These delightful illustrations of configurations for displaying combined litre/gallon, or just gallon pricing, are part of booklet called" The Ultramar Metrication Package" — I've reproduced the text below since it's a useful historical document to understand one of the stages of metrication in fuel retailing. It's OCR'd from a scan so there may well be errors.

This marked the point at which dispensing petrol in litres started to become what larger or more modern garages did, particularly company-owned sites as mentioned below, while smaller or more old-fashioned garages might have chosen to stick with gallons—until they could afford to have the pumps converted or replaced. Note the stipulation that pricing displays for litres had to have all the numerals the same size, whereas for gallons there wasn't the same requirement.

This particular era of Ultramar branding was the final one as far as the UK was concerned, lasting until the sites were rebranded in the late 80s following the network's sale to Q8. Although I liked the stripes on the pumps and canopy, I always felt limiting the golden eagle only on the pole sign in this era was a bit of a shame — it was such a powerful symbol. Although Ultramar Golden Eagle's registered office address was Morgan House, 1 Angel Court, next to the Bank of England, I've put their correspondence address of Pembroke House, 40 City Road, just a few streets away towards Old Street station, as the 'location' for the image.

EDIT: I forgot to add that for many garages the voluntary metrication (via converting the pump) was also a way for pumps with price displays to, at a stroke, reduce the price figures shown by 1/4.54 — as petrol prices rose through the 70s it wasn't uncommon to see "X2" or similar added to pumps to deal with the maximum cost the pump dials could display, being exceeded. The conversion to litres meant this could be (temporarily) reset. And it's also worth noting the requirement for the price per gallon, which was still the public's mental model for petrol prices, to be displayed on a sticker and on the pole sign, to enable easier mental reckoning, even if the actual pump dispensed in litres.

The Ultramar Metrication Package

METRICATION

1. General

Most major company owned service stations will start to sell petrol in metric measure

(the litre) from the 1st September 1981 on a planned programme of conversion. The

pump maintenance contractors expect the major companies to commence earlier rather than later, i.e. September rather than November or December 1981. It is also expected that some of the major companies will be advertising the change from Imperial to Metric measure extensively to acquaint the general public with the change.

The Price Marking (Petrol) 1980 Order which came into operation on 1st January 1981 revokes the requirements contained in the Petrol Price (Display) Order 1978, and covers the statutory requirements contained in the change.

These notes are not intended to cover all the provisions contained in the Price Marking (Petrol) Order 1980, but illustrate the signalisation that will be available from Ultramar for use on service stations to meet the Ultramar metrication proposals.

These notes also outline the assistance available to Ultramar dealers with regard to

equipment replacement and conversion .

2. The Order for Gallon Measure; all sites - pump and price displays

All sites must display on each pump the lowest cost price (inclusive of taxes and duties) and the unit of measure (gallon) for each grade which that pump dispenses and any circumstances in which a higher price is payable.

Price Display Notices (using road side price display)

A service station where the price of petrol is displayed and legible to a person in a motor vehicle on the highway -

(a) must display at the road side, the lowest cash price for 4 Star, or if 4 Star is not

available, the highest octane grade available together with any conditions relating

to the purchase at that price (e.g. cash sales only) .

(b) any conditions must be in letters not less than 80mm high .

(c) all information on the poster must be repeated on the pumps .

(d) the unit of measure (gallons) must be displayed .

(e) no other information may be given (except similar information relating to other

grades)

3. The Order for the Litre Measure - pump and price displays, all sites

All sites must display on each pump the lowest cash price (inclusive of taxes and duties) and the unit of measure ( litre) for each grade that the pump dispenses, together with the equivalent price per gallon and any circumstances in which a higher price is payable.

(A conversion chart for display upon the pump may also be used at premises selling

product in litres) .

Price Display Premises

The equivalent price per gallon means the price per litre divided by 0.22 and the result

rounded up to the nearest 1/10th of a penny, e.g. 33.1 pence per litre divided by 0.22

equals 150.45 pence per gallon but rounded up to the nearest 1/10th of a penny equals

150.5 pence per gallon.

Price Display Premises (where there is a road side display)

A station where the price of petrol is displayed and legible to a person in a motor

vehicle on the highway -

(a) must display at the road side the lowest cash price per litre for 4 Star or if 4 Star

is not available, the highest octane grade available, together with the equivalent

price per gallon and any condition relating to the purchase at that price (i.e. cash

sales only).

(b) the litre price numerals must all be the same size.

(c) any conditions must be in letters of not less than 80mm high.

(d) all information at the road side display must be repeated on the pumps.

(e) the unit of measure must be displayed (i.e. litres) and the equivalent price per

gallon must also be shown.

(f) no other information may be given (except similar information relating to other

grades).

Ultramar have an attractive sign package to enable you to comply with these requirements.

Your representative will discuss these proposals with you shortly.

Although we believe that the information given in these notes is correct it is the

dealer's responsibility to see that the order is complied with at his particular site.

Failure by the dealer to ensure compliance with the order could result in a prosecution

by the relevant authority.

4. Metric conversion - mechanical/electronic pumps

1. In this information sheet we cannot cover all the problems that may arise in the

conversion of existing pumps to metric measures.

At its very simplest those mechanical pumps (whether Monos, Duos or Blenders)

which have a Veeder Root 2002 head (either 2002 or 2002TE) can be readily

and cheaply converted because the head was designed for this purpose. Mechanical

pumps that do not have a Veeder Root 2002 head cannot be easily converted and

will almost certainly require a new head. It will be impossible to convert some

particularly old pumps.

Almost all electronic pumps can be readily converted to metric measures. In the

rare cases where pumps need replacement or alteration we will be able to offer you

assistance.

2. The following points therefore arise from this:-

(a) Metrication is voluntary and no-one has to sell in metric measures if they do

not want to, but we recommend conversion .

(b) The Price Marking (Petrol) 1980 Order is likely to remain in force for some

time but when it is revoked it is clear that for those still selling in gallons a

two tier market will exist-the large majority will sell in litres and a small

minority will sell in gallons.

Pump Conversion Programme

Ultramar's company owned network and some dealers are being converted to metric

measures during the last four months of 1981. Ultramar is very well aware of the

problems that metrication is going to cause us all and we have geared ourselves to help

you.

In addition to the comprehensive poster and pump sign programme referred to above,

we have available an attractive pump replacement package based on both mechanical

and electronic pumps specially adapted for our requirements.

Conversion Costs

The costs of converting a pump that is prepared for metrication range from £23 - £60

per pump. These charges include weights and measures inspection. Please note that these

charges fall on you the dealer. Although Ultramar may be able to assist you in this area.

Your representatives will be discussing these programmes with you-we hope you will

join with us in maximising the joint benefit in updating forecourt equipment and

displays at this opportune moment.

Pogue Configuration - 2Ra / 2Y / 2W

Imbrium Lunokhod Industries Model VS-M/S-71 'Degei' - The next evolution of the Imbrium Lunokhod Industries Frame System, the Degei takes the lessons learned during the development of the VS-A-GR5K 'Krivlyaka' and applies the well loved stylings that made the VS-MX-04 'Rangi' and the VS-M/A-Z9A 'Muku' such a success. The Degei is a versatile assault frame perfect for space-based interdiction and other zero-g tactical operations.

From a design perspective, the frame fits perfectly into the 7P scale and aligns with the desired aesthetic. Unfortunately, the thigh joints that worked so well on the Krivlyaka were very fragile when paired with a stiff ankle joint. Additionally, the design of the shoulder joint didn’t add enough range of motion to justify the parts usage. Finally, the hip/waist connection was too loose, even with a friction pin which made it difficult to find stable footing.

If I was going to revise this build, I think I would start with the ankles. A looser and more scale-conventional joint (using a pneuma-T or tap) would probably work better in the long run.

This artist concept shows the 130-metric-ton configuration of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) during launch.

(Note: artist concept updated July 30, 2013)

America’s new heavy-lift rocket will be the largest launch vehicle ever built and more powerful than the Saturn V rocket that carried Apollo astronauts to the moon. The 130-metric-ton-configuration (143 tons) will lift more than 286,000 pounds and provide 20 percent more thrust than the Saturn V.

The first SLS mission — Exploration Mission 1 — in 2017 will launch an uncrewed Orion spacecraft to demonstrate the integrated system performance of the SLS rocket and spacecraft prior to a crewed flight.

“AFT CARGO CARRIER (ACC) CONCEPT SPACE STATION

This configuration uses modules of two sizes. One size is compatible with the Space Shuttle cargo bay dimensions; the other, with a proposed Aft Cargo Carrier (ACC). Teleoperator Maneuvering System (TMS) would retrieve cargo brought up in the ACC. This system permits the launching of modules up to 25 feet in diameter. The space station depicted will house 12 crew members.”

I suppose the external tank in the background still has the payload attached, with the TMS enroute to get it.

“LEM CONFIGURATION is indicated in this UTC artist’s conception of module blasting off from Moon using UTC aeration throttling…”

Above is per the image caption, as part of an article in the November 12, 1962 issue of “missiles and rockets” magazine, page 12, with the heading:

“Lunar orbit prevails…

Grumman Gets LEM Contract: Apollo spacecraft now complete; RCA, Rocketdyne reportedly in line for major subcontracts on module

by Hal Taylor”

I’ll try to refrain from hyperbole, but this artist’s concept is a unicorn if ever there was one. I’ve seen it less than a handful of times my entire life, the last time being so long ago I can’t even begin to recall. I kid you not, coming across it again brought back the same child-like wonder & excitement - yes excitement – that I had on those rare previous occasions so long ago. It was/is so damned cool, so exquisitely detailed (which is only now evident), and so exotic, alien & classically retro sci-fi in appearance.

Not surprisingly, fittingly actually, it’s by the enigmatic maestro himself, Ludwik Źiemba.

This work would seem to also support Mr. Źiemba’s employment by/contract with, United Technology Corporation, either prior to or concurrently? with Lockheed Aircraft Company.
