, controlling the stackers and other operations.
The operators set up the control panel depending on what they needed to do. Or the maintenance person could use to test the machine function.
You can see one here on this 557.
