My first job after school was as a laboratory technician at a cable manufacturers in Trafford Park UK. One of the major lines at this factory was submarine cables which were massively armoured and loaded onto a huge turntable prior to being transferred to cable-laying ships in nearby Manchester Docks. When I started work there, a new turntable was under construction to improve production and loading. But just a couple of years before this Telstar, the pioneering communications satellite, had been put into orbit. Only one cable was ever loaded onto that turntable.
