I like the complexity of this shot.
Though it must have been scary to stand there back in the day.

All these wires, switches and connections all had a purpose, now they just sit dormant.

I'm always tempted to lick those wires and terminals. Is it just me?

You are seeing fairly low voltage control wiring. The bundled wires are tied with waxed twine. It was called "looming", and is a lost art. Wiring was routed and bundled, neatly, then tied in a continuous process with the waxed twine. It had to look uniform and neat. Once the nylon or plastic wire ties (tie-raps or similar) came on the scene, the use of the twine and the art of "looming" was lost.
