Looks like the military dishwasher I used back in Georgia..
Thats just like the dishwasher in my highscool cafeteria. Freshman yeard i had to work back there and i burned my hand slidding plates in, its quick and good though.
kurt, you're chicken... you should see the burns i have from cooking i've done... j/k long live the fry cook!
"Dishwasher safe"
Okay, I know it's a dishwasher, but at first glance I thought...crematory. Sorry, just my morbid side talking out of turn.
I worked in this kitchen for about 5 years. I stumbled upon this site, it's great. I worked in bldg 39 in food service from 82-87. I can't believe the state of the place now.
I looked at with a quick glance at first and thought it was an autopsy table. Then I had to go back and make sure it wasnt, haha.
I understand how medical equipment originally costing thousands of dollars can be left behind in these abandoned buildings, because it's obsolete and not worth the expense of moving it. But it always amazes me to see Mott's pics of food service equipment like this that's rusting away in boarded-up buildings. Any city of any size has numerous businesses that deal in used restaurant equipment; commercial food service equipment lasts forever and sells for plenty of money. Used commercial dishwashers, for instance, sell for thousands of dollars, and machines 20, 30, 40 years old are still in use all over the place.
I thought it was a security scanner...like the ones in Airports...haha.
We have a dishwasher similar to this one where I work.
I worked in the kitchen and food service section of this hospital in 1965 to 1969- after school. I mostly worked in Bldg 7, 21, and 22- but when someone called out in other bldgs we were sent there to help- everyone hated Bldg 4- scary people worked there and it was max security for violent patients- every ward had its own cafeteria to serve the patients- and every one had patients that prety much ran the machines. All I had to do was serve the food and some had life time patients that did that also-you brought the cart up, set it up and sat down and waited most of the time. Beat working after school at some pizza parlor or babaysitting.
looks like someone found the light switch
