WE 50A1 inside front

The front contains the switching components. Compare this with the 50A inside front image also in this series. By way of industrial archeology, the front white cover was dated 1978, while the electrical/electronic components are dated as late as 1982. Apparently, the plastic was purchased as a lot for use over time. Interestingly, the rear gray cover has no date -- probably made by a different location, possibly of different material. Overall construction techniques are a lot like the Dataphone sets being made at the same time.
