    One that I wondered about was all the galaxies that have the name NGC and then some number. It turns out the NGC catalog is short for New General Catalogue, and it's a list of 7,840 interesting objects in the night sky.

  • KudbegudKudbegud Posts: 4,735 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Will you do the grabbing if it's still there? B)

    You should leave a PCGS box next to it.

    You must check the greater Boston area for similar NGC boxes! :D

    With a little better photo we could decipher the label text.

    Is it attached to the concrete?

    I wouldn’t touch that with somebody else’s hands.

    yes It is.

  • RogerBRogerB Posts: 8,852 ✭✭✭✭✭

    There is an engineering company in the area that has initials N.G.C. Maybe it is equipment monitoring the stability of concrete or traffic vibration.

    I figured it had something to do with that or the traffic signals...

    Today I pulled up to that intersection and there were no cars so I pulled up really close!

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,427 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I find it kinda disturbing actually. :D

    Do not see any obviously electrical signs.

    The fact it says AVOID is enough for me to call someone who cares and if they don't so be it.

    Glad to see the good old NGC box is still there, we all know it would be gone if it said PCGS. :D

    So let me get this straight, you noticed an "across the street" box across the street.

    The nVent RAYCHEM Power Line carrier Interface (PLI) module
    is part of the nVent RAYCHEM NGC heat-tracing control and
    monitoring system. The PLI module receives input from the
    power wires for the heat-tracing circuits, which carry the
    signal from the nVent RAYCHEM SES/SPC or legacy 700-TT-R
    transmitters. The transmitters provide pipe temperatures from
    RTDs and continuity confirmation; they are typically located at
    the front and/or end of the heat-tracing circuit. The PLI module
    can receive signals from up to nVent RAYCHEM 127 SES/SPC
    or nVent RAYCHEM 255 700-TT-R transmitters. PLI modules
    communicate with a central NGC controller using a single
    RS-485 bus (a shielded, twisted pair).
    TOOLS REQUIRED
    To make conduit entries into enclosure:
    • Drill or hole punch
    To make connections to PLI module:
    • 3.5 mm flat-blade screwdriver
    • Wire stripper/cutter
