History

This was the third building C&P Telephone built in downtown Washington and the second in a two-year period of time.[2] This seven-story structure housed the company's new dial switching equipment that could not be accommodated in its existing facilities. It was designed with Art Deco detailing and ornamentation by the New York architectural firm of Voorhees, Gmelin and Walker. The company began its first conversion to dial telephone service on May 3, 1930, when 60,000 telephones in downtown Washington were switched over from the old manual system.[2]

gollark: If you care at all, and indeed if you don't, you can find most patched potatOS sandbox escapes by searching for `PS#` inside https://pastebin.com/wKdMTPwQ.
gollark: PS#D7CD76C0 is that you could do those during queueEvent. I should probably assign a bug number to the Polychoron-based version.
gollark: Yes, basically.
gollark: It's kind of just a different form of PS#D7CD76C0.
gollark: The issue is that you can queue fake websocket_message events on the SPUDNET coroutine because of the process manager being exposed to the sandbox.
