Knows what to do with something like this:

The first think one is taught in the control room is "Don't Touch ANYTHING"! That looks so typical of the plants I've been in, but I'd be hard-pressed to describe the function of all of the controls. I suppose it would help if I could read the labels. I recall that in some places, the steam control room was separate from the electrical control room. Others had the entire unit control consolidated into one room. Different philosophy at the time of construction, I guess.

Looks to be 1960's to 1970's era equipment.

You are correct sir. In the 70's, plants went to a single contol room design instead of a seperate switchboard/fireroom design.
