Its been a busy week so I haven’t had the time I hoped to work on these images. I’ve split Friday up into 2 parts since a lot happened. Naturally it was raining, and not just a bit. It was the first time I’ve put a cover on my cameras. Not that it helped as the contacts on the 10-20 failed later that day. I managed to fix them though. So despite the heavy rain lots of people came out to see La Princesse awake for the very first time. It really was something else. Its legs stretched out and toyed with the crowd. La Princesse didn’t like to be confined and kicked the fences down. She headed up the steps by the arena and was attacked by jets of water. This didn’t stop her. She continued up and was forced back by fire and firecrackers. This scared her and she headed back down the steps. Once back at the base the scientists turned on the sleep snow and sent La Princesse back to sleep. For a while…
Aircraft Machine Guns
This case contains an international selection of aircraft automatic weapons,
rapid-firing guns that use gas pressure or recoil and spring action to eject
and replace spent cartridges. It includes some of the most significant aerial
machine guns from World War I and II.
The first successful firing of a machine gun from an airplane—a Lewis
Gun on a Wright Model B—took place in 1912 at College Park, Maryland.
Widespread interest in the concept arose with the outbreak of World War I.
Two hurdles stood in the way: a means to prevent bullets from a forward-
Firing gun from hitting the propeller blades, and decreased aircraft
performance due to the weight of the gun and ammunition. Synchronizers
or interrupter mechanisms that enabled machine guns to fire through a
whirling propeller were soon developed, and increasingly better fighter
aircraft designs rolled out as the war progressed.
By World War II, advances in aircraft design allowed more and larger
Machine guns to be carried both by fighter aircraft and by bombers for
defensive purposes. Early aerial battles showed that the 7 to 8 mm (.30 caliber)
Guns used in World War I were inadequate against all-metal aircraft. Heavier
12 to 13 mm (.50 caliber) guns proved far more effective and remained
standard on most aircraft, even after heavier armaments were introduced.
Aerial combat during the Korean War proved that even heavy machine
Guns were not effective fighter weapons in the jet age. All subsequent
Fighter aircraft designed during the Cold War were armed with either
guided missiles or cannons or both. The machine gun, however, remains
an important aerial weapon, especially for military helicopters.
There's something brilliant about this machine - it's the kind of thing a child might come up with. It's full of conveyer belts, lifts, pistons, things that shove casks onto other conveyers, and a man with a hammer tapping kegs.
Unlike the Guinness Storehouse tour in Dublin, the Fuller's brewery takes you round the actual place where they make the actual beer. In this room though, the machine was so loud that I couldn't quite hear what it did...

One-third scale Pacific-type steam locomotives built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. Now living at Swanton Pacific RailRoad near Santa Cruz, CA. This is the third of four sister locomotives. She's in the machine shop getting her boiler looked after. The forth never-completed locomotive lives at the California Railway Museum in old town Sacramento, CA. I made a picture of the forth locomotive, 1915, last month.
We got a new donation over at The Geek Group this week - Haas TM1 and TL1 machines. (CNC lathe and mill) This gave us the opportunity to re-arrange the machine shop... I think it's quite pretty! In the adjacent room is the SR-100, a CNC router table.

The astounding network of the Cu Chi tunnels are probably the main attraction in this site, apart from the various defenses and booby traps set up by the Viet Cong to destroy their US enemy. Other above-ground attractions include caged monkeys, vendors selling souvenirs, and a shooting range where visitors can fire a number of assault rifles, such as the M16 rifle or AK-47, as well as a light machine gun like the M60. This large blue sign announces the shooting range where you can supposedly 'enjoy' some shooting. (Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon/ HCM, Vietnam, Nov. 2016)
