Yes, that is an interesting observation of Burwell, Philip.  From the
fairly coarse Schuyler photo (the snip I posted, I had already enlarged
and interpolated) it does look like it may have had a pit.  Unless any
ground-level photos turn up to contradict it, I'll model the Schuyler TT
with a pit.  So far, I haven't managed to find a single photo of the Q
Schuyler facilities...
