Two lengths of wire (representing tubing) are mounted to run through the sides of the cylinder at right angles to each other, exiting the cylinder with rubber seals. Red rubber tubes run off the end of each wire and join a pair of soldered tin oxygen cylinders, painted silver. There are a pair of cross shaped joiners also associated with the rubber tubing; the rubber has perished in multiple places.
