Ferrari 500, 1952
Inline 4-cylinder, 2.0 litre, 165 hp, Chassis no. 500/625 #005
The Ferrari 500 is the world's most successful car in terms of Grand Prix wins. In 1952 and in 1953 it took the World Champtionship, driven by the great Milanese driver Alberto Ascari. In 1952 Ascari won six out of the seven races he entered, and he won five times again in the following year. For these two Grand Prix seasons the car had a robust 2.0 litre, four-cylinder engine designed by Aurelio Lampredi.

Window cut beads go through a similar manufacturing process as regular firepolish beads...
Czech glass flat rectangles have an opaque jet color base, completed with a rustic Picasso finish, (before they were given their faces.) Each bead has been pressed, grinded and then polished to create smooth, crisp faces on both sides. The usual firepolish (round) beads have multiple facets.

The regulatory guidelines indicate that a manufacturer of biological products for human use should demonstrate the capability of the manufacturing process to remove or inactivate known contaminants which is why for many biologics viral contamination is a major concern.
ok, so on the atv tour, as we made our way up to the top of a rather large, steep hill, we came across this stone tower.
our tour guide said that it was once used as part of the rum manufacturing process (i think), and is apparently one of dozens (or hundreds) on the island.. but i don't remember the details.
all i know is that it had a wide-open top, so i stood in the middle, pointed the camera straight up, and pressed the big button that makes the magic happen

Sawmill on Crain Highway near the Patuxent River, 1920s
Wood manufacturing in Maryland began with hundreds of small sawmills that often used streams and water wheels to power they belt-driven machinery. Modern milling technology uses computers to scan logs and determine how best to maximize wood recovery and optimize grade and quality. Modern wood-producing mills make use of every part of a tree in a very efficient manufacturing process.
The Maryland Forest and Park services were founded in 1906. These photos were archived in celebration of their centennial in 2006.
Cork Stopper

"Perhaps the simplest of all the exhibits, the eponymous cork is punch cut from the bark of the cork oak tree. We have chosen to pause production when the bark is only half-cut, showing both the natural beauty of the raw material, as well as the object itself" - Edward & Jay
Part of ‘In The Making’ exhibition - more than twenty objects during the manufacturing stage of their construction...curated by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, the design duo who are perhaps best known for designing the 2012 London Olympic torch.
The pair commented on the exhibition “‘We have always been fascinated by the making process as it is an integral part of our work. We have curated an exhibition that will provide a platform to capture and reveal a frozen moment in the manufacturing process and unveils an everyday object in its unfinished state. Often the object is as beautiful, if not more so, than the finished product!”
At Hi-Cone, we learned about the research and development, manufacturing process, and science behind innovations in photodegradable and environmentally responsible packaging.
I did a lot of brazing for training purposes before building my firs own fork.
Joints were cut to analyse solder distribution and connection between materials.
Enjoyed the improvement in the manufacturing process!
The padding on the right boot is too low and it causes severe shin rub. I believe the reason for this issue is due to mistake during manufacturing process -- if you look at the second picture (See below) you'll notice that the shin guard on the right boot is much higher than the left -- that's why the padding at the top is not adequate on the right boot.

Portland Works, Randall Street, Sheffield, 1877.
By JH Jenkinson.
For RF Mosley, cutlery manufacturer.
Grade ll* listed.
Portland Works is an extremely good and complete example of a large purpose-built integrated cutlery works dating largely from a single 1870s building phase with a well designed layout for this building type. The works was mechanised, with evidence for a steam engine, but there are also unpowered workshop ranges, illustrating the fact that Sheffield based its reputation on the supremacy of traditional methods. This type of complex is very distinctive to the industrial identity of Sheffield, which, at this time was known throughout the world as a centre of excellence in the manufacturing and processing of steel. Portland Works is an important survival which demonstrates the layout of such a complex, highlights the limited use of power in the cutlery manufacturing process, and retains both hand forges and steam grinding rooms, extremely rare survivals of building types related to specific processes, with probably fewer than five sites in Sheffield now retaining evidence of both. These characteristics, together with the degree of completeness of survival make this site of particular importance and justify its upgrading to Grade II*.
Catherine Wang, Operations Project Manager at The Collective
I joined The Collective after I graduated and I have been with the company for almost seven years. Our mission is to shake up the dairy industry by crafting yoghurt that tastes delicious and is good for the planet too. Within 10 months, we were New Zealand’s best-selling gourmet yoghurt and we’re now stocked around the world including the UK, Australia and the Middle East.
We have a responsibility to conserve the resources we use in the manufacturing process; gas, electricity, compressed air and water. My role is to work with the cross-functional team to initiate and lead projects that drive continuous improvement in the factory to reduce waste, improve process efficiency and promote sustainability.
I have been working on a company-wide water saving initiative. We started off collecting data and analysed our findings to come up with a list of initiatives that would enable us to reduce and re-use water. We’ve invested significant capital expenditure in upgrading equipment and pipework in the factory, as well as optimizing our cleaning process and training operators on the shop floor to apply a number of water saving tips in the workplace. I take my responsibility in this role seriously. It takes a lot of effort to supply water.
I believe that business is about taking care of both the community and the environment, and by caring, we will ultimately deliver long-term financial growth for all stakeholders. Businesses that lead by example are the first to admit that they don’t get it right every time, but by learning and experimenting and shaking things up, we will all benefit.

The year 2020 will definitely be the year of herringbone parquet. More and more families and architects choose it because of its unique pattern design, and the precision it requires during the manufacturing process. Our multi layer 14mm thick herringbone parquet is available in 150mm width and 600mm length, which precisely fall in the category of traditional English wooden parquet dated hundreds years ago. The 4mm fine oak top layer can withstand up to 3 times sanding during its lifetime. Multi layer eucalyptus act as the supporting layer is to keep the floor stable over many decades of use. The top of this floor has been treated with 7 coats of satin lacquer, cured under high voltage Ultra violet light to give it the toughest surface, suitable for most domestic environment, or light commercial use under regular maintenance. This lacquered herringbone parquet has traditional Tongue&Groove connection, allowing professional installer to fully secure the floor to the ground by adhesive or by high pressure nailer. Due to the unique pattern of herringbone parquet, the floorboard is divided evenly into side A and side B, or left and right. All our herringbone parquet is manufactured with clear A and B marking at back of each floorboard, to help installers to identify correct pieces, which in turn helps reducing waste and installation time.

TR King Poker Chip set and some angst from the election returns results in me measuring the thickness of this vintage chips. They have barely (or never) been used - but still don't travel well between some of the wooden trays I have - they are way too tight! Seems the manufacturing process was much less rigorous than what we see today.
Anyway - these are special and unique due to the stamp - and I think I know a LOT about where they came from as there was a receipt in the set, and some research shows that these were likely belonging to Francis O. Drummond of Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Email me for details if interested

If you’re wondering why production of the Tesla Model 3 has been so slow, add one more reason to the list: over-automation of the manufacturing process. Elon Musk has admitted in an interview with CBS that its automation slowed down the process, and wound up creating a “crazy, complex network of conveyor belts” that the company had to scrap in an attempt to speed up production. Tesla has announced it believes it can reach a rate of 5,000 Model 3s a week by the end of Q2 2018. Elon Musk says Tesla relied on too many robots to build the Model 3, which is partly to blame for the delays in manufacturing the crucial mass-market electric car. In an interview with CBS Good Morning, Musk agreed with Tesla’s critics that there was over-reliance on automation and too few human assembly line workers building the Model 3. Earlier this month, Tesla announced that it had officially missed its goal of making 2,500 Model 3 vehicles a week by the end of the first financial quarter of this year. It will start the second quarter making just 2,000 Model 3s per week, but the company says it still believes it can get to a rate of 5,000 Model 3s per week at the midway point of 2018.

Advanced Additive Manufacturing for Hypersonic Aircraft
Utilizing new methods of fabrication and construction, make it possible to use additive manufacturing, dramatically reducing the time and costs of producing hypersonic platforms from missiles, aircraft, and space capable craft. Instead of aircraft being produced in piece, then bolted together; small platforms can be produced as a single unit and large platforms can be produces in large section and mated without bolting. These techniques include using exotic materials and advanced assembly processes, with an end result of streamlining the production costs and time for hypersonic aircraft; reducing months of assembly to weeks. Overall, this process greatly reduced the cost for producing hypersonic platforms. Even to such an extent that a Hellfire missile costs apx $100,000 but by utilizing our technologies, replacing it with a Mach 8-10 hypersonic missile of our physics/engineering and that missile would cost roughly $75,000 each delivered.
Materials used for these manufacturing processes are not disclosed, but overall, provides a foundation for extremely high stresses and thermodynamics, ideal for hypersonic platforms. This specific methodology and materials applications is many decades ahead of all known programs. Even to the extend of normalized space flight and re-entry, without concern of thermodynamic failure.
*Note, most entities that are experimenting with additive manufacturing for hypersonic aircraft, this makes it mainstream and standardized processes, which also applies for mass production.
What would normally be measured in years and perhaps a decade to go from drawing board to test flights, is reduced to singular months and ready for production within a year maximum.
Unified Turbine Based Combined Cycle (U-TBCC)
To date, the closest that NASA and industry have achieved for turbine based aircraft to fly at hypersonic velocities is by mounting a turbine into an aircraft and sharing the inlet with a scramjet or rocket based motor. Reaction Engines Sabre is not able to achieve hypersonic velocities and can only transition into a non air breathing rocket for beyond Mach 4.5
However, utilizing Unified Turbine Based Combine Cycle also known as U-TBCC, the two separate platforms are able to share a common inlet and the dual mode ramjet/scramjet is contained within the engine itself, which allows for a much smaller airframe footprint, thus engingeers are able to then design much higher performance aerial platforms for hypersonic flight, including the ability for constructing true single stage to orbit aircraft by utilizing a modification/version that allows for transition to outside atmosphere propulsion without any other propulsion platforms within the aircraft. By transitioning and developing aircraft to use Unified Turbine Based Combined Cycle, this propulsion system opens up new options to replace that airframe deficit for increased fuel capacity and/or payload.
Enhanced Dynamic Cavitation
Dramatically Increasing the efficiency of fuel air mixture for combustion processes at hypersonic velocities within scramjet propulsion platforms. The aspects of these processes are non disclosable.
Dynamic Scramjet Ignition Processes
For optimal scramjet ignition, a process known as Self Start is sought after, but in many cases if the platform becomes out of attitude, the scramjet will ignite. We have already solved this problem which as a result, a scramjet propulsion system can ignite at lower velocities, high velocities, at optimal attitude or not optimal attitude. It doesn't matter, it will ignite anyways at the proper point for maximum thrust capabilities at hypersonic velocities.
Hydrogen vs Kerosene Fuel Sources
Kerosene is an easy fuel to work with, and most western nations developing scramjet platforms use Kerosene for that fact. However, while kerosene has better thermal properties then Hydrogen, Hydrogen is a far superior fuel source in scramjet propulsion flight, do it having a much higher efficiency capability. Because of this aspect, in conjunction with our developments, it allows for a MUCH increased fuel to air mixture, combustion, thrust; and ability for higher speeds; instead of very low hypersonic velocities in the Mach 5-6 range. Instead, Mach 8-10 range, while we have begun developing hypersonic capabilities to exceed 15 in atmosphere within less then 5 years.
Conforming High Pressure Tank Technology for CNG and H2.
As most know in hypersonics, Hydrogen is a superior fuel source, but due to the storage abilities, can only be stored in cylinders thus much less fuel supply. Not anymore, we developed conforming high pressure storage technology for use in aerospace, automotive sectors, maritime, etc; which means any overall shape required for 8,000+ PSI CNG or Hydrogen. For hypersonic platforms, this means the ability to store a much larger volume of hydrogen vs cylinders.
As an example, X-43 flown by Nasa which flew at Mach 9.97. The fuel source was Hydrogen, which is extremely more volatile and combustible then kerosene (JP-7), via a cylinder in the main body. If it had used our technology, that entire section of the airframe would had been an 8,000 PSI H2 tank, which would had yielded 5-6 times the capacity. While the X-43 flew 11 seconds under power at Mach 9.97, at 6 times the fuel capacity would had yielded apx 66 seconds of fuel under power at Mach 9.97. If it had flew slower, around Mach 6, same principles applied would had yielded apx 500 seconds of fuel supply under power (slower speeds required less energy to maintain).
Enhanced Fuel Mixture During Shock Train Interaction
Normally, fuel injection is conducted at the correct insertion point within the shock train for maximum burn/combustion. Our methodologies differ, since almost half the fuel injection is conducted PRE shock train within the isolator, so at the point of isolator injection the fuel enhances the combustion process, which then requires less fuel injection to reach the same level of thrust capabilities.
Improved Bow Shock Interaction
Smoother interaction at hypersonic velocities and mitigating heat/stresses for beyond Mach 6 thermodynamics, which extraordinarily improves Type 3, 4, and 5 shock interaction.
6,000+ Fahrenheit Thermal Resistance
To date, the maximum thermal resistance was tested at AFRL in the spring of 2018, which resulted in a 3,200F thermal resistance for a short duration. This technology, allows for normalized hypersonic thermal resistance of 3,000-3,500F sustained, and up to 6,500F resistance for short endurance, ie 90 seconds or less. 10-20 minute resistance estimate approximately 4,500F +/- 200F.
*** This technology advancement also applies to Aerospike rocket engines, in which it is common for Aerospike's to exceed 4,500-5,000F temperatures, which results in the melting of the reversed bell housing. That melting no longer ocurrs, providing for stable combustion to ocurr for the entire flight envelope
Scramjet Propulsion Side Wall Cooling
With old technologies, side wall cooling is required for hypersonic flight and scramjet propulsion systems, otherwise the isolator and combustion regions of a scramjet would melt, even using advanced ablatives and ceramics, due to their inability to cope with very high temperatures. Using technology we have developed for very high thermodynamics and high stresses, side wall cooling is no longer required, thus removing that variable from the design process and focusing on improved ignition processes and increasing net thrust values.
Lower Threshold for Hypersonic Ignition
Active and adaptive flight dynamics, resulting in the ability for scramjet ignition at a much lower velocity, ie within ramjet envelope, between Mach 2-4, and seamless transition from supersonic to hypersonic flight, ie supersonic ramjet (scramjet). This active and dynamic aspect, has a wide variety of parameters for many flight dynamics, velocities, and altitudes; which means platforms no longer need to be engineered for specific altitude ranges or preset velocities, but those parameters can then be selected during launch configuration and are able to adapt actively in flight.
Dramatically Improved Maneuvering Capabilities at Hypersonic Velocities
Hypersonic vehicles, like their less technologically advanced brethren, use large actuator and the developers hope those controls surfaces do not disintegrate in flight. In reality, it is like rolling the dice, they may or may not survive, hence another reason why the attempt to keep velocities to Mach 6 or below. We have shrunken down control actuators while almost doubling torque and response capabilities specifically for hypersonic dynamics and extreme stresses involved, which makes it possible for maximum input authority for Mach 10 and beyond.
Paradigm Shift in Control Surface Methodologies, Increasing Control Authority (Internal Mechanical Applications)
To date, most control surfaces for hypersonic missile platforms still use fins, similar to lower speed conventional missiles, and some using ducted fins. This is mostly due to lack of comprehension of hypersonic velocities in their own favor. Instead, the body itself incorporates those control surfaces, greatly enhancing the airframe strength, opening up more space for hardware and fuel capacity; while simultaneously enhancing the platforms maneuvering capabilities.
A scramjet missile can then fly like conventional missile platforms, and not straight and level at high altitudes, losing velocity on it's decent trajectory to target. Another added benefit to this aspect, is the ability to extend range greatly, so if anyone elses hypersonic missile platform were developed for 400 mile range, falling out of the sky due to lack of glide capabilities; our platforms can easily reach 600+ miles, with minimal glide deceleration.
The Manufacturing Process Workshop:
You'll work with a team to invent a process for wrapping candy and getting it to its final destination, then go head-to-head with other teams to see whose process is the fastest and best quality. Along the way, you'll learn all about the fundamentals of industrial operations engineering including continuous improvement, quality control, and more.
