MILAN - There are no alterations or additions to the roof structure which would point us to where precisely the SCS equipment has been located.
The most likely area is part of the south end of the roof, where windows and doors have been changed slightly. Windows in and under this area are either opaque or blinds are in use. These could be “false architectural features”.
