This device sitting on the trailer got lots of attention over the weekend. People thought it was: a part for skylab, a booster rocket for the space shuttle, a still, lots of other things. 
This was my first view of it. Terry had told me what it was before he came home. It sure looked like a rocket when he backed in.
It's a giant silencer (acoustic silencer) for a giant gas pump at a pumping station in Michigan. I had never thought of a silencer for giant motors, but it seems they should be necessary. After all, we have mufflers on our vehicles to keep the noise down, why not industrial motors?
here's the website where they are built:
