"Fire department where's the fire" ?
No CAD system in those days.
Those FDNY dispatchers had to get all the information right
Plus the street corner pull boxes coming in

Remember - Nobody goes until those dispatchers send them

Note two things:

The new-fangled status board- completely unused, but makes a nice stand to display running cards of working boxes.

The front plate of the bin holding the Brooklyn running cards: the paint worn off by the bellies of a thousand dispatchers over the years.
