	Vaughn These are phenol resin chairs. Tough stuff, but it does fracture. In this case they both broke where screws attached them to the steel chair frame. Steel screws, rust, semi-porous material, high humidity. Not a great combo. It's probably simply coincidence they fractured in a similar way.

	Vaughn That's pretty awesome!

	Vaughn Amazing just how quickly an abandoned building deteriorates.

	Vaughn The lights are fluorescent fixtures. I've not seen versions with so many tubes on them but I seem to recall seeing images from the abandoned Gary, IN post office before it got throughly trashed that were quite similar fashioned lights.

	Vaughn Interesting, it rather looks like an EMD 645 with the supercharger.

	Vaughn Sort of looks like a past arson attempt considering the layer of black soot 2/3rds up the wall

	Vaughn @joe Also many skylights were covered up for energy reasons during the 70's. An astoundingly huge number of buildings were butchered to lower heating costs during that period.

	Vaughn Probably something similar to a Teddy Ruxpin, though I can say without a doubt it isn't. The 'muzzle' is all wrong for that toy. http://www.illiop.org/illiop.html

	Vaughn It never fails to amaze me how rapidly a unmaintained space deteriorates. This facility hasn't even be disused for half a decade yet.

	Vaughn decubiti, oh my. Look this up in Google images. YIPES! Don't do so while eating or just after if you're the queazy type.

	Vaughn C-Note; Well, I can see the film gate and a guide wheel in addition to an empty focus ring, a hand feed crank, a motor connected via a small round rubber belt and film reels. If it's not a 16mm projector it is doing a good job of looking like one.

	Vaughn Too bad you weren't there during steaming. The se huge beam steam engines are beyond awesome while in operation!

	Vaughn I don't suppose this painting occurred after closure?

	Vaughn Interesting that every institution in the UK seems to have the same design for these hallways, and that they clearly don't do well when not maintained.

	Vaughn I'm waiting to see what Lynn says...

	Vaughn Boy, it's in pretty good shape!

	Vaughn These appear to be wire wound resistors or chokes. I'm wagering it's from the hospitals 'tinker' or parts bin. It's clearly been fully snipped from whatever it once controlled. Whomever last did the soldering on it wasn't very skilled either.

	Vaughn Crazy is an easy blanket term for anyone who appears to not conform with the norm :) "We must all conform" "We must all conform" "We must all conform" "We must all conform" Boy, I've had too much turkey tonight, or maybe it's the wine? Or maybe I'm not conforming? ;)
