Girl plays with a toy gun as her guardian speaks about the then-looming first Gulf War at Speaker's Corner, Hyde Park, London (Winter 1990/1). I need to re-scan this print.
We initially thought this was a Willcox and Gibbs machine but then we found the faint markings for Frister and Rossmann, Berlin. The serial number of the machine is 4317.
Nearly everything in Sweden is designed to look good and works properly. Whoever thought this one out was working on the assumption that if you can use the machine you have probably got a computer and are familiar with the way it works, so it just has a heavy-duty standard computer keyboard and trackball.
That said, the excellent concept wasn't followed through, and the screen is a touch-screen and the networking is dire, so it takes ages to get a ticket, partly because the machine does seat reservations at the some time, even for a local journey. It is all asking too much especially when people tend not to sit in the seat that is reserved for them.

Volkach, December 2006 -
An old vending machine. I took the photo for coanri/Rita's group and was surprised to see that the machine must have been in use until recently, because the price is in cents. I think I might have bought bubble gums from this machine as a kid once...
My wifes new quilting machine Babylock Crown Jewel II with New Momentum Frame. Just a note this is 2 pictures stitched together.
The Metal Stick has been machined from its original 27.2mm to 26.8mm diameter and similarly machined internally to accept the new spigot of the Campagnolo.

Oh, now that's interesting, these trains must have been pre-production models, they've got proper bogies on them, bet they never reached production because they were deemed too fiddly for kids to put on the track

We recently had a week’s holiday to take – Jayne’s job dictates my holidays – we went through the usual process of leaving it late and then desperately selecting a shortlist of cities where we thought the weather might be ok, after a reasonably short flight and we can fly from the north of England. Budapest was the chosen destination.
Budapest is touted as possibly the most beautiful city in Europe and we had a stream of people tell us that it was fantastic. It is. I was looking forward to getting there, no agenda other than walking, photographing the sights and trying to get off the beaten track. We certainly walked – over 70 miles – I photographed it ( I’m a bit embarrassed to say how many shots but it was a lot ) but I’m not sure we got off the beaten track as much as I wanted to.
We flew over Eastern England (and home actually – a first for us) and out over Europe. It was a late afternoon flight on a stunning day, one of the more interesting flights I’ve had. I was glued to the window watching the world go by, wondering about all of lives being played out beneath us. It was dark when we arrived. We were staying on the Buda or Castle Hill side of the city. What we didn’t know was, we were staying in one of the most prominent hotels in the city, sat on the hilltop overlooking Budapest. The Hilton sits on an historic sight and features in every photo taken of the Castle District from Pest. We had time to get out before bedtime and photograph the Matthias Church next door – floodlit – like all of the major buildings in Budapest.
Unfortunately after leaving the best weather of the year in the UK, Budapest was forecast to be a bit dull and cool – not what we wanted. There was occasional sun over the first two days but it was generally grey. Now I have to admit, I let the dullness get me down, I took photos because I wasn’t sure how the week would unfold but I was fairly sure that I was wasting my time. The photos would be disappointing and if it was sunny later we would have to revisit all of the famous landmarks again to get something that I was happy with. This is essentially what happened. The next four days were gorgeous and we did revisit, more than once all of the places that we walked to in the first two days. This meant that we didn’t have the time to go “off piste” or venture further afield as much later in the week.
The sun was rising before seven and we were staying in the best location for watching it rise. By day three I was getting up at 6.00 (5.00 our time) and getting out there with my gear. By day four I was using filters and tripod, not something I usually bother with despite always having this gear with me, and dragging it miles in my backpack. One morning I was joined by a large and noisy party of Japanese photographers, they appeared to have a model with them who danced around the walls of the Fisherman’s Bastion being photographed. Once the orange circle started to appear above the city they started clicking at the horizon like machine guns. We all got on well though and said goodbye as we headed off for breakfast – still only 7.15am.
By 8.00am everyday we were out on foot wandering along the top of Castle Hill wondering where to go that day. We tend to discover the sights as we walk on a city break, frequently discovering things as we head for a distant park or building and research it afterwards with a glass of wine. It works for us. We walked out to Heroes’ Square and beyond, returning by less well known streets. We walked along the Danube to Rákóczi Bridge a couple of times then back into Pest using a different route. Having been under the thumb of Russia for so long and considering its turbulent past there are lots of large Russian style monuments, tributes to great struggles, or the working man – very socialist and very much like Prague in a lot of respects. The Railway stations were also very similar to Prague, you could walk across the tracks and no one bothered. In the main station, now famed for the migrant crisis a few weeks previously, there was a mixture of very new and very old rolling stock from the surrounding countries, all very interesting. Considering that this station is the first thing some visitors to the city will see it is an appalling state. One side of the exterior is shored up and fenced off. This contrasts with the expensive renovation work that has been well executed in the city centre. It really is like stepping into the past when you enter the station building. It all seems to work efficiently though, unlike the UK.
Transport in Budapest is fascinating. Trams everywhere, trolley buses, ancient and new, bendybuses, again, very old and very new, the underground metro, yellow taxis in enormous numbers and of course the river and boats. This never ending eclectic mix seems to operate like clockwork with people moved around in vast numbers seamlessly. The trams looked packed at any time of day. Anyone dealing with tourists seemed to speak very good English, which is just as well as we didn’t have any grasp of Hungarian. Cost wise it was a very economical week for us in a capital city.
Once the weather (or light, to be precise) improved, I cheered up and really enjoyed Budapest. A common comment after visiting is that , although you’ve “done Budapest” you wouldn’t hesitate to go back, which isn’t always the case after a city visit. As ever, I now have a lot of work to do to produce a competent album of work. I think I will end up discarding a lot of the early days material – but then again, I’m not renowned for my discarding skills.
Thank you for looking.

----------
(*1) In fact, in modern firearms, only 32% of the potential energy given by the propellant is used for the bullet motion. Most of the energy is wasted in hot gases/noises (34%), in barrel heat ( about 30%), in barrel friction (about 2%) or is simply not used (about 1% of the energy is even not released because a small part of the powder didn't go off).
(*2)So what can we do? A longer barrel means that hot gases are going to give more energy to the bullet. We can also use metamaterials wich deflect waves (here shock waves) and give there energy to the next round fired. We can also use Pelletier systems to convert the heat in electricity and then give it to the next bullet fired. This can work only if efficient energy conductor are use. Wich means that the weapon will be heavier, will be expensive, will have a low rate of fire but will be more powerful, acurate and have a longer range, thermal and noise reduction (except if there are no metamaterials around the muzzle or/and if the bullet is supersonic).
But in the ARET 2.0 weapon set, the barrel is replaced by a MHD generator wich converts the motion of the hot gases in electricity which is sent to a a bench of capacitors. These devices will then send an important electric discharge to the coil wich will turn in a magnet and then atract the bullet at high speed. Here, there is no hot gases existing the muzzle. The ARET 2.0 weapons are lighter, more compact and even more powerful than their ARET 1.0 equivalents.
This leads to the meanings of the weapon set name "ARET" which stands for Armes à Récupération de l'Energie des Tirs (shot's energy recovery weapons).
Europe’s first powerful superconducting magnet for ITER is ready. More than 40 companies, counting 700 people, have received money from the EU to manufacture this component. Nine more magnets are in production.
Love the colors on this old machine...needs some cleaning and oiling - should work great then, hopefully : )

There are now screens between the ticket machines. I always buy a ticket from the ticket office as it can be difficult to follow the instructions to get the right ticket.
