From Jeff Goodwin, Nigel Taylor and Roger Francis

Some documents, further down. They're really interesting for historians, but not very visual, so first here's a picture of Doug Watson doing his thing in 1993, sent by Jeff...

Here are the documents -

From Roger, the TODS for week 5 1965.

Visitors - TODS stands for Technical Operations Duty Schedule. It was issued each week, and and a given week was in it from five weeks ahead, giving staff that notice of their probable days of work. Crews worked any four days in each week, with any hours in each day up to 42 a week. Theoretically, days and hours could be changed with no notice, but in practice this was pretty rare, as in those days mobile phones - or phones at all in many cases - didn't exist.
