On looking at just what runs off what circuit in the machine room, we
came to the conclusion that it is not surprising that breaker #11 has
been popping occasionally.  Neglecting the 220V circuits and the ones
running outside the machine room, the list of which breaker powers what
looks like this (they are all 15A breakers):

no.	location	powers
---	--------	------
1	under floor	tty40, Sanders
3	under floor	Camac crate, RJE 05
5	East wall	Versatec, card reader
11	South wall E	44, 05#1, 05#2, floppies, magtape, Star Ring, misc.
13	South wall W	44 expander box
15	West wall #1	2 Gandalfs, 2 Bell modems
17	West wall #2	1 Gandalf, 3 fast modems, clock
19	West wall #3	console terminal
21	West wall #4	nothing

Circuit #11 is very clearly overworked, and there is a general shortage
of power on the South wall and a surplus on the West.  Another item in
the list of things we'd do differently if we were renovating all over
again!  More immediately, Monday backups will run extra-long so we can
rearrange some of the power cables.  Among other things, we intend to run
a cable from #21's outlets (behind the tape cabinet!) to the cpu area.
