A common Wayfarer ticket machine that is standard on most of Ipswich Buses vehicles.
I like the way that ticket machines have progressed in 50 years on public transport from the basic portable machines that conductors used right down to the latest state of the art machines seen in this picture.
When I took this picture, this machine wasn't working properly and had to be replaced with another. The bus driver had to ask people to pay at the enquiry office at Tower Ramparts

1.5" glass ball ornaments filled with pony bead "gumballs." My 3 & 4 year olds loved filling these up with a funnel.
13/52 for the group 52 of 2012
This week's theme: Technical, mechanical, or machinery
I was rather lacking in inspiration earlier in the week, partly because I was thinking large scale. The obvious solution only came to me later and here is the old Singer Sewing machine (hand operated) that used to belong to my mother-in-law.
I looked up on the Internet about it recently and it dates from the 1930s and was made in Clydebank in Scotland.

Pokies are OK
Werribee Shire Council supports the introduction of poker machines into Victoria, in the hope that it will be beneficial to the finances of clubs.
Council made the decission in response to a questianaire from the Board of Inquiry into Poker Machines.
The questions asked were related to population, number of hotels, licenced clubs, etc, and if council had passed any resolutions in relation to poker machines.
Councilors were asked to submit personal views as well as a resolution of combined council.
Shire secretary, Mr John Kerr, told council that it could make comments on the terms of reference of inquiry, which were in relation to the likely social and economic affects on the introduction of poker machines.
Cr Ted Dowling felt the issue was most important in its effect on local clubs.
He said that everyone recognised the beneficial affect which poker machines had wrought on clubs in New South Wales, staging functions which were completely out of the reach of Victorian clubs.
As to the affects on individuals, Cr Dowling said he felt that each individual had control of own destiny in relation to the gambling aspect.
He said that clubs would have a greater scope for control than hotels because membership fee and the machines would not be freely available to the public.
Cr Dowling said he anticipated a cry about the affects of poker machines on homes, but he felt it was no greater than from any other form of gambling.
Cr Don Myers said he had nothing against women, but he felt they could get caught up in the continual quest for a jackpot.
He went on to say that he had heard there had been a fall-off in patronage in New South Wales.
"Anyway you can't win", he said "the Government will get 15-20% first," he pointed out.
"We have enough forms of gambling, already" Cr Myers claimed.
Crs Dowling and Menegazzo then moved that Council support the introduction of poker machines into Victoria.
Cr Julian Menegazzo said he lived in New South Wales for a number of years and people knew they could not win, however they put $5 or so in for a bit of fun.
He felt that Tattslotto was a bigger problem than poker machines.
Cr Menegazzo said he had seen people put hundreds of dollars into Tattslotto chasing the million-dollar prize.
Cr Glenn Clark said he opposed poker machines.
"Sure, there is good food and entertainment, and fun for those who have $5 to put into the machines, but I have seen the harm done to families by the machines," he said.
He felt the terms of reference had been framed in such a way as to justify the introduction of poker machines.
Cr Clark felt that the decision was one that councils should have to make. He did not feel qualified to speak on behalf of the 5000 people in South-West Riding, on that subject.
Cr Kevin Skehan said that he was certain that some people would be adversely affected by the introduction of poker machines, initially.
He pointed out that the same debate had raged about the introduction of 10 o'clock closing "when the doom and gloom meschants had forecast that we'd all be drunk every night".
"I support the proposal." he said, "it's essential to the development of the club industry and to tourism."
Cr Skehan said that busloads of Victorians went away for weekends to take in poker machines, which were not the prime reason, but merely the catalyst.
"What annoys me," Cr Skehan said, "is the sheer hypocrisy of it all. Poker machines are no different from people queing up at agencies for Tic Tac Toe or Instant Tatts".
"Many clubs and public places already had coin-in-the-slot machines which paid dividends in goods.
"It's ludicrous that in this countrywe have two sets of laws for areas separated by only 150 yards of water", Cr Skehan said.
Cr Hudson supported the poker machines, but only on a restricted basis - not in hotels. He added that clubs would be able to provide more community facilities thus lightening the load on local councils.
Cr John Gibbons said he felt there were more direct benefits from poker machines than from most other forms of gambling. "There is job creation in the machine manufacture, people have more social contact and clubs themselves employ more staff." he pointed out.
Cr Bruce Comben opposed poker machines saying that one only had to visit a club to see the affects on people. "And the club industry in New South Wales had more money than the government", he added.
Cr Ted Dowling said councillors could not sit up as moralists, but that individually they had a right to express their views. He felt they would be an advantage to Victoria. "football clubs have had to run two bob rafles for too long," he concluded.
Cr Pat Goodwin said she opposed poker machines because of the hardship she had seen caused to families.
The motion was carried 5-4 with Cr Southwick abstaining.
- Banner of 01 June 1983, p1.
Guns are scary, but, fortunately, they are merely machines. They can be disassembled, inspected, analyzed, tested... and understood. Understanding how something works usually makes them seem less scary.
So this is how it works:
1. When a round is fired, expanding gases from burning propellant travels behind the bullet, and some of it leaks into the gas port towards the end of the barrel
2. Gases enter the gas cylinder, and push back on the piston end of the operating rod
3. As the operating rod is pushed back by gases in the gas cylinder, it pushes the bolt back, which extracts the spent cartridge
4. When the oprod recedes, the operating rod spring, which is inside the operating rod, is compressed and exerts pressure in two directions. On the one end, it pushes against the follower rod, and on the other, it pushes against the operating rod, trying to move it back forward.
5. When the bolt moves further back, it begins to push back on the hammer. When the hammer recedes far enough, it is latched in place by the trigger
6. When the bolt is all the way back, the next bullet is pushed up by the follower (which in turn is pushed by the follower arm, then the follower rod, which as we saw in 4, is pushed by the operating rod spring).
7. The operating rod spring begins to push the operating rod forward. The bolt is pushed forward with it, and pushes the next round into the chamber
8. When the trigger is released, the hammer is pushed forward by a spring, strikes the firing pin in the bolt, which hits the primer in the base of the chambered cartridge. The propellant ignites, pushes the bullet down the barrel, and brings us back to step 1.

Strobist: bare head right, indirect window light from left
I'm building a custom table for my sewing machine, and I had it out for measurements so I thought I'd snap a few photos of it.
When I first brought this out of the attic where it had sat for more than 50 years, I wasn't sure whether it was even in working condition. My newer Singer that I bought five years ago is completely unreliable and gave me constant headaches, so I gave up on it. Aside from being dusty, the machine is in pristine condition, so I oiled her up and she works like the day she was made. I did have to replace the plugs to safer, polarized ones, but that's really easy to do and costs about $10.
Turns out these machines were very popular during the 50's and 60's. Right after WWII, Singer's patents ran out, so Japanese companies began cloning them using those patents. This also means that Singer parts are 100% compatible with them. These are definitely workhorse machines, so if you ever stumble across one at a thrift store, buy it! This machine will sew through just about anything you throw at it. I've even made a few leather goods with it. There is a little bit of a learning curve involved, but anyone who knows about sewing will pick it up within a day or two.
The best part is being able to use something my great grandmother used all that time ago.
