A Benson Bubbler drinking fountain seen in front of Benson High School in Portland, Oregon.
In 1912 lumber baron, Simon Benson, donated $10,000 to the City of Portland, Oregon to install 20 drinking fountains. They became know as Benson Bubblers. A teatotaler, Benson hoped that the fountains would keep his lumberjacks out of the taverns. There are now 52 Benson Bubblers, most located in the downtown area of Portland. This exception is located in front of Benson High School. In 1916, Benson gave the Portland School District $100,000 to help fund the building of a polytechnic school, which became known as Benson Polytechnic High School.

I aquired this cute Skipper today with bubble hair style. She needs a light cleaning and her face paint touched up, but otherwise adorable.
These bubblers (water fountains) dispensing free filtered water are becoming very common around Sydney. Generally not as ornately encased as this one is... The idea is to cut down on the number of plastic water bottles ending up as landfill, or just discarded on the streets. Bundanoon in the Southern Highlands recently banned the selling of bottled water completely, and has made available these types of bubblers all around the town. And truth be known it's exactly what we're paying for in ALL the bottled brands of water anyway.
Isetta 'Bubble' car. Several makes of three-wheeled cars appeared after the second World War, filling the gap left by a devastated motor industry and using the minimum of sheet steel. The Isetta was designed in Italy in 1952 and more than 150,000 were built under licence by BMV in Germany. In 1959, a licence was granted for production in Brighton, where this one was built. The 1989 tax disc shows it as a tricycle and the 6 month tax was £22.00.
Bubble grows due to flux of Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide gas through the walls of the cellulose from the surrounding liquid.
