Allt flera tecken tyder på att byggfesten är över för den här gången? Det är många projekt som lagts i malpåse runt om i landet! Frågan är hur man ska lösa bostadsbristen då man fortsätter att ta in över 100.000 nya invånare per år? I år pekar prognosen på ca 130.000 och ingen minskning har aviserats från politikerhåll. Flera byggbolag har gått i konkurs och även hustillverkare. Frågan är hur stor arbetslösheten kommer att bli eftersom den svenska byggindustrin varit överdimensionerad och...

Hello. Besides the last 2 companies, for which you can find some information on wikipedia, where I can find pieces of information about the first 2 companies. These Swedish companies broke the monopoly of some big companies (including American ones). "Sweda" cash registers and "Halda" taximters where also used in Romania during Ceauşescu's time and even in some part of the '90's. Electromechanical cash registers where forced out by an 1999 law which made mandatory electronic ones. Is there... "Sweda", "Hugin", "Facit", "Halda ..read more

Hej! Jag är ny här på forumet och det verkar inte finnas någon tråd om byggen i Växjö, en kommun där man bygger mest i förhållande till storleken i Sverige.

Hello. I try with "Google" Transalte to find out who do you say public (pay) phone in Swedish, but I couldn't find out. I'm intrested to see how the old public phones with rotary dial looked (and maybe the phone booth). I'm curios, why did you adopt the telephone dial where 0 was before 1, and not after 9, like in the rest of the world (except New Zeeland, where they have an even more different dial). Did "Ericcson" even manufactured teleprinters (telex machines) or they where imported? In... Old telephones and telex (teleprinters) in Sweeden ..read more
