Dr.Ido- Yeah, that's kinda what I remember it lookin' like...Bunches upon bunches of relays, miles & miles of wire...It apparently was a "3-digit" system, which certainly limited growth. And the fact that the whole kit 'n' kaboodle fit in a room that was about half the size of a one car garage...Like everything else over there, though, it was in this solid little brick building that had opening windows, & was finished out as nicely as someone's house..EVERYTHING they built or did over there was done that way, though. I can just remember it when I was a little kid, the whole place had an incredible "manicured" look to it. Even the Trade School, which had suffered mightily from vandalism by '91, still had a hint of being well-taken care of-at least in part of its life.
