Um... I think Motts had a light fixture vs. soap dispenser moment...

We were talking about the little alcove things on the right side of the picture... not the windows in the upper left.

My grandmothers victorian era house has horizontal electrical outlets... I think is was a common practice "back in the day." Was it Lynne? - hehe

Looks Boarded - if you look down you can see a simular "alcove" (or what ever.)

Yumm... crap... how about a side of poop too?

Confusing... Is anyone else confused? I'm very confused... and my brain is hurting.

I'm just so confused.

Peaches - don't feel bad - I will not tell you how long it took me to figure out "Opacity"

Oh my god! What and incredibly stupid question that was! But I was wondering the same thing. Looks like it could have possibly been little alcoves for radiators perhaps?

It's an intensity adjuster (aka dimmer switch) for a surgical lumenaire which is a light for use during a medical procedure utilizes a single optic fiber for providing a beam of light having an initial beam width and an initial beam energy. The width of the beam is adjustable without substantially decreasing the beam energy, and the beam of adjusted width can be directed onto a surgical field. A headband for mounting a luminaire is formed of a perspiration-absorbent cloth strip, has hook-and-clasp engagement, and includes a luminaire mount.

K?

Ha!! That's all I'm saying.

It's sad.

My grandmother says that it translates to "Able way" or the "Way we were able." It's suppose to mean "Exit" Or the way out of a building. She remembers the signs when she was a wee school girl.

Remember the skylights from a previous picture?

I feel sea-sick...

It's very posible! But the thingee whould let you adjust the whatchamacallit, so it was safer.

Well... if you like rust then I'll call you Salad Fingers.

You are mistaken, it's a thing-a-majig installed on pipes.

You can tell the difference by the little valve rotater thingie on the top right of it.

As long as your not mildewed and peeling, your doing good!

I'm employed but I can't say that I'm really gaining much.

Well except when the patients were being bad they would dunk them in a vat of red paint and then subject them to shock therapy at industrial settings and then to top it off they would give them a lobotomy, twice.

No... they're unmarked.
