The first computers in Newspapers in the early 1990s went to the graphic and photo departments. Nobody in those days predicted a computer department. We just kept adding them one or two at a time. The first "computer guys" at news papers were graphic artists or photographers who adapted to them. I was hired as a graphic artists but wound up a department heard running the IT department.
As more computers were added we needed more hubs . (Not switches or routers in those days.) When we filled up one, we'd buy another and stack it on top of the other one sitting on a table. Out network was never designed and installed, it simply grew. This was taken after buying our first rack.
Network wiring was simply run through drop ceilings.
We eventually learned to try and keep network wiring aways from power lines.
When we moved to the new building we had a unique opportunity. The purse was open in a way we hadn't experienced before. We insisted on a state of the art network. Corporate IT, realizing that they may have to one day support it, backed us up and we got to design and install a network we were proud of. Some of the other employees offered their kids as ceiling rats and we ran all new cable through labeled conduit physically spaced away from sources of interference.
The new computer room was well laid out with everything labeled.
The jacks in the offices were labeled with the switch and port number, so there was no guessing when something went down.
The labeling and jacks were color coded. Blue for workstations, black for phones, and orange for servers. We even had yellow for miscellaneous, though I can't remember what systems were on those.
The switches were managed switches and we could do a lot of trouble shooting at our desk just logging in to them. We even had a photo of the rack at the old building mounted with the caption, "Never Again."

The Harrier canopy had det-cord around it to blow open the canopy on ejection. The later Stensel ejection seat had four modes of operation depending on the speed and altitude at the time the handle was pulled. If pulled in a hover, the drogue chute was fired and started pulling the chute out before the seat even left the rails, and spreader guns had the chute fully opened so the pilot could swing clear. The early Harriers had a tendency to go dead-bug in a hover because of inadequate puffer-duct control if the pilot was the least bit attentive.

The Harrier II - a joint update project with McDonnel Douglas (now Boeing) and Hawker came about in the 80s and replaced the original in USMC and RAF service. The final Harrier II units are still flying for the Marines.

They'd better fix that before CAG sees it.
