    This is something like a 200-ton Sheridan hydraulic press. I can't find the name of this exact model. Robert is the name on the tool box at left next to the scope.

    Note the stack of what look like 16 millimeter film cans in the background. Television news reporters used to go out and shoot news and b-roll on 16mm film. The film would need to be developed and edited before being presented on air. Oprah Winfrey, for example, recalled her coworkers shooting news footage on a 16mm Bell and Howell camera while working in Nashville and Chicago TV news.

    The red steel column at right is marked as a fire extinguisher location. Ironically there are two flammable liquid storage containers and I don't see an extinguisher.

    I call the fixture with the holes for a forklift by a generic name: "ground support equipment." The pylon is protected against getting dropped or crashing into something by the fixture. By the time all of the bolts are torqued and the bleed air lines are in place, a part like this might cost in the six figures range.
