I can hear sirens!!!

It does look as if it is floating.

Wow...
just wow.

Wow.
Reminds me of Beetlejuice for some reason.

what the hell has gone on here!! how sad!!

It reminds me very much of my junior high's locker room in the 1970s, in the basement of a WPA-built gymnasium from the 1930s. The only thing this lacks is the ground-level windows where the boys would try to sneak peeks at the girls (we just thought that was normal behavior for 13-year-old boys back then. I suppose today some would want to charge them with sexual harassment or even label them sex offenders).

Wow, what a ceiling!

I like the debris on the stairs.

Looks a lot like one of my pictures!

I find it interesting that there doesn't seem to be a lock on the door, especially for storage of temperature-sensitive medications. Today even Pepto-Bismol has to be locked up and not dispensed without a doctor's order! Was this locker in a location that was already secure?

For $10,000, and using the proverbial ten-foot pole, I would stick the pole in there, stir it up, and see what came out (provided I was also wearing full hazmat gear), but I wouldn't get any closer than that for any amount of money!

Maybe someone can enlarge the label on the front leg? That might have a manufacture date or other useful information.

I don't think it's a WWII bombsight. If my father were still alive, I could show him the picture and ask for sure, because he was a navigator on bombers in the Pacific from 1943 until the end of the war. Unfortunately he died recently.

A search for Leeds and Northrup shows that the company made resistors, milivolt pontentiometers (I have NO idea what those are!), and other similar types of equipment. I couldn't find any pictures of anything that looked even remotely similar to this item, however.

Apparently changes in the market (what's new?) led to Leeds and Northrup becoming part of General Signal some years back, and subsequently, Leeds and Northrup was "sold off piecemeal, mostly to its nemesis, Honeywell."

I was directed to a company called Process Instruments in Pittsburgh which provides "calibration and repair services" and advertises itself as "legacy Leeds and Northrup, Honeywell and Hagan Support." There is another company in Forest Hill, MD that repairs Leeds and Northrup equipment.

So...now we know all that, and we still have no idea of what this is. Maybe we could send a copy of this picture to one of those repair companies to see if they know what it is.

Uitgang is Dutch for exit
