T.S. Eliot is indeed a great poet: http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/784.

"This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."

I like the way you think. I agree it is an 'Exchange' system as well. Generators, more than likely.

As an Engineer in quite a few disciplines I say it is, in fact, a filtration system. The pipe that rises upwards is a 'Bleed/Overflow' port similar to the air gap on a kitchen sink for the dishwasher. If your drain is clogged, the waste water comes out of the little cap next your faucet on top of the sink. This is an inefficient system that relies on gravity and does not supply a lot of water, by any means. It does make sense as you still would want a system that could operate without electricity, if needed. I could be wrong, and thats fine, but I am pretty confident in my analysis. Apologies if this bored you, thats just what Engineers do for no real reason other than 'It was there.' LOL

This would make an amazing album cover for a Black Sabbath-type band.

@ someone: Thanx for the info!

@Suasponta-- Thanx for the warning. ;)

Ebolavirus, does Zyklon really leave a stain? On victims, too, or just containers it's placed in?

IS THAT YOU???

Nice one Motts! Thanks!

I think a link to that post should appear on the front page, or at least in a FAQ!

That is a Russian helmet!

Nice ear cutouts. I almost thought it was a M-1918 helmet. Just cut out so he can answer the phone without smacking the helmet.

Police or Civil defense helmets. The stripe would have denoted the brigade leader.

The holes seem even, maybe there was a real sign there at one time?

The Germans were seriously terrified of gas, mustard or otherwise. They had masks for everything that breathed, including horses. (I have one of those somewhere in DETH Manor.)
