This stand held the module when it was out of the orbiter cargo bay and was sent to the Smithsonian along with the module.
T-trak module, N scale, with maintenance of way equipment and control tower. Still needs target indicators for switches, a couple of crew figures, one on tower deck, one (a bear) headed for outhouse at back.
The interior of a raised module. Every module is 48x48 and raised 2 bricks (or 6 plates). The technic cross inside keeps the baseplate from bending and twisting.
Marine Systems students put together their modules - a cross section of a boat that they will plumb and wire.
I decided to try my hand at taking pictures of various pieces of electronics lying around my office... It turns out it's not as easy as it seems. I managed to get a few OK shots, but man was that a lot of work, both pre and post shoot.
Headed out to the local school playground for a bit of fun and photos. The light seemed fine, but it was getting to the point where the camera couldn't open the aperture wide enough, even at iso 800. Higher than that and it gets unacceptably noisy.
The Medication Module is a terrific selection of the commonly needed over the counter medications. For travel or backcountry use. Module comes heat sealed in a resealable bag for easy access and storage.

Module Building
Though many varieties of module builders and even combined module builder pickers exist, a typical module builder is a large trailer that is moved by a tractor and remains stationary when used. The wheels are often hydraulically retracted when the module builder is operational. A module builder is about 30 ft. long, 12 ft. high and 10 ft. wide. It works similarly to a garbage truck. When loading the cotton from the cotton picker into the module builder it should be distributed as evenly as possible. After loading the cotton into the module builder, a hydraulic compactor moves up and down along the length of the machine. This process is repeated every time that a cotton picker is unloaded into the module builder until a module is built up and discharged through the tailgate of the machine. The module is stored on the field and the module builder is moved into a new position to build up another module. The weight of one module is about 10 metric tons. (22046.2 lbs.)
In 2002 the ASABE (American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers) dedicated the cotton module builder as an historic landmark of agricultural engineering, naming it "one of the top three inventions in mechanized cotton production.”
