My travels around the UK by car for three weeks with my son. June/July 2019 Scotland.
Day Nineteen .. visiting Cragside in England before making our way down to Ravenscar for the night.
Cragside, the dream home of Lord and Lady Armstrong β a Victorian house that was light-years ahead of its time. The home of hydroelectricity, Lord and Lady Armstrong used their wealth, art and science in an ingenious way. What began as a modest country retreat quickly became one of the most technologically advanced homes of the Victorian age.
It was the home of William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong, founder of the Armstrong Whitworth armaments firm. An industrial magnate, scientist, philanthropist and inventor of the hydraulic crane and the Armstrong gun, Armstrong also displayed his inventiveness in the domestic sphere, making Cragside the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. The estate was technologically advanced; the architect of the house, Richard Norman Shaw, wrote that it was equipped with "wonderful hydraulic machines that do all sorts of things". In the grounds, Armstrong built dams and lakes to power a sawmill, a water-powered laundry, early versions of a dishwasher and a dumb waiter, a hydraulic lift and a hydroelectric rotisserie. In 1887, Armstrong was raised to the peerage, the first engineer or scientist to be ennobled, and became Baron Armstrong of Cragside.

This bathing machine was built specially for Queen Victoria, who used it regularly whilst staying at Osborne House, her holiday home on the Isle of Wight. It was first used in 1847 but after her death was used aa a chicken shed at nearby Barton Manor. Restored in 1951 it eventually found its way back to the beach area.
The bathing machine was run into the sea from the beach along a 146m long ramp, the wheels guided by groves and it was pulled back up using a wire rope & winch.
At the time is was used by the Queen ladies bathing suites were more like gowns & very little of the body was actually exposed.

El yerno y la nieta de una antigua profesora mΓa en el instituto. Se sentaron a tomar algo en la misma terraza donde estaba yo con mi familia, cuando vi que sacaron la guitarra pensΓ© en la cΓ‘mara que llevaba en el bolso para seguir probando el objetivo manual y hacerme mΓ‘s a Γ©l, y como mi marido me decΓa que nunca lo iba a tener mΓ‘s fΓ‘cil pues me anime a preguntarle a mi antigua profesora si le importaba que les hiciera una foto.
No sΓ³lo no le importΓ³, sino que ademΓ‘s me dijo que los dos forman un grupo musical, su yerno toca y compone y la nieta canta, una voz preciosa por lo que estoy escuchando en la maqueta que tienen en YouTube y de la que os pongo el enlace. El grupo se llama Acoustic Soul Machine, disfrutad de su mΓΊsica :)

The Penguincubator appeared in London in 1937. Conceived by Allen Lane, the founder of Penguin Books, the Penguincubator dispensed classic literature in paperback form for about the same price as a pack of cigarettes.
Sir Allen may have succeeded in changing English reading habits, but the Penguincubator had little to do with it. Specifically, it was never manufactured in sufficient quantity to make an impact on the market.

In June 1947, Popular Science featured an early book vending machine called the Book-O-Mat which offered a selection of 50 books published by Pocket Books, any one of which could be purchased for a quarter.

In the early 1950s Avon Books created the VendAvon, a coin-operated book vending machine, found in airports, hospitals, and ferry terminals. Avon installed 210 machines, each containing 24 of the latest Avon titles, across several states.

The Biblio-Mat is a random book dispenser built by Craig Small for The Monkey's Paw, an idiosyncratic antiquarian bookshop in Toronto. Biblio-Mat books, which vary widely in size and subject matter, cost two dollars. The machine was conceived as an artful alternative to the ubiquitous and often ignored discount sidewalk bin. When a customer puts coins into it, the Biblio-Mat dramatically whirrs and vibrates as the machine is set in motion. The ring of an old telephone bell enhances the thrill when the customer's mystery book is delivered with a satisfying clunk into the receptacle below.

Front loaded lego washing machine with openable door and detergent drawer, on/off switch, rotatable drum, hoses for cold water and drain and a plug.
This is my mod of the Mystery Machine. I think LEGO did a great job with the set but I wanted the van to be able to fit all of the gang.
