Power Plant

JD

I’ve lived just off Letchworth property almost 10 years now, and have been on the property numerous times though only in reoccupied buildings. Since I am in my thirties now and married with children, my days of venturing off into abandoned mental institutions are over (and I did do this as a teenager, though not here). I have been aware of the reputation this place has for being haunted for a few years now, and must agree the buildings do seem creepy, especially at night. My son attended school at both the middle and secondary schools on site, and I just recently noticed the power plant that looms eerily down the road from the school’s parking lot. It indeed looks spooky even in broad daylight. I must admit, the adventurous teenager inside me yearns to explore the insides of these buildings. I am happy to have found this site, so those of you want to risk arrest among other things can do it for me.

Picker X-ray Machine

No, the oil is merely collant for the tube, meant to transfer heat. As has been said before, there is nothing radioactive in an x-ray apparatus. A large x-ray tube could be rated at 100kW - and the heat needs to be removed.

Our local newspaper - The New London Day - in CT. has an article on 'Urban Explorers' -http://www.theday.com/...8f-b16a-332f3714c622 - that's why I'm at this site ~ I checked out a few things on this fireplace ~ here you go for anyone interested ~ those are our state tree - the Charter Oak and the emblem in the middle is 'The Armorial Bearings' - Arms of the State - the saying means - "QUI TRANSTULIT SUSTINET" (He Who Transplanted Still Sustains)
