Firefighting pipes at the Tarrant County College Trinity River campus in Downtown Fort Worth, Texas.
Class 42 locomotive from the Floridsdorf locomotive factory in Vienna. On 21.7.1965 the 5519 made its last journey to Bettembourg for exhibition. On 4.7.1987 the restoration began by the 5519 Association in Petingen. With financial support from the Ministry of Culture, the final assembly could be carried out professionally in the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk (RAW) Meiningen in the former GDR after the reunification.
I think this is the crew station for the operation of ballast tanks, and trim controls of HMS Ocelot a preserved Cold-War era "O" Class submarine at Chatham historic naval ship yard on the banks of the river Medway in Kent, UK. Who needs computer control...! possibly the naval rating looking for the little valve with the blue handwheel. I would have liked to have spent a little more time investigating but the tour was fairly short. Seems to be the case now, post covid with a view to minimising groups in confined spaces. Well worth a visit though.
This valve is located on a pier, overlooking the lagoon, and I have no idea of its purpose. I posted one earlier in the year that wasn't painted..same location. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The function of this machinery was kindly explained by Mr Oboth from Zollverein.
We are at the coal washing plant where coal used to be separated from rock. The picture shows a detail of the jigging sieves. The general function: the mixture of coal and roch was sent into a bassin with water. To get rid of the rocks, the water was moved up and down by pumping in compressed air. The specific gravity of coal is less than of rock, so each time the water is going up, the coal is starting to float for a while. As long the coal is floating, it can be washed out of a drain. The heavier rocks are not floating and sinking down to be cleared automatically.
The photo shows the valves to pump in the compressed air.
The coal mine's output was 12.000 tonnes of coal a day. For decades it was the world's most powerful underground mine.
A spit valve on a very old King baritone. Has not seen polish in quite some time so wabi-sabi took over. It has beauty but nothing like highly polished silver. This is not spit by the way, just cool water.
