most likely an open frame electric motor stator

Thanks so much, awyper, I'd love to see the place!

Not an AB Dick offset. No ink trays or suction devices. Clearly a mimeograph. AB Dick did make them as well.

I loved getting those quizzes, still moist from the machine. Look around and every kid in class is sniffing the paper.

motts, once this private company builds a new building for the county's infirm, ill see if i can get you a tour of the old building.

thanks for the feedback, actually i work for one of the last remaining county homes in pa, soon to be taken over by a private company. there are 3 drawers one on top of another, you have to have one person at the feet and one at the head and place the person in sideways, its a very small morgue, no exam tables or equipment.

I so agree with and appreciate Lynn's comments. Without ever caring for or meeting the types of patients that were in these facilities, and are in group homes now, it is easy to think of many of these methods as cruel. Tile may look unfriendly, but in the home i work in we have a low functioning client who picks the wallpaper off the wall and eats it, picks holes in the furniture and pulls the stuffing out . . . and eats it. Perhaps you see where I am going with this. Though these facilities are outdated in alot of ways i think they likely were better equipped to handle some patients than we are today. Putting patients in home settings sounds great, but just how well does fecal matter come out of upholstered furniture?! Not well, I can say from experience.

Proscenium? Not quite an adjective...

I would try helping you figure it out if you weren't so rude, oh well. When I ask around for some brains, I sure won't be asking you "pal".

I'll bet that when the place was still in use, there were cushions on those benches.

Check it out--it's the Ent Olympics! :)

Cool the way the trees grew on either side of the entrance--they look like a natural arch for the athletes to walk through on their way out to the field.

Add me as another vote for a calendar!

I know this goes against your code, but If you find contained mercury in your travels again, you may want to consider taking it with you.

In a case here in Minnesota, some kids found a container and opened it up and played with it. All three eventually came down with a severe case of mercury poisoning.

The health club I went to as a kid had one of these, and I played with it all the time. It was standard equipment at almost any health club back in the early seventies. Granted, there was only a small number of health clubs back then as compared to now.

I remember watching in horror as a very very large man used it once. I still remember watching his whole body jiggle in such an odd way.

I've seen some great photagraphers but you blow evryone else out of the water.

*ouch!*
