The theater in this school has been a widely used venue for many years, so I would not have been surprised to learn that this had something to do with associated equipment.
Now that I know it was not, and was used for the purpose above, what was the reason for feeding the unit vent cabinet with DC? Possibly the fan motors in the units had DC motors at one time, I guess.
Just picking the collective brain of this site out of curiosity.
Anyone??
As far as saving the piece for a museum or such, it would require the dedicated efforts of some people willing to carefully take apart, move and reassemble it in a location that would be a bit hard to find. Sad, but true in many cases of things like this. When you actually do visit a museum, esp. of mechanical things, it is evident from seeing the restored condition of things and the displays that a LOT of volunteer effort went into the whole deal.
At any rate, I did get to see it---now I wonder more about it.
