Yeah, they are radiators. Look at the far right, halfway up the image... there is a valve with a Bakelite plastic handle.

Interesting that each individual cell is labeled.
The layout of these batteries makes me think they may not be lead acid. 3 cells X 1.5 volts per cell = 4.5 volts per battery. Sounds like nickel-iron (Edison) batteries. Those are IMPOSSIBLE to find these days.

I'm going to have to side with the Rotary Phase Converter crowd. I took a tour of the Allen S. King plant and it was explained to me that DC voltage is required to power the field coils of the alternator. A car alternator works the same way, it has BIG cables to carry the power produced, but it also has small wires to supply the field coils with battery power. The King plant's exciter was run from the main turbine shaft. This exciter would have drawn power from another station already online. I believe King was designed to be able bring other plants online, thus the turbine driven exciter.

That is an ancient fire door. The weight on the chain is ment to keep the door closed incase a fire breaks out. Oddly, the road to my cabin crosses a bridge who's deck is made from fire doors scavenged from a demolished industrial plant.

Wolfie is correct. Its a shower. The left and right are water supply, while the center pipe runs up to the showerhead.

It would be fun to see what it says, but that would make Motts a vandal, not an urban explorer.

They had to have arched windows... Its the only way to tell gravity what to do.

Ahem... SOAP DISPENSER!

uhh, didn't the bulletin board photo show documents from 2003?

A frighteningly white hallway leading to a terrible dark place... I feel like I'm walking to my own euthinisation *hides under bedcovers*

I now have the final scene of "Its a Mad, Mad, Mad World" running through my head.

Thanx Motts!

Daaaang
I wish I could have salvaged that before the place went down. Its too beautiful to destroy

Woah! My grandma used to have one like that . I look at that and see my brother with a sippy cup. creepy!
