before the days of tempered water,it would come stright off of the boiler to the fixture,at about 180' F today prisons have one pc. S/S fixtures sink/toilet/drinking spigot all in one

wanna know a little sumtin? if you chip at the walls you will find what is refered to as "3lb sheet lead" as in 3lbs per sq.ft. it,s pretty common in X-ray areas....even today

it's (the unit) is call a cusipdor. Looks like a old "ritter" or maybe "A-DEC" unit. ran on 60psig med-air and 45psig water. ya see the lens in the light it should be sort-yellow/orange in color. some were blue in any case the coating is "rare earth" minerals and has a cash value. look for them on ebay.

Motts ...dont you find evem more sad that,after the state tossed the people that lived here out into the streets(some of whom had spent there entire lives here) that they died on the sidewalks of Philadelphia? You know Bensalem Police had a (unoffical) policy of bringing "homeless" people back to old lincoln Hwy. and the Blvd. and pointing them "Home" (North ..to southampton Rd)for years. you can still find many "wards of the State" walking around the strets of Philly. They cant bulldoze the place fast enough for me.

It's called treaded rod and it will carry more weight than you would think.
