I could make chicken soup in that thing
Maybe that was the British answer to a seclusion room.

My first job-I wasn't out of school yet- was @ ICR in Phila.
It was and still is a cancer center.In fact thats' what the "C" stands for and still does as it since has changed its' name.
Anyway I said all that to say this:I was around and had access to a lot of cool stuff. Bad stuff. Dangerous stuff. Peligro.And me being as demented as I am,well,you get the picture.
The job itsself was gross and disgusting-and I guess dangerous, but I was around so many cool people from different countries and the job itsself was easy going no pressure,although I think I might be radio active among other things.
And I did a lot of exploring and snooping around oh yes.Sort of early Urbex inside the bowels of a still living breathing building.
Chemicals,man I'm tellin' ya.Uncork an old bottle who's lable couldn't be read and it growls at you.Accidentally dropped mercury on a silver spoon and they amalgamated.(look that one up) Melted glass in bunson burners and made things like tobacco pipes.
Stole Sodium metal (oops I did it again),took it home and threw it in water and it blew the hell up.Killed the hedges overhead and released a cloud of hydrogen gas.(sodium is wierd:it begins hissing and melting as soon as you take it out of dry vacuum and it begins to react with moisture in the air)
These things were good for starters.

If it's only a dilute acid, then it's likely used as some form of cleaner.

Andreika-the person who wore these most likely grew out of them, or hopefully, recovered enough to not need them anymore.

Lovely symetric structure.

I'd LOVE my room in one of those turrets.
Either that or live in the dessert.
