I think the biggest variable here is the attitudes of the building planners.
Sid Smith seems to have been designed by humanities types who think an
electric pencil sharpener is heavy electrical equipment. :-)  Ramsay Wright
had considerable design input from our old (now retired) Electronics chief,
and the department chairman of the time had had plenty of experience with
power problems.  So it's not an accident that Sid Smith is wired like an
"Electronics For Children" kit and Ramsay Wright is wired like a Hydro
substation.
