      Don, You got it right. Why am I not surprised? I took the picture when were camping out at Arco in 2011.

    Definitely shades of Mad Max for sure. I’m sitting here pretty much clueless however as to its purpose. If it were from Mad Max I would guess some sort of mini oil refinery but you probably wouldn’t make it that easy. So… I’m going with “automatic file cabinet drawer opener”!
