Construite en 1921, cette centrale thermique d'Electrabel (originalement Intercom) située en région wallonne produisait d’énormes quantités d’énergie à partir de charbon. Responsable de 10% des émissions de CO2 de Belgique à elle-seule, l’usine a été fermée définitivement en 2007. Étendue sur une dizaine d'hectares, cette centrale est notamment formée d'un bâtiment principal et d'une tour de refroidissement, auxquels se rajoutent des bâtiments administratifs et une annexe munie d'une turbine de secours construits dans les années 60. Aujourd'hui la propriété de la société WANTY, cette centrale et surtout sa tour de refroidissement sont la proie d'urbexeurs venant du monde entier.
This Mercedes 600 was sold originally to Nigeria, from where this has been purchased and bought to UK. The interior has very upscale velour trim, fully air-condition, and privacy divider glass between the passenger and driver, and an intercom phone to speak to the driver from the back seat. Unfortunately the bonnet cable was broken so no engine pictures
The vehicle details for HNH 600 are:

Bought an intercom headset from Japan and my helmet from Bangkok, and rented a motorbike during our stay in Siem Reap, so we were comfortable to go anywhere.
Taken w/ motoZ2play phone.
On floor: WEVO shifter, Peltor intercom unit and fire extinguisher. The transmission moved around quite a bit on bumps, and the WEVO effectively prevented selecting a wrong gear.
On far side, the ball-jointed arm attached to the cage holds two rally computers (Coralba Giant and Rally). The driver's display is just to the right of the tach. When running a stage, it shows how much time you're early or late, based on the target average speed you've set. (Coralba's Pilot feature). Having this continuous readout for the driver greatly reduced the amount of cockpit dialogue during a stage.
With the 911 speedometer long gone, we dash-mounted a large-display Garmin GPS unit for use as a last-resort odometer - not shown. (Murphy was a frequent lurker on our events, who for several Targas took a special interest in messing-up our rally computers and speed sensors. Changing to Coralbas helped greatly).
One pitfall we found was that starting/restarting the engine could drop the voltage enough to reset the rally computers. Installing a second smaller battery dedicated to just the navigation equipment fixed this. This battery charged through a diode so it would be unaffected by the current drawn by the starter motor.
On the far side floor, the braided hoses are oil lines between front-mounted oil cooler and a milk-churn sized NASCAR oil tank behind the seat. These keep the navigator warm ;-) And on one occasion liberally lubricated his footwell. Emergency triangles mount beside the seat. Hidden by the steering wheel hub is a very large red oil-pressure warning light.
The new tach is needed for the modified 3.2L engine in this car (power band: 5,000-8,500 rpm). Reprofiled camshafts produce more torque, with gear ratios adjusted to match. First gear is good for 100 kph/62 mph. On town stages, this eliminates several shifts on every short straight - a significant time-saver. In 2006, our actual times on town stages equalled or came within a few seconds of the factory Subaru STI.
To allow driving transits on regular grade fuel and rally stages on high octane, the car has two fuel cells and fuel pumps and can switch between engine management maps. (The switches and fuel gauges are just ahead of the gearshift lever). For engine management it uses a proprietary unit developed by the driver's company.
This car competed in the One Lap of America and Targa Newfoundland five times each, winning the latter event outright in 2006.
There's a short video clip of the car on a town stage in this same album.
Type ‘E’ cars (factory designation - 81-703) were developed and mass-produced in 1963-1969 by Mytishchi Machine Building Plant in Moscow, a total of 822 cars were produced; part of its were delivered to Leningrad (St Petersburg) where operated from 1964 to 2015. On its base to 1966 for Leningrad metro was developed improved variant of train model Em having three types of motor wagons: Ema - head coach (model 81-705); Em - intermediate (model 81-704) and Emkh - tail coach (model 81-706), all had driver's cabine. This variant was produced initially from 1966 by Mytishchi Machine Building Plant, then from 1968 to 1970 on Leningrad Carriage Works named after I. E. Egorov; 150 (130 - in Leningrad) of Em type, 32 (20) Em and 32 (21) Emh type wagons were built total. The cars of Em, Ema and Emh types were sent to Avtovo depot of Leningrad Metro and began to serve the Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya line opened in November 1967, and then Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya line, where they supplemented the rolling stock, which previously received cars of E type, and replaced the cars of the previous types G and D.
Further development of Em-type
In 1971 I.E. Egorov plant switched to production of intermediate cars of Em-501 type (factory designation 81-501), head cars of Ema-502 type (81-502) and tail cars of Emkh-503 type (81-503) with bodies like those of car No. 3894 but having three corrugations instead of two above the sill belt. Such cars were produced with reinforced bogies of Ezh type cars.
In total, during the period 1969-1975, the Egorov plant produced 202 cars of Em-501 type, 80 cars of Ema-502 type and 22 cars of Emh-503 type. Production of cars of the Em-501 type continued until 1978, and of the Ema-502 type - up to 1980 inclusive. In 1970-1973 the plant named after I.E. Egorov built cars of Em-508 and Em-509 types (factory designations 81-508, 81-509) for Moscow Metro. A total of 171 cars of type EM-508 and 62 cars of type EM-509 were produced.
Since 2001 St. Petersburg-based CJSC ‘Vagonmash’ (former Egorov plant) has started modernisation and renewal of Ema, Em, Ema-502 and Em-501 cars operating in St. Petersburg Metro.

The worst case of hoarding I have ever came across is at Glen's Hangout near Cedarville,IL.Not only is the house packed,but so is the garage,barn,and one of the old schoolbusses that sits in the driveway.You literally walk over piles of personal and household items to navigate thru the house.An interesting,but scary,location...
Even more frightening is the fact that it is a fairly recent(5 years) abandonment.....

This was a fun collaboration with Intercom for an article titled "How to run 1:1 meetings that work for 2" and this was the solution!
This speaker, along with many others like it, is installed in the Medical Center Annex building (former Manhattan Project installation) at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Some of the speakers are mounted directly to the wall like this, while others are mounted on brackets in a bi-directional configuration. These are connected into the paging system at Strong Memorial Hospital (across the street), and they sound surprisingly good for what they are.
An intercom (intercommunication device), talkback or doorphone is a stand-alone voice communications system for use within a building or small collection of buildings, functioning independently of the public telephone network. Intercoms are generally mounted permanently in buildings and vehicles. Intercoms can incorporate connections to public address loudspeaker systems, walkie talkies, telephones, and to other intercom systems. Some intercom systems incorporate control of devices such as signal lights and door latches.

This has to be the coolest intercom I've ever seen. This photo is taken at the front gate of an old apartment building in Sham Shui Po district of Kowloon and the hole is the end of a pipe that leads to the upper floors of the apartment building. To talk to someone in the upper floors simply speak into the hole and the sound is transmitted acoustically through the metal pipe, similarly the sound from your friend above comes out from the same hole. Simply ingenius!
I've seen a lot of Nutone intercom systems but have never heard of Talk-a-Radio. From the label on the radio, the company was based in Dallas.
Built in 1963, the owners of this 1,900 sf home in suburban Oklahoma City loved the initial interior design of their abode so much that they hardly changed a thing over the next 50 years -- we're talking original wallpaper, light fixtures, counter tops, cabinets, the works! It is such a gem of a home and will soon go on the market, and the owner's granddaughter is really hoping that someone who appreciates the home's great, Asian-influenced mid-century design will buy it and keep as many original elements as possible. I really hope that buyer is out there.
