Nah... Although, I did used to have something similar to that, specifically built for torture! :D Yes Jude, that coffee maker is ALSO a piece of necessary medical equipment!

Very good observation about the coffee pot. But what was this used for? Maybe for someone with back problems? Interesting!!

If I remember correctly, a torr is a unit of pressure (I believe they use them in blood pressure readings) related to 1 mm of mercury somehow (can't remember now, science was a long time ago!). Having negative pressure would make sense in a vacuum, and I think you found what that giant heat sink was for too! Those metal pellets... dunno. My first thought was mercury, but it would be a liquid at room temperature.
