Maybe this was an emergency generator for the elevators in case of power failure it at least allowed people NOT to be trapped in them?

Turning on something like that would be something you might see on MythBusters when they blow stuff up....in a VERY controlled environment.

Don't need to have Southern Fried Motts around....we like your pix too much.

Yes, it's surprising there hasn't been a bad electrical fire that burned out of control in the places where the windows are all sealed....

.....it would be a terrible loss to the beauty of the exterior.

This room must've been SO BRIGHT when all the lights worked and were on!

What a treasure!

Cyrus, it's not only the things you mention in the lack of buildings that look like that. Architects seem to want simplicity instead of ornate features like these. There hasn't been a Victorian revival period as of yet.

Here are some pix of how these things are used. It is sometimes easier to understand how things work if they can be seen "in action."

Go to Search (top right) and type in "slings." By the by, notice the commode slings toward the bottom.

Don't make me have to come over there, you people! >:-(

This is a sling for a Hoyer lift, and that is a mechanical lift used to transfer people from place to place without having to use your back to lift them. Safer for them, easier for you. You can lift folks out of their chairs, onto toilets, into bed, into the pool, into the tub (or shower trolley!), etc.
