The most visually appealing part is the use of colours that you wouldn’t expect on an industrial control panel.
The first picture shows a shade of blue, as well as red and yellow symbols for whatever they might mean.
Also, approximately fifteen images down shows a switch control panel for a two-platform, triple-track Moscow Metro station (Полежаевская) that was intended to have a branch line, but mothballed due to future ridership projections.
- chemeng 4y agoAlways felt bad when replacing these old control rooms, there is a certain beauty and elegance to their design that is missing in modern HMIs. This sort of color coding is common in industrial settings and definitely was on panelboards of the era. It would be really interesting if the color coding seen here in any way aligns with ANSI/ASME A13.1.
- xattt 4y agoI doubt regarding ANSI, given that Soviet versus US conventions were somewhat divergent. I don’t have specific examples, but I would look at the design of Soyuz in comparison to the design of Apollo.
