I'll explain some of the components without telling you the actual use of said apparatus:
The black outside structure: It's a pneumatic antivibration table. The round shiny metal covered with polymer would ''ride'' on pistons that would dampen any vibration from the floor of the environment (Made by Harvard Apparatus Canada).
The big off white container inside: It's a dewar container (like a thermos in your lunch box) that would hold liquid air or liquid nitrogen or liquid helium. That type of container would slow down the evaporation of your liquifed gas by insulation from the inside heat.
Rectagular panel with knobs: These are for controlling the flow and pressure of the gas. On the right side there's 2 ball gas regulators for precise adjustment of low flow and 9 rounded knobs which are needle valve regulators (for crude adjustments).
The 220v cable: I don't think that cable belong to this apparatus, it seems like a connector box at the end of the cable.
Small grey twin cable with connector at the front: These are cables for temperature reading using thermistors.
Outside material: Used to absorb mechanical energy, i.e., high and mid noise from the environment.

Fantastic picture but what a sad waste. These were people's lives in there! And again I will ask, WHERE ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE!!!

Really, when you look around, this whole country can be very wasteful. So many people can't afford medical equipment and this stuff is just rotting away.

If they tear these buildings down, will they remove anything salvageable that MAYBE could be of use to someone else? MAYBE?

I want to know what happened to all these people; like Danvers, were they just pushed out? If they were really bad, they had to go somewhere,right?

Wouldn't someone just love to get their hands on some of those relics?

Everytime I see these pictures I always feel the same way; how can anyone just walk away and leave everything to deteriorate? I mean, what happens, do they just close down and leave everything to rot? What a waste!
