I've seen such huge pipes in old commercial buildings. I had always
assumed the big pipes were because it was a big place with lots of

At my school, many rooms only had a thick pipe going round the room - no
radiators at all - from memory somewhat larger than two inches but that
is all too fallible. But the scale of the place must have required pumps
in the system.

Yes - the dormitories were very cold in winter.
