Your photographs are great Motts!
Your shots of the abandoned Eagle River hydro plant held me captive for quite a while . Reminds me of the times I used to find ways into soon to be demolished buildings. And some times it was with the blessings of the owners or the demolition companies as long as I promised to use common sense about where I went.
I guess those days are over.
Keep up the fine work . Any shots of projection booths and equipment are right up my alley.

Not that I'm in favor of rampant vandalism or theft, but I'd be seriously challenged not to pull all the parts off that set and reuse them for a restoration of the set I have. It doesn't look that bad but it's very heavy !! My set was purchased
from a theater owner in Utica NY. Hauling up the stairs myself was quite a task.
Their second model used the same basic case, but much smaller and lighter motors of different design. These are strictly AC powered 110 v 60 cycle Crocker- Wheeler motors which run at a resonant speed determined with condensers in the base and the later ones use Victor Talking Machine universal electric motors which will run on Ac or DC. Their speed is controlled by a 3 flyball governor.

Again , Great Work !

All typesetters and printers can read upsidedown and backwards.The tool used to put the type in is a composing stick.The case for storage is called a California Job Case.However,this type looks like a Ludlow,Which means each line is cast separatley from molten lead.then melted down and used over again.Typesetting is rapidly becoming obsolete.(or opaque,if you will)
