An AC induction motor can be brought to a rapid standstill by injecting any two phases with a current-controlled DC supply until the motor stops. This one is off a pedestal drill. It was made in the UK by RDM. It uses GEC contactors and an IR thyristor for the DC. Judging by the state of the components, I think it's spent the last 30 years powered up continuously. A few capacitors, resistors and joints to attend to and it's working again.

Terms & Conditions
[1] DEFINITIONS:
"Image(s)" means all visual representations furnished to Client by Photographer, whether captured, delivered, or stored in photographic, magnetic, optical, electronic, or any other media. Unless otherwise specified on the front of this document, Photographer may deliver, and Client agrees to accept, Images encoded in an industry-standard data format that Photographer selects, at a resolution that Photographer determines will be suitable to the subject matter of each Image and
the reproduction technology and uses for which the Image is licensed. It is Client's responsibility to verify that the digital data (including color profile, if provided) are suitable for reproduction of the expected quality and color accuracy, and that all necessary steps are taken to ensure correct reproduction. If the data are not deemed suitable, Photographer's sole obligation will be to replace or repair the data, but in no event will Photographer be liable for poor reproduction quality, delays, or consequential damages. Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, Photographer has no obligation to retain or archive any of the Images after they have been delivered to Client. Client is responsible for sending an authorized representative to the assignment or for having an authorized representative review the images remotely during the assignment. If no review is made during the assignment, Client is obligated to accept Photographer's judgment as to the acceptability of the Images. “Photographer” is Chris Usher/Chris Usher Photography. Photographer’s relationship with client is that of an independent contractor. Photographer is the sole creator of the Image(s). “Client” is Haymarket Media Group and includes client, client’s representatives and/or the end user (Merkle, Inc.). "Original[s]" are original photographic transparency or film negative. “Duplicate(s)” are photographic transparency or film negatives made from originals.
[2] RIGHTS: All Images and rights relating to them, including copyright and ownership rights in the media in which the Images are stored, remain the sole and exclusive property of Photographer. Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, any grant of rights is limited to a term of one (1) year from the date hereof and to usage in print (conventional non-electronic and non-digital) media in English language only in North America.
Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, no image licensed for use on a cover of a publication may be used for promotional or advertising purposes without the express permission of Photographer and the payment of additional fees.
No rights are transferred to Client unless and until Photographer has received payment in full.
Client agrees that any usage of any Image without the prior permission of Photographer will be invoiced at three times Photographer's customary fee for such usage. Client agrees to provide Photographer with three copies of each published use of each Image not later than 60 days after the date of first publication of each use. If any Image is being published only in an electronic medium, Client agrees to Provide Photographer with an electronic tear sheet, such as a PDF facsimile or URL of the published use of each such photograph, within fifteen (15) days after the date of first publication of each use. Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, all usage rights are limited to print media, and no digital usages of any kind are permitted. This prohibition includes any rights or privileges that may be claimed under §201(c) of the Copyright Act of 1976 or any similar provision of any applicable law.
Images may contain copyright and other information embedded in the header of the image or elsewhere; removing and/or altering such information is strictly prohibited and constitutes violation of the Copyright Act.
All fees and expenses payable under this agreement are required irrespective of whether Client makes actual use of the Images or the licenses to use them. Unless specifically provided elsewhere in this document, no reprographic, reprint, republication or other secondary reproduction usages may be made.
[3]RETURN OF IMAGES: Client assumes all risk for the Image(s) supplied by Photographer to Client, from the time of Client’s receipt, to the time of the safe return receipt of the Image(s) to the possession and control of Photographer. If no return date appears on the front of this Agreement or on any related delivery memo, Client shall return all Image(s) in undamaged, unaltered and un-retouched condition within 30 days after the first publication or use of the Image(s), whichever occurs first.
Client agrees to destroy all images within one week of reproduction. If the images were sent on digital media, all such material must be returned in undamaged condition within 30 days of receipt.
Reimbursement for loss or damage of each image shall be in the amount of Two Hundred Dollars ($200).
[4]LOSS OR DAMAGE: IN CASE OF LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY ORIGINAL(S), Client and Photographer agree that the reasonable value of each Original is Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2500). Client agrees to pay Photographer $2500 for each lost or damaged Original and Photographer agrees to limit Photographer’s claim to that amount without regard to the actual value of such Original. Photographer and Client agree that said amount represents the fair and reasonable value of each item, and that Photographer would not sell all rights to such item for less than said amount. Client understands that each Original is unique and does not have an exact duplicate, and may be impossible to replace or re-create. Client also understands that its acceptance of the stipulated value of the Images is a material consideration in Photographer's acceptance of the terms and prices in this Agreement. Reimbursement for loss or damage of each Duplicate shall be in the amount of Two Hundred Dollars ($200). Photographer and Client agree that said amounts represent the fair and reasonable value of each item, and that Photographer would not sell all rights to such item for less than said amount.
[5] PHOTO CREDIT: All published usages of Images will be accompanied by written credit to Photographer or copyright notice. Credit line must adhere to one of the following formats:
Photo(s) by Chris Usher © 2008 Chris Usher Photography. All Rights Reserved.
If no placement of a credit or copyright notice is specified elsewhere in this document, no credit or notice is required. If a credit is required but not actually provided, Client agrees that the amount of the invoiced fee will be subject to a three-times multiple as reasonable compensation to Photographer for the lost value of the credit line.
[6] ALTERATIONS:
Client will not make or permit any alterations, including but not limited to additions, subtractions, or adaptations in respect of the Images, alone or with any other material, including making digital scans of Originals unless specifically permitted on the reverse side of this Agreement with the exception of cropping and alterations of contrast, brightness, and color balance, for purposes consistent with reproduction.
[7] INDEMNIFICATION: Client will indemnify and defend Photographer against all claims, liability, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of the creation or any use of any Images or arising out of use of or relating to any materials furnished by Client. Unless delivered to Client by Photographer, no model or property release exists, and it is Client's responsibility to obtain the necessary permissions for usages that require any model or property releases not delivered by Photographer. It is Client's sole responsibility to determine whether any model or property releases delivered by Photographer are suitable for Client's purposes. Photographer's liability for all claims shall not exceed in any event the total amount paid under this invoice.
[8] ASSUMPTION OF RISK: Client assumes full risk of loss or damage to or arising from materials furnished by Client and warrants that said materials are adequately insured against such loss, damage, or liability.
[9] TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT: Client may not assign or transfer this agreement or any rights granted under it. This agreement binds Client and inures to the benefit of Photographer, as well as their respective principals, employees, agents, and affiliates, heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. Client and its principals, employees, agents, and affiliates are jointly and severally liable for the performance of all payments and other obligations hereunder. No amendment or waiver of any terms is binding unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties. However, the invoice may reflect, and Client is bound by, Client's oral authorizations for additional Images, fees and expenses that could not be confirmed in writing because of insufficient time or other practical considerations. This agreement incorporates by reference the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended. It also incorporates by reference those provisions of Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code that do not conflict with any specific provisions of this agreement; to the extent that any provision of this agreement may be in direct, indirect, or partial conflict with any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, the terms of this agreement shall prevail. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties intend that this agreement shall not be governed by or subject to the UCITA of any state. Photographer is an independent contractor and not an employee. If photographer is deemed under any law to be an employee of Client, and if the Images are therefore considered works made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, Client hereby transfers the copyright to all such Images to Photographer. Client agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by Photographer to accomplish, expedite or implement such transfer.
[10] DISPUTES: Except as provided in [11] below, any dispute regarding this agreement shall, at Photographer's sole discretion, either:
(1) be arbitrated in Alexandria, VA, under rules of the American Arbitration Association and the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia; provided, however, that irrespective of any specific provision in the rules of the American Arbitration Association, the parties are not required to use the services of arbitrators participating in the American Arbitration Association or to pay the arbitrators in accordance with the fee schedules specified in those rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any dispute involving $5,000 or less may be submitted without arbitration to any court having jurisdiction thereof OR (2) be adjudicated in Alexandria, VA under the laws of the United States and/or of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
In the event of a dispute, Client shall pay all court costs, Photographer's reasonable legal fees, and expenses, and legal interest on any award or judgment in favor of Photographer.
[11] FEDERAL JURISDICTION: Client hereby expressly consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts with respect to claims by Photographer under the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, including subsidiary and related claims.
[12] OVERTIME: In the event a shoot extends beyond eight (8) consecutive hours, Photographer may charge for such excess time of assistants and freelance staff at the rate of 1 1/2 times their hourly rates.
[13] RESHOOTS: Client will be charged 100 percent fee and expenses for any reshoot required by Client. For any reshoot required because of any reason outside the control of Client, specifically including but not limited to acts of God, nature, war, terrorism, civil disturbance or the fault of a third party, Photographer will charge no additional fee, and Client will pay all expenses.
If Photographer charges for special contingency insurance and is paid in full for the shoot, Client will not be charged for any expenses covered by insurance. A list of exclusions from such insurance will be provided on request.
[14] ASSIGNMENT CANCELLATIONS AND POSTPONEMENTS:
Cancellations: Client is responsible for payment of all expenses incurred up to the time of cancellation of the assignment, plus 50 percent of Photographer's fee; however, if notice of cancellation is given less than two (2) business days before the shoot date, Client will be charged 100 percent of invoice.
Postponements: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Client will be charged a 100 percent fee if postponement of the assignment occurs after photographer has departed for location, and 50 percent fee if postponement occurs before departure to location. Fees for cancellations and postponements will apply irrespective of the reasons for them, specifically including but not limited to weather conditions, acts of God, nature, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, and the fault of a third party.
[15] PAYMENT AND COLLECTION TERMS: Invoices from Photographer are payable upon receipt. The unpaid amount of any invoice, within 10 days of the mailing date of the invoice, will incur a rebilling fee of not less than Twenty Five percent of the remaining balance due. In any action to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover their actual attorney’s fees, court costs and all other non-reimbursable litigation expenses such as expert witness fees and investigation expenses. No lawsuits pertaining to any matter arising under or growing out of this Agreement shall be instituted in any place other than Alexandria, Virginia.

There are a row of what appears to be Greek goddesses that stand guard in front of the Rouge hotel in Washington, DC. Even though their deity is denied in Christianity, they still had it in them to show holiday their spirit.

Today is the ribbon-cutting on the 19-month-long restoration project on O and P Streets NW, during which short stretches of traditional cobbled streets were upgraded and streetcar tracks that once formed part of a network crisscrossing the city were rehabilitated. The whole project—which included work on water mains and streetlights—cost an estimated $12 million.
