Part 7 ... restoration complete!

Final video in the series, documenting the restoration of a 1928 Maytag Model 90 wringer washer.

Towards the end of the video, with the agitator engaged, my voice is inaudible. What I'm explaining is that there is some slight "play" in the agitator drive block, which give the "knocking" sound. With water in the tub, this noise is mitigated.

These were popular, not sure why Daimler stopped selling them.

Astounding live performer, hopefully you caught him at our party the other night or elsewhere at the Great Escape.

Cover is by me and Artwerk, otherwise know as Matt Barker. It's supposed to be JFK meets Arthur Scargill in Sin City.

Fascinating that this one was painted for John Deere and still works. Maytag produced a washing machine with a gas powered motor branded as the Multi-Motor and a washing machine with an agitator that forced the water through the clothes branded as the Gyrafoam. These inventions proved extremely valuable as by 1927, Maytag was producing more than twice the washers of its nearest competition and had outperformed the industry with growth doubling for five consecutive years. Apparently a serious revolution in clothes washing.

This villa was built in the 18th century on one of the most beautiful places on earth with a killer view! Only this view will add a million dollars to the price of these grounds. It was built by a wealthy baron who built it as his summer house. When the baron left, rumours say that the villa was owned by anarchists, Utopians and agitators. At one time even they left and currently the place is awaiting to be bought. Probably for some several millions…

This a very old Slurry Agitator which is to be used to pump water out of the bog so that turf can be harvested. We had to do a few welding jobs and make up a PTO (Power Take Off) shaft before we could test it in the bog.

*** This is one photo of a sequence from Pund Bend, Warrandyte - please see my photostream for the rest of the series and sequence! ****

This beautiful bird was being teased by unthinking humans - people who don't normally come to the bush. I was amazed how tolerant this bird was.

I carefully framed the shots to exclude the many poking fingers and hands - that stupidly even poked this bird - how it didn't react by nipping them is beyond me!

The sequence of photos shows the bird turning its head to its agitators

An iconic Australian bird - The Laughing Kookaburra, Dacelo novaeguineae, is a familiar Australian carnivorous bird of the Kingfisher family, well known for its call. It is found throughout eastern Australia, and has been introduced into the south-west corner of Western Australia, Tasmania, Flinders Island, Kangaroo Island.

The Laughing Kookaburra is a handsome, stocky bird of about 45 cm in length, with a large head, a prominent brown eye, and a very large bill. The male can be easily distinguished from the female by the blue hues on his wing feathers and darker blue on his tail feathers. The female on the other hand has a small amount of aqua on her wing feathers, but no blue on her tail feathers.

Kookaburras occupy woodland territories (including forests) in loose family groups, and their laughter serves the same purpose as a great many other bird calls -- to demarcate territorial borders.

The "Laughing Kookaburra" is known by its name for its "laugh" which it uses to greet its mate after periods of absences. It can be heard at any time of day but most frequently shortly after dawn and especially when the colour drains from the forest after sunset.

One bird starts with a low, hiccupping chuckle, then throws its head back in raucous laughter: often several others join in. If a rival tribe is within earshot and replies, the whole family soon gathers to fill the bush with ringing laughter. Hearing kookaburras in full voice is one of the more extraordinary experiences of the Australian bush, something even locals cannot ignore; some visitors, unless forewarned, may find their call startling.

Kookaburras hunt much as other kingfishers (or indeed Australasian robins) do: by perching on a convenient branch or wire and waiting patiently for prey to pass by: mice and similar-sized small mammals, large insects, lizards, small birds and nestlings, and most famously, snakes. Small prey are preferred, but not infrequently do kookaburras take surprisingly large creatures, including venomous snakes a good deal longer than the bird itself.

Most species of Kookaburra tend to live in family units, with offspring helping the parents hunt and care for the next generation of offspring.

First flight of the turkey vulture glider. Friend-for-decades

Rey Chalberg gave me crucial help setting up the radio controls

and operated the camera. Book buddy and long time agitator

Roger Goldstein exacted a promise from me that he would get to

witness this flight.

After 4 years of work on the glider, I wasn't going to wait for the

fog to clear. Actually this was such an interesting, novel, and

challenging bird to build that I didn't want the project to end.

Friends with aeronautical engineering backgrounds were

skeptical. How it could turn without a rudder was a mystery.

All I could say was, "When have you ever seen a rudder on a

bird?"

The glider was very responsive. I launched it a little hard and

she pitched up, but responded instantly to forward stick. Quick

response also to left and right turn commands.

An absolutely brilliant design by Bob Hoey. Built from masterfully

drawn plans with instructions, published by Model Airplane News,

1128 West Michigan Avenue - Jimmy John's and the Kzoo Cat Cafe were pre-emptively boarded up after the city received warnings that violent agitators were headed to Kalamazoo to take advantage of the unrest caused by the Black Lives Matter gatherings.

Very happy I got to pose in front of a P-8A Poseidon just back from a mission over the Olympic Military Operating Area (MOA) ;-). I'm sure Protect Olympic Peninsula, West Coast Action Alliance and other nonsense groups with the same 1% of progressive agitators will have some hate mail for me...

There was once a time when you routinely washed white things in hot or warm water, and you had to add fabric softener and bleach yourself. Acrilan? Arnel? Dynel? Dacron? Orlon? Seems almost quaint now.

The fabric softener routine was made easier by the advent of the Downy Ball. Put the fabric softener in it, close the seal, put it in with the clothes, and it releases the softener with the second rinse. 'Tis witchcraft ;)

KOSUN solids control produces high quality solids control equipment- KOSUN vaccum degasser which is installed to release the hazardous gasses in the drilling fluids that many bring safty hazerds and create operational problems during normal drilling operation.

Features & Benefits of KOSUN vacuum degasser:

Self contained unit without need for centrifugal pump to feed drilling mud.

Eliminate corrosion and reduce reparation and maintenance costs.

Short footprint,can be installed in smaller spaces.

Degasser can act as a big agitator for the drilling mud, which helps the treatment for desander and desilter.

KOSUN SOLIDS CONTROL main products includes: shale shaker, centrifuge, desander, desilter, vacuum degasser, sand pump, agitator and mud tank, and horizontal centrifuge and disc centrifuge

Wheal Peevor Stamps Engine House from the Pumping Engine House. The stamps were cast iron heads lifted by a rotating arm and then dropped onto the ore to crush it to a 'pulp' before being moved by water to the next step in the process. The stamping was obviously extremely noisy and is reputed to have been heard up to 3 miles away - no ear defenders in those days! Further refinement of the slurry of water and crushed ore was by washing in a sort of agitator which separated the various constituents of the slurry and allowed the tin to be extracted.

Tin mining started in Cornwall over 2,500 years ago according to Roman and Greek records of merchants trading with Cornish 'tinners'. Because of this long history of mining, especially in it's peak between 1750 and 1850, Cornish miners were the best in the world for hard rock mining and the decline in the Cornish industry saw Cornish Miners emigrating to countries such as Australia America and South Africa.

“Daily Life on the River”

“Washing Machine”

“Early ringer washer with agitator (inside). Used after the introduction of electricity to do laundry. Dirty clothes and other linens were wasted with soapy water inside the washing machine. The clothes were then rung through the rollers on top of the machine and rinsed in a tub (see Washtub) before being rung one more time and hung out to dry”

“Coffee Mill”

“Coffee mill was used to grind coffee beans before making coffee.”

“Washtub and Scrub Board”

“Before electric washing machines were widely available, laundry was done by hand. This tub held hot, soapy water and the clothes were scrubbed against the scrub before being rinsed and hung out to dry.”

“Oil Can”

“Held oil that was used to lubricate machinery.”

“Coal Scuttle”

“(Early 1920’s) When coal was used to heat houses, this scuttle was used to carry coal into the house from the coal bin. After the coal was burned, the ashes were shoveled back into the coal scuttle and emptied outside.”

“Wooden Mallet”

“Used in conjunction with a chisel, possibly for splitting wood.”

“Cast Iron Pot”

“Used for cooking and heating water over a fire.”

“Stove”

“”(1930’s) An early version of the space heater, this cast iron stove burned coal and was used primarily for heat.”

“Hog Scrapers”

“The metal hog scraper was used to scrape hair from the skin during the yearly hog killings. It also served as practical candle holder.”

“Wrench”

“Used to tighten various sizes of bolts (note the different size square openings).”

“Milk Bottles”

“Bottles from the days of home milk delivery. This collection of bottles represents the local dairies that operated in the Roanoke Rapids area over the years.”

This villa was built in the 18th century on one of the most beautiful places on earth with a killer view! Only this view will add a million dollars to the price of these grounds. It was built by a wealthy baron who built it as his summer house. When the baron left, rumours say that the villa was owned by anarchists, Utopians and agitators. At one time even they left and currently the place is awaiting to be bought. Probably for some several millions…
