Tim Powers

It's a print dryer, but we discovered it in the gold-mining town of Randsburg, California. Tim Powers acquired the device when he recently bought three turn-of-the-century buildings in Randsburg, including the barber shop, which still housed a vintage barber chair.

Wet prints ride the canvas over the drum, which dries them. It's an obsolete machine, but newer versions perform the same function.
