This looks like something out the the hit AMC series, The Walking Dead. Where the words "Don't Open, Dead Inside" were written on a set of chain locked doors. Awesome shot.

I can remember my grand mother told me about tubercolosis. Now these days you dont hear a lot about it, if is'nt from an elderly family menber or some one that tells from the days that they were young. I can remember my grand mother told me, "There was a lot of sick people when i was young, and they had to stay at a sanatorium, and belive me, you dont want to goa to a place like that, Ever!"

But in fact roughly a third of the world's population is positive to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis. And is still on of the biggest healtissues in the world. Most of the cases are in poor countries, but as many immigrate from their countries they bring the tubercolosis with them..
And now with modern medisine, death of tubercolose is not a main reason, but patients with tubercolosos and HIV/AIDS have a bad immune system so their bodies cant handle the tubercolosis bacteria.

Sorry for my bad grammar. But i hope you understood what i wrote.

BTW, where are you Motts? Long time, no oppdate.
Best whishes from me.

Depending on location I would suggest that it is a drive unit for a submersible pump.

Without a doubt, a Payne elevator.

Rather than using a counter weight, the larger facilities with the need of more than one elevator used "opposing elevators".
The two elevators pulley systems were connected by a common shaft so that when one went up the other went down.
Notice the shaft on the left of the main pulley.
The motive unit shown in your picture is similar to a machine where I work. I would guess that it is/was made by Payne Elevator. But I could be mistaken.

Yup, a Cyclo-Flush or an Aero-Flush bed pan washer. The lids are made of stainless steel so the are of great value in the scrap market.

Yummmmm...steamed Lobster and Clams!!!!!

Just think of sitting in that chair with no novicane because some highly intelegent people thought that mentally chalenged people don't feel pain as we do. Having your teeth pulled out that way. Sucks don't it.

Looks like Lenin to me.....Maybe this is was a "Commie" hide-out...LOL

There were no gods or spoooooks here.just students.

They aint tiles - they are bricks - I went to the site when it was being demolished . you walked to the bottom of a stairwell like this one and there was a mountain of those bricks and rubble - . loads of new houses being built there now , in " victorian style " . But there are 2 blocks still standing that " may" be left and converted

I knew something was up. I went by there on the way to the Fairfax County Dump and the parking lot in front had a slew of cars in front. I'm glad that it was not razed.

Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I'm very glad to see such great info being shared freely out there.
