Just got this light up string toy thingy from Tanga.com. It uses LED to make cool patterns on a twily string. Simply concept... cool idea... impossible to photograph. This kind of gives you the idea.
Each string of rail is numbered and labeled with its heat number.
Although girder rail is the de facto standard for streetcar installations around the world, its use is relatively uncommon in the US; it's only rolled in mills overseas, and Buy America requirements for federally-funded projects prevent agencies from acquiring the girder rail. Instead, most use T-rail with a molded rubber flangeway, which isn't an ideal solution since the flangeway lacks perfect rigidity and can be deformed during the process of pouring the roadway slab or torn up from contact with wheel flanges. US-produced 112TRAM block rail has also recently been installed in Portland and is gaining acceptance. However, since Seattle's First Hill Streetcar project is funded locally (via Sound Transit's taxing authority), the preferred 51R1 can be used for this installation.
I join the ranks of Moxiee and unsure shot!
We were in NYC for a few days, and I had just finished a call with Moxiee. I told her I was having an iced tea in Little Italy and that the festival was indeed happening. She signed off with "Look for the String Cheese Guy!" 2 minutes later, there he was.

This book belonged to my Dad. It sits on one of our bookshelves and periodically I remember it and take it out to have a look at it. Dad bought it on the 2nd March 1934. I know this because he always wrote his name in his books along with the date. He will have been in Cambridge so very probably he bought it at Heffer's Bookshop, the same people who published it. Inside the book is the original green string that it came with. I've never removed the string and it looks like Dad never it took it out. But may be he did. He certainly read the book as on a couple of pages I have found that he has marked the text. The book is a lecture that W W Rouse Ball gave at the Royal Institution in London in 1920. It starts -
"I have chosen as the subject for this Lecture String Figures, which I present to you as a world-wide amusement of primitive man, and as being in themselves interesting to most people."
It then goes on for nearly 22 full pages (with some illustrations). At the end he introduces Mrs Rishbeth whose "adventurous travels among aboriginees are well known". Mrs Rishbeth then showed 14 examples of string figures. The book goes on to give instructions on 30 string figures.
W W Rouse Ball was an eminent mathematician at Trinity College, Cambridge, though not at the same time as Dad was a student in Cambridge as Rouse Ball died in 1925.
Mrs Kathleen Haddon Rishbeth (1881 - 1961) was quite an academic in her own right beginning in zoology and then turning to anthropology. She was co-author of the book "The World's Peoples and How They Live", and also wrote extensively about string figures. Such titles as "Artists in String: String Figures: Their Regional Distribution and Social Significance ". She was the daughter of the Cambridge academic Professor Alfred Cort Haddon.

One of the first modular shelving designs, Nils Strinning's design was conceived in 1949, and awarded a gold medal at the Milan trienalle in 1954.
One of the key features is a 'magazine shelf', in other words something old tiles can be displayed on!
The G-String by Chris Callor. (thank you Garvinfred for helping me here) Elegant patterns emerge from a string that is spun very quickly. Wonderful piece! - Duncan.co/Burning-Man-2021
