What is the thing on the bottom right? It looks like the Westinghouse Atom Smasher, but the protruding bulbs don't fit. Also they stopped using the Atom Smasher in the 1950s.

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.
