Atomic City was called "Midway" until 1950, as it is halfway between the towns of Blackfoot and Arco. The town had a larger population when the neighboring Idaho National Laboratory site was newer, known as the "National Reactor Testing Station" until 1975.

Count Basie and Neil Heft's then modern take on 'big band' swing came out in 1959, the same year as the first intercontinental ballistic missile. The album's cover artwork of an atom bomb detonation (see below), played with the then modern zeitgeist, even if the record's music remained a polished and refined mix of unsplit musical atoms.
The effort of leaders, thinkers and populations to change these nuclear age missile attackers of mother-nature herself from the category of 'weapons' into the concept of 'deterrent' was considerable. Alongside the saving of the whale, the recalibration that formed via SALT agreements and post Soviet nuclear accords, and the march of the common sense of man, remain a witness of how mankind can redress and be wise - even when societies remain quite different. Tinkering with this calibration and returning nuclear 'deterrents' back into nuclear 'weapons', be it via mean-spirited 'play' or actual 'action', would respect neither man, his past or 'nature' and her complex moods. Tinkering would require a support structure of collective narcissistic madness and a token fool.

Press play and then 'L' and even f11. Escape and f11 a second time to return.
Sorry for the typo at the beginning, but you can't replace video on Flickr so it will have to stay. "Slanky" should read "Splanky", and thanks Art who also commented "I’m thinking it’s Frank Foster on tenor? Eddie Lockjaw Davis did other tenor solos on the album" :-)
The AWRE (Atomic Weapons Research Establishment) at Aldermaston ran it's own fleet of non-psv buses including 12 Bedford YRQ / Willowbrook 001 B42D buses registered MBL941-5L and OJB327-33R. Wearing a livery not dissimilar to that used by the AERE at Harwell, OJB327R is seen next to the Altonian yard in Alton in February 1987. Also in shot is one of their Bedford YRQ / Marshall B42D batch registered HGM613-6N and one of their Bedford VAS / Wadham Stringer buses registered WDP991/2T.
The mushroom cloud from an atomic bomb gets bigger at Frenchman's Flats, Nevada in 1953. It would be interesting to see if there are a lot of two headed snakes, lizards, and rabbits out there from the testing radiation, but I wouldn't want to be the one to do the looking.

Okay, I get why people like HP5. I do too. I get it. It's just that I never reach for it. It's not something that's ever been in my mind. I don't see a location or a scene and think "ohh this would look great with HP5"!
I do that with Pan F and Fomapan. Even weird emulsions like Polypan and Tasma Mikrat. But never with HP5. Maybe it's just too perfect. Like a less sterile Tmax.

This is a modification of an older project I did 2-3 years ago -- a Halloween version of the Big Bang Theory-style atomic cut scene. This one is a lot smoother and a lot less jumpy than the other version.
This was a rainy day experiment for me. The weather outside was really cold and rainy on Saturday, so I worked on this for most of the day.
Well, here it is. My second and final entry into the 100th Lugnut's challenge
I picked No. 98 and my assignment was to build any bubble top car.
I was originally going to build The Homer but settled for something a little more exciting and more my speed.
And once again I had tons of fun building and photographing this beauty.
The majority of the building got finished in the last few days and as one usually does there best work when under pressure I'm pretty satisfied with the result.
There are a few areas that I would have liked to spend more time tackling but hey, you need to stop at some point.
Thanks once again Lugnuts for another super fun challenge!
Let me know what you think.

At 8:15am on 6th August 1945, the first atomic bomb in human history was dropped on Hiroshima. Although, the Atomic Bomb Dome was located almost directly underneath the explosion, it somehow avoided complete destruction and the remains of the building still stand today.

variations on a theme- atomic coffee machines manufactured in Italy, Austria, Hungary, The United Kingdom, India, China: c. 1946-2009.
The Atomic Coffee Maker was designed by Mr Giordano Robbiati of Milan, Italy around 1946. Over the years various manufacturers in separate countries produced coffee machines based on Robbiati's patented designs and also labeled as 'Atomic' machines. Over time the Atomic trademark became the descriptive name of the distinctive shape/design of the machine- in the same manner as the trademarks 'escalator', 'bakelite' and 'hoover' became generic descriptive terms through common use in everyday language. Obviously in the case of the Atomic coffee maker the product is far more obscure than the ubiquitous 'escalator' however the trademark principles are identical. This process is called 'genericisation'.
Trade mark owners seek to avoid using or allowing others to use a trademark in a purely descriptive way, an example of this would be Johnson & Johnsons's ongoing defense of the 'Band Aid' trade mark. By encouraging other manufacturers to use the term 'sticking plaster' instead of 'band aid' J&J have managed to prevent their mark being declared generic and invalid in the USA by constantly threatening to litigate any company that describes their 'sticking plasters' as 'band-aids'.
Ensuring a trademark does not become the generic name of the goods it is applied to is especially important when an inventor creates a new device: he or she should take special care to create a new name that describes the invention alongside a separate trade name (trademark) which signifies the origin of the device. In the case of the Atomic coffee maker this did not happen: the Atomic trademark was used as the name for the novel invention as well as a trademark for the manufacturer. This was further compounded by separate manufacturers using the same name to describe/trademark their ATOMIC machines.
For a trademark to be valid it must be distinctive of a particular source or manufacturer- this is why in law a trademark is known as a 'badge of origin'. Registration of a trademark does not guarantee validity under law: it is up to the owner of the mark to pursue any alleged infringements. In such a case the validity of a mark can be called into question and the mark can be de-resgistered. In addition use of the trademark in a descriptive manner is not use of the mark as a trademark and does not constitute infringement.
In print and other media most of the coffee machines pictured above are almost universally described as ATOMIC coffee makers (and nothing else), regardless of the manufacturer. Today the ATOMIC name cannot act as a 'badge of origin' as it does not indicate a particular source- and therefore it cannot act as a legitimate trademark in relation to coffee machines of this (atomic) design. No trader should be granted a perpetual monopoly on the descriptive name of this type of distinctive coffee maker.
A good example of this reality is the Otto/Otso machine pictured above: this machine has never been labeled as an Atomic coffee machine by the manufacturer, and it is a product of the 21st Century- not the Twentieth. Unlike all the other machines pictured here it is made of steel not alloy. Yet upon its release into the market around 2009 it was immediately described as an 'atomic coffee maker' by ordinary people- all over the world- using the Atomic word to signify the shape and form of the machine. That is to say: using ATOMIC as a name, and never as a 'badge of origin'. And it is no wonder why: the Otso machine clearly belongs in this collection of Atomic Type Coffee Machines- if it does not look just like an Atomic: what on Earth does it look like?

Signs for the iconic mid century motel on the edge of Death Valley and near the U.S. atomic proving grounds.
Ruin of Hiroshima Prefectural Promotion Hall and now commonly called the Atomic Bomb Dome or A-Bomb Dome (原爆ドーム Genbaku Dōmu) is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, Japan and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The ruin of the hall serves as a memorial to the people who were killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. Over 70,000 people were killed instantly, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation.
