Hey Mr. Motts, I love your building pix, but these ship shots to me are the greatest you have ever done. I've seen other series of this place, but you have them all beat. Still wish you would get to some of the old Nevada mines. Oh yeah, was there any way to tell who built this big old straight-eight diesel. Woodward only made the electrical controls.

I really enjoy/appreciate your photos of old equipment like this. With your eye for these kind of photos, I wish you lived in Nevada or No.Cal., where there are hundreds of abandoned mines and ore mills that you could sneak around with your camera. In fact, there is even a ghost area (now only a crossroad) named Motts just south of Carson City and the town of Genoa. Relatives?

possibly more of a fire escape than a stairwell. Being detached from the main building, it would be free from smoke or flames should a fire occur in the main structure.

You could probably build a new small house today for what it would cost to replace this chimney. Love your eye for outstanding architecture and design.

No, they didn't perform lobotomies like that.

Did he pull 'hard' don't you mean?

Hey Matt, thanks for the very detailed explanation of a rather strange cooking device. I have never seen one of these and appreciate your remarks. It seems like its sort of an early or commercial-type pressure cooker, right? I wonder if the three different levels resulted in three different cooking times or temperatures. There must have been plenty of internal pressure to require such heavy hinges and latch wheels. Again, thanks.

it looks like its forcing its way through the floor , and someone *captured* it with the mesh.

yes it was a very funny comment lynne, wish i would of thought of it *darn*

this is totally amazing. It looks like everyone stepped out for a moment for lunch or something.

could the hole thing be for performing lobotomies?

JHC, I am gasping with claustrophobia after reading your comment! =8-o

My first thought was that the machine had been alive and was in an alien ocean and had been hauled up by a metal mesh net during a fishing expedition.

I will be readjusting my medication later today, if that's any comfort.

Ed, you the man! :-)

anna is correct. However, when the seizure is over you want to lay the person on his or her side in the "recovery position" so the relaxed tongue doesn't block breathing.
