Würzburg is een stad met overzichtelijke afmetingen en de trams die er tijdens mijn eerste bezoek in 1977 dienst deden, waren compact. Ook de grootte van het in 1954 opgeleverde stationsgebouw is afgestemd op de behoefte van een provinciestad. Het voor de jaren vijftig karakteristieke stationsgebouw is ontworpen door architect Hans Kern. De kraam met worstjes voor de uitgang van het station ontbreekt uiteraard niet.

De enkelgelede Düwag-tram heeft ook deuren aan de linker zijde. Op het achterbalkon is een hulpstuurstand aangebracht. De wagens konden zodoende bij behoefte in tweerichtingbedrijf gebruikt worden. Primair zijn de wagens echter voor eenrichtingbedrijf ingericht. Men sprak in dit geval ook wel van anderhalfrichtingwagens. Op de kopwand zien we de verschillende contactdozen voor bijwagenbedrijf. Destijds werd er op werkdagen nog met kleine tweeassige bijwagens achter deze gelede trams gereden.

Tram 233 maakt deel uit van een serie van tien enkelgelde zesassers die in 1967 en 1968 door Düwag werden geleverd. Vanwege het krappe profiel van vrij ruimte zijn de koppen sterk afgeschuind. In 1982 werden de wagens door het invoegen van een nieuwe tussenbak verlengd tot dubbelgelede achtassers.

Hi!

I made a remake of an old photo, but this time, with a stop motion clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5d9783-Ib4

Enjoy!

My first move from number taking to photography was too black and white using a Hanimex Compact non SLR “point and shoot” camera with a 40mm lens of dubious quality around the edges of the frame. Here we find a four car Class 115 diesel muitiple unit idling alongside Marylebone depot sometime in 1974. The depot on the left was the original six road carriage sheds built in 1898 converted to service the Class 115 fleet allocated for Marylebone suburban services in 1961. Apart from the Class 115 fleet the depot also had one of Cricklewood’s diesel shunters outstationed. This was I think the only occasion I visited the depot in daylight as usually I would visit late at night whilst waiting time to catch an overnight service from Paddington. At that late time of day the six roads would be full of Class 115’s, most of which would still be have their Leyland Albion engines idling away resulting in the dimly lit shed having an ghostly smoke filled atmosphere. Forty one Class 115 high density suburban four car sets were ordered from Derby Works and entered traffic in 1960. Thirty five sets were allocated to Marylebone with the remaining six sets allocated to Allerton for Liverpool suburban duties. The Class 115 fleet at Marylebone operated until displaced by Class 165 units around 1991 when the fleet was generally withdrawn. The Class 165 fleet was also provided with a new depot at Aylesbury and Marylebone depot was closed. The site is now covered in blocks of flats.

From The CSIRO website

The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), at the Paul Wild Observatory, is an array of six 22-m antennas used for radio astronomy. It is located about 25 km west of the town of Narrabri in rural NSW (about 500 km north-west of Sydney). It is operated by CSIRO's Astronomy and Space Science division...

This antennas work together using a technique called "interferometry'' which allows the antennas to mimic a much larger antenna. This gives the telescope the ability to see very fine detail. Effectively "radio interferometry'' works by replacing the lens of a conventional imaging system with sophisticated electronics, supercomputer-like hardware and complex software. Using this technique, a image of a small section of the sky can be formed in a 12-hour period. Whereas the Array uses six antennas spread over 6km, the same interferometry principles can be applied to antennas spread over a continent. For example, several times a year, the Array is used together with other radio telescopes spread across Australia (such as the Parkes antenna) to make images with extremely fine detail.

I am sure you wanted to know all this :)

To me, it would seem that a dandelion bloom would be somehow different than this. I think that it's because a dandelion's fibers are all so scattered, at first glance, that it seems unlikely that they start out so orderly. Then the reasoning kicks in that dandelions use air dispersal to get their offspring away from the parent plant. Of course, then, there isn't a random combination of structures. They must be grown specifically to take advantage of being both light and fluffy.

Still with me? Gone to take a snooze?

11th November 1620, Provincetown Harbour, near Cape Cod, passengers on board the Mayflower sign "The Compact". The Compact was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony and was written by the male passengers of the voyage, consisting of separatist Puritans, adventurers, and tradesmen.

This build is based on by the painting of the Mayflower Compact by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris.

The theme for today in the Kerrisdale Cameras daily photo challenge is “Compact”. I struggled with this one until I saw one of my daughters CD’s (Compact Disc) sitting on the table reflecting light from a nearby window #kcphotochallenge

The interconnected steering/suspension I designed for my Volvo Wolfhound LMVs (pictured configuration), and other smaller vehicles like my MB G-Wagon on the right (using a four studs wide base). Works best for display purposes, but it also rolls and articulates quite well and it can be scaled up or down using different lengths of the old technic plates and clips/tiles connecting the wheel mounts.

I must be one of the very few people who don't like the Petri Color 35. There, I've said it. Don't get me wrong, from the collector's standpoint it is a great camera: Great looks, intuitive design, a marvel of camera engineering, all this from a maker of budget cameras who tried (and partially succeded) to come up with a "Rollei 35 killer" at a time when Rollei was still a premium name in the camera business.

Me, I like to judge cameras as a user first and the Color 35 has a very serious drawback for a viewfinder guess-focus camera: There is no way to focus the lens without bringing the camera to your eye, as there is no distance scale on the retracting lens barrel. You have to either keep the camera at eye level throughout focusing (with the added risk of getting your finger in your eye while turning the focusing knob at the back) in order to watch the needle move over the distance indicators in the viewfinder, or use it hyperfocally which somehow defeats the whole purpose of having manual control over aperture and thus DOF. All this led me to sell the Color 35 I had and declare the original Rollei 35 (which gives you the opportunity to fully control every aspect of shooting without the need to bring the camera at eye level other than at the exact moment of framing) as the undisputed winner of this duel.

Now to the camera pictured here: After the commercial success of the Color 35, Petri decided to release another camera based on it, retaining some of its virtues (compact size, retractable lens) but replacing the fully manual exposure with a fully automatic one which would make the camera much more appealing to the casual user. This way, the Petri Color 35E (for "Electronic") was born. Wisely enough, Petri added a distance indicator on the lens barrel, correcting the fundamental drawback of the Color 35. With time, the name changed a bit, the camera also existed as "Petri 35E" then renamed "Petri Micro Compact" which also involved a change in finish from the classic chrome to black. The latter can also be found as "Carena Micro Compact".

Sadly, as the camera evolved, it slowly lost the good build quality that characterised the first Color 35, probably reflecting the gradual decline of Petri into bankruptcy. Although the size is identical to the Color 35 and features like the completely removable back or the freely rotating strap lugs remain, almost all metal has been replaced by plastic, resulting in an overall feel very close to a toy camera, much worse than what pictures of the camera online suggest at first glance. Everything feels very flimsy and easily breakable. The VF is decent but without any exposure or distance indicators at all and the only amenity to the user is a battery test button. Perhaps the early Color 35E model retains some of the quality of its mechanical sibling, but working ones are rather uncommon to find at low prices, probably a spill-over effect from the reputation and collectability of the original Color 35.

The small size of the Black Hills Central's Baldwin 2-6-6-2 tank locomotives--38 foot wheelbase-- can really be seen from above--in this aerial view, #108 has topped the steep initial climb out of Hill City and is now winding between the hills on a light downgrade before the drop into Keystone.

I initially wanted to have a few small cars that would fit into an autorack, similar to the Vert-A-Pac. The train car didn't work out, but the regular cars did. I will now use them for my LUG's city layout.
