Imagine a building with two sections each with it's own service. Now, to the right of that building, an addition is made. Power for this addition is brought from the unit on the left, passing clear through the (now) middle unit.

In an earlier thread, you saw this pipe- the one bringing 100 amps to the new unit- being used as a clothes rack.

These pics show what passed for "distribution equipment" in the addition. The 100 amp feeder ends in the lower 4-11 box, where it is wire-nutted to continue on, as well as several #12 circuits branching off to serve the lights and receptacles.

Breakers? Overload protection? Access to the panel in the other unit? No, No, and No. Even where someone had an idea, and put in a fused disconnect, the line side is double-tapped.
