Project about: Storage, racks,reels, pallets and twisting machines of the 1976 era.
I know, I use to "truck drive and service that area"
Silly question? What were the reels called that held single or twisted pair wire?
And what gauges were there in the late 60-70's? (4 to my knowledge) 19-22-24-26
colors : ?
This was my first job in cable shop, trucking these around between insulating lines, storage, twisting, de-reeling of wire (scrapper) and back as empty reels to insulating (534) and twist (533) named reels!
I think for it was 50 years ago

It's the dawn of the information age. So what role did Western Electric play in ushering it in? While some of the Bell System's advancements in technology laid the foundation for our current global network, the company also developed tangent technologies that were not adopted widely.

A little history of a big building (from A PUBLISHED ARTICLE FROM INVESTORS REALTY ON DECEMBER 2011)
In the 1950s the demand for phone wiring was equivalent to today’s expansion of the cell phone industry. Western Electric Company built several factories across the country to supply the equipment to this expanding industry. It was during the post-war era when women were in the workforce for the first time and service men were returning from war.
Metropolitan Omaha was growing quickly when the plant opened in 1958. Houses were springing up in Omaha suburbs. The President Eisenhower Interstate System was being built...I-80 Interstate.
Millard, a small town outside Omaha, landed one of the approximately 2,500,000 square-foot Western Electric Plants. Peter Kiewit Company built the structure, which in its heyday had 7,700 employees working in the building around the clock. The company had its own medical clinic and cafeteria to care for and feed workers. Times have changed and recently only 100 people worked in the 30 building. Several land parcels were sold to local companies of: Specialty Finishing, Millard Lumber and Kiewit, along with several other small businesses on the east side.
