Probably an air compressor. The drills and tools that move were run on pneumatic power.

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.

The "motor" on the tray is the rheostat--you push it to make the handpieces run. Definately Ritter equipment here! I can't believe that the cuspidor hasn't been smashed

Oh yeah, the rheostat belongs on the floor--you push the lever with your foot

Impression trays? Echh, hate the taste of that crud...yeah, it sticks in the memory long after the braces & retainer. Especially cause impressions for my retainer needed at least one do-over. Ewww!

I remember having to spit in one of those porcelain sinks at my dentists office when I was about 5 or 6. He was older than god and all his work was temporary. I was 35 when I had one of his temporary fillings replaced with a permanent one! And the smell of that room. Some things are just burned into memory!
