Hi all (Carl),

Ive seen one of these, or something of vrey similar dimensions.  It was in a basement cavern of a special built Disaster Recovery Centre for many government departments in ACT, Australia.

As a UPS, it would kick in when the power died and on the top floor you could feel the building start falling into harmony with the stroke.  It put a smile on most of the chicks in any meetings we held there :)

Interestingly (and im not sure what it says about people in general), the local mythology was this non-descript building, built behind a telephone exchange, was a 'secret' ASIO (read CIA) hideout.  :)

big?  Maybe for power generation?
