I like the sharp starkness. Great contrast. What can I say? I can't resist your black and whites. :)

it looks to me like an anesthetic machine...

Looks more menacing in B & W.

Thanks Mott, you have captured long lost images from the past. This type of suction machine had 2 glass bottles attached.The right side was the first bottle to be filled and if this bottle got full the fluids it would then flow into the left side bottle (ball side),when fluids reached the ball , the ball rose to the top of a metal tube and block off the suction ,and the suction would not work. The bottles then needed emptying.The types of suction devices were used to suck up mucous, vomit, or blood, which would have occurred during a surgical procedure, or if you had an unconscious patient, or any patient that had difficulty maintaining an airway. These type of suckers worked either by oxygen (from a cyclinder) or by electricity. This one looks like it worked by O2. The suction devices used today are disposable , ie don't need to empty the contents of the bottles ( due to risk of infectious diseases etc ). These types of suckers were used up until 10 - 15 years ago.
