Davis Studio — open documentation questions

questionactivep3

Seven open questions about the Davis Studio from the CoolSky/Melton iterations document: pipe count discrepancy, building type, drainback pump status, current operation, photographer, cost/fittings, and why no further work followed.

From the CoolSky Buildings iterations document (Ch. 4: Bruce Davis Studio):

  1. Pipe count discrepancy — Sources give 42 vs. 38 pipes. Which is correct?
  2. Building type — Is the studio a converted garage or a detached space?
  3. Winter drainback pump — Was the drainback pump for winter operation ever installed?
  4. Current operation — Does the system still operate? Has it been measured since 2004?
  5. Photographer — Who took the photos?
  6. Cost and fittings — What did the installation cost? Are Tim James’s installation notes available?
  7. No further work — Why has the studio “not yet produced more work”?

Next action: Bruce Davis can answer most of these directly — he built and owns the studio.
