At the end of the 19th century a greenhouse was built adjacent to Gripsholm Castle. The greenhouse seen today is a reconstruction of the one that existed at the end of the 1800s.
It’s no accident that the golden age of the greenhouse coincided with a repeal of taxes on window glass in the mid 1800s. Glass, previously precious, was now manufactured in large quantity and made widely available

The Happy Bear—that’s what they called the impish critter who was the mascot and logo for the Bear Manufacturing Company a business which opened in Rock Island and stayed on for a long run. The founders of Bear were brothers Will and Henry Damman, who invented an electric starter for the Model T so auto owners could forget their cranks. They moved to Rock Island in 1913 to manufacture and sell the starter. The company was quickly successful – the starter was so popular that Henry Ford started making electric starters standard equipment, and the Dammen’s market disappeared.
Remarkably undeterred, they still saw a business future in the automotive business and went on to build the company that was incorporated in 1917 to design and manufacture auto equipment. Bear equipment became the standard for diagnosis and repair of wheel, steering, and frame alignment. Later the company expanded auto safety equipment of all types.
The Happy Bear was with them from the earliest days. The accepted version of the little guy is bearlogo2abased on a vintage slang expression, “It’s a bear!” Nowadays, of course, that would mean it’s a tough job, but 80 years ago, it referred to a product that was rugged and top-quality. Will Dammen thought it a perfect symbol for his top quality company.
Bear not only manufactured equipment, it trained people from all over the country how to use that equipment. After training mechanics for twenty years, more space was needed. On today’s postcard, we show the new $400,000 modernistic Bear Automotive Safety Service School which opened in 1949 and tripled the number of students who could be accommodated.
The grand opening was called an event of national importance in the automobile world, because it was the only school exclusively devoted to teaching a variety of subjects related to motor vehicle safety. There was an elaborate three-day opening celebration, with a dinner for 300 auto executives held at the new school on 21st Street at 5th Avenue. Keynote speaker was the director of training for general Motors. Probably much more entertaining was Wilbur “Gentlemen, start your engines” Shaw, Indy Speedway President and racing champion, who told tales of his racing days to a large lunch crowd of local business and civic leaders.
There’s a rule about buildings – they have to be at least fifty years old to be considered historic. That’s according to the requirements for the National Register of Historic Places. The logic behind it is that a building must stand the test of time. Will we think it’s as good fifty years from now as we do now? Conversely, buildings we don’t like or overlook now may be harbingers of the future and, as such, are historic. But we won’t know for sure fifty years.
The fifty years is up for the Bear school. And it’s looking mighty historic. Its style is officially called Modernistic, but most people can look at it and recognize it as a first cousin to the trains of the forties – the “streamliners” that were such a drastic change from the old style engines. Streamlining evoked speed. Cars were streamlined, too, even toasters and coffeepots.
Streamlining of the Bear School is most apparent on the second story where the sweep of the vertical aluminum around the corner and the continuous line of metal-framed windows look just as they did in 1940. Integral metal awnings carry out this sweeping look. The Bear signs, streamlined in their own design, are located at either end of the building, so they don’t interrupt the flow of the design. The first story is more utilitarian, largely constructed of brick.
Bear Manufacturing thrived under Damman leadership, even into the second generation. Will Damman’s daughter, Doris Damman Day, and her husband, Victor, were in charge of the locally owned company for many years until it was finally sold to a multinational corporation.
When the Damman/Day family sold the company, manufacturing facilities remained in Rock Island, but the school was closed in the 1970s. By 1980, the manufacturing operations in Rock Island started closing as well. Although Bear products are still made and sold by the SPX Corporation of Waukesha, Wisconsin, there’s no indication of the Happy Bear on their website. It’s easy to speculate that he’s not so happy now.
But Happy Bear would probably give us a big grin when he sees his old school still being used by the Rock Island – Milan School District as its alternative education high school. Recently, windows on the first floor were shortened (windows had already replaced some of the large overhead doors). Over the years, 5th Avenue had been widened considerably, and the very low windows were not compatible with the speedy traffic there. School architect William Appier’s designs kept the best of this historic building while adapting it for safety and classroom needs.
The Bates Manufacturing Company was established in Lewiston, Maine in 1850 by Benjamin Bates. It quickly became one of the largest textile manufacturers in New England and transformed Lewiston from a struggling agricultural town into a booming industrial city. By 1857, the Bates Mill in Lewiston ran 36,000 spindles, employed 1,000 hands, and annually turned out 5.7 million yards of the best quality of cotton goods. Even after winning multiple achievements and awards for his textiles, including “Best Pantaloon Stuffs” and “Best Plain and Fancy Cotton Fabrics”, Bates wanted more. Accordingly, in 1858 the Bates Manufacturing Company wove the first Bates bedspread.
Upon the start of the Civil War, most New England mills started selling their cotton stock, assuming that the war would only last 90 days. Instead, Benjamin Bates bought as much cotton as he could find (despite the skyrocketing prices) and became the main supplier of Union textiles during the 4 year war. Even afterward, despite post-war depression, the Bates Manufacturing Company prospered and continued to expand. It was at this time that the French-Canadian population began to immigrate to Lewiston for work; even today the city of Lewiston continues to have a great French-Canadian influence (and many of the current mill workers have French-Canadian ancestors that began their American lives as mill workers).[Company website].
Lewiston is also the home of Bates College co-founded by Benjamin Bates.

A Chinese truck as it is used in the thousands, especially in the poorer countryside. It carries everything, from workers to bricks and crops. The engine block is mounted on the front. The vibrations and noise produced by this monster are unbelievable as are the black fumes it shoots into the air. My guess is that a great deal of the pollution in China goes back to vehicles like that. They are still in production. I saw a lot of brand new ones lined up at a yard of a vendor.
This picture was taken in April 2010 in Manzhao village in Xishuangbanna, west of JingHong. The village seems to be wealthier than other villages. They have a school, a lot of houses are new (like the one in the background with the blue roof) and the streets are paved. The workers on the picture are finishing another building. A lot of villages in Xishuangbanna have become relatively rich by tearing down rain forrest and planting rubber trees instead. This village however, is visited mostly for it's paper manufacturing and tea production.

Manufactured by Gents of Leicester and hanging high over the main concourse, Waterloo’s huge four-sided clock has been a popular meeting point for Londoners (especially those on a romantic rendezvous) since the early 1920s.
The Mk IX was the second most numerous of any Spitfire version manufactured after the Mk V.
It was rushed into production over the slightly better Mk VIII as a short-term counter to the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, which was superior in most ways to then current Spitfire Mk V.
Externally, the Mk IX can be differentiated from earlier Spitfire versions by having a four-bladed propeller, and unlike the Mk VIII, does not have a retractable tail wheel. This particular Spitfire dates from 1944 and has a supercharger optimized for lower level performance, making it an 'LF' model. It is fitted with the 'e' wing which eliminated the four outer machine gun positions. This machine only has two of the remaining four inner positions fitted with either cannons or heavy machine guns. Despite being painted in large red letters, the squadron codes of QJ are surprisingly hard to make out!

Henley-on-Thames is a town and civil parish on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England, about 10 miles (16 km) downstream and 7 miles (11 km) northeast of Reading, 10 miles upstream and 7 miles west from Maidenhead. One of its boundaries has the tripoint of Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. The first record of Henley is from 1179, when it is recorded that King Henry II "had bought land for the making of buildings". King John granted the manor of Benson and the town and manor of Henley to Robert Harcourt in 1199. A church at Henley is first mentioned in 1204. In 1205 the town received a paviage grant, and in 1234 the bridge is first mentioned. In 1278 Henley is described as a hamlet of Benson with a chapel. The street plan was probably established by the end of the 13th century. As a demesne of the crown it was granted in 1337 to John de Molyns, whose family held it for about 250 years. It is said that members for Henley sat in parliaments of Edward I and Edward III, but no writs have been found to substantiate this. The existing Thursday market, it is believed, was granted by a charter of King John. A market was certainly in existence by 1269; however, the jurors of the assize of 1284 said that they did not know by what warrant the earl of Cornwall held a market and fair in the town of Henley. The existing Corpus Christi fair was granted by a charter of Henry VI. During the Black Death pandemic that swept through England in the 14th century, Henley lost 60% of its population. By the beginning of the 16th century the town extended along the west bank of the Thames from Friday Street in the south to the Manor, now Phyllis Court, in the north and took in Hart Street and New Street. To the west it included Bell Street and the Market Place. Henry VIII granted the use of the titles "mayor" and "burgess", and the town was incorporated in 1568 in the name of the warden, portreeves, burgesses and commonalty. The original charter was issued by Elizabeth I but replaced by one from George I in 1722. Henley suffered at the hands of both parties in the Civil War. Later, William III rested here on his march to London in 1688, at the nearby recently rebuilt Fawley Court, and received a deputation from the Lords. The town's period of prosperity in the 17th and 18th centuries was due to manufactures of glass and malt, and trade in corn and wool. Henley-on-Thames supplied London with timber and grain. A workhouse to accommodate 150 people was built at West Hill in Henley in 1790, and was later enlarged to accommodate 250 as the Henley Poor Law Union workhouse. Henley Bridge is a five arched bridge across the river built in 1786. It is a Grade I listed building. During 2011 the bridge underwent a £200,000 repair programme after being hit by the boat Crazy Love in August 2010. About a mile upstream of the bridge is Marsh Lock. Chantry House is the second Grade I listed building in the town. It is unusual in having more storeys on one side than on the other. Chantry House, next to the church. The Church of England parish church of St Mary the Virgin is nearby, and has a 16th-century tower. The Old Bell is a pub in the centre of Henley. The building has been dated from 1325: the oldest-dated building in the town. To celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee, 60 oak trees were planted in the shape of a Victoria Cross near Fair Mile. Two notable buildings just outside Henley, in Buckinghamshire, are:- Fawley Court, a red-brick building designed by Christopher Wren for William Freeman (1684) with subsequent interior remodelling by James Wyatt and landscaping by Lancelot "Capability" Brown. Greenlands, which took its present form when owned by W. H. Smith and is now home to Henley Business School The River and Rowing Museum, located in Mill Meadows, is the town's one museum. It was established in 1998, and officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II. The museum, designed by the architect David Chipperfield, features information on the River Thames, the sport of rowing, and the town of Henley itself. The University of Reading's Henley Business School is near Henley, as is Henley College. Henley is a world-renowned centre for rowing. Each summer the Henley Royal Regatta is held on Henley Reach, a naturally straight stretch of the river just north of the town. It was extended artificially. The event became "Royal" in 1851, when Prince Albert became patron of the regatta. Other regattas and rowing races are held on the same reach, including Henley Women's Regatta, the Henley Boat Races for women's and lightweight teams between Oxford and Cambridge University, Henley Town and Visitors Regatta, Henley Veteran Regatta, Upper Thames Small Boats Head, Henley Fours and Eights Head, and Henley Sculls. These "Heads" often attract strong crews that have won medals at National Championships.

Yesterday's manufacturing seemed to work an extra bit of magic. Today we enjoyed a surge of several degrees in temperature and I was very excited to get back to my favourite spot. Waves, sunlight, a fresh breeze - I know it's just a tease, but somehow it was just enough of a promise to get me through a few more weeks of winter.

One of my favourite places in Prague, I thought I'd missed the chance to photograph this room as they closed up at 12 but it was only for an hour. Enough time to sample the monastery's on-site micro brewery selling very nice unpasteurised amber beer. The staff were also very patient with me whilst taking this shot with my tripod and lots of other visitors! You must buy a photography licence to take pictures in the monastery; however, it was only a small sum. Well worth it to work with such a location. There's also a guided tour that takes you into the rooms that aren't open to the public but it must be booked a few days in advance and subject to availability.
The Royal Canonry of Premonstratensians at Strahov is one of the oldest monasteries of the Premonstratensian Order in the world. It has been a working monastery practically ever since it was founded in 1142. Fire, the Hussite Wars, religious wars, and the Communists all failed to shut down this institution. Even when the members of the monastery were unable to live within its walls, they gathered wherever they could and nurtured the spirit of their House until they were able to return to the monastery complex.
The Theological Hall was built under Abbot Jeroným Hirnhaim (1671-1679). The architect was a Prague burgher of Italian origin, Giovanni Domennico Orsi, whose Italian school is evident in the stucco cartouches. The Baroque concept of the library is demonstrated by the shelves; unlike the Romanesque treasury system or the Gothic desk system, the books were stored upright. Above the shelves, there are gilded wooded carved decorations with wooden cartouches. This was a rudimentary library aid, because the pictures in the wooden cartouches and their titles specified the type of literature stored on the shelves. At this time (1672) Library Rules were compiled by Abbot Hirnhaim.
Theological Hall 1 Fifty years later, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the translation of St Norbert's relics (1727), the hall was extended by several metres. It was then decorated with frescoes by the Strahov Premonstratensian and painter Siard Nosecký. Symbolically, and based on quotations from the Bible (mainly Proverbs) and in part from the philosophical tracts of the hall's founder, Abbot Hirnhaim, he presented the true wisdom we acquire through piety, fear of God. In his tracts, Hirnhaim opposed scholasticism and its racionalistic understanding of the world and truth, which he believed to be false or proud wisdom. He wanted to gain an understanding of the world through true humble piety. A person enlightened by faith, however, must build on knowledge and education. The library hosts several frescoes as a symbol of this principle. Above the forged iron gates on the other side of the library there is a small legend: INITIUM SAPIENTIAE TIMOR DOMINI - the beginning of wisdom is fear of God. It remains a paradox that the philosophical works of the library's founder were put on the index of forbidden books and were therefore placed in special locked cabinets above both the hall doors; Hirnhaim himself had these cabinets installed. As time passed, publication of his works was permitted, and they became the inspiration for Siard Nosecký. A portrait of Jeroným Hirnhaim hangs by the first window, Nosecký's self-portrait by the second.
Theological Hall 2 The left-hand side of the hall is dominated by a Late-Gothic wooden statue of St John the Evangelist. The link between this statue and the library is his small pouch, held by St John in his left hand. This pouch called girdle-book, although frequently depicted in manuscripts, has only been preserved in several cases, mainly because of the purpose it served - as a travel bag. It was either destroyed during journeys or cut off on inclusion in the book collection. On the right-hand side, there is a 'compilation wheel', commissioned by the library in 1678 and used to compile texts. The scribe had the various sources he was using distributed over the shelves of the wheel. The planet mechanism means that when turned, its shelves were kept at the same angle so the books are not liable to fall.
A number of globes (both astronomical and terrestrial) line both sides of the Theological Hall. Some of them come from the workshop of the Rotterdam-based family Blaeu, which specialized in manufacturing maps, atlases, and globes over several generations in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Over 18,000 volumes are stored in the Theological Hall. The name of the hall comes from the content of these works. The northern wall contains nothing but different editions of the Bible or parts of the Bible in many languages.
In 1993 and 1994, the interior was restored; the shelves were completely dismantled and the wood was treated. At the end of the 1980s, the original red paint was discovered under the later blue-grey paint, and this red was used in the restoration as the oldest layer. The parquets from the 20th century were replaced with a historically and aesthetically more accurate copy of the original Baroque flooring. The original visitors' route went through all the main areas of the library. After long-term readings were analyzed, the tour was adjusted to the current version, as the humidity in the halls fluctuated so much during the day that the good condition of the frescoes and book bindings was in jeopardy.
The Strahov Monastic Brewery was first founded by King Vladislav II in 1142.

When Edward Burtynsky (1955- ) turned his attention to China in 2000, it seemed a natural continuation of the photographs he had been creating for over twenty years. Universally termed "industrial landscapes," his images focus on the environmental and cultural impact of Man-made technologies. In 'Manufacturing #10' Burtynsky unearths a beauty in his subjects, striking a nuanced balance between the harsh objectivity of the works' documentarian context and the finesse of contemporary art photography.
Burtynsky's oversized works have a sense of grandiosity and monumentality. There is an initial visual appeal of vibrant colors, details and scale; however, on closer inspection, the environmental dilemma unfolds. They are introspective and meditative, capturing a 'contemplative moment' where landscapes provide visual and emotional resonance.

Supermarine Spitfire Vc EE602
Operator: Anglia Restorations Ltd
Year of Manufacture 1942
Powered by: Rolls Royce Merlin 46
Colour Scheme. RAF 129 Squadron EE602 ‘Central Railways Uruguayan Staff.’
On 11th September 1942 Spitfire MK Vc EE602 was built by Westland in Yeovil, Somerset under contract number B124305/40. When built, EE602 was fitted with the universal ‘C’ wing configuration. This allowed it to be fitted either with 8 machine guns, 4 20mm canons or a mix of 4 .303 machine guns and two 20mm canons. This aircraft had the mix of machine guns and cannons. It was fitted with a Rolls Royce Merlin 46 engine. This produced 1,415 bhp at 3,000 rpm and +16 ib/sq. in. boost at 14.000 ft.
EE602 started out with 66 Squadron. 66 was the second Spitfire Squadron to come into existence and fought in the Battle of Britain. She then went to 129 Squadron, in recognition of the large sums of money the Indian Government raised through the sale of War Bonds some squadrons were named after Indian provinces and 129 was named ‘Mysore’ Squadron. Its final squadron was 453 Squadron (RAAF).
EE602 completed over 100 Missions including escorting the Flying Fortress ‘Memphis Belle’ back to the English coast after her now famous 25th Mission with 129 sqdn, until she was damaged in a taxying incident and taken off charge.
Presentation Spitfire:
Individuals, companies, clubs, or counties could buy their own Spitfire.’ They had to collect £5,000 for their donation. One such company was the Uruguayan railways. Run at the time by British expats. You will see on EE602’s side ‘Central Railways Uruguayan Staff.’ She was formally ‘presented’ to 129 Squadron on 31st May 1943.
After a painstaking restoration to concourse standard lasting more than three years, EE602 now flies again in the markings it wore while serving with 129 Sqn.

The Citroën DS was manufactured and marketed by the French company Citroën from 1955 to 1975. Styled by Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and the French aeronautical engineer André Lefèbvre, the DS was known for its aerodynamic futuristic body design and innovative technology, including a hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension.
The DS advanced achievable standards in automobile ride quality, handling, and braking. Citroën sold nearly 1.5 million D-series during the model's 20-year production run. The DS came in third in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, recognizing the world's most influential auto designs, and was named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine.

Manufactured exactly 100 years ago, guest locomotive GWR 2-8-0 4247 works on the climb from the River Frome to Norden Junction on the Swanage Railway.
She was hauling the return leg of the FIRST scheduled passenger service to run on this re-opened stretch of railway line since New Year's Day 1972. It is true that some freight ran until 2005 and there have been very occasional passenger 'specials' down the line over the last 15 years, though these have been few and far between. Considerable sums of money and a huge number of volunteer hours have been used to get the track and infrastructure back into condition and the title "Over the Road" refers to the line going over the new Norden Gates level crossing.
Today's service was only allowed to run to the River Frome which is the limit of Swanage Railway's empire. On that up line service the train was pulled by one of their own locomotives, 31806, whose steam can be seen at the rear of the down line photos above. After a brief stop at the river, 4247 headed the return run.
Swanage Railway is now making an application to run a full service in 2017 a further mile to Wareham Station on the main London-Weymouth line. However, these will be diesel operated, primarily because there is no turntable at Wareham.
The Mitsubishi F-2 is a multirole fighter derived from the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, and manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Lockheed Martin for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
