Penelec, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), has begun a significant project to help prevent or minimize service disruptions in downtown Johnstown, Cambria County, by reinforcing its underground electrical network.
Last weekend the motorcycle section of the Vintage Car Club of NZ ran a reliability trial and invited the Canterbury Classic Trials group to put on a demonstration and also take part in their event. The trials area also attracted members from the Vintage Club on suitable machines who tried the obstacles. These were largely man-made and included pallets (Thanks Palletmakers in ChCh), fence posts, tyres, a bank, tree stump, and logs. Due to the range of machines lined up for the reliability trial these sections were easier and included tight turns, tree roots, and banks. As well as trials bikes other contenders included trail bikes, 1970’s Vespa and Honda scooters, 1960's Royal Enfield and BMW motorcycles , 1937 Ariel, 1927 AJS, 1924 Triumph, as well as a Velosolex. A laid back and fun day mixing two groups both interested in classic motorcycles. Enjoy the photos.

Info (SP): Sin Lugar a duda el mejor vehiculo que esta empresa tuvo en toda su historia fue la primera remesa de Scania Castrosua CS-40 que adquirieron a principios de los 90. Tal fue su exito que Guaguas ansiaba repetir su suerte cuando aparecio el modelo CS-40 City II. En principio Guaguas decidio usar esta gama de la Carrocera Gallega para probar la fiabilidad de distintas marcas como Iveco, MAN, Mercedes Benz y por supuesto Scania. De esta ultima se realizaron 4 pedidos en total, lo que sumaron un total de 72 unidades. La mayor parte de esta remesa fue retirada a mediados de 2021. Las unidades restantes como esta fueron retirados entre finales de 2023 y (en su mayoría) 2024.
Info (EN): Without a doubt the best vehicle this company ever included into they fleet were the Scania Castrosua CS-40 they purchased in the early 1990s. Such was it success that Guaguas was desperate to repeat it with the newly released CS-40 City II range. However this time, Guaguas used this specific range of the Galician coach builder to test the reliability of different brands such us Iveco, MAN, Mercedes Benz and of course Scania. Throughout the years, Guaguas placed 4 orders from the latter, adding to a total of 72 vehicles. The majority of this batch was withdrawn in mid-2021. The remaining vehicles were withdrawn between late 2023 and (mostly) 2024.

Advert for John Smith Cranes, manufactured by John Smith (Keighley) Ltd. of The Crane Works, Keighley. The advert was carried in a 1961 edition of The Engineer magazine. It was promoting the reliability and speed of installation of the company's overhead cranes. The original advert measures approximately 240mm by 330mm.
John Smith (Keighley) Ltd. was originally established in 1866, operating from a small millwright’s shop and manufacturing woodworking and stone-making machinery. The firm was founded by John Smith then run by his son Frank and then grandson George Albert Smith for around forty years. The firm became a private limited company in 1900, had moved into new works and started to focus on the design and manufacture of cranes (both derrick and overhead travelling cranes). During the Second World War, Smiths of Keighley were the sole manufacturers of specially designed cranes used to construct Bailey bridges, used by British and Allied Forces to advance troops and tanks.
In 1944 the company was acquired by Thos. W. Ward Ltd. of Sheffield but continued to operate as John Smith (Keighley) Ltd. Expansion of the Crane Works off Bradford Road in Stockbridge, Keighley, continued and by the 1960s the site covered nearly five acres. The range of cranes manufactured under the name John Smith Cranes stretched from small derricks to overhead cranes with a span of up to 120 feet, capable of lifting up to 150 tons. John Smith’s Electric Overhead Travelling Cranes were to be found in all the major industries including steelworks, power stations and atomic energy projects around the UK. There were clients around the world including those in Yugoslavia, New Zealand, Ghana, South Africa, Pakistan, India and Saudi Arabia.
They continued to trade throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, adding John Smith Micromotive (remote radio control technology for overhead cranes). The company downsized in the late 1980s and relocated to Worth Way in Keighley. The Crane Works site was demolished in the late 1980s and is now occupied by the Alston Retail Park (with B&Q). Parent company Thos. W. Ward Ltd. went into administration in 1992 and John Smith (Keighley) Ltd. closed in Keighley in 1995.
Advert scanned and donated by Tim Neal in October 2020. The original advert is held in the physical archive of Keighley and District Local History Society.

Specialized pipeline inspection equipment is used to inspect the inside of natural gas pipelines to look for dents, corrosion and other items. Consumers Energy is inspecting nearly 300 miles of natural gas pipeline in 2015 to proactively seek and repair imperfections that could compromise the integrity of those lines and potentially affect their operation.

Sierra Nevada’s Elverta electrician crew built a new tool to help move heavy equipment in a new and more efficient way. The crew invented a breaker trailer that can hold almost 10,000 pounds and is low enough to the ground. The trailer's set up makes it practical for work at a substation, where it avoids contacting any energized equipment in the yard and yet is strong enough to hold heavy breakers while maintenance crews changes them out.

A remarkably versatile design; deep ballasted keel, short ends, high freeboard, considerable sheer and short rig make for a boat well suited both to heavy weather sailing and to the generally kinder conditions of the Med. This is where SANTA CLAUS II has spent her life, her owners benefitting from the well balanced fractional rig for easy sailing. Her sea kindliness and reliability have prompted Maurizio Adreani one of her former owners to expresses quite recently his continued great affection for her - considering she has always been loved by her owners as a boat worthwhile to be loved and having sailed nearly 70 years considers SANTA CLAUS a very good and reliable friend.
History
The boat was built in 1959 by Cantiere Ottonello of Varazze for Ing Paolo Ragazzi of Fiat, who had expressed his intention to go round the World in her. In the event he never made his World tour but made very good use of the yacht mainly in the Mediterranean.
Actually this boat is to the same design as ROLLING STONE IV, built earlier in 1955 - and incidentally considered to have been his last before retirement that year. That boat demonstrated her seaworthiness weathering a Gulf Stream gale near Bermuda in 1956 and several more off the US West Coast subsequently.
In the late 60s Sr Ragazzi sold to Guglielmo Coppola, owner of FIAM a leading Italian elevator factory, who was to keep SANTA CLAUS at Santa Margherita Ligure enjoying her also with his sons for about ten years.
By 1976 Coppola the father had given up sailing and the sons by then were more interested in faster craft so that they decided to sell her to Maurizio Adreani. Delighted that he had the chance of buying “this wonderful and reliable boat in spring of 1976” he enjoyed sailing SANTA CLAUS with his family and friends in the Mediterranean for about 20 years from A, Alassio to Varazze – so not quite Z but pretty well everywhere in between. With increasing age he decided to sell but was very happy that it was to an old friend (the late) Tito Gavazzi, who turned out to be very good and efficient owner who did much to update and improve the yacht to her present condition.

FirstEnergy expects to invest about $113 million in 2017 on distribution and transmission infrastructure projects to help enhance reliability for more than 300,000 customers in Toledo Edison’s western Ohio service territory. The work includes installing breakers, relays, switches, capacitors and other equipment.
The work is part of the company’s effort to use advanced technology to help enhance service reliability to customers. The upgrades included installing more resilient polymer fuses, adding larger 10-foot cross-arms to increase wire clearance, and installing fault indicators that help identify problem areas on a circuit which helps speed the restoration process if an outage occurs.
