Sherriff Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Anyone have any clue what this item is? It's been in my garage for years now (12) and was in my grand parents garage since I can remember. Made in England, has air connections and gas burner and a gas type connection. Here is the complete item all together Here is the base with a burner in it Inside Base showing burner Here is the inside portion, top removed and pulled out of the base Close up of the gauge Another gauge shot Thanks for any info on it...

Pikeslayer Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Steralizing device perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeguy Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 my guess would be and old style tiger torch !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Like an industrial pressure cooker. The burner heats the liquid or material inside. The big valve on top locks down the lid and the pressure can be observed using the guage. My guess is the air hook-ups allow for safe release of the pressure? Any chance it was off of a train..or from a factory? Looks like a piece to a much bigger machine. Edited April 27, 2011 by Nipfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 something to produce and collect steam for a clothing manufacturer's press or a cleaning company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherriff Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I think Pikeslayer has it. Thanks. Either an Autoclave or a Steam Digester for sterilizing. Possibly dental equipment. Now, trying to find a similar picture online to date it.. Sherriff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammercarp Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Vul. Point- Vulcanising Point - some sort of pressure cooker for vulcanising rubber. That is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 You guys are all wrong!!! It's obviously a Flux Capacitor!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bailey Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 You guys are all wrong!!! It's obviously a Flux Capacitor!!!! Correct, used in emergencies to fire an inverse tachyon pulse through the main deflector array. It destabilises the surrounding subspace field and prevents a warp core breach.
