all that power... wow!

Kirk: "Savik, pull up the data charts on 'Reliants' command"
Savik: "Reliants command!?"
Kirk: "Hurry!'

The "clock" in the center should be for adjusting the output frequency of the alternators. Power line frequency isn't always at exactly 60 Hz at a particular instant, but it's adjusted to keep it at 60 Hz over long periods of time.

The square device below the frequency meter is most likely a paper chart recorder, to show the frequency of the alternators over a long time.

These were probably charged by those motor-generator sets in the last picture, "Bombs Away."

Yup, looks like exciter pickup brushes...the curved red bar on the left side that appears to be wrapped in something would probably be the field rheostat, for bringing the alternator up slowly.

Delightful

I wonder if you could hook up an old Lear-Siegler ADM-3A terminal to that thing

looks like the last thing you'd see before sitting in the electric chair

It's a Hamilton Beach malted milk shake maker knocked over on it's side!!

Those tubes near the ceiling remind me of the pheumatic tube system we had at an old department store I worked at as a kid. You'd put money and the receipt in a "transporter", flip open the end cover and put it in the tube to be sucked up to the third floor cashier department. Cool technology, too bad it's not used any more.

It's the back of a clothes dryer in the laundromat of hell

Pre UNIVAC days obviously - - and I agree, very very tempting. Would love to poke around in here.

Where old car batteries go to die -
