AKSM-32100D is a trolleybus with a transistorized control system based on IGBT modules and an AC induction motor, equipped with accumulators based on lithium-iron-phosphate batteries with a reserve of autonomous travel up to 30 kilometers. Unlike base model AKSM-32100, it is equipped with a 150 kW traction motor. The first three ones were delivered to Ulyanovsk, Russia at the end of 2015. In 2016-2019 St. Petersburg received 35 ones, others were delivered to Belarus cities (5 to Grodno, 4 to Gomel, 4 to Vitebsk). In 2021, they were delivered to Belarus capital Minsk (25 ones) and Vratsa (9). In December 2021, three more restyled trolleybuses came to Grodno to operate the new route 24.
АКСМ-32100D trolleybuses are produced by the Belarus company Belkommunmash (BKM; Производственное Объединение «Белкоммунмаш», БКМ). BKM was organized in 1973 on the basis of the streetcar and trolleybus repair shop under the Ministry of Municipal Economy of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic. During the first two decades the plant was repairing trolleybuses and streetcars of Minsk. After USSR breakage the independent Belarus got a strong incentive to develop its own vehicles production. Therefore a few articulated trolleybuses YMZ T1 (ЮМЗ Т1) were assembled at the plant in 1993 from engineering sets of Yuzhny Machine Building Plant of Ukraine. The enterprise also modernized trolleybuses of the ZIU models 100 - 101 produced by the Engels Electric Transportation Plant (later CJSC "TrolZa") in Engels, Saratov region of Russia. Later the company started to develop its own trolleybus models, the first model AKSM 201 (АКСМ 201) appeared in 1996, followed by models 213, 221, 321 (as in foto) and 333. Since 2000 the production of streetcars started: AKSM-1M, AKSM-60102. In 2016, the production of electric buses has been organized. Today the BKM Holding (ОАО «Управляющая компания холдинга «Белкоммунмаш» - ОАО «УКХ «БКМ) is the leading industrial enterprise in Belarus in the field of production and overhaul of rolling stock of urban electric transport.

In the 1980s, Tu-128s began coordinating with the Tupolev Tu-126 (NATO reporting name: “Moss”) airborne warning and control system aircraft (AWACS). The Tu-126 would direct the Fiddlers to targets from the air. The PVO also considered using one Tu-128 to direct other Tu-128s to targets using its powerful radar. This possibility became more likely given the Tu-128S-4M’s new Smerch-M radar, which could intercept targets at lower altitudes in ground clutter.
In this image, a flight line of Tu-128S-4Ms from the 518th AP is being prepared for patrols. The life of an Arctic Circle patrol aircraft was difficult due to the lack of proper facilities and, of course, the harsh working environment. Some Soviet air bases had hardened shelters for their fighter aircraft, but due to the enormous size of the Tu-128, they were often parked on alert patches and exposed to the elements. Given the ever-changing weather conditions, keeping the aircraft on alert was tiresome for ground and flight crews.

I have been lost in Photoshop. I was having ideas in Lightroom and they led to edits and on to Photoshop CS and from there they are stretching out towards some notion of motion pictures. I have not used this Film Temperature Control System. I have been calling a film cooker. It looks superb and it comes with a three pin U.K. Plug fitted ready for accurate simmering film into tender toner and sharpish shadows and might fine highlights.
I have used two fonts to give °CineStill a look as it has in the packaging.
I forget to mention the soundtrack. Two tracks from those provided by my editing service with no composers and players listed. I have edited tracks individually and together. All errors on me and all praise to unknown originators of music. I wish that I had some names to praise.

Sorting out the control system on the main PCB. I have used extra lamps in place of the 2 motors and relays. The idea is to trigger the machine by hand (ground the output of the ring detector circuit) and see it go through the right sequence of operations. Sorting this all out took a long time, not least because one of the 'thyristors' I bought turned out to be a PNP transistor...

"The engine management system is based on the proprietary Lamborghini LIE electronic engine control system tuned for racing. Fuel injection is sequential multipoint and ignition is static with individual coils. Lamborghini Data Acquisition System, LDAS, and diagnostic functions are integrated in the engine electronic management system. For the engine cooling, two water radiators in parallel are side mounted to the engine and an engine oil cooler is front mounted as in the Diablo GT. Additional coolers for gearbox and differential oil are installed in order to better match the racing overloads.
The transmission is on the rear wheels through a Lamborghini 5 speed gearbox with one basic gear ratio option and an alternative option for a shorter 5th gear ratio. The gear box lever is in an asymmetric position on the central tunnel in order to be closer to the steering wheel, for better control. The steering system is power assisted. The tubular chassis frame integrates the roll bar and is directly connected to the rear wing. The front suspension is modified for racing. Shock absorbers and anti-roll bars are adjustable. The rims are lightweight magnesium alloy with central fixing nut and they accept racing type tyres. A special racing fuel tank with fast filling system has been installed."

Stitched Panorama
As coastal artillery guns became larger, and their range increased, growing demands were placed on the fire control systems that targeted potential naval targets. By World War II the 16” guns of Battery Townsley and Battery Davis could fire a projectile 25 miles to sea. And there is a lot of sea out there at that range. To be effective the projectile would have to strike its target and that is where the artillery fire control system came into play.
Fire control systems basically sighted targets from multiple vantage points along the shore. The vantage points were connected by baselines of known relationship. The sighting direction from each fire control station was transmitted to a central fire control plotting room where the readings were fed into an analog computer, essentially adjustable arms on a large plotting table (see video). The coordinates of a target ship were updated at 20 second intervals to establish a ship trajectory, A projectile fired by the 16” guns was in the air for about 90 seconds so several intervals of plotting would occur while the load was in flight.
Coastal batteries with smaller weapons could use fire control stations that were relatively close to each other. However, the range of the 16” guns required fire control stations that were quite far apart. In the Bay Area these began down past Pacifica to the south and ranged all the way up to Wildcat in Pt. Reyes. The Hill 640 Military Reservation, located on coastal bluffs just south of Stinson Beach near the intersection of Panoramic Highway and Highway 1, had five fire control stations with each station associated with a different 16” gun installation. The site has fire control stations for completed batteries (Townsley and Davis) and unfinished batteries (129 and 243) plus a fifth fire control station of unknown association. It is interesting that while the fire control stations all belonged to the same era they have different designs. There must be a story behind this circumstance. It is also interesting that targeting information was not shared between the batteries.
Our visit found the fire control stations all grouped together above Highway 1. They seem to be in pretty good shape for structures built 70 years ago.

The highlight of the late summer bank holiday weekend was that of 1952 Roberts-built Coronation tramcar 304 making a much-anticipated return to the Blackpool Promenade, the result of a years' work by Brian Lyndop to jump through all the necessary hoops such as electricial safety, engineering assesments and training due to the different control system inside this tram, as well as type training for the drivers (of which several drivers gave up their own free time to train up to drive this tram). 304 starred on TV in Channel 4's 'Salvage Squad' program where it underwent a full restoration back to original condition, and was originally one of 25 from this class of graceful tram built by Charles Roberts & Co between 1952-1954 (this being built in 1952) for use along the promenade. What makes this tram special is that it still retains its original VAMBAC control system (Variable Automatic Multinotch Braking and Acceleration Control) which was a British development of an American design which had been used in trams such as, I believe, the PCC cars in San Francisco - and worthy of note is that the equipment from 304 went on show for the Festival of Britain in 1951... whilst I am not sure how the system actually works, the concept was to provide smoother acceleration and braking all through just a single control lever. The problem though was that the system required lots of ventilation, and open vents to electrical systems beside a west-facing seafront isn't a particularly good combination - sand and water would enter the mechanism and would short circuit on the acceleration side, whilst at other times there were issues with the brakes not working (though this might have been caused more by something else, read on...). The Coronation trams (or 'Spivs' as the platform staff called them) had four motors instead of the usual two seen on other trams - these were not just to haul around the exceptionally heavy tramcar around (each tram weighed in at a staggering 20 Tons), but also to provide enough power for good acceleration and a good top speed - the problem though was that this could never really be utilised because the trams got caught behind the previous service (the original idea had been to replace Balloons with these on a higher frequency service - sounds familiar to modern day bus route planning)... the other problem with the four motors was how thirsy they were on the electricity; many time they would draw so much current they would trip the breakers in the substations, rendering a whole section of the tramway (and therefore any trams on it) dead and immobile. The heavy body led to several axles fracturing in addition to wheelsets breaking (these being rubber-sandwiched sets and so needed specialist attention and more frequent maintenance), whilst the roofs were prone to leaking - 304 was the very first Coronation delivered, and it was even said at the time that the roof was leaking even whilst it was being taken off the low-loader on delivery.
To cut down on their weight, the steel panels of the trams (which, it should be noted, were built by a company more familiar with railway wagons) were replaced by aluminium ones, and I believe there may have been upward-facing skylights which were panelled over too, whilst the heavyweight batteries providing backup power to the VAMBAC system were removed entirely to save further weight... the problem with this idea was that the batteries kept the system ticking over when the tram was on a neutral section of unpowered track (a neutral section being the divide between the overhead power coming from different substations), and by removing them the VAMBAC system reset everytime the tram went through a neutral section; what this meant was that if the tram went through the section whilst braking, the system reset and the brakes came off regardless of the position of the control lever - to get the brakes to work again, the control lever had to put back to position 0 and then put back ninto the braking positions: in some cases there simply wasn't enough time to do this, and on other occasions the driver was unaware of this and so the tram was reported as having a full brake failure. All of these problems led to most trams losing their VAMBAC controls in about 1963-65 in favour of more traditional Z-type controllers salvaged from English Electric Railcoaches, the converted Coronations being referred to as "Z Cars". In 1968 the class were renumbered, and 304 became 641 (the series was 641-664) but by this time were already being withdrawn and some of them scrapped; by 1971 only 660, 641 and 663 remained (the latter two having gone off to museums whilst 660 had been preserved by Blackpool Transport). 313 had been the first to be scrapped, in 1965 and so never saw itself renumbered. The last Coronation ran in normal service in 1975.
The Coronations were by far the most luxurious trams on the Blackpool system, but were also by far the most expensive. due to problems with the control system and specialised equipment, repair bills went through the roof; meanwhile the debt to buy these trams in the first place was still not even paid off when the entire class had been withdrawn from service! And all the problems associated with these trams brought the system to its knees and almost saw it off. However, the class had still remained popular with passengers and so forward-thinking preservation groups managed to save representatives from the group so future generations could enjoy their good looks and smooth ride.
304 was stored at Blackpool until 1975 when it was moved to the National Tramway Museum store at Clay Cross. Later it moved to Burtonwood after being acquired by the Merseyside Tramcar Preservation Society for use on a possible heritage tramway in Bewsey, Warrington. No progress was made and in 1984 the MTPS decided to concentrate resources on their preserved Liverpool trams and No. 304 passed to the Lancastrian Transport Group.
It was moved to the St.Helens Transport Museum in 1986 and restoration work started in 1993. This involved underframe overhaul, new flooring and a complete rewiring, partly funded by the Fylde Tramway Society. Work stalled following access restrictions at the St. Helens site but in 2002 the tram was selected as a project to feature in Channel 4's "Salvage Squad" series.
No. 304 returned to Blackpool Transport's depot in June 2002 for an intensive period of restoration work that culminated in the tram returning to the Promenade rails on 6th January 2003 for the finale of the Salvage Squad filming. The programme was broadcast on 17th February 2003 and was watched by over 2.5 million viewers.
In this photo, 304 has finished the final daytime Heritage service to close down the 2014 season, this being the late afternoon trip to Fleetwood and back seen here leaving North Pier for the depot in this Black and White photo.

From exhibit signage:
EC-135A Airborne Launch Control System (ALCS)
Top Speed - 610 miles per hour
Crew - 15+
Range - Intercontinental
Payload - No weaponry; 31,000 gallons of fuel
An Airborne "Finger on the Button"
Crammed with electronics, one of three ALCSs from Ellsworth Air Force Base sat ready for takeoff at all times between 1970 and 1991. If an attack on the United States disrupted ground-based launch control sites, this plane's crew - from 30,000 feet in the air - could send nuclear missiles rocketing around the globe. But it was never really a button; crews turned keys to launch the missiles.
Specialists on board could communicate up and down the chain of command, from the President to individual combat crews.
Pumping Fuel at 300 miles per hour
Before it was converted for missile launch, this plane served Ellsworth Air Force Base's B-52 bombers as a flying gas station. Tankers from the 28th Air Refueling Squadron met bombers in midair, connected through the tail boom, and filled the bomber's tanks.

The Brynhildsvoll family has been in the business for almost 50 years. Only recently, when they started to use Mählers, they got a plow and a control system that satisfies the mountain's demands. The owner and general manager of Ola B. Transport AS, Steffen Brynhildsvoll (40), sits in his fully equipped Volvo FH540. Here he enjoys a HB3N grading blade, a DPH 3700 diagonal plow, and the new MC3 steering system, from Mählers.
- The advantage of the new control system is that I can control everything with one lever - both plow, planer blade, and the tip box of the car. The latter is especially useful, because then I do not have to change my sitting position and bend to find buttons when I run gravel. With a button on the device I switch between the equipment. It is very practical and ergonomically correct. The load on the body becomes smaller, he says.

Seeking F22 Raptors, we only found F15's and plenty of them.
The F-15 Eagle is an all-weather, extremely maneuverable, tactical fighter designed to permit the Air Force to gain and maintain air supremacy over the battlefield.
Features
The Eagle's air superiority is achieved through a mixture of unprecedented maneuverability and acceleration, range, weapons and avionics. It can penetrate enemy defense and outperform and outfight any current enemy aircraft. The F-15 has electronic systems and weaponry to detect, acquire, track and attack enemy aircraft while operating in friendly or enemy-controlled airspace. The weapons and flight control systems are designed so one person can safely and effectively perform air-to-air combat.
The F-15's superior maneuverability and acceleration are achieved through high engine thrust-to-weight ratio and low wing loading. Low wing-loading (the ratio of aircraft weight to its wing area) is a vital factor in maneuverability and, combined with the high thrust-to-weight ratio, enables the aircraft to turn tightly without losing airspeed.
A multimission avionics system sets the F-15 apart from other fighter aircraft. It includes a head-up display, advanced radar, inertial navigation system, flight instruments, ultrahigh frequency communications, tactical navigation system and instrument landing system. It also has an internally mounted, tactical electronic-warfare system, "identification friend or foe" system, electronic countermeasures set and a central digital computer.
The pilot's head-up display projects on the windscreen all essential flight information gathered by the integrated avionics system. This display, visible in any light condition, provides information necessary to track and destroy an enemy aircraft without having to look down at cockpit instruments.
The F-15's versatile pulse-Doppler radar system can look up at high-flying targets and down at low-flying targets without being confused by ground clutter. It can detect and track aircraft and small high-speed targets at distances beyond visual range down to close range, and at altitudes down to treetop level. The radar feeds target information into the central computer for effective weapons delivery. For close-in dogfights, the radar automatically acquires enemy aircraft, and this information is projected on the head-up display. The F-15's electronic warfare system provides both threat warning and automatic countermeasures against selected threats.
A variety of air-to-air weaponry can be carried by the F-15. An automated weapon system enables the pilot to perform aerial combat safely and effectively, using the head-up display and the avionics and weapons controls located on the engine throttles or control stick. When the pilot changes from one weapon system to another, visual guidance for the required weapon automatically appears on the head-up display.
The Eagle can be armed with combinations of different air-to-air weapons: AIM-120 advanced medium range air-to-air missiles on its lower fuselage corners, AIM-9L/M Sidewinder or AIM-120 missiles on two pylons under the wings, and an internal 20mm Gatling gun in the right wing root.
The F-15E is a two-seat, dual-role, totally integrated fighter for all-weather, air-to-air and deep interdiction missions. The rear cockpit is upgraded to include four multi-purpose CRT displays for aircraft systems and weapons management. The digital, triple-redundant Lear Siegler flight control system permits coupled automatic terrain following, enhanced by a ring-laser gyro inertial navigation system.
For low-altitude, high-speed penetration and precision attack on tactical targets at night or in adverse weather, the F-15E carries a high-resolution APG-70 radar and low-altitude navigation and targeting infrared for night pods
Background
The first F-15A flight was made in July 1972, and the first flight of the two-seat F-15B (formerly TF-15A) trainer was made in July 1973. The first Eagle (F-15B) was delivered in November 1974. In January 1976, the first Eagle destined for a combat squadron was delivered.
The single-seat F-15C and two-seat F-15D models entered the Air Force inventory beginning in 1979. These new models have Production Eagle Package (PEP 2000) improvements, including 2,000 pounds (900 kilograms) of additional internal fuel, provision for carrying exterior conformal fuel tanks and increased maximum takeoff weight of up to 68,000 pounds (30,600 kilograms).
The F-15 Multistage Improvement Program was initiated in February 1983, with the first production MSIP F-15C produced in 1985. Improvements included an upgraded central computer; a Programmable Armament Control Set, allowing for advanced versions of the AIM-7, AIM-9, and AIM-120A missiles; and an expanded Tactical Electronic Warfare System that provides improvements to the ALR-56C radar warning receiver and ALQ-135 countermeasure set. The final 43 included a Hughes APG-70 radar.
F-15C, D and E models were deployed to the Persian Gulf in 1991 in support of Operation Desert Storm where they proved their superior combat capability. F-15C fighters accounted for 34 of the 37 Air Force air-to-air victories. F-15E's were operated mainly at night, hunting SCUD missile launchers and artillery sites using the LANTIRN system.
They have since been deployed for air expeditionary force deployments and operations Southern Watch (no-fly zone in Southern Iraq), Provide Comfort in Turkey, Allied Force in Bosnia, Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Iraqi Freedom in Iraq.

A visiting Norwich based Eastern region Class 101 Metro-Cammell car is seen outside the old carriage sheds at Old Oak Common, coupled next to one of the resident Class 117 Pressed Steel cars. The unit is carrying Set No. 69.
Metro-Cammell units hadn't yet arrived on Paddington local services at this stage in the 1980s - this may have been one of the early arrivals transferred over.
Class 101 Metro-Cammell units - One of the most numerous and widely used types, built for the ScR, NER/ER and LMR, later also based in WR with access to the SR. They updated version of the earlier Yellow Diamond Met-Camm Lightweights with the blue square control system. Including these early types and the more powerful Rolls-Royce engined variants later (Class 111s) a total of 760 Met-Camm vehicles were built.
When class numbers were introduced the vehicles were initially divided into Class 101s (the vehicles with AEC engines) and Class 102s (those with Leyland engines). Later the classes were rationalised with all becoming Class 101s.
The type was used as the testbed for refurbishment scheme in the 1970s, which led to many types being given a life-extension at a time when BR had no replacements for the ageing vehicles.
Many sets were given an additional "facelift" to see them become one of the last types to be phased out of traffic in the early years of the 2000s, only surpassed by some bubble cars returned to traffic. Many vehicles saw further use as parcels, sandite and route learning units, and many entered preservation.

The Stiffkey "Whirlygig" - Beside the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path between Stiffkey and Warham, leading along the Warham Salt Marshes, there is an overgrown circular area which measures 300ft in diameter and is surrounded by a metalled track. At its centre there is a metal pole, known locally as "The Whirlygig". This was a Cold War Rotary Launcher installed in the early 1950's by the U.S.A.A.F and used to launch RCAT's (Radio Controlled Aircraft Targets) for the practice firing of anti-aircraft guns. Examples are known from the United States but this may well be the only one known and extant in the U.K.
The aircraft used was a Radioplane 19, a monoplane with a wing span of almost 12ft, of metal / wood construction, weighing about 320lb, and capable of flying at more than 200mph. It was fitted with a 4-cylinder 2-stroke engine of about 72hp, a radio receiver and control system and basic flying controls. It had no undercarriage or wheels and therefore had to be catapult-launched and returned to earth by parachute when the fuel was used up or it was shot down. Almost 50,000 RP19 aircraft were built in 20 years from 1945 onwards.

New York Army National Guard Soldiers deploy the Tiger Dam flood control system along the shores of Braddock Bay in the Town of Greece, N.Y. in response to rising waters on Lake Ontario. The system consists of flexible fabric tubes which are connected and filled with water. The tubes replace sandbags as a flood control mechanism. Since being ordered to assist in flood mitigation duties by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on May 3, New York Army and Air National Guard members, along with members of the New York Naval Militia, have filled more than 673,500 sand bags. ( U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt.

The Brynhildsvoll family has been in the business for almost 50 years. Only recently, when they started to use Mählers, they got a plow and a control system that satisfies the mountain's demands. The owner and general manager of Ola B. Transport AS, Steffen Brynhildsvoll (40), sits in his fully equipped Volvo FH540. Here he enjoys a HB3N grading blade, a DPH 3700 diagonal plow, and the new MC3 steering system, from Mählers.
- The advantage of the new control system is that I can control everything with one lever - both plow, planer blade, and the tip box of the car. The latter is especially useful, because then I do not have to change my sitting position and bend to find buttons when I run gravel. With a button on the device I switch between the equipment. It is very practical and ergonomically correct. The load on the body becomes smaller, he says.
