The Auburn Speedster is an American car, manufactured by the Auburn Automobile Company of Auburn, Indiana and manufactured in Union City, Indiana. A total of 887 cars were manufactured between 1928 and 1936, across 3 series (1928-1930 with "eight" and "big eight" engines, 8 cylinder 1931-1933, 12 cylinder 1932-1934, and the dramatic, iconic 1935-36 Supercharged 8 ). The first two series were designed by stylist Alan Leamy. The Auburn 851 Speedster of 1935 was styled by designer Gordon Buehrig, who also was responsible for the Cord Model 810. Al Jenkins broke 70 American speed records in the 1935 car.
History
In 1924 Auburn output was down to six cars a day, Errett Lobban Cord—a successful automobile salesman—took over the distressed company, and brought in James Crawford to design and develop a new range of vehicles. Other companies had already produced cars with 'boat tail" styling (Peerless, Packard, Hudson) but Auburn wanted to have an image leader in the segment. The Speedster had a fixed windshield, but no side windows, no interior door release, an optional roof, a cockpit for only two in an aerodynamic body.
First Series, 1928-1930 Auburn Eight (Eight-In-Line / 8-88 / Speedster 115, 120 and 125)
The first Auburn eight model was introduced in 1925, as the "Auburn Eight-In-Line". In the following year, it received an ungraded 4.8-liter side-valve 68 bhp Lycoming engine and was renamed "8-88".
1929 Auburn 120 Boattail Speedster
That powertrain remained in use until 1930, when it developed 115 bhp, hence the "Speedster 115" model name. The car was of a straightforward and stout design. Suspension was by semi-elliptic springs all round,[1] and after experiments with hydraulic brakes, Auburn opted for mechanical brakes. The three-speed gearbox was in unit with the engine. The open two-seater body styled by Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky featured a boat-tail and a vee windscreen.
The "Auburn Speedster 120" with the so-called "big eight" 268 cubic inch, 120 hp engine were built in 1928 and 1929. On a longer chassis and with a longer hood than the 8-88, 100 were built and today only maybe 8 are known to survive.
In 1930, the Auburn Speedster was upgraded and it was renamed "Speedster 125". The Speedster 125 was advertised as a "racing car with comfort of a closed car" with a 125 bhp version of the Lycoming eight giving it a top speed of over 100 mph. It came with models such as "cabin speedster" and others. Wikipedia
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!

IMG_7929r Collins Co., Collinsville, CT. Connecticut 19th century ax factory.
The Collins & Company factory opened in 1826 with the purchase of an old gristmill and a few acres of land along the Farmington River in Canton. The company started small with eight men, each making eight axes per day. ... The emerging factory town became known as Collinsville.
The Collins Company Axe Factory, was a manufacturer of edge tools, such as axes, machetes, picks and knives. Collins machetes were the brand of choice in South America. Collins tools were used almost exclusively for the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and axes and picks made their way across the country to be used in the California Gold Rush. Admiral Peary carried Collins tools to the North Pole.
Typical of New England mills, the Collins Company axe factory was sited on a river (the Farmington), and their production was powered by utilizing the water's strength to turn turbines and power machines. The numerous old buildings ramble along the riverbanks intertwined by an intricate maze of sluices that run throughout the site. The company closed its doors in 1966, but the factory buildings stayed standing and are now rented out to local businesses

Built by the Newcastle Manufacturing Company in Delaware in 1848, B&O #57,"Memnon" is one of just a small handful of surviving steam locomotives from the 1840s. One of 6 such engines ordered by the railroad, Memnon and her sisters featured a new, 0-8-0 wheel arrangement, and were one of the earliest designs specifically built as heavy freight locomotives. They featured blind, center drivers to allow the long wheel base to negotiate sharp curves. This engine served the B&O during the U. S. Civil War, hauling troops and equipment for the Federal Army and in the latter part of its service life, was affectionately known as "The Old War Horse." Retired from service in 1892, the engine was restored for exhibition and was designated a National Historic Landmark. It is considered by the B&O Museum to be among the least altered locomotives in its historic collection.

While in Arizona, I had the opportunity to visit the DaDee Manufacturing facility. I met Refuse Arizona the week before at Waste Expo and we were able to arrange a tour at the DaDee Manufacturing facility. On my way to their facility I saw The Scorpion FE Mack LR from Waste Expo pull into the Mack dealership in Phoenix, it was neat seeing that truck twice in one week in two different states. Once I arrived at DaDee Manufacturing Refuse Arizona gave me a tour that started at prefabrication and went all the way to final assembly. I had a great time learning more about the DaDee products and seeing them in person.
Big thank you to everyone at DaDee Manufacturing, they are truly an innovative company with products of the highest quality. And a special thank you to Refuse Arizona for the amazing tour, it was an honor meeting you and Waste Expo and talking about the Waste Industry.
As one of the galaxy's largest manufacturing corporations, Sorosuub has a wide range of products on offer, from hand-held commlinks to landspeeders and cruiser-carriers. One such product is their V-48 Senth airspeeder, a slim and expensive speeder designed for use on core worlds such as Coruscant and Hosnian Prime. Although it is generous in its proportions, it only accommodates a single pilot, with only a tiny compartment behind his/her head for their personal belongings. With its aerodynamic profile and obnoxious engines, the V-48 is widely respected among speeder junkies and competitive pilots alike, and it is not uncommon to see them sitting in workshops to be fine tuned and beefed up, an opportunity that Sorosuub considered throughout the airspeeder's design process.
Here is my entry into richboyjhae's speeder contest, my personally designed Sorosuub V-48 Senth airspeeder!! This was soooo much fun to work on, and ultimately build. The look of the first design for this speeder was actually very different to this final design, and was going to feature an extremely beefy engine that was partially exposed up front. Obviously that's no longer the case 😂. Designing the side of the speeder to incorporate SNOT techniques was a fun idea to play with, as well as the sleek underside and engines, led to the only area with studs facing upwards being the top panelling, not even the cockpit area has any. In dimensions, it's 20 studs long, 16 studs wide and just under 8 studs tall. Honestly, I'm really proud of the final look of my airspeeder, and can't wait to see how it stacks up against other entries in the competition!!

James Brickworks 1923 –1974 at Beverley is classified as a State Heritage Place.
Brick manufacturing in South Australia started soon after colonisation, with the alluvial plains along the Torrens River providing abundant deposits of good clay.
In 1923 Albert E James relocated his brickworks to this site from the Torrens at Welland. A small family run enterprise, the James Brickworks was one of several brickworks in the immediate area. During a boom period in the 1950s, 1.5 million bricks a year were produced at this site.
The former Woodville Council purchased the brickworks in 1974, initially to use the pughole as a rubbish tip, but soon realised the heritage importance of the site.
The circular ‘beehive’ kiln was used for the firing of special products, including glazed bricks, special shaped bricks, and earthenware pipes and fittings.
Clarence James made several brick industry trips to America.
Other brickworks in the area included:
Adelaide Potteries
Barrey’s Brickyard
Chas, Bourne & Son
Coronation Brick Company
Freburg’s Brickworks Limited
J Hallet & Sons
Attiah’s Brickyard
Hounslow’s Brickyard
Standard Brick Company
Willis & Williams
Young’s Brickyard
T J Headdey.
In 1924 the State Government’s ‘Thousand Homes Scheme’ commenced, increasing demand for bricks.
1939s – 1940s The brick industry slowed, impacted by the Depression and loss of labour during World War Two.
1950s Post-war housing boom resulted in brickmaking heyday. Brickworks provided much needed employment and housing for European migrants.
1952 saw Albert E James transferring ownership of the James Brickworks to son Clarence.
1974 James Brickworks sold to former Woodville Council. One kiln, drying sheds, engine house, moulding shed and the office building were demolished.
1994 James Brickworks State Heritage listed.
2017 James Brickworks conservation programme commenced.
There's a story behind this train.
So, I was working on a project up the street at a St. Louis chemical manufacturing facility. After work, my routine many times was to drive down to Branch Street and look for trains.
On this evening, I discovered a BNSF coal train parked just short of Branch Street. They were apparently waiting for the signal which would allow the train to proceed onto the Terminal Railroad Association's Merchants Sub.
I parked my car and got out to take photos, one of which is this photo. As I was doing this, the engineer came out of the front door and asked me if I'd like to come inside.
I seized the opportunity and climbed aboard. The engineer let me sit in the engineer's seat, and invited me to take the train forward a bit.
He showed me which lever to push, so I pushed the lever and the train started moving forward. The train went across Branch Street, and then the engineer reached over and operated the proper buttons to make the train stop.
The signal then turned to yellow over red or red over yellow or something, which meant the fun was over and I had to leave.
I took some photos of the train as it got underway, then climbed in my car and headed off.
About 30 minutes later, I sat down in my chair at the Monday evening rehearsal for the St. Louis Chamber Chorus. I turned to the baritone sitting next to me and said to him, "Guess what I just did."
"What?" he said.
"I just drove a 16,000 ton coal train about 100 feet."
He just stared at me, then shook his head and looked intently at his music. The director lifted his baton and we started the rehearsal.

How about another frame of this awesome scene just as they start pulling south out of town.
CSXT's Troy Industrial Track is a six mile long branch line that connects with the Amtrak controlled Hudson Line just north of the Albany-Rensselaer station at the east end of the Livingston Avenue bridge. The former New York Central route is the last active rail line into the Collar City which at one point in the early 20th century was the fourth wealthiest city in the nation. The city once had lines radiating in four directions serving a grand Union Station downtown.
The four railroads that originally formed the Troy Union Railroad were the Rensselaer and Saratoga (D&H), Troy and Boston (B&M), Troy and Greenbush (NYC) and Schenectady and Troy (NYC). That's how the NYC ended up with half ownership of the TURR, and the others each had one quarter.
This surviving spur began as the Troy and Greenbush Railroad which was chartered in 1845 and opened later that year, connecting Troy south to East Albany (now Rensselaer) on the east side of the Hudson River. It was the last link in an all-rail line between Boston and Buffalo and until bridges were built between Albany and Rensselaer, passengers crossed on ferries while the train went up to Troy, crossed the Hudson River, and came back down to Albany.
The Hudson River Railroad was chartered in 1846 to extend this line south to New York City and the full line opened in 1851. Prior to completion, the Hudson River leased the Troy and Greenbush and all would come into the hands of Cornelius Vanderbilt in 1864 who then three years later combined it with his New York Central Railroad to have the entire New York City to Buffalo route under his control. A decade after that Vanderbilt would gain control over the lines to Chicago uniting the famed 'water level route' under one banner that would grow to be one of the worlds greatest rail systems in the first half of the 20th Century.

CSXT is the direct corporate successor of the New York Central by way of Penn Central in 1968, then Conrail in 1976, and CSXT in 1999. Despite occasional fear of the line's demise they continue to serve it three days a week with a local out of South Schenectady that travels via the Carmen Branch and the Hudson Line via West Albany hill and LAB to get to this branch.
CSXT local L020 has 17 cars trailing two ACSES equipped ex Chessie GP40-2s as they air test their train near MP 5 on the branch. Rising at right is the building known locally as The Fortress. Dating from 1902 the original name of the building is the United Waste Manufacturing Company Building, and it was built as a storage facility for wool and cotton shoddy. Today it is home to a high end antiques dealer and to learn more here is a cool blog post I found that is worth a read.

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.
