A neat bottom-bracket cluster. this frame with its 39cms rear triangle was long enough to need a bridge. Had it been just slightly shorter the bridge would have been an aero-section one integral with the bracket shell.

This Model A racer currently holds a record of 165.442 MPH in the Vintage Four-Cylinder Gas Modified Roadster class.
The Wheels Through Time Museum collection was started by Museum Founder Dale Walksler in 1969 in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. In 1977 the collection moved to Mt. Vernon Illinois where it was housed at the Harley-Davidson dealership founded by Dale. As the collection matured it became obvious the potential for a truly incredible museum was at hand. In 2002, the collection moved to its present location in Maggie Valley, North Carolina.
Wheels Through Time is home to the world’s premier collection of rare American motorcycles, memorabilia, and a distinct array of unique “one-off” American automobiles. Located just 5 miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Maggie Valley, North Carolina our museum houses a collection of over 300 rare machines. Bonneville Salt Flats World Record Holder.
On July 4th, 2002 Wheels Through Time Museum became a reality when it opened its 38,000 square foot facility in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. The Museum features one of the world’s premier collections of Vintage American Transportation, guiding visitors through the evolution of American motorcycling and automotive history. The museum has attracted worldwide media attention and brought hundreds of thousands of visitors to Maggie Valley, North Carolina from all over the globe.

Aluminium bodied, custom-built camera for 127 format relying to large extent on the mechanics of a Foth Derby.
Used were the Foth Anastigmat f2.5/50mm lens and focussing helical, the strut and bellows system and the cloth focal plane shutter unit with speed settings of B, 1/25, 1/50, 1/75, 1/100, 1/200, and 1/500. The camera also utilises the notched pressure plate with the two red windows from a Foth Derby 2A/2.5.
The unit is hard to date. It clearly utilises components drawn from a Foth Derby 2A which was introduced in 1932 and which was replaced in 1935 by the Forth Derby 3 (which had two green and two red oval windows on the back).
Note the absence of a viewfinder, the presence of an accessory shoe (presumably to fit a removable rangefinder?), and the addition of a larger shutter adjustment knob shaped from the brass fitting of a Bausch & Lomb Optical Com. Rapid Rectilinear lens. The camera has a has a snap-on back lid and the unit is overall is VERY WELL machined.
It is unclear whether this camera is a prototype of some sort, or whether this is a highly skilled personal modification. The fact that pencil-writing on the inside of the fully removable back lid states "winding end" is not necessarily indicative that it was a British-made unit (although it was acquired from the UK).

The Spirit of St. Louis (Registration: N-X-211) is the custom-built, single engine, single-seat monoplane that was flown solo by Charles Lindbergh on May 20–21, 1927, on the first non-stop flight from New York to Paris for which Lindbergh won the $25,000 Orteig Prize. Lindbergh took off in the Spirit from Roosevelt Airfield, Garden City Long Island, New York and landed 33 hours, 30 minutes later at Aéroport Le Bourget in Paris, France, a distance of approximately 3,600 miles (5,800 km). One of the best known aircraft in the world, the Spirit was built by Ryan Airlines in San Diego, California, which at the time was owned and operated by Benjamin Franklin Mahoney who had purchased it from its founder, T. Claude Ryan, in 1926.

For the sixth year in a row I created a Christmas Lego exhibition for the mall Moldetorget, in down town Molde. This is the third year that we placed it in the window of Norway's oldest photo store, Birkeland Foto AS.
This year I created a Christmas market. You can see a Xmas tree seller, a toy maker, a woman selling food and decorative items and a Pizzeria/Bakery. At the end of the street is a church.
90% of what you see is custom built by me, but there are some models from Lego as well.
Oh, and I also included a lot of film, comics, TV and nerdy references. Can you spot them?
Heather's bar/stem was custom made using a combination of fillets and TIG welds to get a really specific look. A 38CM 25.4 Nitto B-123 handlebar completes the tight and right track look on Heather's Rockcity and we added a hand-cut 'H' to the back of the stem as a cherry on top for our favorite gal.

Buescher intended its new top model line to be visually distinctive. The nickel-silver components were a standard premium feature of the Aristocrat Custom Built models of the 1930s. Buescher used nickel-silver in the horns' slide tubing, braces, finger-hooks and other fittings.
Note the receiver; it's interesting because it differs from the receivers on all previous Buescher models. There were three other Aristocrat Custom Built models that were this horn's contemporaries; Model Numbers 236, 237 and 238. They all featured the same kind of receiver.
Presumably, the Aristocrat Custom Built trumpets' bore and related technical specifications also differed from those of the base line Aristocrat, but exactly how isn't clear.
Note that the main slide is configured so that the crook slants downward to the left and enter the third valve case to the right of the third valve slide.
The Model 265 "Aristocrat Custom Built" cornet was Buescher's tippy-top cornet model from the mid-1930s until 1939, when the new Model 225 "400" model cornet became the top horn.
After 1939 Buescher supposedly replaced the 265 with the Model 266 Custom Built cornet, which was essentially a Model 265 with a different valve block, wrap, and cosmetics that looked something like those found on the new 400 horns.
The model 266 did not last long, nor did it's Custom Built brother, the cosmetically similar Model 240 Trumpet. They may have been too expensive to manufacture at the same time as the 400 horns; Buescher simply dropped them without making a fuss and kept making the Model 265 as their Custom Built model. They may not have ever stopped making it, even as they made the Model 266.
