I recently acquired this 1959 Argus C3 Standard. I think I need to take a break from drawing to test it out.

I already adjusted the rangefinder (still not perfect, but much better than it was when I got it), and cleaned the viewfinder. I've had a number of C3s over the years, but I think I last shot a roll with one about two or three years ago. It's not my favorite rangefinder, not even my favorite American rangefinder - but it has its place in history and it is the progenitor of many very good behind the lens leaf shutter rangefinders, such as the Braun Paxette, Contina, Diax, Olympus Ace, et al.

The C3 was introduced in 1939, and by the mid 50s it was starting to look rather old fashioned. So for 1958 Argus gave the C3 a facelift. Most of the changes are simply intended to make the camera look more modern. Some of the changes did have a practical side though. The new, wide shutter button was not only more comfortable than the old style, but it also made selecting the B setting easier. The new lens barrel provides a built in lens shade and took standard Series V filters without the need for an adapter. The knobs and dials were redesigned to hide the screws that fastened them to the camera and in general tidy the appearance of the camera up.

In 1959 you could walk away with an Argus C3 Standard for only $39... it's true you could buy a more modern Japanese camera for the same price, and get lever wind and an integrated viewfinder - but the C3 still held the position as the cheapest interchangeable lens camera. If you wanted a camera that could take a wide angle or long lenses, the next step up was the Exa which cost $79 - it was of course an SLR though (and really worth the money too).

I've never really understood why Argus didn't give the C3 the major updates it needed. They would go off and design entirely new cameras like the C-33 or the Autronic, when they could have been updating the C3 with modern features.

It couldn't have been that hard to have developed a film advance that would have kept people from tearing the sprocket holes out of film for instance. Ciro had a quite good advance that locked the advance knob when the sprockets pulled tight - even Spartus redesigned the Spartus 35's film advance to solve the same problem. But Argus never did. It's really kind of weird.

I guess they were stuck in a position where they thought that the C3 needed to be competitive on the basis of price alone. So improvements that didn't really add any complexity to the mechanism, such as those carried out in 1958 were achievable, but things like an improved film transport or combined rangefinder/viewfinder were not.

Yes those features were on the C4, but the C4 had an entirely different character - and lacked interchangeable lenses. And when the C-44 came out it was entirely too expensive for what it offered in comparison to its competition.

One of 55 LBSCR C2 class locos build by Vulcan Foundry between 1893 and 1902. As LBSCR 438 entered service April 1893, Vulcan Foundry works number 1380. Rebuilt with C3 type boiler February 1924 as class C2X, finally withdrawn as BR 32438 December 1961. There were 15 C3 type boilers fitted with L Billington's top feed and extra dome. The top feed was eventually replaced by side feed, however the extra dome was not removed. These boilers were not allocated to specific locos but were used as pool boilers appearing on most C2Xs, a few C3s, E5Xs and E6Xs.

Of the C2s all except for 10 were built as C2Xs. All the remainder bar 3 were withdrawn prior to 1939. The three survivors were 2435 withdrawn in May 1948, 2436 was based at Three Bridges and survived until Jan 1950, and 2533 based at Newhaven and withdrawn Feb 1950. None of these three received their BR number. I can recall seeing both of these in their final days.

Hans Hersbach (ECMWF) at the Centre's annual user meeting, presenting 'News from C3S: ERA5'.

More information and presentations at Using ECMWF's Forecasts (UEF2017).

Prior to interstellar travel, humanity used to use the vastness of oceans to hide behind the retaliation of threat forces. After this, such a tactic became obsolete overnight – after all one cannot use an ocean to block an enemy invading from space.

In the Inner Sphere, most worlds are water poor – the ones that are water rich are also the most successful, and desired – water after all is the source of life. In places where water is abundant, many worlds use either hovercraft to defend their territory or the rare but unheard of use of ships – what is known as blue naval craft. In the mind of many, the need and use of water in warfare is seen as an irrelevance.

All that changed in the infamous battle for Galtor III during the Third Succession War. In the First Succession War, House Kurita took this world and its citizens lived in brutality – liberation by the Federated Suns came in 3022. However in a plan of “brilliance” the Davions tried to lure the Kuritans into invading Galtor III to route them. The plan was a disaster and extra effort was put to repel the Combine. In that process, House Davion came up with an idea to maintain its C3 network – by placing them underwater. Mobile or static, C3 posts drew fire like magnets. Underwater, very little if anything existed to stop them. Only Mechs could be lethal, and even then, most Mech weapons could not work underwater. Of course, this meant Mechs could not defend these installations, so the Galtor nation created the Neptune Submarine. This simple craft held back a lot of Kuritan advances on that world and kept the underwater C3 network from falling. However irony of irony, in the Fourth Succession War, Galtor III was won by the DCMS and the Neptunes were captured and used by them to defend that very system.

Nether the less, Hanse Davion was impressed by the Neptune’s performance, and wondered if an idea like that could be made into a Mech. A Mech dedicated to sea warfare would have advantages, and following the successful recovery of the Helm Memory Core, the details revealed showed potential. Hanse planned to get back at the Kuritans, and Galtor was one such place ripe for retribution. The Fourth Succession war was a success and Hanse was on a high.

The Corean Enterprise Plant on New Avalon was commissioned with NAIS personnel to design a Mech to do this. Many scoffed at the idea, many more saw it a waste of resource, but some saw Hanse’ thinking. If they had to retake Galtor, they had to disable said C3 network. When one owned a planet, transportation and deployment is not a problem – when one had to invade a world it can be a headache of titanic proportions. Despite its effectiveness, the Neptune is an awkward thing to transport. A Mech however can walk to the sea, go into the ocean and do what was needed.

The Sea Lion as it was called was ambitious. It had the endo steel frame and 9 tons of ferro-fibrous armour, and a more compact XL engine. It also had an XL gyro because of its aquatic dedication. The machine carried an impressive naval adapted SRM system that fired torpedoes instead. Three SRT-6s each with a ton of ammo was incorporated into it for not just taking care of any Neptune subs, but also demolition work of the underwater C3s. Backing it up were three ER medium lasers for cutting cable, hitting Neptune return fire, blasting torpedoes and to defend itself when it surfaced. Finally as a thought, the machine had a claw hand in case it had to breach these bases in desperation. The claws can scissor thick communication cable, and in a twisted vision, can grapple with Neptunes.

To help find these C3 posts, a searchlight was added, and a targeting computer was installed to compensate for wave drifts when torpedoes were fired. Finally a smaller cockpit was installed to increase the integrity of the machine when underwater.

The Sea Lion was deployed in the 3039 war and on Galtor as planned. They were deployed as standard mechs but did not meet the problems as other Davion machines faced. In combat, their agility underwater compared to the Neptunes was staggering. The Neptunes has LRTs but the Sea Lions were more resilient to the assault. Hitting back with ER lasers were a shock to the crews, and worse, the Neptunes were nowhere as maneuverable as the Sea Lions. The Mechs could close in and smash them with SRTs, or in some cases used their claws with nightmarish effect. The Sea Lions managed to destroy a lot of undersea C3 units and cables – alas word had got out about their existence, and a rethink was made. The Kuritans used remaining Neptunes to lure the Sea Lions into a part of water that started to get shallow. As they surfaced, they met proper Mechs. With only three lasers as effective armament, the Sea Lions had no chance. Most were destroyed.

Despite the success, the Sea Lion ceased production – the glaring weakness sent a shudder into even Hanse’s heart, as well as the routing of 3039. When the Clan invasion took place, the Sea Lion was abandoned.

However the idea of a sea Mech is gaining a renaissance, especially with a known experimental machine called the Spindrift made by Bowie industries, similar technology being looked into by Clans, and rumours of a super sea based mech somewhere on the world of Skye….

Royal Air Force, 30 Squadron, Lockheed C130J C5 Hercules ZH881 (cn 382-5479) landing at Brize Norton 27/2/14.

The RAF has a total of 25 C-130J C4/C5 aircraft. The C4 is almost the same size as the current C3 aircraft, but with a slightly shorter fuselage, while the C5 is the same size as the C1. The C-130J has been modified and upgraded to include new Allison AE turboprop engines and Dowty Aerospace six-bladed composite propellers. The new engines and advanced propellers, coupled with a new digital engine-control system, give the C-130J increased take-off thrust and better fuel efficiency; thus the external fuel tanks have been omitted. The aircraft also has a revised flight deck with modern glass-cockpit and head-up displays, allowing two-pilot, flight deck operation. The cockpit of the aircraft is fully night-vision compatible with the use of night-vision goggles. A separate air loadmaster station has been established in the cargo hold. The aircraft has been cleared for wider use in the tactical TS role and is used for operational missions involving parachute ops and air despatch.The defensive-aids suite includes a missile warning system linked to the directional, infrared countermeasure system, a radar warning receiver and a chaff and flare dispensing system. The defensive system helps protect the aircraft against surface-to-air and air-to-air infrared seeking weapons that may be encountered during operations.

Externally, the C4 and C5 versions of the Hercules are almost identical to the existing C1s and C3s currently in service. On the newer aircraft however, the refuelling probe (when fitted) is mounted on the left-hand side of the aircraft above the cockpit. The new engines also have six-bladed propellers as opposed to four on the older aircraft and the new aircraft do not have the external under-wing fuel tanks fitted to the C1 and C3. The C4 version has two 'plugs' inserted into the fuselage to extend it by some 15ft (4.58m) longer than the C5.

Classic Film and Games night. Today, we diverged from watching movies and delved into gaming.

James and Keith (pictured), hosted the presentation and talked about Street Fighter and the cultural impact it had back in the 90s. Once the presentation was out of the way, the C3s and C4s had a tournament to determine who was the best Street Fighter of them all.

Cat in the laptop: I know apples have something to say though there wasn't "too much apples" here.

Laptop: Should be too many but I think you were referring to a searched phrase.

Small apple #1: Oh is that why we were brought to this fruit bowl?

Small apple #2: From the kitchen top.

Small apple #3: Where the cook would look at us and we would look back at her, wondering when she would do the cut and serve.

T. G. Pear #1: Didn't know there are apples as small as us!

T. G. Pear #2: Kind of cute.

T. G. Pear #3: Are you sweet too?

Small apple #1: No. A bit sour but no grape.

Small apple #2: Though not soft, not crunchy too.

Small apple #3: But homegrown!

Trees outside: In the backyard.

Spider Plant: What about the bigger apple?

Rose Apple: Me? The cook bought me from a store. $2.49/kg. I have a nice fragrance. I should be crunchy base on the sound of the knock of the cook's finger against me. T.G. Pears from the same store are really cheap today. 0.95ct/kg.

Small apple #1: Although the cook did not buy us

Small apple #2: Pluck us from the apple tree

Small apple #3: The amount of mulch, fertiliser, compost, extra ingredients bought to feed our tree might have cost more than 0.95/kg.

Reading Glasses: So the cook wanted to show the background team how small and perhaps not so tasteful and not economical her homegrown apples are? To become self sufficient is not easy. But don't we have so many other news in the world more important to tell?

Noodles: Train accident from the country where I am from? Why would there be a no one was in truck on the track? WHY!?!

Laptop: And the hit finished more than 50.

Noodles Dish: By the way, wasn't me that wanted to say that the noodles texture was good. But the cook wanted me to say.

Walkman: Sounds like the cook isn't going anywhere.

Wall: That's me. Why do you say so?

Walkman: Well. Tell me if she is going to visit ex-neighbor from B street but at his town? It is a long weekend.

Wallet: No. I have not heard. But she can use the monthly pass to reach his zone and walk.

Spider Plant: Have you all checked whether he is going to appear to meet the cook? If she goes there?

Reading Glasses: Days gone. Bus stored. Sounds like she will make a wasted trip even if she goes. These phrases were sent hours before we started the discussion. It means there is no plan to meet the cook in any way this long weekend.

Wallet: Though if she really goes there, she will buy more yummy food back. I know the cook.

Glass of Water: So we are still going to talk about food?

Cat in the Laptop: News in the world or this country, too difficult. No progress. Or one bad news after another. Even when there will be changes, it will take time to see the result.

Noodles Dish: I am a second life in picture world term? Or leftover in the real world black pepper chicken dish cooked by the chef from Chu m2e2z . That day, which is 2 days ago when the cook was having portion of me with rice, 4 perhaps late 20s or 30s men were talking about housing crisis and recent changes. The cook couldn't hear them clearly to know who is pro changes or who disagrees and don't know if anyone of them own a house.

Wall: Sounds like nothing is heard.

Reading Glasses: Although it means those issues matter to those who discussed it.

Wallet: Yep. I heard that too. For price to drop, now that those budget tight investors are most likely not in the competition, the first home buyers need to stay with a cool mind and not give the seller if the seller has over-priced the house. But of course how much a house is worth, is all up to the buyer and also depends how desperate the buyer is. The cook wasn't a desperate buyer, so for two houses that she made an offer for, she did not increase the offer when asked if she would like to as there were other buyers who had increased their offer. She offered her best offer right in the beginning and that's it. She was grateful that the seller of this house, kind of did the same style by explicitly state how much she wanted the house for.

Trees outside: And because there were so many of us,

Wall: And with two round trees in front that attracted her to this house,

Table: And whatever she was looking for to be installed in a house are already here, wasn't me by the way, and by the way I said wasn't me wasn't because I have not moved on from those days when wasn't me troubled the cook anyway as everyone can see us but not the cook, we are still alright and discussing - what a long sentence! I didn't plan to say so much!

Wallet: Anyway, so she increased her budget and gave what the seller wanted. She did not make an offer that was less than what the seller explicitly asked for.

Reading Glasses: If only things are all so direct, no second or third guesses/attempts, there would not be so much drama in the real world!

Wall: Are you hinting something to the picture world background team?

(Everyone went quiet.)

Wall: Well, even if I don't explicitly ask the question, perhaps they might wonder about that too.

Laptop: Like when C3s@r Mill@n said people don't move on, things happened years ago, still bothered about it. Not the exact words. He wasn't talking to the cook, but the cook thought, "Wasn't that me? I was bothered by wasn't me. Even years later, after finding out Mr. Cannot Be Vam pire did not dishonestly said wasn't me."

Cellphone: And so she didn't cross the street on that day when she stared at ex-neighbor at B street, and don't ask me to say how many times she did not do what she thought she would do when she saw ex-neighbor from B street.

Wallet: Or perhaps she should ask the owner of the cute dog? whom appeared walking past when she exited out of the office building 3 days ago.

Cat in the Laptop: What question could she ask? Your cute dog is as cute as me? Although I still won't go for a walk with my owner in the rain, like his dog did with him on last Tuesday.

(No one has an answer.)

Noodles Dish: Even though there is no fish in this dish, it does not mean the cook is not planning to walk to the nearby fish & chips shop later to get fish, of course. Who wants to remind her about the sad stories about fish?

The Stearman C3 was an American-built civil biplane aircraft of the 1920s, designed by Stearman Aircraft of Wichita, Kansas. It was also the first Stearman aircraft to receive a type certificate.

The C3 was a rugged biplane with simple straight wings, a tough undercarriage with oleo shock absorbers and two open cockpits with the pilot in the rear and two side-by-side passenger seats in the front. In fact, it was a slightly modified version of the earlier model C2 aircraft. Changes included an increased volume oil tank and larger sized baggage compartment.[citation needed]

Introduced in 1928, the C3 was powered by a variety of engines of between 128 hp and 225 hp, each version having its own designation.[1] The last version of the C3 was the C3R which had several external differences including a cutout in the aft portion of the wing center section for improved pilot visibility, a headrest in the aft cockpit, and slightly increased chord of the rudder and vertical stabilizer.[citation needed]

Although there were several versions of the C3, most were either the C3B and the C3R. A few C3s were approved for float operations

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

The Corvette has always been offered with a myriad of engine options and performance packages, and in the years leading up to the fuel crisis, engines continued to get bigger and more powerful. As always, you could order a Corvette to suit your needs. And if you really knew what you wanted, you could order something so special that many of the dealers didn't even know about it. What was the case with this Corvette.

Purchased new by Anatoly "Toly" Arutunoff, he was someone you definitely knew what he wanted. The Tulsa, Oklahoma based road racer bought and imported numerous fabulous Ferraris, Lancias, Abarths, and Alfa Romeos to race in many of the most famous events worldwide. This car was purchased through the Broken Arrow, Oklahoma dealer for use in the 1971 Targa Florio. Given the need for racing pedigree, Toly ticked the box for the 'ZR2' package. The $1,747 package—equivalent to 30+% of the base price of the Corvette—was specifically created for those wishing to race. The extensive package added a number of features including the most powerful engine available—the conservatively rated 425bhp big block LS6, a Muncie M22 "Rock Crusher" manual transmission, heavy duty power disc brakes and battery, and special suspension with upgraded springs, shocked and stabilizer bars. What it specifically didn't come with was just as important, getting rid of the power windows and steering, rear defroster, radio, alarm system, wheel covers, and air conditioning—all in the name of weight savings. While 188 '71 Corvettes were optioned with the LS6 motor, only 12 buyers ponied up for the ZR2 package—10 on roadsters and two on coupes. According to the original Corvette Order Copy (tank sticker) on file, this car was ordered on March 2, 1971 in Classic White over black vinyl with the ZR2 package at the top and the noted inclusion as part of that package running down the rest of the sheet.

With his new car on order and plans for the Targa Florio set, lined up Englishman Charles Lucas (who built Titan Formula race cars) to co-drive. Knowing his exploits in the best racing machines Italy had to offer, Charles was surprised when he turned up to find a rip-snorting Yank Tank as his ride for the event. Alas, the opportunity to compete was fleeting—recent updates to the rules meant a roll bar was required and the lack of one in the 'Vette caused it to fail pre-race scrutineering. No longer eligible for the event, Toly cut his losses and sold the car to Mr. Lucas right there. As it turns out, the Vette wouldn't have made it far—it blew a head gasket in southern Italy on the way to the UK. Limping home, the car received UK registration number BFL 702K on August 6, 1971. Lucas sold the car to John Perry in 1973. Perry would sell the car to City Motors in Newark-on-Trent from which Malcolm "Mal" Bishop in Sheffield would purchase it for £2400 on December 17, 1975.

A classic car dealer by trade, Mal kept the car until 1977 when he received an offer he couldn't refuse from Donald Sims, a deep-sea diver from Leicestershire. Sims would own the car for a decade until his growing family would require him to let it go. Regretting having sold the car to begin with, Malcolm Bishop had been trying to buy the car back and his opportunity finally came in April of 1987.

A diligent and caring custodian, Mal wrote to all of the previous owners to get first hand reports of their time with the car—each of which included numerous memories of its raw power and speed. A file of invoices speaks to the regular service the car received. After Mal's passing, the car was shown at the Corvette Club UK's 'Corvettes at the Lakes' show last year where it won Judge's Choice for 1968-72 C3s.

A rare opportunity to acquire one of the few built and fewer surviving ZR2s, this one is unique in its fabulously documented European and British history, original tank sticker, and original Targa Florio sticker on the windscreen. With only two owners since 1975, this rip snorting machine is ready to burn rubber with its next, lucky owner.

This year I was able to escape the snow and join Fred in Scottsdale for sunshine, cars, and music! I also drove down to Tucson to meet Doug for lunch and spend a nice evening visting with Richard and Lola.
