MER[?] - Mercury Arc Rectifier {1 0f 3}
The Hewittic "Mercury-Arc Rectifier" for the Manx Electric Railway, at the Laxey sub-station.
[replaced by solid state in 2013, but has been preserved, and there were proposals to use the old substation as a museum]

I have just been lucky enough to be shown around the old Laxey substation {August 2023}.
It really would make a splendid - but very specialised - museum, perhaps open for conducted tours.
