Steel Cables on the Stonehaven Harbour Boom shutter sections. One of first images I took with my new Canon 70-200mm F2.8L IS ii
Taken in October 1978.
The cable car turntable at Powell and Market Streets. An inbound car, like the one in the picture, rolls onto the turntable, which spins it around. Then it rolls onto the outbound tracks, ready to begin rumbling up Nob Hill.
San Francisco’s cable car system, mostly used by tourists, is the world’s last manually operated cable car system.
I fitted the choke cable to the carbs on the Alfa today - something that was strangely missing when I got the car. Perhaps in its former life in the warmth of South Africa, it wasn't really necessary. A fiddly job, with some filing required to get the ferrule down to size. Just missing the bolt to clamp the cable outer in place on the first carb and also the clamp on the lever on the dash (see adjacent photo). Also missing is the "hand throttle" cable.
Cable snapped while JRA...

Car 72/73 of the Upper Douglas Cable Tramway in the horse tramway carshed at Derby Castle. When the line closed in 1929, cars 72 and 73 were sold to form the basis of a bungalow in Jurby. They were retrieved in 1976, still on their bogies, and the best parts were used to restore one car - hence the different number at each end.
The car is sometimes seen operating on the horse tramway, initially propelled by landrover, although subsequently converted to battery electric operation.
There are some steep hills. The street reminded me of the scene in Inception where the world folds back on itself.
