Torr, millitorr & microns are used to measure high vacuum. A company called Veeco made vacuum gauges, essentially like a light bulb with a long circular filament that had an opening to the vacuum chamber. You had to have a high vacuum in the chamber before you turned the gauge on or the filament would burn out! Someone else hit it right on the nose: it looks like you found an old vacuum metal depostion system, where metals were evaporated onto different types of substrates. I used to do that kind of work / research.
This device reminds me of the scene in the film "Silence of the Lambs" when they had to move Hannibal Lecture and met the Mother of the kidnapped daughter.
Um...we have a place like this in Memphis. At the old City Morgue they used to roll cadaver down the chute to waiting hearses during the Yellow Fever epidemic....eery to say the least !!
this is the one instance in which the nitrous would make a dental visit even scarier for me. just imagine, with that stuff going thru your system a machine as robotic-looking as that may seem to come alive. killer robots, anyone?

Hey! I've taken a giant leap lately in my explorations, and happened to wander upon this crazy place today - it seems as though the university is doing some major clean up on some of the buildings, but then not on others at all. your shots are all I can find of it online so far, and I didn't go inside it so I only have a few. of the exteriors. I'll be posting them somewhere soon...Thanks for having created and maintained the best abandoned places site on the web. I cannot imagine how you manage to get around like you do!
