View of a 3.7” anti-aircraft gun on mobile mounting, ready for despatch outside 12 Shop, Scotswood Works, Newcastle upon Tyne, 30 June 1942 (TWAM ref. DX1529/1).
‘Workshop of the World’ is a phrase often used to describe Britain’s manufacturing dominance during the Nineteenth Century. It’s also a very apt description for the Elswick Works and Scotswood Works of Vickers Armstrong and its predecessor companies. These great factories, situated in Newcastle along the banks of the River Tyne, employed hundreds of thousands of men and women and built a huge variety of products for customers around the globe.
The Elswick Works was established by William George Armstrong (later Lord Armstrong) in 1847 to manufacture hydraulic cranes. From these relatively humble beginnings the company diversified into many fields including shipbuilding, armaments and locomotives. By 1953 the Elswick Works covered 70 acres and extended over a mile along the River Tyne. This set of images, mostly taken from our Vickers Armstrong collection, includes fascinating views of the factories at Elswick and Scotswood, the products they produced and the people that worked there. By preserving these archives we can ensure that their legacy lives on.

Preparations are underway to lift the Orion Service Module Umbilical (OSMU) up for installation on the mobile launcher tower at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mobile launcher tower will be equipped with a number of lines, called umbilicals, that will connect to the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft for Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1). The OSMU will be located high on the mobile launcher tower and, prior to launch, will transfer liquid coolant for the electronics and air for the Environmental Control System to the Orion service module that houses these critical systems to support the spacecraft. EM-1 is scheduled to launch in 2018. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing installation of the umbilicals. Photo credit: NASA/Leif Heimbold
The mighty Terex AC 1000 in 1/50 scale by Conrad.
Seen here equipped with its 9-section 100m, SSL boom guying system, both front and rear outriggers as well as the maximum possible 228 tonnes of counterweight.
All done!
It's probably a good idea to avoid lifting the mobile by the arc. The glue keeps things pretty stable, but that base is a lot of weight for it to support for too long..
Kampf gegen den Kabelsalat
Do you know this situation when you want to charge your mobile and don't know where to put it?
So I made this little bag from some Ikea linen and little scraps from my stack.
It is about 4 x 4 x 2 inch (10 x 10 x 5 cm) without handle.

People photograph their kids on slides all the time. Either before or after eating pies, all day breakfasts and fish and chips. Maybe they're hoping for an action puke shot for facebook.
New sensors. More intelligent apps. Mobile-connected smart objects. Wearables. LTE. Augmented reality. Multi-platform development tools. Precision indoor location sensing. Ultra HD. Flexible screens. The list of anticipated future mobile technologies goes on and on.
On April 23, NYC Media Lab and Razorfish presented an evening of demos and discussion on Mobile Futures to learn what’s on the verge of commercialization, what’s still in the lab, and what advances will change the nature of media and communications in the future.
