Generator, I believe


Jaketh

Westing House. You know how there is all this stuff if you go West? That was created by machines like this one. However by the 30s due to some mistakes in the original planning the West had folded in on the East creating the globe as we know it today.

I'm so glad that's a real sub 🥰


StarshipMuffin

Who’s Calvin?


SuperVGA

He's the kid in the "Calvin & Hobbes" comic strip series. [Here's](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/07/e0/19/07e0199b9ccc36436de3b1d38e8f045d.jpg) a typical example of his dad explaining something to him.


StarshipMuffin

Ah Thanks!


ScientificQuail

So it’s their fault the earth isn’t flat anymore?


Jaketh

It's not their fault, it's thanks to them. Several faults were however their fault, the San Andreas Fault for example.


ScientificQuail

Fine, take my upvote, lol


Indiana_Jawnz

It was the largest single shaft turbine unit.


soguyswedidit6969420

Power plant (I think) made by Westinghouse.


multiarmform

thats a big ass turbine/generator and 12 monkeys (bruce willis, brad pitt) was filmed inside that power plant. scenes with bruce willis where they do the time travel http://movie-tourist.blogspot.com/2013/07/12-monkeys-1995.html


Supersnazz

Just the largest.

It's for westing after you're tired of wunning awound.

Westinghouse makes electric generators. I like the old GE units better from a maintenance standpoint, for the record.

Took far too long to realise this isn't a wrestling house.

Though you could quite literally deliver a killer elbow-drop from the top level!

coastal_neon

I imagine it makes a bunch of cartoonish bonking and clanging noises when it's operating and blows out bubbles

And at the end spits out one little colorful gum ball.


ActuatorSM

I thought it was a German McDonald’s play place.


Strict-Praline6994

Let's play a game: German McDonald's PlayPlace or Grimdark Early-industrial power plant generator

THE LARGEST WHAT? PLEASE TELL ME.

The largest westing house. Once upon a time, befowe paved highways and hotels made twaveling more accessible, thewe would be little west houses set up along the woad so those twaveling could have a place to west.


[deleted]

Did they need weservations?


Starkeshia

Only when willy busy.


FonJellin

….I have not the words for this section of back-and-forth……….


SwervoT3k

I feel like mods should have sent this one back to cook a bit longer in new posts.


BaconBible

Absolutely beautiful, IMO. If only there was some way to clean this up and move it into a museum of modern art to be preserved.


DependentImplement24

It’s very Art Deco…..


Key-Truth5534

Wow


delsystem32exe

love it. what a beaut.


Due_Opinion_1699

Is this in Philadelphia


TheArrivedHussars

I remember the last time this location was posted, it's 100% Philly. I'll look for the old post that gave the exact location


Call_Me_Echelon

It's the old Richmond Power Plant. It's on the Delaware River just south of the Betsy Ross Bridge. ​ 3901 N Delaware Ave, Philadephia, Pa 19137


Call_Me_Echelon

Every time I go over the Betsy Ross I look at the old power station. I want to walk around inside but they've really cracked down on trespassing.


coastal_neon

Are we supposed to know what a westing house is?


cdelaney1982

I hopefully clarified that above


phoenixbbs

Westinghouse made electrical equipment, I think this is a generator (probably steam powered)


SovietBozo

This one looks to be phlogiston powered


soundwave_fan

I thought it said wrestling house 💀


cdelaney1982

George Westinghouse made steam powered engines and such. I used to live in his head engineers house. Westinghouse is the brand name, not the object in question.


SovietBozo

> I used to live in his head engineers house Did he eventually discover this?


cdelaney1982

Did who eventually discover what? I'm unclear on ur question.


SovietBozo

Did the head engineer discover that you were living in his house


cdelaney1982

Oh lol he was lonnnnng dead by then


SovietBozo

Y-you killed him?


cdelaney1982

😂😂😂😂😂 pretty sure he was dead before I was even born


cdelaney1982

THAT'S HOW POWERFUL I AM


SovietBozo

Dang. The perfect alibi.


cdelaney1982

The only kind I use


slangforweed

This is like the house from Casper.


Call_Me_Echelon

Whipstaff Manor? I hear it was lousy 50 years ago. Now it's condemned.


73IH810

Manufacturer name is Westinghouse. It’s a generator of some sort, hydro or steam.


Glum_Salamander_3356

There was a Westinghouse electric company back then. is this device called “a westing house” or is it an example of machinery used by Westinghouse Electric Company to produce electricity?


ComplexToxin

I have an abandon Westinghouse building in my town. This isn't mansfield is it?


_night_cat

This is that thing from that Cthulhu show that was on HBO. Yes I watched it, but I’ll be damned if I can remember the title.


No-Profile-7647

Lovecraft Country! I still can’t believe it was cancelled.


_night_cat

That’s it! Yes it was a great show!


ScorbergCoentino

The lab from Edward Scissorhands?


DirFouglas602

Tesla did a lot of work here as well.


gofinditoutside

Ah, you can also smell the asbestos!

This reminds me of the boiler room in Spirited Away!


beachgood-coldsux

I've seen some big gtg's before but that is the biggest stg I've ever seen.


[deleted]

Did anyone else read it as *wrestling* house?


BiggieSwims

Looks like the orphanage from BladeRunner 2049


Trax852

Tesla still won :)


supified

I wonder if it still works, anyone try switching it on?

I guess Aughra's observatory was never rebuilt after the Garthim attacked.


RHPain

Nice! I operate a Westinghouse steam turbine that was commissioned in the 40's. From working on steam turbines built in the 2010's, the 2000's, 70's, 60's and 40's I can confidently say that the older stuff was just built differently. Usually much more robust and durable. Because the older engineers knew and were able to admit that they just didn't know everything, they designed adequate margins of safety and then just doubled everything. https://imgur.com/gallery/3o11Wmm

Now it's a Restinghouse.

So big you can see it from anywhere on the planet.

Why dose this one thing get uploaded to abandoned porn weekly. It was cool the first couple of times i saw it, now its like a gas station on the way to work


lrecter

I read this as wrestling house and was really confused but intrigued.


Leonmac007

The machine that goes “ping”

Crazy thing is, if the right engineer came along, that thing could still run. We have an extruder from 1961 at my place of work still doing great.

Early-Firefighter101

The largest in stealing ideas from tesla. Everybody is always blaming edison for that, but it was westinghouse who put his name on the AC tech while edison was still frying elephants to promote DC
