Blue Valve Handles
2/20/2009 I noticed this set of blue handled valves on the back of the war memorial at Lincoln Hall on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. Unfortunately the memorial had not been kept up for many years apparently and the pipes all appeared to be rusty and at some places disconnected.

I found this collection of water valves above a doorway on the U.S.S. Drum submarine. I'm hoping that these were an addition made to support its use as a floating museum, and not original equipment. Battleship Memorial Park Mobile, Alabama
