151 Comments for Wurlitzer Building

Welcome back to the "D" Mr. Motts!
I'm a fairly recent fan and love your work.
There are so many old decaying building here it's nice to see them being
photographed before they are forever changed or destroyed.

Very familiar with the tape, worked for the Railroad in 1968, IBM Punch cards would be put into a card to tape machine, and then the tape could be loaded and information sent via teletype.

Beautiful! So excited to see a new gallery!
Thank you Motts!

Great shots, it is easy to see you enjoy doing this. Thank you take care.

Interesting an open reel for a reel to reel tape deck. Use to have a few of those.

Hmm Spirituality ...........

Oh those wonderful sub-compacts. Never owned one thank God.

Beautiful picture. Always kind of surprises me that so many lights are on in buildings so early in the morning! Just me I guess.

Do you suppose the poor lone chair is down there, submerged, wondering if it will ever be saved?

Ah oh, that comment should have been with the next picture. Out of context here, sorry.

I'm fairly sure it a tape sealing machine. It wets the adhesive on reinforced carton tape and cuts to length.

This, in fact, is a paper tape dispenser. A pull of the crank dispensed paper which contained an adhesive which was activated with water applied as it left the front of the device. Then this paper tape was used to seal a package (box, carton, etc.). The length of tape was set at the side of the machine, and the glass bottle provided the water for the moistener.

Yup, I think the foundation is dangerous.

Pity there wasn't also a reader, sadly my code breaking skills have falling due to lack of use.

That could be a shaving mug.
