LITERALLY!!!!

VERY INTERESTING PHOTO.

This shot reminds me of the bird cage scene in jurrasic park 3 lol. Very interesting

A lot of times these blocks were used in stables to be easy on the horses feet after a long day of deliveries pulling wagons.
I know of one of these stables now being used for a truck spring company in Reading Pa.

Can i be the first to say it, look blood, you ever see any ghosts motts?/

te heee, great pics motts

Found all the photos on this page haunting. I can almost hear the voices of the workers and the machinery operating. The value now, and for future generations? PRICELESS!!!!

kimex? are they too cheap to go all out and buy decent pyrex glassware?

it reminds me of a cathedral. stained glass. *points*

The room and equipment seemed way too clean to be a meth lab.

What lies beneath a cracked world...

Hi! Nice pictures. When I got a chance to go through there last spring, I saw the lab equipment too. The next day was told that people had been making meth in there. Part of the reason it's being torn down I guess.

the wooden (pecan) blocks were laid on top of concrete and were used to absorb oil, to provide a non-slip surface for foot and vehicle traffic and to also cushion the feet of standing workers. once they were too worn or oily, they could be easily replaced to create a new floor surface.

that is what's left of a chain conveyor. a moving chain would slide inside the track on the top and hooks (no longer there, either) would hang down from it at intevals. parts would be hung from the hooks and the moving chain would take them to the next floor orproduction operation. supported from the track and hanging underneath it is a metal screen which was there to catch any part that fell off its hook and to keep workers from getting hit by parts moving overhead.

Thank you Sir Motts for the amazing wallpaper

I come back from Key West to find new pictures, oh how you made me return to this frozen tundra I call home worth while!
