>>88528After a while of just looking around, our attention is drawn to this shelf of binders, we start pulling them off the shelves and leafing through them. These black binders are known as "BSP
s" short for Bell standard procedures. We remembered this from our research into what this tower was for over the last few years and that there is a community effort to recover these binders and any info like it or about the long-lines bell system for archiving online at.
Long-lines.netWe grabbed nearly every binder on this shelf sans specific equipment manuals and they have since been meticulously scanned and every page has been uploaded to the long-lines website, We also found some blueprints in a cabnet that we grabbed one set of, there were many duplicate rolls so we only grabbed one, they have since also been archived.
Anything we took bell surely has duplicates of somewhere.
The only other things we grabbed were a few misc electronic componets that looked neat sitting in the giant boxes of equipment outside waiting for the scrap truck to come and haul it off to the dump.
If we weren't there, or people like us weren't around the us much of our history could be rotting away in old buildings just waiting to be forgotten.
Think about archaeology dig sites in Egypt, are they "Stealing" artifacts?
If what we are doing isnt justified, and considered exploring in the truest sense of the word, I don't know what is.
