Very cool (picking up my jaw)! It also features the J. Larry Hendry memorial
meter panel.

The caption for this might read, "the University Board reluctantly agree to
pay the tens of thousands of dollars to purchase the system initially, but
put it's foot down when it came to the additional request for patch cables.
They did allow, in their magnanimity, the Department a budget of $20 annually
for cables since the Department Head seemed so adamant about the request."

I think I'd prefer my topmost row to be far more sloped, however.
