Random/Mixed Up Systems

By far, the most mixed-up system I’ve seen was at Allegheny General Hospital. I posted photos of it <URL url="Allegheny General Hospital FA Pics]here[/url]. The hospital is made up of multiple connected high-rise buildings and has components of systems spanning 80 years that were still functioning when I took those photos. As far as I know, all of this has been replaced (or is still being replaced) by a Notifier system with a 7-digit bid.
