Here's a look at the tools Duke Energy employees used in the office (and one substation) back in the olden days. You know, the 1980s and '90s. Maybe you can help us identify some of the people, places and things in the photos.
The images are from the Duke Energy archives in Charlotte, N.C. If you recognize any of the people or locations in the photos, email illumination@duke-energy.com, and include the photo number or attach the image.
