I wanted to do this in all trans-clear to be like a stained glass window, but I really only had the red and yellow trans slopes. :-( Everything yellow except the top and bottom rows are floating.

* Introduction
A long time in the making, as they say, and this it has certainly been. The link access to Adrian's Blog-
no longer works, and having contacted Google, who operate the Blogger program/application, and having got nowhere with them to remedy the problems, some one on the online 'Help' team suggested that the URL had been disabled. Not having access to his account meant I couldn't fix this but fortunately, in early September, a month after he died, I using the Google Cache facility to download all 5 sections/chapters of his Blog and stored them on my Workstation PC. Over the last week or so, I have been working on getting the complete set ready to host on my own, 'tightfitz', site and this required some tidying and adapting of the code to make it presentable without all the Google additions which, now he is no longer with us, were rendered useless anyway, e.g. the comments section and his email. This was completed, finally today, Saturday 30th November and his blog at the URL above is now fully available, via simple navigation page, at-
I have appended my own e-mail in case anyone wants to contact me or has any comment.. As stated on the gateway page, the blog content is a snapshot from the beginning of September but is of course how Adrian left it when he went into hospital for his heart operation which, although surviving the long operating procedure, resulted in him becoming very ill during the ensuing week. He died in the early hours of Friday August 2nd and was cremated at the Grenoside Crematorium on Wednesday 14th August; he would have been 70 on 23rd October, this year. I put a short, 'In Memoriam' piece on Flickr on the day I heard he had died, see-
www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/48440198022/
and since that time I have been working on an idea to present a video, a re-visit of some of the locations, which featured in his Blog but, as mentioned above, this vanished at the beginning of October. Fortunately, I was able to recover the material due to my expedience in making sure I had local copies of the material, this I have now put back on line, hosted by my own web domain, tightfitz.com at the address above.
* The Videos
During the ensuing weeks, the total time spent on the video, it has now turned into two as there is a natural division of the material, is currently around 35 hours and this doesn't include what I now expect to be a lengthy pair of narrative texts to accompany the two 'films'.
This first one, 95Mby/6mimns 9sec long, covers Attercliffe, Wardsend Cemetery, Parkgate & Aldwarke, Waverley & Orgreave and Treeton & Orgreave. The second, 82Mby/5mimns 20sec long, covers Parkwood Springs, Neepsend & Riverside, Meadowhall & Brightside and Tinsley & Atlas. It is another very great shame that just 2 weeks before Adrian went for his operation he was talking about some music he had heard which 'had speaking in it', with little else as a prompt I immediately knew, because I had heard the same material and been a fan for about 6 years, that it was the band, 'Public Service Broadcasting' who mix various aspects of sounds from the Second World War, as background clips to their music, see-
www.publicservicebroadcasting.net/
It was clear, when I commenced doing the two videos, that the music to accompany them would have to be from the 1st album the band produced, 'The War Room E.P.', and the two videos therefore have 'If War Should Come' and the 1st half of 'Spitfire' in Part I and the the 2nd half of 'Spitfire' and 'London Can Take It' for Part II.
So, the two videos are split as-
1. Attercliffe.
2. Wardsend Cemetery.
3. Parkgate & Aldwarke.
4. Waverley & Orgreave.
5. Treeton & Orgreave.
and
6. Parkwood Springs.
7. Neepsend and Riverside.
8. Meadowhall and Brightside.
9. Tinsley and Atlas.
which match the items, but with some additions of my own in a particular area, in his 5-part Blog, newest to oldest in order at
are-
5. Day Return to Swinton: Railway Edgeland in the Lower Don Valley, 2019
4. Fire & Water: An Upper Don Walk, 2019
3. Broomhall: Slight Return, 2019
2. Kilnsea: Edge of the Land, 2018
1. Orgreave: Landscape & Memory, 2018
Adrian was working on the last part, about a day trip to Swinton in the weeks before he died, which was partly based on a small booklet he and Ruth Midgley had produced in 2011, and was the basis for an exhibition of the photographs and poems at Swinton Library, that year. The Blog page relating to this is unfinished in terms of narrative text and maybe images too and is something I was looking forward to seeing completed; the pictures however stand up for themselves irrespective of all this. I guess re-visiting the sites and taking the pictures for the two videos which subsequently resulted, from my perspective, helped me towards trying to get over his untimely departure; I still had a lot to discuss with him and its a tragedy this now can't happen. The purpose behind the two videos is just to reflect what a good photographer and narrator he was and I greatly enjoyed his text style and flow as demonstrated in the Blog pages above with my introduction on the 'wrapper' page for the 5 pieces.
Taking the second 4 sections listed above for this second video, a description of the shots taken to reflect Adrian's work as it stood at the beginning of August this year, and archived by me, a month later, in early September.
6. Parkwood Springs. This is a return to the Neepsend area but now an over-looked part which runs up from the River Don at the end of Club Mill Lane/Sandbed Road, the latter area is shown in the 1st 3 shots with the gigantic 'Coal Bunkers' prominent. They were designated as such on the 1954 OS map, at which time they were long disused even though at this time the Woodhead line Electrics had just started hauling coal from here, through Woodhead and over to the Fiddlers Ferry Power Station. Neepsend Power Station was a short distance away to the north of here, right next to the railway line and also benefited from a connection with it. Here, a connection over from the Woodhead Line in the background, to the left of the grey/blue building and near the Parkwood Road bridge, to be seen later, was used to bring coal trains along the top of the bunkers, the area now palisaded off, and dump their coal into the bunkers. There are actually aerial photographs of this on 'Britain from Above', see-
britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/EPW015486
Showing the Neepsend gas works and to the north of the largest storage tank, a line coming off the Woodhead line, running lower right to centre top, the connection at the road bridge at the top, then passing over Parkwood Road and running along the top of the coal bunkers; a train can just be seen on the line. The next 2 of the three shots shows more detail of the bunkers with some of the 'fittings' still present and the coal line looks to have been present right up until after the war but had gone by 1954. On Parkwood Road, industrial buildings are still and have found new uses, the whole area is festooned with one sort of modern business or another; the coal line bridge over the road would have been just here, but there is no sign of it. A shot into the coal bunker area on Parkwood Road shows the large retaining wall next to the footpath and the new industrial building standing on the old site where once the coal line spayed out in to sidings one running along the top of the bunkers. In the next pair of shots, the scene looks back along Parkwood Road to Neepsend and the city centre with St. Pauls Tower just visible in the June 24th misty weather. Neepsend Station was situated next to where the the line of cars are parked and there's a footbridge, hidden by the tree growth, which takes walkers over to Wallace Road and Parkwood Springs. All the Neepsend gas installations which once dominated this area, as seen at the above link, have now been dismantled and the site cleared. Two shots of the Leaf cleaning 'trains' on duty in two different years, the first is from 2nd November, 2011 and shows a pair of D.R.S. class 20s, 20312 at the front with 20302 at the back, now both defunct, on the 3S13, Sheffield via Neepsend to Stocksbridge Works RHTT train, spraying the line for the benefit of the nightly steel train here, not for passenger benefit! The second, taken after the DRS 20s stopped running up the branch to Stocksbridge, on 31st October last year, 2018, is a new piece of kit based on a Land Rover vehicle and operated out of the Blast Lane Depot near the old Sheffield Victoria site. The vehicle sprays citrus liquid to dissolve the leaf gunk and runs up and down 3 times a week on the old DRS diagrams, but just for this section of track, taking around 2 hours to complete the work. Pictures of this were featured here for 2018, see-
www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/44222777445/
and from the SandRover crew last year when paused at Deepcar on reversal-
'...SandRover' vehicle and at last fulfilling the need to see what this set was up to.. Further word had it that next year... wait for it.. this might well be deployed in the Swinton/Mexborough area on the passenger lines, meaning of course it would have to run overnight after the passenger services had finished and presumably slotted in between any over-night freight moves on the the Midland Main line and old GC sections. The Oughtibridge Station building was long derelict but it is now occupied and new housing has also filled out the station site area on this side of the main road and on the access area to the old Brickworks on the other side of the main road...'
and at Oughtibridge when their vehicle had to be removed from the track due to over-heating equipment.
The final shot in this section, for amusement only, as I headed back towards Club Mill Lane and the car, parked on Sandbed Road, by sheer fluke I guess, the driver of a 'DX, Delivered Exactly' has parked with the back of the van right next to a pile of filth which someone has chosen to deposit there, before the van arrived I assume, priceless..
7. Neepsend and Riverside. A large section of the video which relates closely to Adrian's also long section of the Blog, 'Fire & Water: An Upper Don Walk, 2019', the length of which he mentioned to me as if seeking an answer; we discussed splitting it up into two parts, but it was never resolved. Adrian's success with the Blog was borne out of a wish, talked over with me over a year ago, to dispense with the 'Flickr Format' of 'one picture after another' and he hoped to find a way of presenting his material which was more like a 'book about something', rather than the former. He succeeded I thought, but the 'Fire & Water' section wasn't quite how he wanted to present the material, there being too many pictures, 135, for his liking. I am sure there would have been a way to separate these better and nothing was done about it before he moved on to, what was to be, his final section, 'Day Return to Swinton: Railway Edgeland in the Lower Don Valley, 2019' which never got finished, in terms of narrative text but even here, there were 65 items. My 'Re-Visit Part II' for the 'Fire & Water' set has 30 pictures, taken on a bright, warm day in September, and did make me feel a little better about things, to be out thinking about what he originally saw as good material over the last 3 decades. The first 10 or so pictures in the first section of his Blog deals with the Sheffield flooding in 2007 and he was out with the camera photographing the shots which now appear in this section, forming a 'Prosaic', as the title suggests, document of what happened at that time, they fit in very well here, though I am sure he wouldn't have had the word 'Blog' in his mind at that time. The first 8 pictures of mine were all photographed in the same area, at the junction of Neepsend Lane & Rutland Road where there is plenty to see along with the 'Cutlery Works' food hall and the 'Gardeners Rest' pub, both on the north bank of the River Don and the latter name coming from where the men who used to work in Neepsend Engine Shed, close by, could come and relax and have the odd pint. At left is Samuel Osborn & Co. Ltd. Insignia Works on the north bank and the River side here looks splendid. The tall building, ex-Canon Brewery stands out, now graffiti'd and still not re-developed withy the 'Cutlery Works' now an attractive, family-oriented and welcome place to while away a few hours; its a very great surprise that Adrian never suggested coming here as I knew nothing about it until taking these pictures. For this section in particular, I have tried to mimic the views and feel of Adrian's shots which were taken between 2018 and 2019 and in particular, although he didn't photograph a crew of training boatmen on the Don outside the Cutlery Works, I felt when I took this that this is what he would have done; all fortuitous of course. The next 6 shots are around the Love Street/Love Square area and the 1st, with the distinctive 'CRANES' sign on the gate is a bit of a puzzle as the text for his picture indicates the gates were removed, but if they were, they were restored later. In the background, is the court house behind the gate in the background, the tall building was once the old Sheffield Workhouse, then 'The Doss House' and now, 'Mayfair Court', re-developed into flats, a comparison shot is here-
www.flickr.com/photos/imarch2/49582810218/
The road leading past the gates is Love Street, seen in the picture at the link above, and this road leads to Love Square, a little further east at the other end of the road where hoardings picture the area as once it was, the gateway to 'The Valley of Beer', the whole lot situated in a small pleasant area with seats. Two shots of the Riverside area where the Mark Cooper plaque is to be found and relates to his death and the flooding which took place after Dale Dyke Dam burst in March 1864, though he didn't die directly from this event, more details in the 1st section of the 'Fire & Water' Blog. The area at the other side of Corporation Street around 'The Fat Cat' pub area is now festooned with new business and residential premises and the development is still on-going. Kelham Island Industrial Museum is there and respectable amount of eating/drinking establishment. Thankfully, many of the old buildings have or are being renovated for modern purposes so there is still plenty to see, a not complete list would be- 'Canon Brewery', 'Samuel Osborn & Co. Ltd. Insignia Works', 'Woollens for Signs', 'Globe Steel Works', 'Kelham Island Industrial Museum', 'Britannia Works', 'Eagle Works', 'Green Lane Works', 'Cornish Place Works', 'Wharncliffe Works', 'Clarence Works', 'Lion Works', 'Albyn Works', 'Hallamshire Steel Works', 'Old Park Rolling Mill', 'The Farfield Inn' & 'The Cutlery Works', the latter now an excellent eatery. The Canon Brewery, across the road from the 'Cutlery Works', still stands, graffiti'd and ready for development but little is happening at this time. During a visit for food and drink at the 'Cutlery Works' one Sunday, some characters on bicycles passed by cycling towards the 'Canon Brewery' and provided a bit of a show of their cycling expertise... On Bardwell Street across from 'The Gardeners Rest' and 'The Cutlery Works' is the 'Hallamshire Steel Works' on the left and opposite, a re-purposed part of one of the buildings, the ever popular, 'The House Skatepark'. The picture in the video shows a bustling selection of folk at the venue and its a busy place with skate noise and music drifting into the surround area, not for the feint-hearted I guess, or the local residents, but maybe not so... Adrian has an enviable negative collection of Rail-related matters and some of these feature in this 'Fire and Water' Blog, there are also a number of derelict rail building included, especially, for me, the one at Bridgehouses which when photographed in 1984/5 were undergoing demolition. This whole area has changed dramatically and some shots which I took this year were included in the 'Views in Camera 2019 video', see-
www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/48067544842/
from the point 17m35s t0 19m35s. The others are all from negatives by 'unknown photographers' and represent a valuable addition to this Blog page.
8. Meadowhall and Brightside. Moving on and a shift now eastwards towards Meadowhall & Brightside, followed by Tinsley and Atlas. The very first picture in this section, of mine, was taken as it so aptly reflected, again, on the type of shot I know Adrian would have been interested in taking. I am not sure what the yellow-spotted brown elephant represents, doesn't appear to be anything to do with the outfit at the back but, you never know... Serendipitously, as I prepared to get the next shot, to match the second one on the, 'Day Return to Swinton: Railway Edgeland in the Lower Don Valley, 2019', Blog page, this guy appeared on cue and was happy to be included in the shot. Unfortunately, tree and shrubbery growth have prevented an exact match for the point-of-view compared to the one Adrian used, further up the bank above Meadowhall Station, but even so! The Tinsley Cooling Towers, such iconic buildings right next to the M1, the 250 feet(76m) towers were demolished at 03:00 BST, on 24th August 2008 and their absence changes the background of the shot markedly.. In recent months, the area around the Blackburn Valley line just north of Meadowhall Interchange, has had green palisade fencing erected at the top of the steep bank and it, along with burgeoning vegetation, has mad it difficult to get shots here, other than the one shown. Heading towards the interchange is a Northern Rail class 158, 158792, on the 2N10 Leeds via the Blackburn Valley Line to to Sheffield Midland. The elephant's backside appears to be a match for the 'Brocklebank Ltd' HGV which is full of aggregate material heading towards the north end of Meadowhall. The GCR's old line up the Blackburn Valley, now a walking track all the way up to Chapeltown, is off to the left behind the camera, starting at the top of what is now the large 'Travelodge' car park, built on the remaining trackbed which connected the line to the GCR's Woodburn to Mexborough line along the Lower Don Valley, which still exists of course. Moving further east to Brightside in the area close to the River Don and the large bridge connection the Sheffield District Railway's line from Treeton Junction to Brightside Junction. The first show the large girder bridge of their old track-bed crossing the road having just traversed the River Don and passing behind the large Sheffield Forgemasters River Don Works over on the left. Two views of the works, with a window onto the site shows their emblem and from the front of the works, on Attercliffe Road, Adrian took a picture of the same emblem, in white, sometime in the last few years. Various parts of the old Brightside Steelworks remain, and the arches feature here, and elsewhere, this first one a remnant of the merged works of William Jessop & Sons and J.J. Saville & Co, which became Jessop Saville and subsequently taken over by Firth Vickers; all very well known names in this area. The Riverside view through the arch looks towards Brightside Lane where the works of Sheffield Forgemasters continue to operate are are the largest of such businesses in the area. Across the river, yet another animal can be spotted, stood looking over the River Don on the frontage of 'Gripple Wire Ltd' though, again, not sure why they have a multi-coloured, spotted, cow outside the back of the building looking over the river. More scenes of the new-build businesses at the side of Hadfields Weir, Hadfields East Hecla Works being demolished in the 1990s to make way, ultimately, for the Meadowhall Shopping Centre, next to the 'Gripple Ltd' building and finally the substantial S.D.R's, Sheffield District Railway, bridge over the River Don along Weedon Street. Only some of Adrian's shots feature in this section, there are others in the 'Attercliffe' section of Part I, published on Flickr yesterday. It was tricky in some respects knowing which pictures to put where as this, the 'Day Return to Swinton' Blog covers such a long, but narrow, area of landscape from Sheffield to Swinton itself.
9. Tinsley and Atlas. Further east still and the other side of the River Don at Tinsley, before turning finally back west to the area of Atlas, just outside Sheffield, the last section of this long, 2-part video set. The first shot looks west over the Tinsley Viaduct with the local, A631, road on the lower deck and the M1 on the upper deck with a clutch of bright HGV goods lorries brightening things up. Heading over Blackburn Meadows Way is a 'First Bus' en-route from Sheffield to Maltby, Quilter Road, and advertising 'Judy - A Star is Born' on the side... not heard of the road or the film.. The side of the new road has already been graffiti'd and the Sheffield Tram/Train runs just to the left of the tree poking into the picture at left. Recent heavy rain has already made a small canal out of the low ground between the road bridge wall and the edge of the railway embankment carrying the Lower Don Valley line between Woodburn Junction and Mexborough; the Tram Train uses the Tinsley-Meadowhall to Parkgate Retail, electrified section of the line. Recent developments here, after the demise of the Tinsley Cooling Towers in August 2008, has seen the site being redeveloped by EoN into a dramatic looking Biomass facility, a combined heat and power plant at Blackburn Meadows which uses recycled waste wood from the surrounding area to power 40,000 homes. The last shots here reflect aspects of the new site and one of them matches Adrian's shot taken in 2018, with no traffic on the new 'Blackburn Meadows Way'. Opened in December, 2016 to ease traffic congestion on the southern Tinsley Roundabout and provide better passenger transport links between Sheffield and the east; traffic density however is still very light. At the eastern end of the site, the Blackburn Meadows Sewage Works continues with its cleaning operation, as it has done for decades, the clean water finding its way into the River Don. The Sewage Works site extends across both sides of the River Don, access being made across the river using the old Jordan, single track railway bridge which saw some refurbishment when the works expanded its operation back onto its old site. Moving back west now towards Sheffield and a look at two of the interesting 'artifacts' which were spotted whilst photographing all the other material and must have passed by these son many times without actually 'seeing' them. The first 3 are shots of another archway, removed from the Brightside Works area to here at Atlas, and is the 'Thomas Firth & Sons Ltd., Siemens Dept' gateway arch. It has been cleaned, thankfully, and looks rather splendid now set amidst local new-build businesses. In usual 'Wynn fashion' there was even a shot I am sure he would have taken, with an advertising board on the side of the red-brick building next door, 'President Buildings', another good example of the quality of the building which used to be erected here in the past. And finally, the last shot, 'Don Valley House' which has undergone some refurbishment in the past and is now used by the local council as offices. At the rear, the long stretch of the Norfolk Railway Arches can be seen whilst atop, heading towards Sheffield, a Northern Rail class 170, 'Turbostar', 170478, on the now regular Bridlington to Sheffield service, this one 1J45; they now appear also to have extended the service at the weekends to go as far as Scarborough. This last shot is a multi-par, 4, composite, to include all the aspects of the scene which were going on during the half hour or so I was here and is meant to reflect the people, place and type of local infrastructure which, like elsewhere, has been carefully retained. Although, it has to be said, some of it wasn't retained at all but wantonly destroyed in the mayhem and frenzy which occured in the 1980s when the industrial heart of the place was stripped away and new meaning and work had to be found for the folk who had lived and worked here for a hundred years or more...

One TTL flash, tethered via an TTL cable (10 meters, for Canon, from Yongnuo).
I tried two new light formers here:
1. Traveller8: not my cup of tea (spot too small, light too hard, needs a lot of tape for fixation -- the rubber band does not hold the tool on my flash)
2. Lastolite Mini brolly, 50 cm diameter: works, the shot above was shot with that tool

Fashion design is the art of the application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion design is influenced by cultural and social latitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories such as bracelets and necklace, because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market, must at times anticipate changing consumer tastes.
Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They must consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and a wide range of colors, patterns and styles to choose from. Though most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions such as evening wear or party dresses.
Some clothes are made specifically for an individual, as in the case of haute couture or bespoke tailoring. Today, most clothing is designed for the mass market, especially casual and every-day wear.
Structure[edit]
Fashion designers can work in a number of many ways. Fashion designers may work full-time for one fashion as 'in-house designers' which owns the designs. They may work alone or as part of a team. Freelance designers work for themselves, selling their designs to fashion houses, directly to shops, or to clothing manufacturers. The garments bear the buyer's label. Some fashion designers set up their own labels, under which their designs are marketed. Some fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual clients. Other high-fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department stores. These designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established fashion trends. Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men’s, women’s, and children’s fashions for the mass market. Large designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Justice, or Juicy are likely to be designed by a team of individual designers under the direction of a designer director.
Designing a garment[edit]
Fashion designers work in different ways. Some sketch their ideas on paper, while others drape fabric on a dress form. When a designer is completely satisfied with the fit of the toile (or muslin), he or she will consult a professional pattern maker who then makes the finished, working version of the pattern out of card or via a computerized system. The pattern maker's job is very precise and painstaking. The fit of the finished garment depends on their accuracy. Finally, a sample garment is made up and tested on a model to make sure it is an operational outfit.
Fashion design is generally considered to have started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first designer to have his label sewn into the garments that he created. Before the former draper set up his maison couture (fashion house) in Paris, clothing design and creation was handled by largely anonymous seamstresses, and high fashion descended from that worn at royal courts. Worth's success was such that he was able to dictate to his customers what they should wear, instead of following their lead as earlier dressmakers had done. The term couturier was in fact first created in order to describe him. While all articles of clothing from any time period are studied by academics as costume design, only clothing created after 1858 are considered as fashion design.
It was during this period that many design houses began to hire artists to sketch or paint designs for garments. The images were shown to clients, which was much cheaper than producing an actual sample garment in the workroom. If the client liked their design, they ordered it and the resulting garment made money for the house. Thus, the tradition of designers sketching out garment designs instead of presenting completed garments on models to customers began as an economy.
The garments produced by clothing manufacturers fall into three main categories, although these may be split up into additional, more specific categories
Haute couture[edit]
Main article: Haute couture
Until the 1950s, fashion clothing was predominately designed and manufactured on a made-to-measure or haute couture basis (French for high-sewing), with each garment being created for a specific client. A couture garment is made to order for an individual customer, and is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric, sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Look and fit take priority over the cost of materials and the time it takes to make.[1][2] Due to the high cost of each garment, haute couture makes little direct profit for the fashion houses, but is important for prestige and publicity.[3]
Ready-to-wear (pret-a-porter)[edit]
Main article: Ready-to-wear
Ready-to-wear clothes are a cross between haute couture and mass market. They are not made for individual customers, but great care is taken in the choice and cut of the fabric. Clothes are made in small quantities to guarantee exclusivity, so they are rather expensive. Ready-to-wear collections are usually presented by fashion houses each season during a period known as Fashion Week. This takes place on a city-wide basis and occurs twice a year. The main seasons of Fashion Week include, spring/summer, fall/winter, resort, swim, and bridal.
Mass market[edit]
Main article: Mass market
Currently the fashion industry relies more on mass market sales. The mass market caters for a wide range of customers, producing ready-to-wear garments using trends set by the famous names in fashion. They often wait around a season to make sure a style is going to catch on before producing their own versions of the original look. In order to save money and time, they use cheaper fabrics and simpler production techniques which can easily be done by machine. The end product can therefore be sold much more cheaply.[4][5][6]
There is a type of design called "kutch" design originated from the German word "kitschig" meaning "ugly" or "not aesthetically pleasing." Kitsch can also refer to "wearing or displaying something that is therefore no longer in fashion."[7] Often, high-waisted trousers, associated with the 1980s, are considered a "kitsch" fashion statement.[8]

3. Aluminum Casting and Rolling Machine Brief technological process:
3.1
3.2 Aluminum liquid or compounded aluminum flows from the holding furnace through the launder to the belt continuous casting machine to cast the molten aluminum into trapezium ingot with a section of 2400mm2, then shear the substandard aluminum ingot, press the front part small, and feed it into the 15 rolling stands to manufacture al. rod with a dia. of 9.5mm. The stand (can also be bought from us) which will loop it.
4. Aluminum Casting and Rolling Machine Component parts and structural features:
4.1. Continuous casting machine:
Belt continuous casting machine consists of crystallizing wheel, driving device, press roll device, steel belt greasing device, guide bridge, steel belt tensioner, external cooling inject, steel belt, etc.
The melt aluminum flows from the holding furnace through the launder to the pouring groove, the floating head of the plug controls the flow of the al. liquid, the liquid is poured into the cavity formed by the crystallizing wheel and the sealed belt. The whole pouring groove can be moved up and down driving by the power of motor. Worm gear reducer and screw pair. The section of crystallizing wheel is M-type, and it is driven by the motor. The crystallizing wheel is equipped with an inner cooling device, which could spray cooling water onto the inner surface of the wheel with a water pressure of 0.35 Mpa. The inner cooling water can be divided into 6 sections; the flow could be controlled by the cut off valve. The external cooling device spray the cooling water onto the steel belt, so as to cool the al. liquid won't flow out. The guide wheel is used to adjust or change the direction of the steel belt and change the length of the cavity. The tension of the steel belt can be changed through the tensioner, so as to keep a certain tension. In order to strip the al. ingot, the continuous casting machine is equipped with steel belt greasing device. Because the whole process is not interrupted long ingot can be gained.
4.2. Continuous rolling mill:
The continuous rolling mill consists of 15 rolling stands of three rollers type-Y. The nominal dia. is 255mm. there are 7 upper driving device for even number rolling stands and 8 lower driving device for odd number rolling stands, they are arranged alternately. The type of the hole is "circuit-arc triangle-circuit". The main DC motor transmits the power through the coupler and the main shaft under the 12th rolling stand of driving gearbox. The transmission ratio between two neighboring stands is 1:1.25; there is safe tooth-like coupling in the junction of the gearbox and rolling stands. When it is overloaded, the safe pin will be cut to avoid the accident. In the front and the back of the rolling stands there are inlet and outlet guide device. The rolling guide device is used in the odd number rolling stands, and the sliding guide device is used in the even number rolling stands. Small roller of every rolling stands can be adjusted by shims of the different thickness; the range can be 0.1-1.00mm. The adjustment of the hole every rolling stands is taken out by a certain plug gauge. The seam can be 0.866mm, the tolerance is ±0.10mm.
The thin-oil lubricating system is used to lubricating the driving gearbox and bearings. It includes:
Oil pump: ZCY-18m3/0.36
Max. flow: 18m3/h
Work pressure: 0.35Mpa
Motor type: Y132M2-6 5.5kw
Oil temperature: 35-45oC
Oil tank: 3m3
The lubricating oil comes out of the oil box which has a volume of 3m3, and flows through the oil pump into the main intake pipe and then into the gearbox in three different ways. The lubricating oil is sprayed onto the gear through the oil nozzle, and lubricates the rolling bearing directly through the red copper joint of the branch oil pipe and the upper part of the bearing block.
The emulsion comes out of the emulsion station and flows into the main emulsion pipe which is installed in the driving gear box, and flows through the top and two sides of the stands into the rolling stands and the guide device separately. The returned emulsion can flows back to the emulsion tank through the return emulsion pipe and slot.
4.3. Monorail hydraulic shear:
The monorail hydraulic shear system consists of monorail hoist, hydraulic shearing device and oil system. The max. load is 250kg. In order to make it convenient to use hydraulic shear between the space of the continuous casting machine and continuous rolling mill, the hoist can move alone the crossbeam which is 7 meters high. The max. shear force of the hydraulic shear is 12000kgf. It is mainly used for shearing the unstandardized al. ingot.
4.4. Coiling stands:
The coiling stand consists of the coiler and the trolley and the collecting basket. The rod is guided by the guide pipe into the spinning head of the worn, and it is going to form different dia. of loop in the collecting basket. This is down by changing the rotational speed of the motor of the spinning head. By adding the lubricating grease, the frictional force between the rod and guide pipe will be reduced. This can protect the finished rod or wire.
There are two collecting basket of the same size on the trolley, and under the trolley there is a motor. When one is full, another basket is going to take its place. On the top of the coiling stand, there is a dust hood, which linked to the exhaust pipe under the pillar of coiler, so the fume produced when the rod travels through the guide pipe.

F/A-18 Hornet strike fighter
Description
All-weather fighter and attack aircraft. The single-seat F/A-18 Hornet is the nation's first strike-fighter. It was designed for traditional strike applications such as interdiction and close air support without compromising its fighter capabilities. With its excellent fighter and self-defense capabilities, the F/A-18 at the same time increases strike mission survivability and supplements the F-14 Tomcat in fleet air defense. F/A-18 Hornets are currently operating in 37 tactical squadrons from air stations world-wide, and from 10 aircraft carriers. The U.S. Navy's Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron proudly flies them. The Hornet comprises the aviation strike force for seven foreign customers including Canada, Australia, Finland, Kuwait, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland.
The newest model, Super Hornet, is highly capable across the full mission spectrum: air superiority, fighter escort, reconnaissance, aerial refueling, close air support, air defense suppression and day/night precision strike. Compared to the original F/A-18 A through D models, Super Hornet has longer range, an aerial refueling capability, increased survivability/lethality and improved carrier suitability. [Capability of precision-guided munitions: JDAM (all variants) and JSOW. JASSM in the future]
Features
The F/A-18 Hornet, an all-weather aircraft, is used as an attack aircraft as well as a fighter. In its fighter mode, the F/A-18 is used primarily as a fighter escort and for fleet air defense; in its attack mode, it is used for force projection, interdiction and close and deep air support.
Background
The F/A-18 demonstrated its capabilities and versatility during Operation Desert Storm, shooting down enemy fighters and subsequently bombing enemy targets with the same aircraft on the same mission, and breaking all records for tactical aircraft in availability, reliability, and maintainability.
Hornets taking direct hits from surface-to-air missiles, recovering successfully, being repaired quickly, and flying again the next day proved the aircraft's survivability. The F/A-18 is a twin engine, mid-wing, multi-mission tactical aircraft. The F/A-18A and C are single seat aircraft. The F/A-18B and D are dual-seaters. The B model is used primarily for training, while the D model is the current Navy aircraft for attack, tactical air control, forward air control and reconnaissance squadrons. The newest models, the E and F were rolled out at McDonnell Douglas Sept. 17, 1995. The E is a single seat while the F is a two-seater.
The F/A-18 E/F acquisition program was an unparalleled success. The aircraft emerged from Engineering and Manufacturing Development meeting all of its performance requirements on cost, on schedule and 400 pounds under weight. All of this was verified in Operational Verification testing, the final exam, passing with flying colors receiving the highest possible endorsement.
The first operational cruise of Super Hornet, F/A-18 E, was with VFA-115 onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) on July 24, 2002, and saw initial combat action on Nov. 6, 2002, when they participated in a strike on hostile targets in the "no-fly" zone in Iraq.
Super Hornet, flew combat sorties from Abraham Lincoln during Southern Watch, demonstrating reliability and an increased range and payload capability. VFA 115 embarked aboard Lincoln expended twice the amount of bombs as other squadrons in their airwing (with 100% accuracy) and met and exceeded all readiness requirements while on deployment. The Super Hornet cost per flight hour is 40% of the F-14 Tomcat and requires 75% less labor hours per flight hour.
All F/A-18s can be configured quickly to perform either fighter or attack roles or both, through selected use of external equipment to accomplish specific missions. This "force multiplier" capability gives the operational commander more flexibility in employing tactical aircraft in a rapidly changing battle scenario. The fighter missions are primarily fighter escort and fleet air defense; while the attack missions are force projection, interdiction, and close and deep air support.
The F/A-18C and D models are the result of a block upgrade in 1987 incorporating provisions for employing updated missiles and jamming devices against enemy ordnance. C and D models delivered since 1989 also include an improved night attack capability. The E and F models have built on the proven effectiveness of the A through D aircraft. The Super Hornet provides aircrew the capability and performance necessary to face 21st century threats.
