Another from the article about our affordable solid state Linux boxes. These systems are being used in business and industrial applications for all kinds of purposes ranging from security, to remote management, to silent media PCs.
Built by Otto himself from Columbus Zona and Reynolds 853. Stainless lazer cut decals and head badge brazed with silver.
Aluminium bodied, custom-built camera for 127 format relying to large extent on the mechanics of a Foth Derby.
Used were the Foth Anastigmat f2.5/50mm lens and focussing helical, the strut and bellows system and the cloth focal plane shutter unit with speed settings of B, 1/25, 1/50, 1/75, 1/100, 1/200, and 1/500. The camera also utilises the notched pressure plate with the two red windows from a Foth Derby 2A/2.5.
The unit is hard to date. It clearly utilises components drawn from a Foth Derby 2A which was introduced in 1932 and which was replaced in 1935 by the Forth Derby 3 (which had two green and two red oval windows on the back).
Note the absence of a viewfinder, the presence of an accessory shoe (presumably to fit a removable rangefinder?), and the addition of a larger shutter adjustment knob shaped from the brass fitting of a Bausch & Lomb Optical Com. Rapid Rectilinear lens. The camera has a has a snap-on back lid and the unit is overall is VERY WELL machined.
It is unclear whether this camera is a prototype of some sort, or whether this is a highly skilled personal modification. The fact that pencil-writing on the inside of the fully removable back lid states "winding end" is not necessarily indicative that it was a British-made unit (although it was acquired from the UK).

Greenridge Farms subdivision. Originally named Carriage Lane, it was often confused with another Carriage Lane on the north side of South Bend and the name was changed in the mid 1970s. We lived here from October 1972 until April of 1979.
This was really a cool house. It was built in 1969 but we were the first to live in it. My parents had their own full bath and walk-in closet. My sister Suzy and I had our own "wing" and full bath. It was cool that the bedrooms were all on the left and the living areas were on the right. The coolest part of the house was the sliding glass door...which has since been replaced by two ugly metal doors. The entire house has also been painted light blue! Torrid.
