This Day in Military History : Tula Arms Plant
On February 26, 1712, Russian Emperor Peter I issued a decree establishing the Tula Arms Plant, which later became a legendary enterprise, with which many successes of the domestic defense industry are associated.
A pistol TT, a Mosin rifle, a Maxim machine gun - today we will tell about a dozen of the most famous product samples produced at this key plant for Russia.
1. Berdan Rifle
The arms business in Tula began to be engaged in the sixteenth century, and by the end of the seventeenth in this city there were already a lot of individual craftsmen or even small enterprises for the production of weapons. And therefore it is not surprising that it was there that Emperor Peter I ordered the construction of the main weapons factory in Russia. It happened in 1712.
In the next century and a half, the Tula Plant produced quite a few beautiful and not very samples of firearms, but the first truly famous and legendary model was the so-called “rifle” - the Berdan rifle with a sliding gate. Its production was mastered in 1879.
The rifle of Berdan was produced until the very end of the nineteenth century, and was used in armies of different countries later. It is believed that the last case of its use in hostilities occurred during the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-1940, when the Finns due to the lack of weapons were forced to use the rifles stored in the warehouse from the time when Finland was part of the Russian Empire.

2. Mosin–Nagant Rifle
Young designer Sergei Ivanovich Mosin came to work at the Tula plant in 1875, immediately after completing his studies at the Mikhailovsky Artillery Academy in St. Petersburg. In 1880 he was already listed as the head of the tool shop, and in 1891 the famous three-line rifle was approved, which received the name of its creator.
However, the mechanism of the three-line shop was borrowed from the weapon developed by the Belgian Nagan - this system was more successful.
Mosin rifle was produced in different variations with significant changes made in 1930, up to 1965. It successfully passed two World Wars and is still used in some armies as a sniper, ceremonial and even combat. The rebels love it in the “hot spots” of the world and the hunters (most of the Russian specimens were converted into hunting ones after decommissioning in the armed forces).

3. Maxim's machine gun
In 1904, Russia bought from Great Britain the right to manufacture the Maxim machine gun system (in honor of the designer Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim). And already in 1910, Tula gunsmiths significantly upgraded it, making it smaller in size and weight, replacing the carriage with a wheeled machine and changing the used cartridges to pointed ones.
The first combat use in the national army Maxim machine gun received during the Russian-Japanese war. They used it during the First World War and the Civil War (it was these weapons that were put on the famous Tachanka of Nestor Makhno, which terrified the Azov and Black Sea steppes, and Chapayev’s Anka the Machine-Gunner should not be forgotten), it lived to the Great Patriotic War.
The production of Maxim's machine gun at the Tula Arms Plant ended in 1945, but was used in the Red Army and later. The last recorded history of the fact of its use happened in 1969 during the conflict on the island of Damansky.

4. ShKAS aviation machine gun
In 1930, the first Soviet automatic rapid-fire aviation machine gun - ShKAS, which became the main armament of domestic aircrafts until the end of World War II, was launched and in 1932 was put into mass production at the Tula Arms Plant.
In 1937, an improved modification of the UltraShKAS was developed, which made it possible to increase the rate of fire to 2800-3000 rounds per minute. There is a legend that in the bunker with Hitler in 1945, found a copy of such weapons, located in a glass box.
Allegedly, the Fuhrer put this machine gun as an example to the German designers and demanded that they develop an equally successful model.

5. TT pistol
TT pistol (Tula Tokarev) - this is probably the most famous weapon ever produced at this weapons factory. Its development began in 1929, when the army leadership decided to abandon Nagan and other foreign pistols, which were in service with the Red Army. In the announced competition, the design designer Fedor Vasilyevich Tokarev won, and in 1931 a trial batch of one thousand pieces was made. And officially adopted by the TT was adopted only in 1934.
Tula Tokarev was distinguished by simplicity of design, ease of handling and maintenance, compactness, and low production cost. It was produced until 1953, until it was replaced in the army with a Makarov pistol. In Soviet times, he was still in service with the police, and now they are used by bailiffs, collectors and some other special services use them.

6. Tokarev self-loading rifle
Another famous weapon developed by Fedor Tokarev was an automatic self-loading rifle, the production of which began at the Tula plant in 1939, and in the same year, it officially entered service with the USSR Army.
The Tokarev automatic rifle replaced the long-obsolete Mosin rifle. It was one of the best weapons in its class in the world in the middle of the twentieth century. In addition, the production of this rifle first began to use the conveyor, which allowed speeding up and cheapening the process of its creation. However, the SVT-40, which consists of 143 parts (22 of them are springs), still costed several times more than the same Mosin rifle.
By the middle of the Second World War, it became clear that with many advantages, the Tokarev rifle has significant drawbacks that the designer could not solve. We are talking about the excessive complexity of the design, the high cost, the need for particularly careful care and a lot of time for training recruits to deal with it. And so in 1945 it was decided to stop the production of these weapons.

7. ShVAK Aviation Cannon
Another model of weapons produced at the Tula plant during the war and forgotten after its completion is the ShVAK gun (Shpitalny-Vladimirov Aviation Large-Caliber gun). It was created based on the machine gun of the same name, when tested, it turned out that its design could well withstand an increase in the size of the barrel to 20 millimeters. History has kept the name of the first pilot, who dared to test a new gun in flight conditions - in 1936, Valery Chkalov on an I-16 aircraft.
Although the ShVAK cannon had certain drawbacks, during World War II, the Tula Arms Plant, as well as other defense enterprises of the USSR, began its mass production. Until 1946, a total of 100,920 copies of this aviation weapon were produced.

8. The anti-tank missile system (ATGM) Konkurs
Since 1970, an anti-tank missile system Konkurs, developed at the local design bureau, has been produced at the Tula plant. This is one of the most popular and massive ATGM in the world, which is or has been in service in the past in more than three dozen countries.
The versatility of the ATGM Konkurs allows you to mount it on the BRDM-2, BMP-1P, BMP-2, BMD-2 and BMD-3. Upgraded in the eighties, Konkurs-M is still being produced in large quantities for the needs of the Russian army.

9. Under-barrel grenade launcher GP-25 Kostyor ('Bonfire')
In 1978, the production of the GP-25 grenade launcher, which is used in combination with AKM, AK-74 (AK-74SU, by the way, was also produced in Tula), as well as other domestic machines, began at the Tula Arms Plant.
A simple and reliable device is still produced in Tula. True, his modernized version, GP-30 Obuvka ('Shoe'), is in the process. The target range of its mounted shooting is 150-200 meters, the maximum - 400.

10. A - 91 firearm-grenade launcher complex
The A-91 is a successful attempt to make a machine gun to which you would not need to attach an external sub-barrel grenade launcher. Both devices are one weapon - compact, lightweight and efficient. In this case, the grenade launcher has its own sight, mounted on the left, as well as the trigger, located in front of the automatic.
The versatile and reliable A-91 grenade launcher complex was developed in Tula in 1990 and put into production in 1991. Now it is used for special operations of the army and the Interior Ministry of the Russian Federation, and is also actively exported - it is one of the best models of weapons of this class in the world.

An advanced time-machine from a futuristic Carny society landed in Robertsdale, Alabama this week.
No one noticed, b/c they were at home watching Dancing with the Stars and Honey Boo Boo
the really odd thing is that there was another vending machine right next to it that looked like someone had stuck a pipe bomb in the dispenser. it was completely warped and melted. then it had been used as an ashtray. unfortunately, no headless stick figure on that one.

Green Lantern is a steel Bolliger & Mabillard stand-up roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure. It was originally constructed at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky in 1997, where it was known as Chang. Upon opening in 1997, it set the world records for this type of coaster in height, drop, speed, length, and number of inversions. It would later be eclipsed by Riddler’s Revenge, which opened at Six Flags Magic Mountain a year later. The ride was removed in 2009, and debuted at Six Flags Great Adventure in 2011.
History
Chang (1997–2009)
Chang at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in 2004.
Chang, meaning "long" in Mandarin Chinese, opened at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom on April 4, 1997. Upon opening, it set the world records for this type of coaster in height, drop, speed, length, and number of inversions. All of these records had eclipsed those of Mantis, which had opened at Cedar Point the year before, and would later be eclipsed by Riddler's Revenge, which opened at Six Flags Magic Mountain a year later.
When it opened in 1997, Chang had yellow track and yellow supports. A couple years later, Chang's track was painted lime green and the support columns were painted violet. In early 2006, the track returned to its original yellow, while the supports were painted blue. Six Flags originally announced that the ride would receive a Batman theme also with T2. T2 would have been named Batman: The Ride and Chang would have been named Riddler's Revenge, but those plans were later canceled for unknown reasons.
Chang was closed over the weekend of September 19, 2009, and was subsequently removed, as confirmed by local media sources, to expand Splashwater Kingdom. The expansion however, did not come to fruition, as Six Flags later announced plans to abandon the Kentucky Kingdom property.
Green Lantern (2011)
In 2010 pieces reportedly showed up at Six Flags Great America. The ride was reportedly going to be moved to Six Flags Great America in 2011, with the park even going through the zoning board to win approval, but those plans were later canceled in favor of a water park expansion. Soon after the announcement of the closure of The Great American Scream Machine, rumors began to circulate that the ride would be relocated to Six Flags Great Adventure in 2011. Although Six Flags did not confirm any rumors, a "first look" of the park's new ride layout from the town's zoning board meeting showed up on JTown Magazine's website, and had Chang's layout.
Late on September 15, 2010, the Asbury Park Press posted an article early, announcing the new ride. The specifications released of the new ride matched those of Chang. It was confirmed that the ride would receive a DC Comics Green Lantern theme, to coincide with the Green Lantern movie due out in 2011. The ride is located in the Boardwalk section of the park. Green Lantern is the third roller coaster to occupy this plot of land, after the Sarajevo Bobsled - which ran at Great Adventure from 1984 to 1988 prior to being moved to Six Flags Great America and then The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom - and the Great American Scream Machine, an Arrow Dynamics looping coaster that had occupied this area from 1989 to 2010. On September 16, 2010, Six Flags officially announced the ride. Based on pictures and videos released, the track and trains of the ride were to be painted green with silver accents, with the supports painted black. In December 2010 footers were poured for the ride, with installation of the track beginning in January 2011. On January 24, 2011 the park posted on its Facebook page a picture of the completed lift hill. On the last day of January 2011, the park added a webcam of the ride construction on Facebook to allow park fans and roller coaster enthusiasts to watch the progress. By April 1, 2011 all track was in place. All of the track is painted green, with the exception of the vertical loop, which is painted yellow. Originally, the second corkscrew was the track section that was going to be painted yellow, but the decision was made to switch the scheme to the first loop. The loop is painted yellow because green lantern's enemy is parallax who is yellow. Like the previous coaster built on the site, the Great American Scream Machine, the entire infield of the ride is covered with gravel. The coaster also reuses Scream Machine's queue entry plaza building. Green Lantern opened to season pass holders between May 19–21 and it officially opened to the public on May 25, 2011.
Green Lantern is the park's fifth Bolliger & Mabillard roller coaster, joining Batman: The Ride, Bizarro, Nitro, and Superman: Ultimate Flight. The coaster is also the park's second standup coaster to ever appear at the park, the previous being a smaller scale stand up coaster made by Intamin called Shockwave operating from 1990 to 1992. Shockwave had also been installed at Six Flags Magic Mountain and preceded the installation of the Riddler's Revenge at that park as well.
On May 19 the highly anticipated roller coaster opened for a select crowd. Media and families from Children's Miracle Network were there for a sneak preview.
During the month of June 2011 a Parallax cutout with clutching arms that the train passes through was placed at the bottom of the first drop.
Track and ride experience
Green Lantern is 4,155 feet (1,266 m) long.
Upon leaving the station, the train climbs up the 155-foot (47 m) tall lift hill. Along the hill the Green Lantern oath is played on speakers aligning the steps. At the top, the train enters the signature B&M pre-drop before making a slightly banked 180 degree turnaround. After this, the trains drops 144 feet (44 m) into a 121.58 feet (37.06 m) tall vertical loop. Coming out of the vertical loop, the track rises up to the right into a 103.83 feet (31.65 m) tall diving loop, hugging the first drop of Superman: Ultimate Flight. Riders then rise up and into a diving turnaround over the station. Dropping out of the turnaround, the train then enters a right leaning 72 feet (22 m) tall inclined loop. The inclined loop elements are unique to the three larger B&M standup coasters: Green Lantern, Mantis, and the Riddler's Revenge. After a small hill the train then rises up to the left into the mid-course brake run. Dropping out of the brake run, the train enters a right corkscrew, and turns to the right, weaving through the middle of the diving loop. The track then makes a ground hugging left hand turn, entering a low to the ground second right corkscrew. After a right hand turn, the train makes a final 180 degree left hand turn into the final brake run, before advancing back into the station.
The first half of Green Lantern's layout is a mirror image of Mantis at Cedar Point, with the exception of being taller and longer. The second half is also similar, but Green Lantern has an additional corkscrew after the mid-course brake run, along with an additional turn around before the final brake run.

I've been wanting an antique treadle machine for quite some time. I finally found one in very good condition about a month ago. My husband has refinished the cabinet for me and now, it's just about ready to sew with!
I could relate to this picture because growing up my mother and I would get excited everytime we saw a claw machine
Demolition of the former Kaspar's Special Events & Catering continues. Just out of frame at lower left, a worker with a hose is spraying the building with water (the streak of white) to lay the dust.
I'm sure that this open space area was once a ranch or farm and this old piece of equipment was left behind.

I try not to impart human motivations to inanimate machines but sometimes I wonder. Take this morning for instance, a giant mound of snow was plowed up overnight at the end of our driveway and I set about chewing it up, bite by bite, with the snowblower. This would be the second multi-hour session with the cantankerous snow blower in as many days. Once you set the choke just so and pick just the right speed the drone of the machine and the pacing of the work take over. I was absorbed in what was doing for a good hour until the machine sputtered a couple times then quit. Under the load the machine had emptied it's fuel tank. I walked back to the garage as my ears adjusted from the quiet left in the wake of the snow blower's roar and to the stillness of the snowbound morning. No sooner had I reached the garage when I heard the airhorn of L517 coming across New Richmond. The night was just starting to give way to morning, I grabbed my camera out of the house and set up to shoot this SD70 cruising through the pre-dawn blue hour. When I put the camera back my wife asked what was going on and I replied "I think the snowblower likes me."

This is my second assemblage inspired by the Time and Freedom philosophy by Henri Bergson. I used tins, hinges and many pieces from dismantled clocks and little machines to create a kind of time machine.
Henri peers from a glass window. He has mica eyes and the window is embellished with words from his book. The bottom tin contains the clock mechanisms, wires a glass orb window, a tiny light bulb incased in a hand carved rock like formation on top is a red letter dice topped with a bottom laced with red string that wraps around the piece and ends in a fringe of springs and screws hanging from the bottom.
This piece has a lot of tiny detail. Check out the extra pictures to see some of them.
