Completely batteryless, 1.8 4.5 cm lens, 1/500 sec, totally manual. Still my favorite camera, but seldom use it due to the fact it has no telephoto capability. It's now over 50 years old.

I don't dabble much but I can tell you that in 1966 you didn't see conduit coming down from power lines and buried to go to homes, such as the one in the back ground.

Sorry.

While I certainly can't vouch for the photo, I can tell you that underground residential power distribution began several years before this photo is dated. I know it was available in 1963. I also know that the transformers in the photo have been in use for decades.
