They all looked very well as if no rain had been over them, another hint that the factory wasn't as abandoned as it seemed at first.

Posted by IIVQ 7/2/2004 8:20 AM | remove   I think, but I don't know for sure, expansion vats (I'm not sure if this is the proper translation, I mean a little vat where a closed water heating system leaves it's excess water because of the expansion through heat). They lookes all pretty clean, like they'd been there only for a week. They had certainly not seen rain yet. Posted by TurboZutek 7/2/2004 9:41 AM | remove   Yeah, I think IIVO is right. Either that or hydraulic accumulator spheres. Posted by redangelkitti 7/2/2004 5:12 PM | remove   wow...another something new for today! Posted by IIVQ 7/4/2004 4:37 PM | remove   turbo: what are accumulator spheres? the same as expansion tanks but then for hydrolic oil? Posted by Rust 7/9/2004 6:34 PM | remove   Wow, the scale of that picture really screwed me up. They looked to be the size of apples. Posted by IIVQ 8/3/2004 3:21 PM | remove   big apples you have in Canada... I allways thought the big apple was in NY Posted by TurboZutek 9/8/2004 10:18 AM | remove   IIVO : Yeah, basically a sphere with a huge rubber diagphram full of nitrogen. Keeps the pressure on the circuit up. Can also be used as a spring / shock absorber as on many Citroen and Rolls Royce cars. Posted by IIVQ 9/9/2004 8:55 AM | remove   ahh, that's how they work... just drove in a Citroen DX/DS (forgot which one) aaahhhh *that is driving* Posted by TurboZutek 9/22/2004 7:40 PM | remove   I used to have a Xantia! ;-) Posted by Blackbird 10/3/2007 10:53 PM | remove   They look a bit like a Russian RGD-5 grenade, without the fuse and painted red. Posted by IIVQ 2/4/2008 9:25 PM | remove   naah, those are 1' in diam. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register.
