    Moneygum, that image is a Main Distribution Frame. Only cables and jumper wires. You should wee the mechanical equipment. When I first went to 'Stone' it comprised of wooden huts with 2 to a room sharing. Last time I was there it was like a **** star hotel.

    Sorry trademark, I took early retirement in 1992 because I was too old for digital training and the offer was too good to refuse.
