A controlled burn at the former Seventh Day Adventist Book Center in Sun Prairie, WI on September 29, 2008.
The combination aperture and "weather condition" knob from a Revere 40 8mm movie camera, allowing shooters to adjust via either f/stop or prevailing seasonal conditions (Bright-Hazy-Dull/Winter-Summer).
The S-Trig input has been changed from 2-pin Jones to a 1/4". This just begs to be converted to V-Trig.
Control panels with a giant turning handle would dictate the motion on screen, with enough spinning making the LED piston "stamp" a coin and light up the otherwise dark courtyard and the stars above. Best installation of the night.
The old WW2 control tower at Shepherd's Grove in Suffolk - this was demolished a few weeks later. I was quite possibly one of the last people to go inside.. (apart from the people who demolished it).

Bridge control tower on island.
Barton-upon-Irwell, Salford.
When the Bridgewater Canal was built it had no locks, but ran on one level from Worsley into the centre of Manchester. It crossed the River Irwell on a masonry aqueduct that was built alongside an ancient, stone road-bridge at Barton.
However, when the Manchester Ship Canal was constructed (1887-1893), that part of the River Irwell was canalised and incorporated into the new waterway. The old road-bridge was replaced by a steel swing-bridge. The aqueduct, despite being much higher than the road-bridge, was not high enough above the new waterway to facilitate the ocean-going merchant ships that would be passing to and from between the Mersey Estuary and the Port of Manchester. A proposal to construct double sets of locks and raise the Bridgewater Canal was rejected on the grounds of a need for water conservation. A decision was taken to build a swing-bridge that could isolate a section of the canal and swing it clear of Ship Canal traffic. Both the swing-bridges were to be controlled from a brick-built tower that would be on an island created in the Ship Canal for that purpose.
Both bridges are Grade II listed buildings and are still functional.
