Canisters

I love this! I'm still trying to figure them out...pumps, air tanks, something with hydrogen?
Where were they located, Mr. Motts? It looks like a brick wall on the left-were they in the basement? Maybe nothing so dark...whip cream dispensers?

Mmmmmmm, Whip Cream!

=8-o

Yep in the basement with some other equipment that looked laboratory - research like.

Mr. Motts, your photo has created a world of confusion!
Can you date these canisters?
Then I could find out if they are bug spray or whipped cream ;-)

An unwanted vision by YOU, Me. Sounded like you couldn't wrap your brain around what Quest said, and that made me laugh!

I recognized that machine right away! It is actually a machine that measures respiratory pressures. The hose on the right was the part you exhale into, and the canisters were usually nested inside of on another and would be displaced whan you breathed. I can't find any links for this type of equipment b/c it's kind of old, but I am almost sure that's what it is.

My first thought was "Ice ceram". Upon reading the response by TT NYC , as to the respiatory part of it, it could be a DUI tester.

They call those tests "Pulmonary Function Testing". I have to endure them every 3 months. It actually looks rather benign in this photo compared to the hell it puts me through.
