How Scots lived 2,500 years ago - did they use them to protect their families and livestock from the local Bears, Wolves & Lynx etc. as it would appear they traded, manufactured and farmed - it is also questionable that they ate fish despite the fact Loch Tay must have been full of Salmon & Trout.
A new occasional series I am thinking about based on a day out. This is part of a set from my day out at the Birmingham NEC for a manufacturing trade fair with my designer daughter.

"Jenny Lind" style leather trunk manufactured 1865-1868 by Crouch & Fitzgerald of New York City, NY. Restored by Jesse Connor.
Continuing this week's 'Spitfire' theme - here is a profile view of a Spitfire Mk 1. A key feature is the barely perceptible, tapering, twist to the wing. The leading edge points upwards by 2 degrees where it joins the body, reducing to half a degree at the tip. This subtle twist greatly improved the handling for pilots, but made the structure far more difficult to manufacture. The wing was the design of Canadian-born aerodynamicist Beverley Shenstone, an unsung hero of the Spitfire story.
This aircraft carries the Eagle Squadron badge. Three RAF squadrons were formed with volunteer airmen from the USA in 1940 before American entry into WW2. About 240 men served, of whom around 100 perished. In Sept 1942, the US airmen transferred to the US 8th Army Air Force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Squadrons
thanks to Joe Heeney, who has authorised me to use this photo of the very same plane in the previous photo...here is the end of this remarkable plane that I believe was manufactured in 1963...eventually airframe corrosion becomes so rampant that it is beyond economic repair ...the death knell has sounded...shortly after this photo was taken, the plane was wheeled into a hangar, and systematically reduced to rubble..an amazing time lapse video taken from a ceiling mounted camera exists showing the complete airframe disappear in about 15 minutes...in real time I think it took about 3 months !!..wish I could see it again..it was heart rending to see it's massacre....some one in Shannon can perhaps direct us??..maybe it is on YouTube..
The heritage of Ibi, a manufacturing town in the mountainous interior of Alicante province, eastern Spain.
The reality according the online -information:
a rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the Sun.There are seven colours in the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Samaritan's Purse
Douglas DC-3-65TP

Fortaleza - Pinto Martins Int'l Airport (FOR/SBFZ)

Such a wonderful sight: a beautiful and very well maintained DC-3 in 2017! Samaritan's Purse DC-3 Turboprop is seen here parked at the cargo terminal, being lit by a beautiful sunset light. A very shiny and clean fuselage shows how nicely this DC-3 is kept. Sure, the PT6 turboprops take away most of the classic feeling, but still is an amazing machine. Manufactured in 1945!

This is a 2-seat version and is used to give extremely expensive passenger rides.
I have mixed feelings about these modern, 2-seat conversions. Apart from a couple of one-off examples, there were no two-seaters during the war; your first flight in a Spitfire was strictly a solo affair. In the late 1940s, a small number of 2-seaters were manufactured (or converted Mk IXs) for the Indian and Irish Air Forces - about 17 in total. In recent years, several more, otherwise perfectly serviceable, Mk IXs have been butchered to make 2-seaters. The revenue from joyrides helps keeps the single seat aircraft flying. Even so, the T9s are my least favourite Spitfires to see, and I rarely photograph them.
This aircraft, MJ627, is a genuine war survivor and is known to have shot down an enemy aircraft. It appears to be one of the original batch converted for the Irish Air Force in 1950.
If you fancy a flight in the back seat of a Spitfire, be prepared to hand over about £3,000/$4,000 for a 30 minutes experience.
Cette statue contemporaine en bronze représente un personnage populaire qu’on pouvait croiser naguère dans les rues de Verviers. Il s’agissait d’une sorte de représentant de commerce qui allait proposer sa marchandise chez les lainiers. Il transportait et présentait ses échantillons de laines (venus d’Argentine, du Chili, d’Australie et d’Afrique du Sud) contenus dans des cylindres de papier bleu. Vers 1950, ces marchands étaient encore près de 200 à Verviers. Il y avait tellement de filatures à visiter qu’il fallait une semaine pour en faire le tour. Le sens premier de l’expression « ploquettes » se rapporte aux déchets provenant des loups-cardes c’est-à-dire des premières machines à épurer les laines brutes fort chargées de matières végétales et autres impuretés qui devaient être carboniséesavant leur réintroduction dans la fabrication. Les fameux cylindres de papier bleu pouvaient contenir des ploquettes mais très souvent il s’agissait d’échantillons de laine pure. Cette statue de Louis-Pierre Wagelmans symbolise donc l’éclat de l’industrie florissante de la laine à Verviers.
This contemporary bronze statue represents a popular character that could once be seen in the streets of Verviers. He was a sort of sales representative who was going to sell his wares to the woolen companies. He carried and displayed his wool samples (from Argentina, Chile, Australia and South Africa) contained in cylinders of blue paper. Around 1950, there were still nearly 200 of these merchants in Verviers. There were so many spinning mills to visit that it took a week to tour them. The primary meaning of the expression "ploquettes" relates to the waste coming from the wolves, that is to say from the first machines to purify the raw wools heavily loaded with vegetable matter and other impurities which had to be carbonized before their reintroduction in the manufacturing. The famous blue paper cylinders might contain small flakes, but very often they were samples of pure wool. This statue of Louis-Pierre Wagelmans therefore symbolizes the brilliance of the flourishing wool industry in Verviers.
On the Baker College campus in Allen Park Michigan is this sculpture which I believe pays homage to engineering and manufacturing. With the exception of the legs (which are made from tree limbs) this fine looking animal is constructed out of everything form hubcaps, tractor seats, snow shovels to fifty five gallon drums. It stands about ten feet tall.
Le Passage du Sphinx est un passage carrelé couvert de 120 mètres de long entre le bâtiment Eiffel et Pathé. Près de 30 000 carreaux font revivre l'histoire du Sphinx de Maastricht à travers des mots, des images et des objets.
Un espace pour le passé
Autour du bâtiment Eiffel, le Sphinxkwartier se développe rapidement pour devenir un quartier urbain moderne et dynamique. La restauration du bâtiment Eiffel est terminée et le Student Hotel occupe une grande partie du bâtiment depuis septembre 2017. Le bâtiment Eiffel continuera de fonctionner en 2018, avec de nouvelles fonctions résidentielles, commerciales et de vente au détail. En attendant, le passé n'est pas perdu de vue : avec l'ouverture du passage du Sphinx, la riche histoire du quartier a également trouvé une place permanente.
Le plus long tableau de carreaux des Pays-Bas
Avec un mélange, entre autres, de portraits de famille, de bâtiments d'usine, de décorations de vaisselle, de vieilles publicités et de cuvettes de toilettes, les tableaux de carreaux racontent l'histoire du Sphinx et de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht en 26 chapitres. Chaque tableau est accompagné d'une histoire de fond (en néerlandais et en anglais), écrite par les historiens Jac van den Boogaard et Paul Arnold. De la fondation de la manufacture du Sphinx par Petrus Regout à sa fermeture en plein centre-ville, le Passage du Sphinx offre aux visiteurs un aperçu unique de l'histoire de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht. Long de 120 mètres, il est le plus long passage couvert de tableaux de faïence des Pays-Bas.
The Sphinx Passage is a 120-meter-long covered tiled passageway between the Eiffel Building and Pathé. Nearly 30,000 tiles bring the history of the Maastricht Sphinx to life through words, images, and objects.
A space for the past
Around the Eiffel Building, the Sphinxkwartier is rapidly developing into a modern and vibrant urban neighborhood. The restoration of the Eiffel Building is complete, and the Student Hotel has occupied a large part of the building since September 2017. The Eiffel Building will continue to operate in 2018, with new residential, commercial, and retail functions. Meanwhile, the past is not lost on us: with the opening of the Sphinx Passage, the neighborhood's rich history has also found a permanent home. The longest tile painting in the Netherlands
Featuring a mix of family portraits, factory buildings, crockery decorations, old advertisements, and toilet bowls, among other things, the tile paintings tell the story of the Sphinx and Maastricht's ceramic industry in 26 chapters. Each painting is accompanied by a background story (in Dutch and English), written by historians Jac van den Boogaard and Paul Arnold. From the founding of the Sphinx factory by Petrus Regout to its closure in the city center, the Sphinx Passage offers visitors a unique insight into the history of Maastricht's ceramic industry. At 120 meters long, it is the longest tile painting passage in the Netherlands.

From Making to Thinking
Toronto's unprecedented building boom is reflective of the economic shift from the manufacturing economy to the knowledge economy. It is particularly acute in the area known as the railway lands and surrounding area.

Swine flu from Mexico, news of manufacturing plant scandals that made it back to the U.S., SARS 1 pandemic from China, SARS 2 from China, tariffs, a trade war turning into a cold war, the worldwide Covid pandemic from Wuhan of 2020-2021 that crippled the economy, which nearly shut the company permanently down.
Things are shifting. There are persuasive arguments being discussed among CEOs about hidden long-term costs of manufacturing overseas that do not show up in quarterly and annual financial statements but that bite back hard. Has the equilibrium point and risk shifted so that their company's best financial interest is to bring manufacturing back? That means higher prices. Will those discussions become reality?
Mercedes-Benz (German pronunciation: [mɛʁˌtseːdəs ˈbɛnts, -dɛs -] ⓘ),[6][7][a] commonly referred to simply as Mercedes and occasionally as Benz, is a German automotive brand that was founded in 1926. Mercedes-Benz AG (a subsidiary of the Mercedes-Benz Group, established in 2019) is based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.[1] Mercedes-Benz AG manufactures luxury vehicles and light commercial vehicles, all branded under the Mercedes-Benz name. From November 2019 onwards, the production of Mercedes-Benz-branded heavy commercial vehicles (trucks and buses) has been managed by Daimler Truck, which separated from the Mercedes-Benz Group to form an independent entity at the end of 2021.
In 2018, Mercedes-Benz became the world’s largest premium vehicle brand, with a sales volume of 2.31 million passenger cars.[8]
The roots of the brand trace back to the 1901 Mercedes by Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft and the 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen and 1894 Benz Velo by Carl Benz, which is widely recognized as the first automobile powered by an internal combustion engine. The brand’s slogan is "The Best or Nothing".[9]
History
See also: List of companies involved in the Holocaust, Diesel emissions scandal, and History of the automobile
Carl Benz (1844–1929) made the 1886 Benz Patent Motorwagen, which is widely regarded as the first automobile.
Mercedes-Benz traces its origins to Carl Benz's first internal combustion engine in a car, seen in the Benz Patent-Motorwagen – financed by Bertha Benz's dowry[10] and patented in January 1886[11] – and Gottlieb Daimler and its engineer Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach, with the addition of a petrol engine, introduced later that year. The Mercedes automobile was first marketed in 1901 by Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG).
Emil Jellinek, an Austrian automobile entrepreneur who worked with DMG, registered the trademark in 1902, naming the 1901 Mercedes 35 hp after his daughter Mercédès Jellinek. Jellinek was a businessman and marketing strategist who promoted "horseless" Daimler automobiles among the highest circles of society. At the time, it was a meeting place for the haute volée of France and Europe, especially in winter. His customers included the Rothschild family and other wealthy clients, but as early as 1901, he was selling Mercedes cars in the "New World" as well, including to billionaires Rockefeller, Astor, Morgan, and Taylor. At the Nice race he attended in 1899, Jellinek drove under the pseudonym "Monsieur Mercédès". Many consider that race the birth of Mercedes-Benz as a brand. In 1901, the name "Mercedes" was re-registered by DMG worldwide as a protected trademark. The first Mercedes-Benz branded vehicles were produced in 1926, following the merger of Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler's companies into the Daimler-Benz company on 28 June of the same year.[11][12]
Gottlieb Daimler (1834–1900) – founder of Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft
Gottlieb Daimler was born on 17 March 1834 in Schorndorf. After training as a gunsmith and working in France, he attended the Polytechnic School in Stuttgart from 1857 to 1859. After completing various technical activities in France and England, he started working as a draftsman in Geislingen in 1862. At the end of 1863, he was appointed workshop inspector at a machine-tool factory in Reutlingen, where he met Wilhelm Maybach in 1865. Wikipedia
a monument to the New Year?? … hopefully not a false one, but this is the shadow of my phone whilst welcoming in the New Year up on Sharpenhurst Hill … fireworks all around … very nice to see … and warm enough to be only wearing shorts and a t-shirt!! :-)
Maryland Department Of Transportation NPCU (Non-Powered Control Unit) #7100 sits for the weekend on a stub track at the former B&O roundhouse in Brunswick Yard on September 3, 1990. The 7100 was manufactured by EMD in February 1951 for the B&O as F7 #293A-a phase 1 F7 to be precise. It was renumbered 4553 during 1957 when all remaining B&O steam locomotives were renumbered from a 4 digit series to a three digit series to make room for the expanding diesel electric fleet.
