This week's Macro Mondays effort on the theme of 'Inside electronics' saw me destroy an old Freesat box for electronic bits, with my phone displaying binary for the backdrop. HMM y'all!
Another example of an old 'Amperes' meter in an abandoned industrial building.

Most likely an industrial CEE 63 A connector with three upstream AEG NT-1 fuses (200 A, 500 V), documented at the Völklinger Hütte.
The oversized protection fuses supply the distribution bus, while the connector provides branch access with a lower current rating.
With 3 phase and 380 Vm the rated power is approx. 132 kVA
An electric power line along Highway 87 near Box Elder, Montana.
I'm not sure if Montana has more electrical poles than any other state, or if you just see more of them because of the lack of trees here on the plains, but often they are the only significant feature you see on the vast and open Montana landscape.

An old 'Amperes' meter in an abandoned industrial building. The detailing is demonstrative of an era where even something as simple as a meter had class & style.

From a loose-leaf brochure set issued by the famous electrical and components firm based in Birmingham, Jospeph Lucas, in around 1935. The various leaflets describe the main items of electrical equipment found in cars from batteries to starters and lights and how best to maintain them - with lots of hints on DIY as was common with motor vehicles at the time. Lucas had grown tobe a vital part of the supply chain as the Birmingham and West Midlands automotive industries grew int he first decades of the 2oth Century and they in turn had sprung from the bicycle manufacting companies based here. Lucas had started supplying bike components before diversifying into automobile electrics.
Seveeral of the leaflets have marvellous scraperboard illustrations, sadly anonymous, that are very period! Here a lady driver, suitably attired in gloves, makes to start the motor. The wee cartoon at the top shows the same component giving the car a good shove to get going!

H. Gee, Mill Road, Cambridge [52.199465, 0.138584]
In the days when 'wireless' still meant 'radio' and 'Hi-Fi' was anything but 'Wi-Fi', Gee's on Cambridge's now colourful Mill Road was something of a mecca for all audio and stereo enthusiasts. I remember the shop listing themselves as 'radio engineers' in those days. They are now more of a Cambridge institution where anything electrical may be sought and it's been suggested they are the oldest retailer on Mill Road.
I see that they have even attracted the interest of Magnum photographer, Martin Parr :~ www.we-make-money-not-art.com/wow/0aawonderfulshooop.jpg
I wish that was one I'd thought of taking!

During the Florida East Coast Railway Society 2008 Convention in Miami, there was a Bus Trip on September 27, 2008 to the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami. The GCRRM is located at 12450 South West 152nd Street, next to the Miami Zoo. All of the FECRS Members, who attended the Convention Bus Trip, were given a CAB Ride on the FEC E8A, which Railfans affectionately refer to as a Covered Wagon.
This Locomotive was built by ALCO (aka: American Locomotive Company) in Schenectady, New York in 1943 as an S-2 for the Department of Defense, originally Numbered 7102. It was one of the Locomotives used by the US Army in Richmond, Virginia. In the late 1970's it was transferred to the NASA Railroad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for use on the Space Program.
Several years later, after NASA bought three General Motors EMD Switchers, the Alco S2 was donated to the Gold Coast Railroad Museum and re-numbered #1.
The RS-2 was a joint effort between ALCO & GE (General Electric), where ALCO built the Locomotive Body and GE provided Electrical Components. The RS-2 was considered a Road Switcher. Further information can be found at:
