TOMYTEC series. The rear spoiler had to be installed. The issue I have with these is various parts have to added to some of these cars. These parts are small and tedious and difficult to install. I don't understand why these "add-on" parts couldn't be installed during the manufacturing process.
American IronHorse was an American motorcycle manufacturer that was founded in 1995 by Tim Edmundson and Bill Rucker. At one time, AIH was the largest factory producer of custom motorcycles in the USA. Their 224,000-square-foot (20,800 m2) factory was located in Fort Worth, Texas, and housed the complete manufacturing process under a single roof. Although most (305) parts for the bikes were made in-house, such as the seats and wheels, all American IronHorse motorcycles were built with S&S engines and were assembled in-house.
In Spring 2008, American Ironhorse ceased production on all cycles and most company assets were liquidated at auction.
I made this shot using a Takumar 55mm 1.8 lens.
It is an old screw lens from ca 1965, and of course, it is manual focus only.
I love to focus manually. However, today's cameras make it somewhat of a guessing game.
- Most viewfinders in modern mirror reflex cameras are simply to small to see the focus plane clearly.
- Camera manufacturers are making the viewfinders less acurate, saving costs by cutting precision in the manufacturing process, because the assume that nowadays, nobody's focusing manually anymore with there being fast and accurate autofocus.
I love the large, accurate viewfinders of professional cameras like the Nikon D3, or of old film cameras, even my old Pentax Spotmatic. They are huge!!
A lot of people who never have experienced working with such a viewfinder before, and who are only using autofokus anyway, assume that focussing manually is a thing of the past and has no benefits over autofocus.
But i feel that, with autofocus, you only abstract in your head what the depth of field will look like in your picture later, while with manual focus and a large viewfinder, you get to experience and feel the focus of the image. It's more like focussing with your stomach as opposed to with your head.

Campaign: Toxics
With the boom of the ‘electronic age’ a new environmental threat is growing. The world is consuming more and more electronic products every year which caused a dangerous explosion in electronic waste, riddled with toxic chemicals and heavy metals that cannot be disposed of or recycled safely.
As new products are developed, old ones are dumped in landfills or being shipped to third world countries, causing major toxic hazards. The making of all these products also cause toxic pollution in local areas.
To encourage electronic companies to be responsible with their manufacturing, Greenpeace campaigns to enlist consumers to put pressure on them. The ‘Green my Apple’ campaign targeted the Apple, as well as its fiercely loyal customers, to change its practices for the better.
Apple responded to this pressure by altering many of its manufacturing processes, and switching to friendlier alternatives to the toxic chemicals it was using. A major victory for people power.

エレクトロニクス時代到来とともに、環境をめぐる新たな脅威が広がっています。世界中で急増する電子機器の消費。それが、安全処理やリサイクルのできない有毒な化学物質や重金属を含んだ大量の電子ゴミを生んでいます。
新製品開発で古いものは埋立地に捨てられ、第三世界各国に船で移送されます。こうして有毒物質の危険が飛び火します。製品は製造段階でも工場付近を有毒物質で汚染します。
グリーンピースは、エレクトロニクス企業が製造過程に責任を持つよう企業に働きかける消費者キャンペーンを行っています。
「グリーン・マイ・アップル」キャンペーンでは、「グリーン」という言葉を動詞（緑化する＝環境に良くする）に使って、アップル社と顧客に同社に改善を迫る活動に参加してもらいました。
「グリーン・マイ・アップル」キャンペーンは４万5000人の参加を得、アップル社は多くの製造工程の変更と、使用する化学薬品をより地球にやさしいものに替えることで、私たちの声に応えてくれました。消費者一人ひとりの大きな勝利です。
These universal expansion joints were custom-designed with guided tie rods, internal liners, and bellows protection covers for a hot air blower. These expansion joints are used in a plant that manufactures tires for cars and light-duty trucks. High Heat is required in the manufacturing process to vulcanize rubber to components made of steel and polyester and to also cure the rubber. The universal expansion joint can allow for large amounts of lateral deflection that can occur in more than one plane. By increasing or decreasing the distance between the two bellows by varying the length of a section of pipe spool, the designer can accommodate for the given amount of lateral deflection. These expansion joints are designed for an operating pressure of 50 psig at 383 degrees F. A total of 18 were supplied with half of the units measuring 40” dia. x 74-7/8” long x 58-1/2” overall outer dia. The rest measure 36” dia. X 60-1/4” long x 53-3/4” overall outer diameter. The bellows, flange, middle pipe, liner, and lugs are fabricated from 316/316L stainless steel. The rods, nuts, and cover are 316 stainless steel. The 40” dia. unit is designed for 0.394” axial compression and the 36” dia. unit is designed for 0.20” axial compression. Both units are designed for 0.394” lateral movement. Each expansion joint was inspected by quality control and hydraulic pressure tested before shipment. We manufacture expansion joints to relieve stress in piping systems whether the thermal movement is axial, lateral, or angular in plants such as Food Processing, Automotive, Hospital Steam Lines, Semiconductors, and other types of Green Energy plants.

Ferrari 166 MM, 1950
V-12, 2.0 litre, 140 hp, Chassis no. 0064
'Of all the cars I have driven, I can never forget my first Ferrari' declared Gianni Agnelli, the head of Fiat. This is his car.
The Ferrari 166 was a striking success for the emerging Ferrari company. The new body style, from the celebrated firm of Touring in Milan, was christened 'barchetta' (little boar) and revolutionised post-war sports car design. It was relatively easy to enlarge the capacity of Gioacchino Colombo's V-12 engine, so in 1948 Ferrari was able to create this new model with a two litre engine and more power.

The Pershing II was a mobile, intermediate-range ballistic missile deployed by the U.S. Army at American bases in West Germany beginning in 1983. It was aimed at targets in the western Soviet Union. Each Pershing II carried a single, variable-yield thermonuclear warhead with an explosive force equivalent to 5-50 kilotons of TNT. Under the terms of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union, all Pershing IIs and their support equipment were removed from the inventory and rendered inoperable. This missile is a trainer, but its dimensions and weight are identical to an operational Pershing II. It was built by Martin Marietta and transferred by the Army Missile Command to NASM in 1990.
Transferred from the United States Army Missile Command.
The SS-20, known as the "Pioneer" in Russian, is a two-stage, solid propellant missile with three multiple targetable reentry warheads. The missile is almost 16.5 meters tall.
The exterior of the first stage is yellow fiberglass with numbers and Cyrillic letters printed along the circumference. The letters and numbers are used as guides in the manufacturing process when the solid fuel is covered with fiberglass. Two thirds of the way up the missile are the letters "CCCP" and a yellow five-point star.
The second stage has similar markings. The reentry vehicle consists of three warheads. The predominant color of the missile is green. Along the base of the missile are white fan stabilizers that assist in guidance.
The Votkinsk Machine Building Plant, USSR, constructed the missile for the exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum. Exhibition of this missile complies with the Intermediate Nuclear Forces agreement between the US and USSR that provided for the preservation of fifteen SS-20 and Pershing II missiles to commemorate the first international agreement to ban an entire class of nuclear arms exhibition. It does not contain fuel or any live components. The Ministry of Defense of the USSR donated the missile to the Smithsonian.

Mammoth Shaft Tool - "PALEO TOOLS: The kinds of tools used by the Paleoindians can tell us much about their way of life. Most of the tools surviving today are made of stone. Spear points, knives, drills, and scrapers are typical Paleoindian artifacts. They were used for a variety of tasks, including hunting and butchering animals, processing plants, and working raw materials to make other tools. Archaeological sites of the Paleoindians contain mostly chipped stone tools and waste flakes left from the manufacturing process. However it is almost certain that these people made wide use of other raw materials including bone, wood, ivory, and antler. Objects made of these materials do not preserve as well as stone and have likely decayed over the past 10,000 years. Springs, sinkholes and deep river beds offer good conditions for preserving organic materials because of their high mineral content and lack of oxygen. Fragments of bone, wood, and other plant remains will give clues to future archaeologists who research the skills that Paleoindians needed to survive in Ice Age Florida.

"PALEOINDIANS: The earliest people who inhabited North America are called Paleoindians. They came to Florida during the end of the last Ice Age, at least 12,000 years ago. Their way of life lasted for about 2,500 years. Archaeologists have found few Paleoindian sites. If, as it seems likely, these early people lived along the coast of Florida, their settlements have been covered by the rising sea level. Compared to later Florida Indian cultures, Paleoindians lived in small, widely dispersed groups. Their artifacts are often found around outcrops of a flint-like rock called chert. Pieces of chert were chipped, or knapped, to make stone tools. Paleoindian artifacts are also found in springs, sinkholes and rivers that were probably ancient waterholes. These were important sources of fresh water in an otherwise dry landscape.
PALEO TIMELINE: 12,000 B.P. to 9,500 B.P. (Before present) - EARLY PALEO PERIOD: 12,000-10,000 BP - Simpson point on mammoth ivory foreshaft (circa 11,500 BP) - First evidence of people on the Florida peninsula, Paleoindians live a semi-nomadic life, hunt big game like mastadon, climate was drier than today, and sea level is more than 100 feet lower than today. - Bison antiguns skull with embedded spearpoint, Wacissa River (circa 11,000 BP).
LATE PALEO PERIOD: 10,000 to 9500 BP - stone bola weight (circa 10,000 BP) had most big game animals extinct, wetter climate prevails, sea level rises gradually, several new styles of stone points appear, like the side notched bolan point. " ~ Display in the Florida Museum of Natural History.

The Aristocrat and Aristocrat Custom Built models were fitted with what Buescher called the "Acouta-Bell".
Buescher claimed it made its trumpet and cornet bells with a special proprietary manufacturing process that used a secret brass formula.
However the rims of the Aristocrat Custom Built bells were not made in the same way. The roll at the bell's rim is smaller, and there is a narrow, flat band of metal running around the circumference of the bell just behind the rim's rolled edge.
The rims on Buescher's earlier trumpet and cornet bells, including the Aristocrat, was larger and lacked the narrow reinforcing band.

(En) Founded in 1906, the Coking Plant of Anderlues was specialized in the production of coke for industrial use.
Coke was obtained by distillation of coal in furnaces and, thanks to its superior fuel coal properties, it was used afterwards to feed the blast furnaces in the steel manufacturing process.
Closed and abandoned since 2002, the site has since undergone many losses and damages, not including an important pollution. While some buildings have now been demolished, there are however still some important parts of the former coking plant.
Among them, the former coal tower, next to the imposing "battery" of 38 furnaces, where the coke was produced. Besides them, we still can see the administrative buildings, the power station with its cooling tower, and buildings for the by-products, which were obtained by recovering the tar and coal gas. There are also a gasometer north side, the coal tip east side and a settling basin south side.

(Fr) Fondées en 1906, les Cokeries d'Anderlues étaient spécialisées dans la fabrication de coke à usage industriel.
Le coke était obtenu par distillation de la houille dans des fours et, grâce à ses propriétés combustibles supérieures au charbon, il servait par après à alimenter les hauts-fourneaux dans le processus de fabrication de l'acier.
Fermé et laissé à l'abandon depuis 2002, le site a depuis lors subi de nombreuses pertes et dégradations, sans compter la pollution qui y règne. Si certains bâtiments (comme l'ancien lavoir à charbon) ont aujourd'hui été démolis, on retrouve encore toutefois certaines parties importantes de cette ancienne cokerie.
Parmi celles-ci, l'ancienne tour à charbon suivie de près par l'imposante "batterie" de 38 fours, où était produit le coke. A côté d'eux, on découvre également les bâtiments administratifs, la centrale électrique avec sa tour de refroidissement, ainsi que les bâtiments des sous-produits, lesquels étaient obtenus par récupération du goudron et du gaz de houille. Et en périphérie, on retrouve un gazomètre côté nord, le terril à l'est et un bassin de décantation côté sud.

Yes, Ecovez’s enhanced biodegradable properties of our Ecovez products are attributed to a chemical compound called Eco-Pure. EcoPure is a FDA approved Organic Green technology developed by a US based company. It is a 100% organic material that is blended into the plastic during the manufacturing process. It enables our products to be consumed by the environment, resulting in biomass (rich soil), biogas (anaerobic), and CO2 (aerobic).
This state of the art biodegradable technology allows plastic to absorb moisture more readily causing expansion and breakage of the polymer chain. In addition, promotes microorganisms to colonize in and around the plastic. These microorganisms secrete enzymes, which break down the polymer chain and once the polymer chain is open, the microbes can use the carbon chain as a source of food and energy.
This exciting new technology enables us to create biodegradable products that will have an indefinite shelf life, yet quickly biodegrading, only when placed in an active microbial environment, such as a landfill or facility compost.

they tell me Soju is "good for your health."
info. from wikipedia.
Soju is a distilled beverage native to Korea. Most brands of modern soju are made in South Korea. Though traditionally made from rice, most major brands supplement or even replace the rice with other starches such as potato, wheat, barley, sweet potato, or tapioca (called dangmil in Korean). Soju is clear in color and typically varies in alcohol content from about 20% to about 45% alcohol by volume (ABV), with 20% ABV being most common. Its taste is comparable to vodka, though often slightly sweeter due to the added sugar in the manufacturing process.

Other companies began to be involved in the project, using the advanced manufacturing process known as RP (Rapid Prototyping). This involves turning the scanned data into .stl (stereo-lithography) files. Then the computer model is sliced into 0.1mm layers and manufacture is from the bottom up. So if the machine was starting from the base of a standing figure then it would begin by cutting the feet, then ankles, then knees etc. Each layer is only a tenth of a millimeter thick so it would take 500 layers to make a foot.
The Rear Leg was made by The Innovative Manufacturing Centre and UMAK Limited. And the process that they used is called LOM - Laminated Object Manufacture. Here a laser cuts the contour of an object on a 0.1mm layer of paper then another layer is laid down and next contour of the object is cut. The part is then broken out from the cut layers.
The final section was about 100 x 40 x 50 centimetres and was made by glueing together 5 LOM parts then inserting steel rods down the leg to ensure that the parts do not separate. The parts were treated so that they are stable in a range of temperatures and humidities. This is so that the layers do not delaminate. Steve Upcraft (IMC), Simon Graham (Umak) and Paul Webber (IMC) can be seen here.

J.H. Whittaker & Sons, Ltd (Whittaker's) is a confectionery manufacturer specialising in chocolate and based in Porirua, New Zealand. Whittaker's is the second-biggest chocolate brand in New Zealand, behind Cadbury. The company controls its entire manufacturing process, calling itself a "bean-to-bar" manufacturer, to ensure top-quality products. James Henry Whittaker started the business in Christchurch in 1896 and it was later moved to Wellington.
James Henry Whittaker worked in the British confectionery industry at the age of 14 and moved to Christchurch, New Zealand, in 1890. Six years later he started manufacturing chocolate confectionery, selling it direct to customers using horse and van. In 1913, he established a partnership with his two sons, Ronald and James, based in Wellington. The business became a limited liability company in 1937, with third-generation Whittakers still the sole shareholders in the company. In 1992 the company formed J.H. Whittaker Australia Ltd.

Enamelling is an ancient technology. The ancient Egyptians used enamelling to decorate pottery, stone objects and to create jewellery. The ancient Chinese used enamelling to decorate metal objects. During the Roman period enamelling was used to decorate glass vessels.
More recent examples include the 56 fantastic eggs created by the Russian jewellery Peter Carl Fabergé (1846 - 1920), of which only 46 are believed to still exist.
Examples of modern uses of vitreous enamel include the production of jewellery, decorative art objects, durable kitchenware and appliances, presentation and educational boards, cloakroom cubicles, vanity tops, internal and external architectural cladding panels, enamelled steel sanitary ware, furniture and sign boards.
Enamel Glaze: Versatile and Beautiful
As a surface coating, especially iron and steel, vitreous enamel is unassailable. Highly durable with a long service life, it resists scratching and chemical marring. It is easy to clean, and therefore, very hygienic.
But paints, plastics, aluminum, and stainless steel offer stiff competition. Even the Underground station, famed for the use of enamel panels in its stations, turned to laminates.
The industry took a downturn until research:
Improved food cooked in microwave ovens
Discovered new formulations that improve already excellent hygiene properties
Updated manufacturing process
Microwave Mismatches
Microwave ovens are usually lined with plastic, stainless steel, or a painted surface. Okay for the basic process, but since integrated functions such as a grill, air circulation, and steam heating have been added, temperatures in the chamber can rise to 572°F (300°C) or more. Higher temperatures can result in staining, yellowing, and distortion. If an enamel lining is used, these faults are avoided altogether.
An added bonus is that because enameled steel has half the thermal conductivity of stainless steel, it actually improves food quality. This lower conductivity means less energy usage for the same cooking effect, shorter cooking times, and more vitamins retained in the cooked food.
Keeping It Hygienic
One of enamel's great advantages is its scratch resistance. Microbes have no place to hide and are easily cleaned away.
In another development, A Japanese researchers discovered an enamel formulation which, while proven safe for humans, actively kills germs. By incorporating small amounts of copper and silver in the enamel, scientists found that the enamel has an in-use antimicrobial action. It seems that the metal ions either upset the germs' enzyme systems, or that oxygen is released, damaging their cell walls. Either way, they are killed.
Taking Sides with ALUSI Coats
Cost was one reason for replacing enamel with painted surfaces on white goods and reduced use of enamel for architectural panels. To achieve rust resistance, both sides of the panel have to be coated, which increases cost.
But new developments enable rust resistance of sheets enameled on one side only. Aluminizing the steel (on both sides) first was described by scientists from Sollac and Ferro in France at the 1998 International Enamellers Congress. Enameling on aluminum/silicon (ALUSI)-coated steel sheets has other benefits, including:
Lower production costs because the enamel can be applied in one coat, on one side, and fired only once
Better able to resist chipping and cracking if the panel is bent
Going Underground with Enamels (Again)
For a time in the late 20th century, An Underground station abandoned enamel panels in station refurbishment to reduce costs. However, after suffering tragic fires, the Underground found itself facing much tougher fire regulations. The solution was to bring back the decorative enamel panel, which is tough, durable, easily cleaned—and totally fire resistant.
Boric Oxide: Key Ingredient in Enamel Glaze
The glass used to enamel metals is no ordinary glass. It must be very fluid when molten and have a low surface tension to enable it to spread evenly over the metal at a relatively low temperature. But most important is the need to adjust the glass' thermal expansion.
The major hurdle in making large pieces is the different rates of expansion of glass and metal during cooling and warming. If the rates are not nearly the same, the enamel will crack, craze, or flake off.
The answer? Boric oxide. Comprising up to 25% of an enamel mixture, it is responsible for the low melt temperature, viscosity, and surface tension needed. Boric oxide also has the remarkable property of altering the glass’ thermal expansion to suit the metal underneath.
Boric oxide also promotes a smooth surface and high luster. Either Neobor or Dehybor can be used. Dehybor has the advantage that it has no water of crystallization to dispel in the furnace, reducing emissions and plant corrosion. Dehybor is also a more concentrated source of boric oxide, resulting in productivity gains and lower handling and freight costs for the manufacturer.
In practice, vitreous enamel usually marries two different kinds of glass. The first base coat includes cobalt and nickel oxides which help to form a very strong bond with the metal. A second base coat carries color and decoration.
The resultant bond is virtually inseparable, creating the extreme durability and rust resistance of enameled iron and steel. It is also the only metal coating process that can be guaranteed to resist the severe thermal shock in water boilers, stoves, ovens and cookware.
From home appliances to fire resistant signs in the subway, vitreous enamels are making everyday life safer and more beautiful.

They are allowed to relax up to a certain point, then shocked, prompting movement that scratches a design onto the object. The resulting form might be seen as a sobering memento mori, a reflection on manufacturing processes that exploit biology.

(En) Founded in 1906, the Coking Plant of Anderlues was specialized in the production of coke for industrial use.
Coke was obtained by distillation of coal in furnaces and, thanks to its superior fuel coal properties, it was used afterwards to feed the blast furnaces in the steel manufacturing process.
Closed and abandoned since 2002, the site has since undergone many losses and damages, not including an important pollution. While some buildings have now been demolished, there are however still some important parts of the former coking plant.
Among them, the former coal tower, next to the imposing "battery" of 38 furnaces, where the coke was produced. Besides them, we still can see the administrative buildings, the power station with its cooling tower, and buildings for the by-products, which were obtained by recovering the tar and coal gas. There are also a gasometer north side, the coal tip east side and a settling basin south side.

1) Czechoslovakian Brno ZB26 - caliber 7.92mm - In use from 1928 to 1945.
The Czechoslovakian ZB vz 26 Light Machine Gun manufactured in Brno.
2) Bren Mk.I - caliber .303in - In use from 1937 to 1941.
The Bren Light Machine Gun was developed from the ZB26, a Czechoslovakian Light Machine Gun designed at Brno, by the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield. The name was an amalgamation of Brno and Enfield. The major changes were in the magazine and barrel. The rifle was re-barrelled to .303in caliber and the magazine was curved in order to feed the rimmed .303in British cartridge from the rimless Mauser 7.92mm design cartridges previously used by the Czechoslovakians. The magazine was designed to take 30 rounds, but most Soldiers only used 28 to reduce gun stoppages and magazine wear.
▪︎Magazine: 30 rounds / 500 rounds per minute / Weight: 22.8lb / Length: 42.9in.
3) Bren Mk.II - caliber .303in - In use from 1941 to 1944.
The major changes between the Mk.I and Mk.II Bren are, notably, the removing of the complicated drum sight and the fitting of a folding rear leaf sight. There is a much simplified machined body which, although still being milled from a solid billet of steel, required significantly fewer milling operations than the previous Mk.I, which gave it a much cleaner appearance. The bipod was simplified in design, as well as not having extending legs. Most Mk.II bipods resemble a simpe 'A' frame and were more 'Soldier' proof. The woodwork on the Mk.II was simplified by being less ornate and more ergonomic, which sped up the manufacturing process. The barrel was also simplified by means of a non-stepped removable flash hider. The buffered butt plate of the Mk.I was omitted and replaced with a sheet metal butt plate.
4) L4A1 Bren - caliber 7.62mm - In use from 1958 onwards.
Conversion of earlier Bren guns from .303in to NATO 7.62mm.

EXHIBITION
100 Best Posters 14
GERMANY, AUSTRIA, SWITZERLAND
MI, MO 11/11/2015, 03/28/2016
MAK Art Print Hall
Already for the tenth time, the MAK in the exhibition 100 Best Posters 14. Germany Austria Switzerland shows the hundred most compelling design concepts in the probably hottest medium of visual everyday culture: the poster. The current winning projects of the popular graphic design competition are characterized by an enigmatic pictural humor, explosive colors as well as precise designs and demonstrate impressively that a poster can be more than just an banal advertising space. Many of the award-winning works furthermore also rely on a subtle play with typography. Innovative ideas can also be found in the manufacturing process: This year's competition shows that you can readily knit posters in high-tech process or use a thermo-insulating space blanket as carrier material for screen printing.
Hardly any medium is such clocked on the consumption and nevertheless sets trends at the cutting edge. "[...] The poster designer challenges himself repeatedly and enjoys himself at gained symbols." Says Götz Gramlich, President of the association 100 Best Posters eV, and he postulats. "A good poster unfolds in the mind of the beholder."
From over 1 800 submitted individual posters, composed of contract work, self-initiated posters/self-promotion as well as student project orders from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, awarded the international jury, consisting of Richard van der Laken (Amsterdam, Chairman), Christof Nardin (Wien), Jiri Oplatek (Basel), Nicolaus Ott (Berlin) and Ariane Spanier (Berlin), the 100 winning posters of the year 2014.
In the competition participated 575 submitters (men and women), of which 48 are from Austria, 128 from Switzerland and 399 from Germany. The leader among the winning 100 best is Switzerland with 51 winning projects, followed by 44 German and 5 Austrian contributions.
The by sensomatic design (Christine Zmölnig and Florian Koch, Vienna) designed catalog offers in addition to the illustrations of all the winning posters and the contacts with the designers also this year a captivating essay by Thomas Friedrich: On the dialectics of image and text in the poster today. In a concise way, he looks at the contextuality of posters and explains the theme facetiously and pictorially based on a poster for a bullfight. Read more in the catalog!
For the corporate design of this year's competition and the new Web Visuals also sensomatic design, Vienna, is responsible. Since June 2014, the new online archive on the homepage of the 100 Best Posters Registered Association offers a comprehensive overview of all award-winning works from the years 2001-2014.

Minton Tiles
The richly patterned and colored Minton tile floors are one of the most striking features of the extensions of the United States Capitol. They were first installed in 1856, when Thomas U. Walter was engaged in the design and construction of vast additions to the Capitol (1851-1865). For the floors in his extensions, Walter chose encaustic tile for its beauty, durability and sophistication.
•Artist: Minton, Hollins and Company
•Date: Installed in 1856
One striking example of the contrast between the interiors of the Old Capitol (finished in 1826) and the extensions (begun in 1851) may be seen in the differences in flooring materials. In the Old Capitol, stone pavers were used in corridors and other public spaces, such as the Rotunda and Crypt, while brick was used to floor committee rooms and offices. These materials, although durable and fireproof, would have looked plain and old-fashioned to the Victorian eye. In the mid-19th century, encaustic tile flooring was considered the most suitable and beautiful material for high-traffic areas. Unlike ordinary glazed tile, the pattern in encaustic tile is made of colored clays inlaid or imbedded in the clay ground. Because the color is part of the fabric of the encaustic tile, it will retain its beauty after years of wear. One observer noted:
“The indestructibility of tiles may be judged from the fact that the excavations at Pompeii have unearthed apartments where painted tiles are just as beautiful, the colors as fresh and bright as... when the fated city was in all its glory.”
Two types of tile were used at the U.S. Capitol: plain and inlaid encaustic tiles in a range of colors. Plain tiles were used as borders for the elaborate inlaid designs or to pave large corridor areas. They were available in seven colors: buff, red, black, drab, chocolate, light blue and white. Additional colors, such as cobalt blue, blue-gray, and light and dark green, appear in the inlaid encaustic tiles that form the elaborate centerpieces and architectural borders. They were made by “filling indentations in the unburnt tile with the desired colors and burning the whole together.”
The patterns and designs formed in the inlaid tiles were limited only by taste and imagination. They include geometric patterns such as the Greek key, guilloche, and basket weave; floral designs such as the fleur-de-lis; and figures such as dolphins and classical heads. Few of the patterns are repeated. Although most of the tiles are six-by-six-inch squares, some are round, triangular or pie-shaped. Approximately 1,000 different tile patterns are used in the corridors of the Capitol alone, and up to 100 different tiles may be needed to create a single design.
The original encaustic tiles in the Capitol extensions were manufactured at Stoke-upon-Trent in Staffordshire, England, by Minton, Hollins and Company. The firm’s patented tiles had won numerous gold medals at international exhibitions and were considered the best tiles made. In 1876, having seen Minton’s large display at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, one critic wrote, “Messr. Minton shone superior to all exhibits of the sort… and may be cited as showing the highest results in tile-pottery achieved by modern skill and research.”
Beginning in 1856, and continuing for five years, the tile was installed by the import firm of Miller and Coates of New York City. For the journey from New York to Washington, the tiles were packed in wooden casks weighing about 1100 pounds; each cask contained enough tiles to pave about 100 square feet. The cost of the tile ranged from $0.68 to $2.03 per square foot.
Thomas U. Walter had every reason to believe that the encaustic tile floors would last as long as his extensions stood. One visitor noted in 1859 that the tile floors vied with the beauty of marble and surpassed it in durability. While perhaps valid for other installations, however, this prediction proved overly optimistic for the Capitol Building. By 1924, the Minton tile was removed from the corridors in the first and second floors of the House Wing and replaced by “marble tile in patterns of a simple order.” In that day, marble was selected for its superior durability and because suitable replacement tile was difficult to find.
In the 1970s, however, a similar condition prompted a very different response. In 1972, a search was undertaken to determine a source of similar tiles in order to restore the original appearance of the building. Inquiries were made of all major American tile manufacturers, the American Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Association, and even Mexican and Spanish tile suppliers. Although the colors and designs could be reproduced relatively easily, the patterns would quickly wear because they would be applied to the surface. The “inlaid” feature of the encaustic tiles, i.e., the approximately 1/8-inch thickness of the pattern and color, is the characteristic that enables the Minton tiles to be walked upon for over 100 years without signs of wear. It was this technique that formed the basic difficulty of manufacture.
Finally, as a result of the Capitol’s needs becoming generally known, the Architect of the Capitol was placed in contact with H & R Johnson Tiles Ltd., located at Stoke-on-Trent, England. It was discovered that that firm was a successor company to the Minton Tile Co. and had even retained many of the original hand tools and forms in a private museum at the company’s manufacturing site.
Contact was then made with Mr. James Ellis, the Directing Architect of Ancient Monuments and Historic Buildings for the Crown. He had been trying for many years to establish a program for the replacement of the worn Minton tiles at the Houses of Parliament but had more or less given up the attempt because of H & R Johnson’s continued unwillingness to revive the encaustic tile process. However, the restoration work at the Arts and Industries Building of the Smithsonian Institution was in process at about the time the needs of the Capitol became known; it thus appeared that a market for such tiles was developing to the degree that the manufacturer began to reconsider its prior position. The company thus began the experiments that finally led to the present availability, after many decades, of the original Minton-type tiles.
Because the tiles in the Capitol are more decorative and have more complicated designs and color combinations than those in either the Houses of Parliament or the Smithsonian, those institutions were able to obtain replacement tiles sooner than the Capitol. The lessons learned in the manufacture of the simpler tiles served as a basis for filling the later needs.
Color photographs and full-sized drawings of the many required patterns were made and recorded, and many developmental submissions were made as the hand-made manufacturing process was re-developed. Finally, in 1986, the first acceptable tiles were delivered. The installation process was accomplished with modern cement adhesives and has yielded excellent results.
The program enabled the original tiles to be replaced with exact replicas. This project began on the first floor of the Senate wing, where the effects of 130 years of wear and tear were most noticeable. Replacement tile was closely scrutinized to ensure fidelity to the nineteenth-century originals. While difficult and slow, this process is the only fitting response to the history of the Capitol extensions, not only to restore the original beauty and elegance of these unique floors, but also to provide for their continuing attractiveness for the foreseeable future.
