It says "Flux Condenser", not "Flux Compressor" or "Flux Capacitor".
Condenser was the word used for capacitor in 1955 (and several years
later!).  This is more evidence of the uncanny attention to detail
these guys used when making this movie.  I'm still waiting to hear
whether that Honeymooner's episode REALLY aired on Nov. 5, 1955...
