Definitely a chin strap, but I was thinking that maybe it was a restraint for patients who were "Biters"? I dunno...

Nah the words just popped into my head :)

Corpse Grinder! LOL. I nearly lost it when I read that. Motts, are you a fan of Scum of the Earth? They have a song titled Corpse Grinder.

awwww; this brought a tear to my eye.

Motts, you really almost made me cry with this one. You have some very moving and/or sad photos on your site, and I'm going through your galleries like nuts, but so far nothing even comes close to the shot.

Go figure that a picture on the Internet of a dirty old piece of paper with less than 100 words can hit you like a stomach punch.

@ mikeyintheoc - try having a disabled girlfriend. I see past everything she has trouble with and love her dearly, but she makes me thank God for being born with four working limbs.

Even if there's a newer shinier version, I guarantee you there is a child whose parents would beg on their knees for this old model. You don't even have to look outside the nation this place was in.

Good gravy and those are the NORMAL rooms?!?!

Just reading the comments here is an educational experience.

@Erica - L O freaking L! That would be hilarious to leave one of those on a gratingly loud person's desk.

Most heartbreaking photo I've yet seen on the site.

Creepy as all hell, especially coupled with the backstory of this site.

I sleep in one every night. Being a baby of 32 years I feel very comfortable in it. I find it strange now when I sleep in a normal bed and wonder how I ever got along without it.

That is a great idea. It would be great to have all of our speculations and questions put to rest. It would be interesting to see there evolution too.

Morphine, anyone ?
