LOL, the Civil War talk popping up around here :)p

Lynne, you be TOO good, and you'll up and swallow your own tongue ;)

I've also never gotten the impression that plastic-type products are biodegradable (unless specified) let alone flushable. I use the little trash containers in public restrooms.

The preschool kids I worked with were collectively known in the classrooms as "friends".

...For some reason, I see this kind of notice a LOT. Maybe some establishments post it as a precaution.

Uuhhh...? Yes, I may have felt a bit traumatized by the fact that when I was in 4th/5th grades, the public restroom in our hallway featured stalls with no doors...at least there were indeed partitions...and enough of a wall next to the door that provided some small privacy for the 2 stalls on that end.
No, I did not mind co-ed restrooms in college-there were stalls (with doors!) on all the toilets and double curtains on all the showers.
On the other hand, if I ever catch myself being the slightest bit suicidal, I'll think of restrooms with NO privacy, and that may very well be what keeps me from it.

Lynne has acknowledged the past abuses we now know about-it was due to severe overcrowding and understaffing as a result of underfunding. Lynne has made several greatly informative comments regarding current safeguards and making sure that residents of care facilities really are cared for.

Thank you for the info. Matthew, its always a pleasure to read how the old equipment was used!

That is pretty interesting equipment though too bad this isn't in its original location. We are looking at the part that the doctor would be facing and the patient would be behind the screen. The dose is actually pretty low on this type of system however so is the diagnostic value. This would be situated in a completely dark room and the radiologist would have spend time in this room to get acclimated to the dark. The patient would step onto the location and a faint image would appear. These were very dim. somewhere in the range of 1/1000 the light intensity of normal work environments. Since the 1950's Flouro systems have used a device called an image intensifier which amplifies the light and allows it to be displayed in most enviroments. More recently there have been solid state detectors introduced that replace the intensifier altogther.

It was a common misconception at the time that you could shake the fat loose and the body would expel it. In a place like this Patients who were thinner would have been easier to care for.

It's an early form of a label printer the company that made them stil exists to day.More accurately it would be a stamping machine you could probably use it on anything from files to patients robes.

Cheers on the great photos

How about a little damn privacy, please?

you could diffently use this in a horror movie!!

When i worked at "little ceasers pizza" when used it to make the dough and grind the cheese. the top handle you use to turn the "blade" inside to scrape the walls of cheese. there was a soft blade inside the center for the dough. on top theres another smaller knob it is used to open and look through to see if the food is done . the name on ours was called BERKLE. looks ike the one i used in the early 80's. after years of working with it i had popeye" arms....lol....which the men seemed to like... ;)
