Day 16.218: Recycled fashion; old technology

Yesterday's outing was to the Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk - and all five of us went. Their two temporary exhibits are a fashion display made from recycled Blue Wrap (used as part of the sterilizing process in hospitals) and a history of technology exhibit. Both were great.

Some more Blue Wrap fashion

Much of the old technology items were things we remembered from our own or our grandparents' homes. Here are a few things that caught even Exile #2 and I by surprise.

This typewriter that advertised itself as the first time you could see what you were typing. An older model nearby would generate the letters under the roller and would not be visible until several more rows of text had been typed

We loved this sign from the early days of electric light

This was one of two electric belts. This one "is not recommended for general use" maybe that has something to do with the extra appendage hanging down from the electric belt itself?
