Steam System - What is it?

Replacing a steam boiler in a small apt. house. Found this in the boiler room. 1 upper pipe is connected to the steam header, the other is a drip/return coming from the ceiling. The lower pipe connects to the wet return. I have never seen this system running. There are complaints of insufficient heat on the 4th. fl. (top floor). Radiators are 2 pipe with traps.
