This is the "pusher" half the the RUWI component system. It is a plywood panel approximately 1-inch thick with a handle and rubberized gasketing applied to the front edge, and an adjustable mechanism for setting the angle of the panel and securing it to the sliding table. Unlike a Fritz & Franz design, this component pivots which I consider a disadvantage.
To play a graphics intensive pc game nowadays, it is very important to get a proper review of the pc gaming components before buying a rig as it can properly give an idea of how the performance or the gameplay will be. In addition entertainment articles are also a very good source of knowledge regarding the current trends in hardware configuration and optimization.
This alternate pusher component is designed to secure to the sliding table with a lever actuated clamping post. The bumper component has the same rubberized gasketing material along one edge to help secure stock wedged between the two plywood components that make up the system. Also shown in this photo is an alternate plywood "bumper" component.

Nashville Pussy in France interview & live shoot by Back'n'roll
backnroll.com/fr/component/k2/item/123-nashville-pussy.html
True rock n' roll doesn't require definition. It's self-explanatory based on a gut feeling and the unconditional devotion to the musical genre. Nashville Pussy have celebrated their brand of genuine rock n' roll for more than a decade, in classic style at times, surprising at others, but always earthy, raw and unadulterated. Band mastermind Blaine Cartwright (vocals, guitar), his wife Ruyter Suys (guitar), Karen Cuda (bass) and Jeremy Thompson (drums) poured their heart and soul into the latest rock release, entitled From Hell To Texas, which saw the band hone their most impressive recording to date alongside the non stop touring, from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Japan, and almost a year straight with the Reverend Horton Heat, "We allowed ourselves this time to give the songs the chance to turn out as perfect as possible," Cartwright explains. "We kept playing the new tracks at our rehearsal room until they really clicked. I feel they're heavier and grittier than previous releases. The whole creative process took three long years, but the result has been worth the trouble."
Their songs are mostly about fun and good times, but occasionally – as in the case of 'Late Great USA' – they also stick the finger into an open wound. "Although Blaine's comical and satyrical themes mostly prevail on From Hell To Texas, there are two or three numbers which deal with more serious subjects. 'Late Great USA' is a political song, we simply had to vent our anger at certain grievances in this country."

Yashinon-DX 50mm 1.7, presented as a breakdown of its main component assemblies.
Disassembly procedure reads from top left to bottom right.
From here it's easy to work out the rest given some experience with lenses.
The optical assembly (top right) drops into the lens housing/focus assembly, located by the circular brass key into the groove of the inner helicoid - both seen pictured. The 2 brass shims pictured beside the optical assy. are selected for fine focus adjustment; their thickness determines the stack height of the optical assembly on its seat (and therefore its minimum focal distance from the film plane at infinity), whilst the retaining ring (2nd top left) secures it all in place. The helicoid itself has hard stops preset by a machined groove in the brass carriage engaging a set screw - and cannot be adjusted.
From this point, the front and rear lens groups can be removed from the optical barrel, which houses the aperture blades in the centre.
The rear lens group unscrews accordingly.
The front lens group unscrews from the barrel accordingly.
Disassembly of the front lens group for cleaning, after the group has been removed from the barrel, requires removing the front element and is difficult at first due to the adhesive used and the awkward topology of the assembly.
The element is secured in the optical group body by the conical shroud which doubles as its retaining ring. The threads of the conical ring are recessed deep at its base. There is a small gap between the outside of this conical ring and the front lip of the optical group body from which it protrudes - because of the proximity of these walls, the surface tension of liquid solvent will prevent it from migrating into the gap sufficiently; it was necessary to use a syringe with a needle to get acetone down into this gap to the location of the threads - after which unscrewing of the shroud/retainer was possible. It takes a bit of time and patience.
The lens housing/focus mechanism, helicoid assembly and rear aperture selection assembly are separated and accessible by the sequence shown on the bottom row, from left to right.
The focus grip ring is secured by 3 screws accessed from the front of the lens, beneath the location of the front name plate/filter thread ring.
After which, there are 3 grub screws accessible holding the sleeve with the focus scale to the helicoid carriage and another 3 tiny grub screws holding the sleeve with focus/aperture indicator to the body. These screws are not tight but threadlocked and need only be loosened (after solvent) to remove the sleeves. Once these sleeves are removed, there are 3 larger countersunk screws visible which attach the rear flange/aperture selection assy. to the helicoid assy.; shown bottom right.
Disassembly of the helicoid for servicing requires removing the 2 brass keys locating the inner helicoid section to the fixed body, the inner section can then be unscrewed from the brass helicoid carriage. Removing the hard-stop set screw on the fixed body allows the brass helicoid carriage to then be unscrewed fully and separated from the fixed body.
It's necessary to count the turns of the helicoid rings to off for their correct re-assembly - but as the focus is set by the shim stack on the optical barrel and the helicoid rings are mechanically located with keyways, there's no precise alignment to set, making it relatively easy to service/rebuild.
Upon re-assembly, the aperture fork on the optical barrel assembly engages the aperture selection assy. between the aperture selection cam rocker and the sprung follower lever (connected to the aperture stop-down pin that sticks out the back of the flange).
It's easier if you set the aperture control to 'A' (auto-mode) and f16, making sure the sprung follower lever is fully disengaged (pin fully stuck out flange), as this opens up the gap between the follower lever and cam rocker nice and wide for the aperture fork to slot into.
...if you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about - its the bit located at about 4 o'clock on the aperture assy. pictured - there's no gap as I have it configured in the picture @ f1.7, making assembly difficult; doing the above ('A' mode, f16) opens up a gap here for the fork to drop into.
Have fun!

This exhibit uses very few original T-26 components. The hull is from a Polish C7P tracked artillery tractor, which was most probably used by German troops on the Eastern front in 1942. It was recovered near Volgograd by the 'Ekipazh' search party in 2004. Suitably modified, it was fitted with the turret from a BT-5/BT-7 m1935 turret. The rear idler wheel comes from a BMP-1. It represents a radio tank, hence the aerial around the turret.

The M42 40 mm Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun, or Duster; is an American armored light air-defense gun built for the United States Army from 1952 until December 1960, in service until 1988. Production of this vehicle was performed by the tank division of the General Motors Corporation. It used components from the M41 light tank and was constructed of all-welded steel.
A total of 3,700 M42s were built. The vehicle has a crew of six and weighs 49,500 lbs fully loaded. Maximum speed is 45 mph with a range of 100 miles. Armament consists of fully automatic twin 40 mm M2A1 Bofors, with a rate of fire of 2×120 rounds per minute enabling nearly 85 seconds of fire time before running out of ammo, and either a .30 caliber Browning M1919A4 or 7.62mm M60 machine gun.
Initially, the 40 mm guns were aimed with the assistance of a radar fire control system housed in a secondary vehicle of similar design but this idea was scrapped as development costs mounted.
The 500 hp, six-cylinder, Continental (or Lycoming Engines), air-cooled, gasoline engine is located in the rear of the vehicle. It was driven by a cross-drive, two-speed Allison transmission.
Although the M42 Duster was initially designed for an anti-aircraft role, it proved to be effective against unarmored ground forces in the Vietnam war.
Production of the M42 began in early 1952 at GM's Cleveland Tank Plant. It entered service in late 1953 and replaced a variety of different anti-aircraft systems in armored divisions. In 1956, the M42 received a new engine and other upgrades along with other M41 based vehicles, becoming the M42A1. Production was halted in December 1960 with 3,700 examples made during its production run.
Sometime in the late 50s, the U.S. Army reached the conclusion that anti-aircraft guns were no longer viable in the jet age and began fielding a self-propelled version of the HAWK SAM instead. Accordingly, the M42 was retired from front line service and passed to the National Guard with the last M42s leaving the regular Army by 1963, except for the 4th Battalion, 517th Air Defense Artillery Regiment in the Panama Canal Zone, which operated two batteries of M42s into the 1970s.
The HAWK missile system performed poorly in low altitude defense. To ensure some low altitude anti-aircraft capability for the ever-increasing amount of forces fielded in South Vietnam, the Army began recalling M42A1s back into active service and organizing them into air defense artillery (ADA) battalions. Starting in the fall of 1966, the U.S. Army deployed three battalions of Dusters to South Vietnam, each battalion consisting of a headquarters battery and four Duster batteries, each augmented by one attached Quad-50 battery and an artillery searchlight battery.
Despite a few early air kills, the air threat posed by North Vietnam never materialized and ADA crews found themselves increasingly involved in ground support missions. Most often the M42 was on point security, convoy escort, or perimeter defense. The Duster; (as it was called by U.S. troops in Vietnam) was soon found to excel in ground support. The 40 mm guns proved to be effective against massed infantry attacks. According to an article that appeared in Vietnam Magazine:
M42s were old pieces of equipment that needed a lot of maintenance and required hard-to-get spare parts. The gasoline-powered Dusters were particularly susceptible to fires in the engine compartment. Thus, despite its cross country capability, it was not wise to use the Duster in extended search and destroy operations in heavy jungle terrain because of excessive wear on engines, transmissions, and suspensions.
On the plus side, the Duster was essentially a fairly simple piece of machinery on which the crews could perform maintenance. Better yet, the Duster's high ground clearance and excellent suspension-system design gave it an ability to withstand land mine explosions with minimal crew casualties.
Although the Duster's 40mm shell had a terrific blast and fragmentation effect, it also had a highly sensitive point-detonating fuse that limited effectiveness in heavy vegetation. Under those conditions, the better weapon was the Quad, because the heavy .50-caliber projectile could easily punch through cover that would detonate the Duster's 40mm shell too early for it to be effective. At long ranges, however the 40mm shell was far more useful, particularly against field formations. The Duster also was able to deliver indirect fires by using data from field artillery fire-directions centers.
Soldiers of the 1-44th Artillery and their Marine counterparts in I Corps set the pattern of Quad and Duster operations. Because of an early scarcity of armored-combat vehicles, M42s were first used as armor. Often thankful men quickly learned the value of high volumes of 40mm and .50-caliber fire, both in the field and perimeter defenses. Quads beefed up the defenses of remote fire bases, while Dusters accompanied both supply and tactical convoys along contested highways to break up ambushes. Dusters of Battery C, 1-44th Artillery, led the task force of Operations Pegasus that broke the siege of Khe Sanh in April 1968. Dusters and Quads provided critical final-protective fires throughout Vietnam during the Tet offensive and later took part in Operation Lam Son 719. Whenever fire support was needed, M42s could be found.
Most of the Duster crew members had their AIT training in the 1st Advanced Individual Training Brigade (Air Defense) at Fort Bliss, Texas. Some of the Duster NCOs had received training at the Non Commissioned Officers Candidate School which was also held at Fort Bliss, Texas.
The 1st Battalion, 44th Artillery was the first ADA battalion to arrive in South Vietnam on November 1966. A self-propelled M42A1 Duster unit, the 1-44th supported the Marines at places like Con Thien and Khe Sanh Combat Base as well as Army divisions in South Vietnam's rugged I Corps region. The battalion was assigned to I Field Force, Vietnam and was located at Đông Hà. In 1968 it was attached to the 108th Artillery Group (Field Artillery). Attached to the 1-44th was G Battery 65th Air Defense Artillery equipped with Quad-50s and G Battery 29th Artillery Searchlights. The 1-44th served alongside the 3rd Marine Division along the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in I Corps thru December 1971. Sergeant Mitchell W. Stout, a member of C Battery, 1-44th Artillery was awarded the Medal of Honor.
The second Duster battalion to arrive in Vietnam was the 5th Battalion, 2nd Air Defense Artillery. Activated in June 1966 it arrived in Vietnam in November 1966 and was diverted to III Corps, II Field Force, Vietnam and set up around Bien Hoa Air Base. Attached units were D Battery71st Air Defense Artillery equipped with Quad-50s and I Battery, 29th Artillery Searchlights. The Second First; served the southern Saigon region through mid 1971. D-71st Quads remained active through March 1972.
The third Duster battalion to arrive was the 4th Battalion, 60th Air Defense Artillery. Activated in June 1966 it arrived in Vietnam in June 1967 and set up operations in the Central Highlands, based out of An Khê (1967–70) and later Tuy Hoa (1970-71). Attached units were E Battery 41st Artillery equipped with Quad-50s and B Battery, 29th Artillery Searchlights (which were already in country since October 1965). Members of these units not only covered the entire Central Highlands, but also supported firebases and operations along the DMZ to the north and Saigon to the south.
Each Duster Battalion had four line batteries (A, B, C, D) and a headquarters battery. Each battery had two platoons (1st, 2nd), which contained four sections each with a pair of M42A1 Dusters. At full deployment there were roughly 200 M42 Dusters under command throughout the entire war. The Duster and Quads largely operated in pairs at firebases, strong points, and in support of engineers building roads and transportation groups protecting convoys. At night they protected the firebases from attack and were often the first targets of enemy sappers, rockets, and mortars. Searchlight jeeps operated singly but often in support of a Duster or Quad section at a firebase.
Between the three Duster battalions and the attached Quad-50 and Searchlight batteries over 200 fatalities were recorded.
The three M42A1 equipped ADA battalions (1-44th, 4-60th and 5-2d) deactivated and left Vietnam in late December 1971. Most if not all of the in-country Dusters were turned over to ARVN forces. Most of the training Dusters at Fort Bliss were returned to various National Guard units. The U.S. Army maintained multiple National Guard M42 battalions as a corps-level ADA asset. 2nd Battalion, 263 ADA, headquartered in Anderson, SC was the last unit to operate the M42 when the system was retired in 1988.

Electron Memories is an idea that represents my Jewelry and accessories made from recycled electronic components. Memories Electron was born by combining my passion for technology, art and the need to live in a less polluted world. I started taking apart old electronics components that are no longer used or thrown in the street that pollute the soil and underground water.
Researched and dabbled on current trends in jewelry and accessories, it began to emerge creatures and objects of art. So, recycling and combining these old electronics devices where electrons circulates before are now only memories of his travels at the speed of light, these gems were born.
Electron Memories es la idea que representa a mis Joyas y accesorios hechos con componentes electrónicos reciclados. Electron Memories nació combinando la pasión por la tecnología, el arte y la necesidad de vivir en un mundo menos contaminado. Comencé desarmando viejos aparatos electrónicos que ya no usaba o que encontraba en la calle e iban a contaminar la tierra y el agua enterrados como relleno. Reconecté mi pasado artístico de maquetista y se despertó nuevamente el artista que estaba hibernando hasta esta primavera de colores y formas característicos de los variopintos componentes electrónicos.
Investigué e incursioné sobre las tendencias actuales en joyas y accesorios y empezaron a surgir criaturas y objetos de arte.
Así reciclando, combinando y resignificando estos antiguos artilugios de la electrónica por donde antes circulaban electrones y hoy sólo quedan los recuerdos de sus viajes a la velocidad de la luz, nacieron estas joyas. Hernan Bressan.

The Space Shuttle orbiter is the spaceplane component of the Space Shuttle, a partially reusable orbital spacecraft system that was part of the discontinued Space Shuttle program. Operated from 1977 to 2011 by NASA, the U.S. space agency, this vehicle could carry astronauts and payloads into low Earth orbit, perform in-space operations, then re-enter the atmosphere and land as a glider, returning its crew and any on-board payload to the Earth.
Six orbiters were built for flight: Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. All were built in Palmdale, California, by the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based Rockwell International company. The first orbiter, Enterprise, made its maiden flight in 1977. An unpowered glider, it was carried by a modified Boeing 747 airliner called the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and released for a series of atmospheric test flights and landings. Enterprise was partially disassembled and retired after completion of critical testing. The remaining orbiters were fully operational spacecraft, and were launched vertically as part of the Space Shuttle stack.
Columbia was the first space-worthy orbiter; it made its inaugural flight in 1981. Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis followed in 1983, 1984, and 1985 respectively. In 1986, Challenger was destroyed in an accident shortly after its 10th launch. Endeavour was built as Challenger's successor, and was first launched in 1992. In 2003, Columbia was destroyed during re-entry, leaving just three remaining orbiters. Discovery completed its final flight on March 9, 2011, and Endeavour completed its final flight on June 1, 2011. Atlantis completed the final Shuttle flight, STS-135, on July 21, 2011.
In addition to their crews and payloads, the reusable orbiter carried most of the Space Shuttle System's liquid-propellant rocket system, but both the liquid hydrogen fuel and the liquid oxygen oxidizer for its three main rocket engines were fed from an external cryogenic propellant tank. Additionally, two reusable solid rocket boosters (SRBs) provided additional thrust for approximately the first two minutes of launch. The orbiters themselves did carry hypergolic propellants for their Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters and Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) engines.
