	Bill Ambulance stretchers all have straps that go around the chest, waist, and legs of the patient. Their function is the same as a seat belt in a car; to protect the patient in the event of an accident.

	Bill I worked on an ambulance that was in there frequently. We had to pass through a gate with a similar set up.

	Bill Tony C. beat me to it. When I saw that smilie I thought "Walmart is already eyeballing the place for a new store".

	Bill QuickSR and I agree. Perhaps "sterilize" was too strong a word. Disinfect and exterminate (bugs, not patients) is what I meant. Can I have my prize back now?

	Bill the area on the right looks like its still in use

	Bill Lynne, why put an observation window on a closet door? So you could check foe skeletons before you opened it?

	Bill Somehow I missed this one on my first trip through the gallery. Now I can't stop looking at it.

	Bill Don't get me going on "nemesis" basins again!

	Bill They also act as bumpers so those damn "Ambulance Drivers" (a derogatory term for paramedics) don't mar the walls with their stretchers.

	Bill Lynne, whenever I start thinking I don't have the time to scroll through all the inane comments you do something like this to hook me again.

	Bill As I look at these engines again I agree with Bill F. These were pulled from service. Motts, was the last business in here rehabbing old motors?

	Bill I noticed the cut hoses also. My first guess was that they had been "bench tested" connected to a shop radiator. If these were pulled after use they have been spray cleaned. I don't see any grease.

	bill no such thing as "unbreakable", when i was inpatient at a psych unit in the city i kicked through plexiglass.

	bill im 16 and have been 2 many psych hospitals, i have even been kicked out of adolescent units nd had 2 stay on the adult units... almost every unit ive been 2 has this message written in red more then once: 'wELCOME TO HELL - 666"

	Bill Actually I think they are un"infactuated", i.e. clueless.

	Bill They remind me of the flock of Canada geese that hang out at the track where it take my morning walk. They all pop their heads up when I go by.

Location: Plymouth County Hospital  Gallery: Feverish

	Bill My first appartment was painted like this. There was a piece of molding at about 7 feet up and everything above it was painted white. I think it's from the time when we were more dependent on natural light. The white upper part made the room brighter and the colored lower part reduced the glare.

	Bill These devices convert 3 pahse AC to dc. Looking at the device the section in the front is a dc generator, and the section in the rear is a 3 pahse AC motor. The whole machine could be replaved whtih a bridge rectifier {a solid state device] that you could hold in the palm of your hand.
