Also the upside down thing. All visible labels are right side up except the nameplate is illegible. Is the nameplate right side up? The door catches appear to be upside down. Usually you push up on them.

The door catches are the items that really caught my eye when I was looking at the switch. [Linked Image]

Or is this a violation we can't see because the door is closed (like those meter sockets)?

It's mounted a bit low for my tastes but I do like that anti-slip floor covering.

Looks like I'll have to dig out my old FPE catalogue (What a sick thing to save, huh?)

The original prints I saw have late 1964 as a date, not sure exactly when it was constructed.

Bob,
In the second to last pic, is that a piece of string or wire supporting that conduit?.

No, that is 3/8" (12 mm ?) steel threaded rod. Very strong but not doing much as installed.
