evenly and continuously; at the same time, it can bear relatively higher pressure. It is a fine powdery material feeder suitable for non-cohesive materials like coal powder, cement, chamotte, limestone, shale, gangue and clunch. It is widely used in gold concentrator, coal mine, chemical plant, construction and foundry for quantitative and even feeding. Advantages of this machine are: simple structure, easy-to-adjust and excellent in performance. This machine is suitable for conveying of materials with granularity less than 50mm, while it is not suitable for cohesive materials, easy-to-flow or hard-to-flow materials.

You remember 5-1/4" floppies? This was my dad's... with his handwritten note to remind him how to insert it into the drive. Of course, if you see on the left of the disk it got punched with a paper punch to make it double-sided at some point. What whackiness. And how things have changed!
Too rainy for field work today. So when I wasn't working with intrepid school kids who braved the weather for a rainy day field trip, or at my desk catching up; I decided it was an opportunity to get some shots around the farm.
Our disk waits for use when the weather dries up.

Alexander Calder, born in 1898 in Lawnton, Pennsylvania, came from a family of artists: his father, Alexander Stirling Calder, and his grandfather, Alexander Milne Calder, were sculptors, and his mother, Nanette Lederer Calder, was a painter. He trained as an artist (Art Students League of New York, 1923–25) and engineer (Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey, 1915–19). Considered one of the foremost sculptors of the twentieth century, a “merry engineer, troublesome architect, and sculptor of the times,” according to Jacques Prévert, Calder left his mark in the public space with his “mobiles” and “stabiles.” The latter word, invented by Jean Arp, defines Calder’s monumental artworks composed of simple shapes anchored to the ground, which are found, among other places, in Berlin, Chicago, Jerusalem, Paris, Mexico City, and Seattle. Alexander Calder died in New York in 1976.
