Description:		Guy Barclay monitors the control panel at the Bay Street substation in 1938. This placid looking scene belies the terrible noise in the place. Guy's wife, Adele, recalls visiting him at work and being overwhelmed by the racket: "It was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. I don't know how he could stand it."
