Contacts

Junkyardave

That's called a rheostat; Depending on the position of the handle, it allows more or less current to flow. Similar to the volume control knob on older radios, etc.

Purgatory

Junkyardave

I'm trying to figure out the lighter square section in the upper right corner; The wall looks flat, except for that small section. It appears to be a different distance than the rest of the wall. Someone enlighten me, please.

Recommended Treatment

Junkyardave

A calming measure....if she needs it?!? The Thorazine alone should have made her "manageable", but with Haldol AND EST? And the Lithium amplifies the others. She must have really been in bad shape. Poor lady!
She was no doubt a zombie, if not out cold after this!

Passages

Junkyardave

I'd like to see the lower level, down below these beasts. Usually that's where the ancillary equipment was located....like oil filters, fuel/steam piping etc.

Woven

Junkyardave

Lubricator block. Each of these is a single lube pump, tubed to different points on the engine. The glass window would allow the operator to adjust the rate of lubrication by counting the drops of oil.
The small buttons in front of each pump allowed for priming the pump.
There's a long camshaft in the case below the pumps that operate each one.
