My best friends father works there. I've seen all the other carts. Going there tommorow to paint cart. At spring clean up maybe you could join our group on an "unofficial tour".

I am 16, and will also be at the spring clean up taking pics. Question Ozzy: Have you ever been in the tower? I've been up to floor 17.

The baggage cart is in the hands of the CTRC, and will be in the Dyngus Day parade in April. Just to note we are restoring the "best"
cart. It has significant rot and there may only be 2other good ones.

As a matter of fact, we are restoring it INSIDE the Central Terminal. I was the with the troops freezing for the past month.

We are restoring the baggage cart as part of an Eagle Scout project. We are almost done. It just needs paint.

Recently discovered a homeless man on the second floor.

This is the bigger parking garage.

I'm actually restoring baggage cart 13 with my fellow scouts.

Lower Mezzanine.

This is where owner Tony Fedele lived from 1979 to 1986.

they knoked it down

That part of the remains of the B No. 125?

the salmon building is many buildings behind the keetle building

I was a Navy signalman, many moons ago. It is a flagbag, the storage locker for signal flags. There is a ring at the top of the flag and a snap {see comment above, about admiralty snaps, at the bottom.} The slots are where the rings and snaps fit when the flags were stowed (the ring fit in the top cross-slot, then the snap below it}. The flags hung down vertically. The bags on a cruiser were about 15 feet tall. There were 2 each of alphabet flags, numeral pennants, number flags (in the Navy) and other special flags. There were 76 flags in a bag (IIRC).

This looks like a plan to install a newer
generating unit at the station but the project must have not have been approved.

Plants like this often had huge steam engines driving the generators at first. Sometimes these machines were removed after they became obsolete and turbines were put in their place.

It looks like the brick work of the back of a long bank of boilers on the right. They
were built like this from about 1900-1910
perhaps.

It looks to me like those are burners that
would use heavy bunker C oil. The old boilers may have used coal before the
oil burners were added.

Once again a magnificent gallery Motts!

I wonder how many places like this in the USA could remain so undisturbed?

Thanks Motts. It was well worth the wait.

To aleviate fears. Diagnostic Xray Machines have absolutely no radioactive material in them, PERIOD. The way an XRay is produced is by firing highly excited electrons traveling past the range of visible light and into the range of XRay where they are fired across a vacuumm tube inside the round metal canister. These strike an anode and are deflected through a glass port in the bottom of the tube. The box at the bottom with the knobs is a collimater which decides the size of the field of electons passing by using adjuxtable lead sheets. The electrons pass through the body and the table and into a film cassette. The inside of this cassette contains specially treated sheets on both sides that glow when bombarded by the electrons, thereby exposing the film.

The only hazard is when the machine is actually shooting an XRay.

Castle Sterilizer was originally Wilmot Castle. They were the second most popular large sterilizer manufacturer in the US, behind AMSCO
(American Sterilizer Company). Castle was purchased by Getinge and AMSCO was purchase by STERIS. This is a nice old machine and would be considered a Medium size Steam Sterilizer. I have been a Biomedical Electronics Technician for over 30 years and know just about all medical Equipment. I don't like Castle either!

All Right! I've got the afternoon off, AC cranking, and new pictures. It doesn't get much better that this!

The wings were intended to protect the occupant from drafts. As houses became warmer and tighter they slowly shrank, like the fins on a Cadillac.

InSearch, I've wondered about that too. I guess it's the same reason I have two old computers in my closet. They're too good to throw out and they could be used in an emergency.
