My Ballot Box was fit to bursting this year. Somehow we managed to squeeze 998 votes in their.
It made me smile that in the age of ipods and Twitter the running of our Country is determined by pieces of paper marked with a cross and pushed into a box. And yes, thats a special ballot paper compactor tool especially for the job.
You see, there are always entrepreneuring opportunities for those who can see them :)
The compact dimensions of the Crompton Type 3 are seen to good effect in this broadside view of 33030 running light engine through Crewe station in between Cardiff passenger turns. The date was 8th April 1982.
Spotted for sale in Mt. Airy, MD. I've never seen one before in person, so this was quite a find for me.
Our crews are out getting SR 203 back in working order! Check out this roller, compacting the asphalt and smoothing it out. They are moving quick considering yesterday they had the entire lane torn up!
The French icon of the 23rd century: the mass-selling recreation of the original Turbochat in the 2150s. Like the original, it has been designed to look like a cat. Highly modifiable, though very popular in France (especially among the trendy) it's world-famous.
Built four months ago. Sorry for crappy photography. The car is complicated inside and I didn't feel like rebuilding it and retaking the photos with my new camera.
Compact motorisé autofocus. Objectif 35mm 1:2.8. Flash électronique intégré. Très compact et dispose d'une très bonne exposition ce qui m'a permis de faire beaucoup de diapositives lors de randonnées en montagne.

The Olympus µ[mju:]-II was an award-winning 35mm compact camera issued by Olympus in 1997. Its small splashproof body, accurate autofocus, fast and sharp prime lens, and integrated auto-flash, led to it becoming something of a modern classic. It was originally available in black or silver. Around 3.8 million examples were sold.
I have to admit that last time i really don't know how to take this little cute guy.Now hopefully it is better.Shot this at Mabul house reef under Seaventures rig.Inon D2000 + Inon M165.
another 0.6 pistol. i've decided that the only thing i can do in 0.6 is pistols, none of my rifles come out very good.
Made in France ... nicht China oder eine andere fernöstliche Herkunft, wie man vielleicht – vorurteilsbeladen – beim Anblick solcher Plastik-Geräte denkt. Porst ließ sich diese Kassettenkamera Ende der 1970er in Frankreich fertigen, das Original hieß Fex Indo 126 EL compact.
Erstaunlich ist die sehr ordentliche Verarbeitung: nichts scheppert oder quietscht oder passt nicht. Die Rückwand z. B. rastet ohne das geringste Spiel ein, auch der Transporthebel wackelt nicht im geringsten. Der Auslöser funktioniert fast wie die Sensor-Taste von Agfa: Bei moderatem Fingerdruck wird (offensichtlich durch Federdruck) der Verschluss betätigt.
Vergessen sollte man aber die fingierten Belichtungsmesser-Zellen, die ebenso wie die "Serien-Nummer" des Objektivs eine höhere Klasse vortäuschen sollen. Auch der Blitzschuh wirkt wie nachträglich aufgesetzt, an dieser Stelle war bei einem Schwestermodell ein Blitzwürfel-Sockel.
Das Fixfokus-Objektiv hat die Lichtstärke 8 und eine Brennweite von 45 mm. Die Bedienungsanleitung sagt dazu: Mit dem Schnappschußobjektiv Ihrer Kamera gelingen scharfe Aufnahmen von 1,5 m bis unendlich. Die besten Aufnahmen werden im Schnappschußbereich (1,5–3 m) gemacht. Dafür ist Ihre Kamera speziell eingerichtet.
Die Belichtungseinstellungen sind überraschend vielfältig, zumindest für diese Art Aufnahmegerät: "Sonne" bedeutet 1/150 s und Blende 11, "Wolke" stellt 1/100 u. Blende 8 ein und "Blitz" lässt es bei Blende 8, aber mit 1/50 s.
Der Preis des Sets (Kamera, Schlaufe, Film) war 49,- DM im Jahr 1979.
Zum Abschluss der Begrüßungstext der Bedienungsanleitung:
Sie haben eine Kassetten-Kamera gekauft, mit der Sie ganz einfach gute Bilder machen können. Die Kamera ist so klein, daß sie nicht nur in jede Tasche paßt, sondern auch im vollsten Handschuhfach noch Platz findet. Sie sind also in jeder Situation schußbereit und man wird Ihre Schnappschüsse bewundern.
Da lassen wir uns doch gerne bewundern. ;-)
I saw this little Superior Pak self contained hook lift compactor at the local shopping centre of the western suburb of Belbowrie. I reckon its an auger type, but not fully sure. Can't remember who owned it, but it was either TPI or Sita.
Here we have it, one of the most iconic little cars in the whole of history. A machine that revolutionised the concept of the city car, and what has now become a pure symbol of Englishness!
This little machine is simply known as the Mini! :D
Construction of the Mini first began in 1959, with the car designed by the British Motor Corporation's (BMC) chief designer Sir Alec Issigonis, who envisaged a car that had as much space as was humanly possible devoted to the passenger so as to combine the practicality of a big car with the nippy nature of a Dune Buggy. The result was that 80% of the car's platform was available for use by both passengers and luggage. The car was also designed to be fuel efficient, built in response to the 1956 Suez Crisis which resulted in rising fuel prices and petrol rationing. During this period it became apparent that German 'Bubble Car' equivalents such as the Heinkel Kabine and various Messerschmitt designs were starting to corner the market, and thus the Mini project was launched under project name ADO15 (Amalgamated Drawing Office project number 15). Great care was taken to make sure that as much space was saved for the passenger, including the instalment of compact rubber springs instead of conventional metal and the small but powerful BMC A-Series four-cylinder engine tucked away at the front.
In April 1959 the car was launched to the press under the designation of both the Austin Seven and the Morris Mini-Minor (due to the amalgamation of the Austin and Morris brands under BMC). By the time the car was let loose thousands had already been sent abroad in an audacious promotional campaign. Things however started slow for the Mini, but this rising star soon became an icon during the 1960's, selling 1,190,000 by 1967.
But, behind all the shining sales figures, there were some major problems for BMC and their wonderchild. Baffled by the car, Ford bought one for the base price of £497 and took it apart, desperate to know how their rivals were doing it for the money. As it turns out they weren't, and were able to determine that BMC was losing at least £30 on every single car they sold. Novelty was the only way to get the car properly moving in this competitive new world, and the Mini was all about that. By 1970 the car had appeared in a variety of movies and TV shows, the most famous of which was their charge to glory in the 1969 film 'The Italian Job', where a trio of Minis were used to plunder gold from under the noses of the Mafia and the Italian Authorities. A Leyland Mini holds a place in the heart of British TV under the ownership of Mr. Bean and his various clumsy antics, usually involving an unfortunate Reliant Regal. At the same time it was a car of choice for TV and Music Stars who wanted to show off their quirks!
From then on the car continued to keep up its notorious status as a British symbol of motoring, with a huge variety of cars being made including a spacious van, a country camper, a pickup truck and the Moke dune buggy! There were also two almost identical saloon versions of the car known as the Wolseley Hornet and the Riley Elf that were built between 1961 and 1969 as more luxurious alternatives to the original.
In 1969 the first major facelift came in the form of the Clubman, designed under British Leyland to give the car a new lease of life, but ended up being something of a mongrel. Although functionally the same, the boys at British Leyland couldn't help but get things off to a bad start by relocating construction from the Cowley Plant to the Longbridge Plant, which meant that all kits and tools had to be moved too and thus initial sales were very slow. British Leyland's reliability reputation was soon to follow, with the unfortunate Mini becoming a victim of the shoddy workmanship that had mired so many of its other products.
Eventually the Clubman was killed off in 1980, although the original Mini design had been built alongside and was still selling strong. British Leyland however had plans to kill off the Mini in 1980 by introducing its new small economy car, the Austin Metro. Built very much to the same principals of the Mini, the Metro was a much more angular design but still a capable little family hatchback. But the angular lines and big bulky body did nothing for the Metro, and the car failed to sell in the numbers domestically than those of the Mini internationally!
Towards the end of the 1980's and 1990's, the car came in a variety of different 'Special Editions' as the car became less of a mass-market machine and more a fashion item. The iconic nature of the car had sealed its fate with new owners of the Rover Group, BMW, who intended to keep the car going for as long as possible. At the same time the car was a major seller in Japan, which gave a boost of sales in the early 1990's with 40,000 new cars being exported there.
Eventually however, the design was starting to look very tired and with Rover Group making heavy losses, the Mini and its spiritual cousin the Metro were killed off in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Rover was granted the ability to run-out the model to the very end before Rover itself was sold off in 2000. During the breakup, BMW designed a new version of the Mini which was launched in 2000 and is still being built today as quite a sleek and popular machine, a little bit more bulky than the original but certainly keeping the novelty and charm. The originals however ended on the 4th October 2000, with a red Mini Cooper S bringing an end to 5,387,862 cars.
However, although the original Mini is now very much dead, the novelty that surrounds these tiny little cars is enough to keep thousands and thousands of these machines preserved or in continual everyday usage. Older Mini-Minors are a bit hard to come by and the Clubmans rusted away before you could get them home from the showroom, but the later Mini's sold in the 1980's and 1990's are still alive and kicking on the roads of Britain, and can still draw the attention of passers by even 56 years after the first ones left the production line!

Great British Car Journey Museum
An interactive journey celebrating an era when British entrepreneurs and engineers were at the forefront of a transport revolution.
Herbert Austin and William Morris were the leaders of that revolution. They put the working population behind the wheel and gave us the freedom of mobility which we now take for granted.
This is the story of British industry which, in its heyday, was a worldwide force with products that were exported to all corners of the world. The story of a bygone era when, for half a century, British cars "ruled the road".
The journey starts in the early 1920s when the working family could only dream of owning a car and ends in the early years of the new millennium when most of Britain's great car factories fall silent.
The museum features over 140 British Classic cars, from the legendary Austin 7 to the magnificent Mini.
Many of these cars are now incredibly rare, and the museum searched for several years for superb examples to display.

BMW added a truncated three door hatchback of the E36 in 1994. This one is powered by the 1596 cc engine. Supplied by local dealer Chandlers or Hailsham and looks like to be still wearing its original dealer number plates.
Taken at 1:2 magnification on a full-frame sensor with 100mm macro lens. This is a gadget for opening new CD jewel cases. You slide the edge of the case along the flat edge of the gadget. This depresses the plastic tab at left, which seesaws the metal blade upward, slicing through the plastic wrapping. How long before this gadget goes the way of the dinosaurs? How long will there be jewel cases to open?

Even though I bought myself a new compact camera to help make it easier to take my daily photograph, this strategy only works if you actually go outside during the day and don't stay put writing mindmaps and draft reports...
Hopefully the next few days will see me being able to give my compact camera a bit of a workout.
