Hunslet, Leeds, West Yorkshire. In 1888, TF Braime started his metal pressing company, and was later joined by JH Braime. After the international success of their oil can, they moved here in 1911, and as well as making parts for the motor car industry, they played an active role in both world wars, making artillery cases in the 1940's. Their factory retains many original features, and have very recently had a significant increase in orders, needing to start a night shift this September.

The Hereios asked for clocks today which meant convincing my wonderful husband to pull down his antique clock from its resting place way above my head.
What better to go with an antique than something relatively new?
This little guy is three weeks old and the runt of our litter. We're calling him Muffin for now, but truth be told he's struggling. Hopefully this will remain a sweet baby picture and not a memorial, but only time will tell. (Pun not intended.)
Tried to make it look a little like a pencil drawing without using a pencil filter. Did it work?

Edit - Muffin didn't make it. He was found on Monday, April 24th, gone some time during the night.

I wish I had more interesting clocks in my apartment. I guess that's something that I will have to invest in next. For the time being, cable box clock for the win!
The clock tower is 92m high, with the observation platform at 76m. For many years the clock tower was the tallest structure in Brisbane, and as such it was fitted with a red beacon at its apex to warn aircraft of its location.

The mechanism to produce the cuckoo call was installed in almost every kind of cuckoo clock since the middle of the eighteenth century and has remained almost without variation until the present.

Work started to investigate the clock; by gently removing one face, the mechanism has been revealed as four synchronous motors (one per face) and a very modern control mechanism, certainly far newer than the clock itself. all the control gear is by Smith of Derby, so probably the clock itself is also one of their excellent products. Fortunately, their website has also enabled details of the mechanism to be downloaded, so we can start getting it all working again.

My newly completed Adafruit Monochron kit, running the RATTChron firmware (Retro Arcade table tennis).
This is a "Before" shot, showing how the clock looked when I first bought it. I don't know what planet they found that "pendulum" on, but it certainly wasn't anywhere in the clock galaxy! Also, you can tell that one whole side of the base is missing which is why the clock is so tilted. (Also notice how dark the wood had become, most likely from fireplace soot or kitchen smoke. The clock had probably sat over someone's fireplace or kitchen stove for many years).
A different perspective -- wanted to capture it during the twilight with some light trails but reached late and ended up with this. In one way it worked well - the clutter was eliminated.

孔乙己知道“茴”的N种写法，和此前辈不同的是：我们知道一个数字的N种写法，从1到12都伪装、变形、修饰了，我们将这种做法称为“婉约”。
为什么LOG(55)是4？ 因为太Geek了。
In most commonly-used programming languages, including C, C++, SAS, MATLAB, Fortran, and BASIC, “log” or “LOG” refers to the natural logarithm.
大部分编程语言都使用LOG的写法表示以自然对数为底。

You can walk up the 212 steps to the top of the bell Tower in the Abbey.One of the 'stop off' points is to go behind the clock face.
Clock Garage has been going longer than I can remember. My 1964 RAC handbook shows them as being Hillman dealers, but what I most remember them for is being the first Opel dealer in Cornwall in the early 1970's. Later they added Vauxhall which, IIRC, they sold until the late 1990's.
The village of Summercourt used to be on the A30, but it was bypassed sometime in the 1980's. I'd imagine fuel sales would have ceased around that time.
Although Summercourt is a small village with a population of well under 1,000, its location on the A30 roughly equidistant from Truro, Newquay, and St Austell has always made it attractive for transport related activities. It's still the home of the multifranchised Dales, as well as Kessells who sell used cars. It's also the hub of two bus companies.
It will be interesting to see what the site gets redeveloped as.
