Incidentally, if the guages are working (and I bet they are) this system is still charged AND if anyone decides they want to poke around it, BE CAREFULL. Ammonia coming at you under 20 pounds of pressure will burn your eyes, salivary glands, etc.
Now I am really finished.
Ha ha ha ha...It DOES look like Wall-E! Yes, I found it to be a great movie as well. I thought I was going to get to answer the question of "What is it" but was beaten to it.
One interesting thing not mentioned; In most cooling systems when they are at rest, automotive a/c, refigerators, etc. is the pressure DOES correspond to the ambient temperature if it is correctly charged. Hence, temperature on one part of the scale and pressure on the other part. So, as a tech, you could shut it down, wait a while and check the temperature reading on the guage and get an idea as to whether or not the system is low on coolant (Freon/Ammonia etc)
Okay, I am finished, hopefully the reader of this is still awake. :-)
How about, a talented patient created this and the staff thought it would make an interesting conversation piece.
I don't see any need to drop the Race or Slavery cards here. *sheesh*
Forensic psychiatrists work with courts in evaluating an individual's competency to stand trial, defenses based on mental diseases or defects (e.g., the "insanity" defense), and sentencing recommendations. There are two major areas of criminal evaluations in forensic psychiatry. These are Competency to Stand trial (CST) and Mental State at the Time of the Offence (MSO).
My educated guess?
So, if someone is being evaluated for court after arrest, they would be more of a threat and the staff would probably get a faster response time from the Police to re-capture the "Forensic Escapee".
*Sigh* Thank you, Lynn my dear, for the most intellligent post about the images here. Thank you Motts, Sir, for reminding people to keep it about the pictures.
Okay, got it. I will go back to worshipping Myself. :-P
