haha my eyes were fooling me!!! its just a wheel.... :'(

Well hello there little action figure man! Lookey hes just chillin' there :)

Hello Clarice.

So silent hill...it creeps me out thouroughly.

wow motts! what an incredible series of "lone chair" shots. these were fabulouse.! every one of them seemed to have a personality. they are very animated and lifelike. Thank you Mr. motts as always your work amazes me!

Should ask mots can you get that film I will pay for you to ship it to me. I am total up to save films and have done many in my time.

16mm film is still made today.
I own new 16mm projectors. I will bet that film if not warped is in ok shap to show. I would clean the film first with film cleaner.If it is on unstable stock it might still be able to run once cleaned and checked. I saved many films from the 1940 to today. If it is a color print in on kodak film it is most or almost going to be red by now. Kodak film is junk still is today.

Wish I could get that can of film I would try to save it an up load it to youtube. Also the can looks 70's to me but I just got a bunch of new cans that look just like that one. lol

Thanks for the info Eleanor and GeneralError, it would make sense to find such a device in this hospital.

OMG I teach this right now... social pragmatics curriculum baby!

I used to work with autistic children and we uses Applied Behavioral Analysis to teach them, and we used task analysis to teach these self help skills. Kind of a rustic form of the ABA used today but at least someone was actually teaching!!!!!

These are similar to foot holds on wheelchairs today for people with severe disabilities. You'll notice that they can be moved to the left and right, independently on one another. Patients with atrophy of the muscles can wind up with hip dysplasia, when the muscles pull the femurs out of the hip sockets. One therapy to prevent this is to strap the feet into the appropriate position. If surgery was done, patients are typically put in spica casts today to maintain proper alignment for the healing process. These were similar, and could be moved further and further apart as physical therapy continued and muscles were loosened. Not a doc, but a parent of a child who has had TWO dysplasia surgeries, and we have a few similar looking contraptions under the desk, etc, at our house, to help maintain the progress surgery started.

This photo is so scary to me. I remember going there as a little girl (my father worked there) and waiting in the car while he ran into the office to get things he forgot, etc. It's really disturbing to see the inside. I am so thankful that it is closed. My dad still refers to his clients there as the brothers and sisters.

I viste this site often. When I was young I had the whooping cough and was kept in a crib just like this. The thing I find most aobut this site is the detail in the pictures. I veiw it more as art and I am glad to say it brings back no bad memories.

Sometimes you need to learn the hard way like me. lol

Pads to put under arm/leg braces maybe?
