Lots of updates recently! You must have some extra time these days. Thanks for these, very cool.

Looks like something to sort material by size. That, or it was used to discipline employees.

Hi again Lynnie! Perhaps you miss me for the examples that can be used in your psych treatise? ;o)

Yes, Officer Krupke
He shouldn't be here
This boy don't need a couch
He needs a usefully career
Society's played him a terrible trick
And sociologically he's sick

We are sick, we are sick
We are sick sick sick
Like we're sociologically sick

I'll be whipped for posting OT. (Like that never happens on this site?)

Lynnie! Why, I'm fine, thanks. Well, more fat and less hair, but still kicking. I hope you are well also!

Funny you should pop up! I was just getting a chuckle out a 2006 post of yours that I had stumbled back upon! *evil laugh*

And it seems like that's where all these ended up. In a men's room. These obviously didn't go over very well with the ladies. Men? Oh hell, we'll piss anywhere, we don't care. Well, an electric fence is not good. Almost anywhere.

The older drills had that articulated arm with a belt of sorts that strung through all the pulleys to the drill. It was quite funky. The rest hook is on this arm, and the drill was parked there. I was severely tortured by one of these when young.

That cyclopropane sounds like some scary stuff! Not only highly explosive, but real touchy to use.

Or the spikes are part of some kind of disciplinary torture device. Could ask the zombies in the building, but they pretty much just growl and bite.

Maybe the PTs kept eating the soap?

I'll guess the center knob is for the drain stopper. Separate faucets are nuts. Either scald your skin off or freeze your hands. I try to wash my hands fast before the hot water gets too hot.

Curves and odd shapes add an average of 20% to the cost of a building. A considerable amount, yep.

Yeah Dave, a friend had one of those space-dash Chryslers in the family. One of coolest dashboards ever made! Our neighbor had a matched pair of late 50s Mercuries that were two-tone pink and black from the factory. He kept them both in impeccable condition. He loved those cars. And hated little kids. (Me) :oD

Yeah, it got too cold so I stopped sleeping in there.

If I may clear the air on these: I rarely see these and have only seen them a few times myself. I know exactly what they are. I had seen them advertised in a 1940s "Motor Age" magazine, a trade magazine for auto service stations. Believe it or not, these were sold as a urinal for women to use while standing.

My only encounter with these in person was at the Del Coronado Hotel in San Diego, (California, USA). The rest room had been marked for men when I saw them. Having been aware they existed and never seeing one, It was a rare treat to piss in such an odd piece of hygiene history.

Thnx for all the new galleries Motts! How many unposted shoots do you have in the wings? At one point, you mentioned 167. Must be well over 200 by now!

Great use of a wallpaper sample book, yes. Does anyone even make sample books that large any more?

Thnx for posting Motts! This is the site that has the last two Hulett ore unloaders I had mentioned. You may had seen them on the dock. Giant mechanical monsters. The last 2 of 75 built, hopefully the efforts to save one will be successful.

Great shoot of one of the ghosts of Gary. Thnx for posting Motts! There's plenty of ghosts there too. Did you get to the steel mill? How about the Hulett ore unloaders on the side side of Chicago? They're the last two left intact.

That's a runway for the zombie fashion shows.

"Moving picture" show. It's some of that new-fangled stuff. I don't hear that one very often any more!

I want to stand in the center of that and jump up and down.
