I saw something which I do not understand and hope someone can explain 
this to me.
A 35 year old wet system, manifold with 2 alarm valves. There is a 
electric flow switch on each riser, I think added recently.
The valves were trimmed with the normal motor gongs, etc.
The system side gauges are piped together between the two risers, with 
check valves, a mercoid switch labeled pump switch, and another mecoid 
switch labeled alarm switch.  On this piping there are 3 check valves 
and a small test cock, presumably for testing.
There is a small pump with 1/2 in inlet from supply side of valve 2, 
which discharges into the pressure gauge piping described above.

What is the purpose of this? Was it standard at one time?
