Sorry .. IP Morris was bought by Cramp and CO in 1891 and closed in 1927 - The site reopened for some time in 1941 but I don't see a final closure date.

Very cool, the manufacturers of the valve system on this are the Morris family of renown for the Morris Arboretum at the University of Pennsylvania. The historic building site where IP Morris built ship parts for the William Cramp Ship Co. (before Cramp bought out the parts making) in Pennsylvania is slated for demolition soon and the company closed in .

I vote on this one for a desktop theme ... don't think it works that way, but the juxtaposition of the industrial metal against stone is awesome. It makes me think of the Parthenon if it had generators and the ability to make power.

There's no ducks but I bet there is some Canadian geese ... oh wait you mean physically huh ...

This just makes me want to post 8 is great ...

The dot is really a very sophisticated survailance system for the canadians ... they really would appreciate if you would consider not breaking the rules or they may ask you very sternly not to break them again.

This spool makes me think of the tires on the old terex earth mover machines we saw all the time when I was a kid. We had a smaller one (only like 3 ft in diameter as opposed to some of the biggest that were closer to double that or more) in the yard we had filled with sand for a sand box, It's hard to image the sheer size of that spool when you look at it. That cable looks like it has to be a good 5-6 inches in diameter just based on the size of the spool. This seems much larger than your normal transmission line in diameter so these probably ran from the turbine to transmission lines or to a stepup transformer before it's sent out on the line to be transmitted.

lol I work at a non-profit clinic and knew someone who broke into a garage of a home with people there, stole a laddr, took the ladder next door to an occupied home and proceeded tp steal the aluminium gutters off the neighbors house. We also had a bunch of people that were exposed to vaproized sulfiric or hydrocholoric acid from trying to eat the patina off copper to make the metal look new, so I don't put anything past people anymore. If there is a cent to be made someone will try it

I think it would be awesome to make a building out of the corner stones and placards from old buildings that are being torn down.

Than that is definitely a great find, I'm kind of shocked no one has stolen them.

Loucie,

Looks like a steel top mixer maybe? The side piece on the left looks like a broken over spill handle.

Looks like they may have re purposed the room as an observation room? That would explain the meshed portholes and the transoms being boarded over/replaced.

That cabinet has camouflage! Maybe your drag marks in C are really this sneaky buggers cover.

Loucie I am not entirely sure that isn't a man with a poney tail which would fit with the ugly adult theme seen throughout this pamphlet.

fire extinguisher fight anyone? Even better get a couple rolling chairs and try having a fire extinguisher race!
