The Type 41 Rolling Chassis came with a gigantic 12,7 litres 8 cylinder in-line engine with up to 300 hp and massive torque, first developed as an aircraft engine. Bodywork and interior were built as one of one by Carrosserie Kellner & Cie. in Paris.
It is still one of the largest and most exclusive cars ever made.
Scale of the build is 1 : 25, bringing the original length of 6,50 m down to about 26 cm (32,5 studs).

This is a special version of one of my drawings that I prepared for my art show at RARE DEVICE in San Francisco.
I don't do digital coloring of my art too often, but when I do, it is quite fun to work on.

My buddy "buetts" [https://www.flickr.com/photos/buetts/] gave me this brilliant little aparatus that listens to the speed of light. I have no idea how he did it, but all you need is the free software Audacity and this little black box [http://www.flickr.com/photos/buetts/8515982132/in/photostream] to test all your cameras.
Once you've downloaded the software, plug in the tester. Then you need to have a strong light in front of the lens. This is best done with anything to lay a torchlight on (and don't have a "helper" who's constantly complaining about this and that and gnagnagna).
Make sure you have the setting on your computer so that the "earphone"-plug is on "input"!
Switch the box on, start a record in audacity, and fire the shutter. Stop the record, go backward in it to search for the peaks and measure from start to stop.
Buetts has made a litte video to show the procedure : [http://www.flickr.com/photos/buetts/8516184497/in/photostream/]
Now that I know, how it works, it is a breeze. Easy. And super-exact. I\'ve tested some of my cameras and found that the Kiev/Hartblei is the most exact. Almost to the spot.
For example: 1/125 is 0.008 sec. The Kiev is on 0.009 sec. My Pentacon Six is (same 1/125) on 0.012 sec. Which is still close enough.
Buetts buetts sells these devices, so if you would like to have one: get in touch with him.

A signal is a mechanical or electrical device erected beside a railway line to pass information relating to the state of the line ahead to train/engine drivers. The driver interprets the signal's indication and acts accordingly. Typically, a signal might inform the driver of the speed at which the train may safely proceed or it may instruct the driver to stop.
One of the earliest forms of fixed railway signal is the semaphore ike these ones. These signals display their different indications to train drivers by changing the angle of inclination of a pivoted 'arm'. Semaphore signals were patented in the early 1840s by Joseph James Stevens, and soon became the most widely used form of mechanical signal. Designs have altered over the intervening years, and colour light signals have replaced semaphore signals in some countries, but in others they remain in use.
Engine sheds could be found in many towns and cities as well as in rural locations. They were built by the railway companies to provide accommodation for their locomotives that provided their local train services. Each engine shed would have an allocation of locomotives that would reflect the duties carried out by that depot. Most depots had a mixture of passenger, freight and shunting locomotives but some such as Mexborough had predominantly freight locomotives reflecting the industrial nature of that area in South Yorkshire. Others, such as Kings Cross engine shed in London, predominantly provided locomotives for passenger workings.
This view is on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway (RH&DR) which is a 15 in (381 mm) gauge light railway in Kent, England, operating steam and internal combustion locomotives. The 13 3⁄4-mile (22.1 km) line runs from the Cinque Port of Hythe via Dymchurch, St. Mary's Bay, New Romney and Romney Sands to Dungeness, close to Dungeness nuclear power station and Dungeness Lighthouse.
This is at New Romney railway station which has always been the headquarters location of the railway.
There is a signal box for local train control, and also the main Control Centre for train operation across the whole railway. The latter is staffed by a Control Officer, who is in constant radio contact with all signal boxes, locomotives, and (where appropriate) station staff, travelling guards, and engineering teams.
This original engine shed is still in use, but was designed to accommodate only nine locomotives. In recent years it has been considerably extended, more than doubling the original size. This shed is now capable of housing all the railway's locomotives, as well as an engineering centre capable of work from minor running repairs to full locomotive overhauls, together with the necessary mess facilities for engineering staff. Also on the New Romney site are a separate locomotive erecting shop, and a paint shop where locomotives and other rolling stock can be re-liveried. Although there is a secondary engine shed at Hythe station, all locomotives are now based at New Romney locomotive shed.

Everyone has a right to access our public lands, but few of Glacier's trails were created with accessibility in mind.
A first step to addressing limits to accessibility is to identify them.
Glacier and the National Park Service are using tools—like the orange, one-wheeled device pictured here in front of two people using hand cycles—to evaluate trails in the park using the High Efficiency Trail Assessment Process (HETAP).
HETAP identifies trail variables: grade, cross-slope, trail width, surface material, and more.
This data allows park managers to prioritize future trail improvements, and allow visitors in the future to make more informed decisions.
Image from a vintage asbestos abatement industry publication showing workers posing inside an apparent asbestos abatement work area while demonstrating cleaning activities. Abatement workers are depicted with disposable coveralls, supplied-air full-face respirators, and a portable air monitoring device (worker in background).
This advertising photo attempts to portray some basic aspects of asbestos abatement, but might have missed a few details for realism in this obvious staged set-up, such as the apparent absence of negative air pressurization acting on the polyethylene-sheet wall and floor barriers. Along this line, the placement of the negative air machine (NAM) itself appears to show its intake opening directly against the enclosure wall, hindering its ability to draw airflow (doubtful if it was actually activated); NAM intake should be directed toward the main portion of the work area. Additionally, there doesn't even seem to be an electrical cord leading to the NAM.
Further, there seems to be a distinct absence of a wetting-agent and associated applicator (no water, hose, or reservoir container); everything appears to be "dry". One of the main factors in proper asbestos abatement dust control technique is assuring materials are "adequately wet", which can greatly reduce the potential for dust particles to become airborne, typically achieved by wetting materials and work area surfaces before, during and after ACM removal. Even the worker wiping the enclosure wall should be using a wet towel or damp rag, but where is the bucket of cleaning solution? Plus, such wiping activity is usually reserved for the "final cleaning" stage, well after bulk ACM debris has been removed and containerized.
In addition to this, the assumed "asbestos" debris on the floor should've been "promptly" containerized as it was removed, not allowed to accumulate where it could be further disturbed by trampling it, haphazardly dragging hoses and equipment over it, etc., likely causing asbestos fibers to become airborne and further contaminate surfaces. Loose bulk debris also compounds cleaning efforts by unnecessarily spending more time and resources to decontaminate exposed equipment and supplies from excessive debris build-up. Further, the workers themselves in this image appear to have managed keeping their coveralls and gloves perfectly spotless, an amazing feat inside an "active" asbestos abatement work area during bulk removal.
Not to mention, the fact that the personal air monitoring device is attached to the worker performing the least riskiest job function -in this example - relative to airborne asbestos fiber exposure - wiping walls; whereas the other workers are pictured vacuuming and shoveling apparent bulk friable insulation material. Air monitoring results would probably not be fully representative of job tasks with the potential highest exposure risk.
A couple of other points: larger areas of accumulated bulk debris such as this are often cleaned using shovels and not necessarily utilizing vacuums, since the excessive bulk material reduces the service-life of the vucuum's costly HEPA-filter much quicker, tends to clog more frequently, and would also fill the vacuum canister or bag quite often, requiring frequent emptying or bag replacement. HEPA-vacuuming is typically employed for residual materials on surfaces, following substantial removal and cleanup of bulk debris.
Although perhaps a smidgeon of credit is due, since there doesn't appear to be evidence of a broom or brush inside the work area (at least not on camera). Dry-sweeping asbestos material is strictly prohibited. But, some asbestos abatement workers might have another opinion about that.
Also, the kneeling worker holding open the black waste bag does not appear to have an adequate fit "inside" his full-face respirator. The internal seal around his nose and mouth looks breached, consequently not providing the full level of protection these types of respirators are designed for.
Ah, but who's looking anyway?
This clever device is actually chopsticks for those, like me, who have never mastered the art of using real chopsticks. You grasp it beyond where the spring is and you can pick up all sorts of delectable goodies. Will put up the grasp picture in a bit.
…….Btw, I have no clue where I got these- probably a yard sale or donation store! Either here or maybe in the Netherlands when I was visiting my DD.
A few of the devices I use. The newest being the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC running SUSE Linux with the Gnome desktop.
I'll be using the Mini-Note as part of a colloaboration experiment at the Office 2.0 conference in San Francisco next week.
