Dark -Star most people don;t appreciate it until its gone.

I'd say they were for kids to wash their hands and no mirrors would be appropriate in a convent, vanity being a sin and all.

I keep coming back and this is my favorite shot of the series. I

Such a beautiful place and so much history wish there was a way the could save this...

I know that a lot of times there were some sort of "protectors" that you could use for safety reasons in front of a fireplace..maybe there used to be something like that?

Duh! Yes Sandy, i didn't read his comment. My bad! Well, at least i noticed it hahaha! Sorry For the mistake!

Ah..now I can see how it is a loaf of bread!

Thanks Dark-Star and Ipn for the info!

Yeah..I always kind of gravitated to whichever side of the Church seemed to be moving people in and out of the confessional fastest, lol!

Mica..Yep! That's what I think, too. I personally could NEVER live the life of a nun..no way, no how.

It sure does; after replacing electrical components on some old outboards (stator, coils, etc) I can understand how these machines work a little better, although the scale is immensely larger. Thank you for all your informative comments!

Looks like tap changers on some of the transformer equipment in that old plant, These were used to change the output of the transformer and vary the voltage that was being used. Very old stuff, more modern plants don't have any open, exposed wiring or equipment like this. These tap changers would never be operated with the equipment online, it had to be shutdown to work the tap changer on the transformer.

End of the condenser underneath the turbine with the inlet cover removed. You can see the stay bolts and condenser tubes inside.

Uncle Steve is correct, JEY. These are empty feedwater heater shells that have had the feedwater heater coils removed and sold probably for the scrap content if the high nickel copper content of the tubes in them. These "bundles" can be worth quite a bit of money in scrap value, or be used in another power plant with like feedwater heaters for spares or replacement bundles.

Looks like the coal pipes that used to feed the pulverized coal to the burners of the boiler that have been cutoff either during moving out some large piece of equipment or starting to demolish the old plant.
