Yes - and rusted......very fine. Goodness these pictures...never-ending quest..

i see this little black metal square on the door-frame........
(also seen in pictures `Sifting Thru´+ `Round Table´)
and have no idea WHAT it is.
First thought it was The Light-switch.
Is it?
And...is that a Lamp fastened to the Transom Net above door? Too cool.
(Would light up in + out.)

Totally tubular? I guess. God, what is that thing?

This is my favorite from this set. such beauty in its old age. Thanks for the wallpaper.

Wanderer, this way they only had to chase the ball, not reset pins. I think they had to spin all the way around and then you got the points on the pin added to your score.

Maybe lab/blood spinner?

Wonder if it was anesthesia related. Kind of has that look about it. Black mask for the face and squeezable black bag to breath the patient. Multiple tanks and tubes for hookups. The metal valves look like typical medical gas valves.

Love it flushed.

Years ago I was at a rehab center visiting a patient and a patient, with paralysis from the waist down, was lying on a cart like that. he could use the large wheels to wheel himself around. This position took the weight off of his tailbone as a decubitus prevention measure. He couldn't steer very well, but he could move around enough to visit with different groups.

Yes Mr Motts the metal tags on everything in the hospital I worked in were for inventory control. If it was an electric piece of equipment it got a second tag that indicated it had been tested. This tag had to be changed as routine checks were done on the equipment.

I was thinking that exact thing Mica. Looks like that transom might not be in the best place if that table was handy to stand on. Guess that explains the grid in the transom.

What a storage room & the cart there, used at one point to transport items there. The white strips, I bet still had either room numbers or patient names on them.

It is very watery looking, I'll agree with the title.

Hmm, I just noticed, there is a light in the transom frame. I wonder if the patient was in the room, it was lit at night to allow staff to check on them, without having to turn on the rooms overhead light? Just a thought.

This a very secure storage area, I guess to keep wandering patients out & what was kept here in?

I wonder if this was a common design element for these type of places, as Norwich had them too, along with a few other sites on Opacity that Motts has visited.
