I love that Wurlitzer at the back! I used to repair them.

Don't remember off the top of my head if that's a Wurlitzer, but
the jukebox is one of the most fascinating objects in a room stuffed
with fascinating objects. ( Lots of craftsmen's tools from ages long
since passed - the place reminds me of the barn on my grandfather's
farm, where he used to collect all kinds of tools. Except for the
beer. And the crowd. )

There are two glass tubes, one on each side of the front, that are
filled with water and where air bubbles rise thrugh the water for
decorative effect.

These pipes are curved the same way the front panel, as an arc
across the top of the front panel (the exact top of the pipe
is covered, so there presumably are some valves inside that
remove the air from the pipe at that point).

The funny part is the way these rising air bubbles behave inside
the pipe. Some times bubbles 'overtake' bubbles higher up in the
pipe, which presumably is governed by relative sizes of bubbles
and the amount of water between them. At the top arch it seems the
bubbles accelerate significantly. I never really understood if
they do that for real, or if it is an optical effect caused by
the bubbles moving sideways as well as upwards.

Let's just say that commenting on those bubbles was a certain
ice-breaker, if one ran out of conversation topics. As long as
one was in the company of fellow engineers, that is.

Thanks for the help!! I understand what was confusing me!
