The Postcard
A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was posted in Bognor on Thursday the 22nd. September 1904 to:
Miss G. Moore,
c/o Mrs. Tanner,
Royal William Yard,
Stonehouse,
Devon.
The brief message on the divided back was as follows:
"just arrived here.
A lovely stay.
With love,
N."
The Bathing Machine
Note the bathing machines on the beach.
The bathing machine is a Victorian device that declined in popularity in the first decade of the 20th. century when mixed gender bathing became acceptable.
The machine allowed people (especially women) to enter the water without being seen in their bathing costume by the opposite sex. How times have changed!
There are two modern close-up coloured views of a preserved bathing machine on the pepandtim photostream - if you do a tags search, the codes 54BML98 and 34EAS32 will get you there.
Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis is a seaside resort in West Sussex on the south coast of England, 55.5 miles (89 km) south-west of London.
The resort was developed by Sir Richard Hotham in the late 18th. century on what was a sandy, undeveloped coastline. It has been claimed that Hotham and his new resort are portrayed in Jane Austen's unfinished novel Sanditon.
The resort grew slowly in the first half of the 19th. century, but grew rapidly following the coming of the railway in 1864.
In 1929 the area was chosen by advisers as a suitable place for King George V to recuperate, which led to its regal suffix, by royal consent.
Butlin's has been present in the town since the early 1930's when an amusement park and zoo were opened. A holiday camp followed in 1960, and this has more recently moved towards hotel accommodation with modern amenities.
The First Female Flight Attendant
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 22nd. September 1904, Ellen Church was born in Cresco, Iowa. She became the first female flight attendant.
After graduating from Cresco High School, Church studied nursing, and worked in a San Francisco hospital. She was a pilot as well as a registered nurse.
Steve Stimpson, the manager of the San Francisco office of Boeing Air Transport (BAT), would not hire her as a pilot, but did pass along her suggestion to put nurses on board aeroplanes to calm the public's fear of flying.
In 1930, BAT hired Church as head stewardess, and she recruited seven others for a three-month trial period.
The stewardesses, or 'Sky Girls' as BAT called them, had to be registered nurses, 'Single, younger than 25 years old; weigh less than 115 pounds [52 kg]; and stand less than 5 feet, 4 inches tall [1.63 m]'.
In addition to attending to the passengers, they were expected to, when necessary, help with hauling luggage, fuelling and assisting pilots to push the aircraft into hangars. However, the salary was good at $125 a month.
Church became the first stewardess to fly. On the 15th. May 1930, she embarked on a Boeing 80A for a 20-hour flight from Oakland/San Francisco to Chicago, with 13 stops and 14 passengers.
Death of Ellen Church
The innovation was a resounding success - the other airlines followed BAT's example over the next few years, but an injury from an automobile accident terminated Church's career after 18 months.
A horse riding accident ended her life on the 22nd. August 1965.

After noticing my War Machine didn't have matching armor to the movie, and mt Iron Man's armor fell apart I made new ones. The armor is made out of sculpy. it was painted by me. The Iron man is based off of the Mark III; correct me if I'm wrong. the sculpy is in the shape of a triangle, bit the LED is not :(.

We definitely have a feeling of autumn this Labor Day. The first weekend of September has me waking up to 43F and it feels a little nip outside. We will be moving back into the mid eighties this week
Notice all the belts on a threshing machine. It is not a very safe place for children unless they are carefully supervised. I can remember as a youngster being continually warned to stay away from the machine.

Vending machine culture is a very special culture in Japan. Everywhere you go, you'll sure see one on the street. There're many kind of machine available, from toy to tobacco, beer, to soft drink. Even some of the ramen shop need you to buy food ticket from the machine. One special thing about the softdrink machine is they have hot drink, this is very helpful especially the weather is cold during the winter.

I've shot a few of mine. Here's my coworker and friend's 3Rensho. The rack is made from an old porcelain coated "DANGER - Explosives" sign found in the Powerhouse(an old Portland Punk house) among the many old signs left over from its earlier days. It's a custom TCB Racks work(Tad's racks fold flat and fit into a pizza box). I'm working on taking operations over and the stock racks will be back into production once I learn the ropes a bit more.

Heavily processed video (apps now make dreamified videos, too!) of the toy machine at the Yuni Onsen in Hokkaido. The processing gives the toy machine a vaguely malevolent look...
Lewis Machine Gun. American invention which the US Army rejected in 1912. Taken to Europe, it gained acceptance and was in production at the start of World War I. Used by most of the human race, except for the Vatican. The US Army adopted it when the US entered World War I. Used in both world wars. Last time used in combat in the 1990s.
The Indiana World War Memorial is a monumental building, modeled after the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, conceived in 1919 to honor the veterans of World War I. It houses a military museum which I visited on October 25, 2019.
This is one of series of images of the same Wolseley saloon in various locations.
We assume that it was an unmarked police car but we have no idea why the images were taken.
Any suggestions as to the location?

Just a small creation I designed after a machine we have at my job. It's not much, but I think little details like this can make a bigger MOC a more realistic.

I told some of you last Thursday of the principles of the Time Machine, and showed you the actual thing itself, incomplete in the workshop. There it is now, a little travel-worn, truly; and one of the ivory bars is cracked, and a brass rail bent; but the rest of it’s sound enough. I expected to finish it on Friday; but on Friday, when the putting together was nearly done, I found that one of the nickel bars was exactly one inch too short, and this I had to get remade; so that the thing was not complete until this morning. It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last tap, tried all the screws again, put one more drop of oil on the quartz rod, and sat myself in the saddle. I suppose a suicide who holds a pistol to his skull feels much the same wonder at what will come next as I felt then. - H. G. Wells
