		Tower maintains that the Supplemental Award "did not award Muente a '30 and out' pension under either the Tower or the A.O. Smith Retirement Plans", and that the Supplemental Award "is the basis for Muente to apply for a '30 and out' pension with the A.O. Smith Retirement Plan".

		Smith utilises the variously reframed, “ominous” image of a hospital's water-tower – a built form that can actually be seen from the back of his house, across a graveyard – to weave a disturbing, symbolic tale of urban transformation and dread.
