If you had your honeymoon in that tub and are now divorced, save a pic of the tub here in present condition and file it with your divorce papers as a reminder. hehe

I'm up before dawn these days so I come to this site in the silence to look at photos and read the stories about places, especially Gaebler. It amazes me always how resilient children are, and what great adults they become even after such abuse. Survivors are heroes to our society because you have a lot to offer kids who need to hear that life does move on. I've been through some hell myself & thank you for living through memories. As a screenwriter, sometimes reality is more scary than anything fictional. Love and happiness to all Gaebler survivors, you deserve it. Have a wonderful holiday season :)
I agree with Matthew M. This is not a tomography machine. The tomography machine I worked on in the late 1970's didn't have a ceiling mount so that the arm holding the x-ray tube could swing back and forth.
This is a general x-ray table for any exam where the patient needs to lie down. My clinic replaced one similar to this just four years ago. It was replaced only because we went "digital" (no film).
This looks like part of the old Picker machine I trained on in 1977-79. We used it for urology studies.
The room above is likely a darkroom for developing x-rays. The metal frames hanging on the wall had clips in the four corners to hold the film in place while it was dipped in the developer, fixer, and water baths. Then the frames were hung in a dryer for 20-30 minutes. To get a "wet reading" the radiologist looked at the images before they went into the dryer (usually for emergencies). The machine below the frames looks like the tanks that held the chemicals.

Father Adam Saluppo was the Confessor and taught math at Mary Help of Christians in Tampa from 1944 until 1949. He also took care of the Sacristy. I was surprised to see the pictures from his collection on this website.
About a year ago I was lucky enough to tour the inside of the crypt of one of Milwaukee's (WI) beer barons/brewing families. The outside is very impresssive. Again, not quite as large as the one above, but still very ornate.
The inside though was dissappointing. Just plain white marble.
No ornamentation nor carvings. No statues nor stained glass. In retrospect, I guess this is actually very practical --- after all, how often does one open the family crypt to the public?
