First buildings at Islington erected 1883 despite demands that the workshops be built at Port Adelaide. Over the following years more buildings added as works were transferred from the former site on North Terrace. The workshops were important in the development of SA’s railway system and during WWI they also produced munitions. Due to their efficient toolrooms, during WWII they manufactured shells, trench mortar sights, machine-gun carriers, sections of Beaufort bombers & other aircraft, and when necessary, tools, lathes & machines for the workshops. By 1941 there were 3 shifts working 7 days a week on war work. The site transferred 1978 to Australian National, later some workshops were demolished for shopping centre which opened 2014.
“The Government has issued the first notice for erection of workmen's and foremen's cottages at Islington in anticipation of transfer of the railway workshops.” [Port Adelaide News 22 Jan 1881]
“There are improvements going on at the Railway station on North Terrace. The railway workshops or engine sheds have been removed to Islington beyond North Adelaide station, and the old building has been pulled down.” [Burra Record 18 Feb 1881]
“The operative masons and bricklayers working for Messrs. Fry Bros., the contractors for part of the Government workshops at Islington, struck for an increase of wages on Tuesday last. The men had been employed during the past month or two at the rate of ten shillings per day, out of which those of them who live in town had to pay their fares to and from the works, which cost from sixpence to tenpence a day, according to whether they held monthly tickets or not. A number of the men, however, live within a short distance of the works, while others who live at North Adelaide rode to and from the works in the contractors' drays. On Monday during the dinner hour the men held a meeting, at which it was decided to demand an increase of a shilling a day on the ruling wages, and if this were refused, to strike.” [Advertiser3 Nov 1883]
“Messrs. Fry Bros., the contractors for the Government workshops at Islington, refused to accede to the request made by their employes as regards an increase of wages, and recently discharged the whole of the men employed on the works. A number of men have since been engaged at 10s. per day, the contractors paying their fares to and from the works.” [Advertiser 24 Nov 1883]
“The inhabitants of Port Adelaide are still agitating for the removal of the whole of the railway workshops to that town.” [Evening Journal 4 Jan 1889]
“On Friday the barque Warwickshire, tying in the New Dock at Port Adelaide, discharged over 10 tons of machinery intended For the Locomotive Workshops at Islington.” [Register 2 May 1891]
“The locomotive workshops at Islington having been completed the work of transferring the plant and machinery will be commenced in a few days, but it will take some time before the employes are fairly installed in their new quarters. The workshops at North-terrace will be utilised as running sheds for rolling stock until it is necessary to remove them to make way for the proposed new Adelaide Railway station.” [Advertiser 22 Sep 1891]
“Already some 400 mechanics are employed in the shops and in the handsome suite of offices close by are the draftsmen and clerks connected with the department. The building intended for the blacksmiths and boilermakers is completed, and one forge is at work. Foundations for the large steam-hammers have been laid, and in the course of a few weeks a large body of men will be accommodated in this commodious building. The engine-shops and running-shed are already full. . . The cranes in these sheds are a special feature, and by the slightest pressure of a finger one man can lift up to fifty tons and carry it from one end of the shop to another. The carpenters' and carriage-makers' shop is already full of busy men engaged in the construction of rolling-stock.” [Register 9 Jan 1892]
“in December, 1883, the new buildings were occupied by the carriage builders and painters. The space previously monopolized by them at the Adelaide works was converted into fitting shops, and thus a small measure of relief was obtained by the department. In the meantime the traffic on the railways was very considerably increased by the discovery of the Broken Hill mines and by the construction of the overland line to Melbourne, so that in a very short time, even with the increased space at their disposal, the locomotive authorities found themselves so cramped and crowded that they were quite unable to cope with the works they were sailed upon to execute.” [Evening Journal 25 Feb 1892]
“The ground plan of the new works had been designed by Mr. Thow when Islington was first selected as the site. The plans of the new building were prepared in the Engineer-in-Chief's department, under the direction of Mr. Thow; but their details, such as the internal fittings of the buildings, the arrangement of the machinery, the fixing of the engines, end the countless devices to make the works replete with all the most modern appliances were designed and carried out by the present Locomotive Engineer. Mr. T. Roberts. . . A perfect network of rails extends in every direction, the various workshops having several lines running through them. Thus engines, carriages, and wagons are shunted to the exact spot they are to occupy whilst undergoing overhaul and renewal. . . Throughout the works the buildings are of stone, with brick facings. The roofs are of galvanized iron, and are ventilated with louvres. In those buildings which are divided into bays the roofs are supported by iron girders resting on iron pillars. Each bay all through the building is lighted with a double row of skylights extending along the whole of its length. There are, of course, in addition, windows on all the side walls. The end walls are all built on arches, the archways being filled in by immense galvanized-iron doors. Through the centre of each doorway runs a line of rails, the arches being high enough to permit the ingress and egress of the largest sized engines.” [Evening Journal 25 Feb 1892]
“Final operations at the old locomotive shops on North-terrace closed about six weeks or so ago, the foundry men being the last to leave, and now practically every branch of the Locomotive Department at Islington is in thorough working order. . . To cope with an ever-increasing traffic it was absolutely impossible in the circumscribed area at the central Railway Station to provide suitable accommodation for overhauling railway stock and carrying on the very extensive operations of the Locomotive Department.” [Register 8 Jan 1894]
“At least one member of the South Australian contingent at present in South Africa was employed in the Railway Department, and a large number of the volunteers for the second unit are workers in the shops at Islington. Therefore the men engaged there felt that the Patriotic Fund which was started to render assistance in. the case of injured soldiers and bereaved families had a special claim upon their sympathies. Subscriptions were taken up, and the effort resulted in £51 being raised. . . The visitors at once proceeded to the fitting shop, in which about 700 men and youths from all branches of the Islington Department were assembled, and for an hour the feelings of patriotism which had been pent up in the hearts of the men were allowed to assert themselves. Never were the National Anthem and other patriotic songs rendered more vigorously. . . The Locomotive Band accompanied the singing, and the brass instruments and the voices of men and boys vied with each other in a great outburst of patriotism.” [Register 25 Dec 1899]
“a visit to the Islington workshops for the purpose of inspecting the special train which has been undergoing renovation in preparation for the Royal visitors. . . The train consisted of an engine, number 43 of the "M" type, four carriages of uniform exterior design, and a brake-van. The engine, which had just left the paintshop, was embellished suitably for the occasion. On the front the-coat of arms of the Duke of Cornwall was surmounted by representations of flags, and on each of the side-plates the Royal coat of arms was placed, while on either side of the driver's screen the Prince of Wales' plumes were depicted. The Royal purple and red are conspicuous in the adornments.” [Advertiser 5 Jul 1901]
“The Government have decided that the whole of the men employed at the Islington workshops are to work full time instead of five days a week as at present. The new order will come into force this week.” [Advertiser 17 Mar 1915]
“During the recruiting demonstration at the Islington Workshops. . . it was announced that the Islington establishment would be prepared to manufacture munitions. . . the Imperial Government will welcome the manufacture of certain munitions in Australia. Drawings of an 18-lb. shell, have reached us, and have been handed to the Railways Commissioner, who will have sample shells turned out at Islington.” [Register 20 Jul 1915]
“The ceremony of presenting the Defence Department with a motor ambulance, subscribed for by workmen employed at the Islington Railway Workshops, was performed at the yards during the lunch hour on Thursday. . . The workmen recognised that it was their duty to perform the obligations which devolved on them by other men going to the front to fight their battles. They could not all go to the front, but the least they could do was to help the gallant men in the firing line.” [Register 15 Oct 1915]
“an impressive ceremony in the boiler shop at Islington during the lunch hour on Tuesday, when a handsome roll of honor, containing the names of 62 men from the shop who had volunteered and gone to the front, was unveiled by the Chief Mechanical Engineer (Mr. B. F. Rushton). . . The Railway Department proposed to place a roll of honor in each, of the workshops at Islington, so that those who were eligible and had not enlisted might be reminded of their duty. . . Twenty-five per cent, of the staff at the Islington workshops had volunteered for the front. . . Four of the 63 employes whose names figure on the roll of honor—Sergeants C. J. Backman, A. E. Phillips, F. Causer, and Paul—have made the supreme sacrifice by laying down their lives.” [Advertiser 2 Aug 1916]
“Islington. . . There has been a clearing out of old material, which had become unserviceable, at the loco Workshops. Between 80 and 90 tons of scrapiron was sent to Melbourne yesterday, and a parcel of about 10 tons of scrap steel was dispatched to-day.” [Observer 24 Feb 1917]
“Four members of the South Australian branch of the Coachmakers Employes' Federation are to leave Adelaide to-day to proceed to England as munition workers. . . Mr. E. J. Monck, carriagebuilder, has been in the service of the railway workshops, Islington for over 30 years. . . Mr. B. Brundritt and Mr. H. Howard have been employed en the carriage and waggon, building departments at Islington, and have been in the service for some years. . . Like Mr. Monck they are anxious to work on aeroplanes.” [Daily Herald 13 Jun 1917]
“In pursuance of the policy of making the rolling stuck more in keeping with modern requirements, the Railways Department is about to put into commission 20 new brake vans, which will be a distinct contrast to the old ‘blue vans’, or dog-boxes, as they have been termed, now in use. Ten of these new vans have already been completed at the Islington workshops, and will be made available almost immediately. Sleeping accommodation and conveniences for cooking have been, provided, so that on long journeys the vans may be used as living quarters. . . These vans are to be placed on both broad and narrow gauge lines.” [Advertiser 6 May 1925]
“By the end of the year defence work will be playing an important part in the activities of the Islington Railway workshops. . . The largest addition is a tool shop which is being constructed at the east end of the yards, well away from the remainder of the plant. When the building is finished it will be equipped with machinery for the manufacture of milling cutters and other delicate machine parts, which will be sent to Lithgow, New South Wales, to assist in the production of Bren machine guns. . . Some of the older workshops at Islington are being altered in preparation for the beginning of work on the construction of aeroplane parts. No details of what is being planned are available. . . In the meantime, the workshops are filling a contract for the manufacture of nine armored cars. . . At present, however, the busiest section of the workshops is the construction shed, in which the new vice-regal [rail]car is being built in time for the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Kent.. . . Built of welded steel, it will be 79 feet long and nearly 10 feet wide, and will weigh 56 tons. It will have sleeping accommodation for ten people. At the rear there will be an observation lounge. Next to that will be a ladies' lounge, and then the Governor's suite.” [Advertiser 22 Aug 1939]
“A Shell Annexe has been established at Islington railway workshops, and is now nearing completion.” [Advertiser 6 Feb 1940]
“the tool-making annexe at the Government Railway Workshops at Islington is, in common with Government munition factories in Victoria and New South Wales, working 12-hour shifts. Established with the object of manufacturing the tools and gauges essential in the mass production of munitions.” [News 30 May 1940]
“The managerial staff at the Islington Railway Workshops, already busy with Islington’s own contributions to defence work, has been drawn upon for advice on interior lay-out and equipment of the Hendon factory.” [News 27 Jun 1940]
“Islington workshops. . . There are now 4,000 employes there — more than double the normal number — and about 2,200 to 2,300 of them are engaged on defence work, including munitions and Bristol Beaufort bombers.” [News 3 Feb 1941]
“South Australia's advance to the forefront of munitions-producing States was made possible primarily by the foresight of the Butler Government, which laid the foundations upon which the Playford Government has built so vigorously and soundly. As a matter of fact it was the insistence and foresight of the Government in providing such a wonderful tool shop at the Islington Railway Workshops that provided the first solid basis. The tool shop still remains an object of surprise and admiration for visiting experts who see the value of its modern equipment and the efficiency and skill of its tradesmen.” [News 4 Mar 1941]
“At the Islington workshops of the South Australian Railways Department there are working, in times of peace, about 1,750 people. Today there are 4,300; no fewer than 2,700 are engaged upon war production. . . making aeroplane parts, machine tools, and gauges, shells, machine-gun carriers. . . they are looking after the tooling of the new Commonwealth smallarms ammunition factories in South Australia. . . When Islington wants a machine to do a special job and hasn't got it, it makes it. . . In its tool room it has 370 men working. They may be making trench mortar sights, tools for Islington itself, or for other armament works, working to fine limits of accuracy. . . On war work, Islington is working three shifts a day, seven days a week.” [News 5 Aug 1941]
“Islington also operated another workshop for machining and sub-assembly for centre plane and wing sections of Beaufort bombers.” [The Mail 16 Aug 1941]
“More than half of Australia's gun-carrier production is being accomplished by workmen at Islington Railway Workshops.” [News 3 Dec 1941]
“sturdy little gun carriers are roaring and bucking their way to the forefront in a mechanised war. At Islington Railway Workshops these khaki-green structures take life as they are passed from the stage of plain slabs of steel to the finished, vibrant machine ready for action. Recently the 500th machine moved off the construction line at Islington.” [The Mail 6 Dec 1941]
“the fact that Islington Railway Workshops had an efficient tool room at the outbreak of war was one of the main reasons why South Australia became a munitions area.” [News 2 Apr 1942]
“workshops at Islington have annexes devoted directly to armaments and the tools of munitions side by side with the increased volume of railway output and maintenance. The employes at Islington include many engaged on aircraft wings and other parts; there are hundreds of women, too, and more will be hired as soon as they can be trained. . . Islington has long since passed its thousandth Bren carrier.” [Advertiser 23 Jul 1942]
“South Australia had contributed splendidly to the war-time development of the Australian aircraft industry. Mr. Makin said. The centre plane and wings for each of 700 Beaufort aircraft were produced by the Railways Department at Islington, as well as similar components for more than 350 Beaufighters, before that project was ended recently.

The beehive shaped ovens replaced an older system of producing charcoal because the ovens were a more efficient way to reduce pinyon pine and juniper into charcoal. The Ward Charcoal Ovens operated from 1876 through 1879, the silver boom years of the Ward mines. The ovens were eventually phased out completely due to depleted ore deposits and a shortage of available timber.
The Ward Charcoal Ovens served diverse purposes after their function as charcoal ovens ended. They sheltered stockmen and prospectors during foul weather and had a reputation as a hideout for stagecoach bandits.
Ward Charcoal Ovens Nevada State Monument
The ovens are 30-feet high and 27-feet in diameter at the base. The parabolic, beehive shape reflected heat back into the center of the oven reducing heat loss. The walls are 20-inches thick with three rows of vents. The ovens were made from rock quarried directly southwest of the ovens. The rock is called tertiary volcanic and quartz latite tuff.
Each oven held approximately 35 cords of wood – one cord is 4-feet high by 4-feet wide by 8 feet long – and produced about 1,750 bushels of charcoal.
Wood was cut into 5-foot to 6-foot lengths and stacked inside the ovens vertically using the lower door. The first floor of the oven was filled leaving an open space in the center to serve as a chimney. The wood was then loaded up a ramp and through the upper door, which looks like a window, in the same fashion.
The loaded oven was ignited and the metal door was cemented shut. The vents were used to adjust the air drafts to suffocate the fire just enough to produce charcoal. Burners gauged the charcoaling process by the color of the smoke.

In the mountains just mauka of the heart of Kona Town you find nestled a small arts community called Holualoa…There’s not much to Holualoa, a blink of the eye your past it driving by the Pink Kona Hotel built in 1926 (http://www.city-data.com/picfilesc/picc5136.php), or our small post office saying Aloha to Joy or Tom the Post Master…or quite simply going to the old movie theater on Saturday night for free. And let’s not forget our excellent Holualoa Elementary School built in 1897…this is “our” little piece of heaven away from the hustle and bustle of the world’s problems.
Hualalai Farms is a gated community with mostly 5 acre parcels of world famous “Kona Coffee”. And it is good! We’re an old community by most standards up here with a fine group of quiet folks that enjoy the peaceful life of gentlemen farmers, waving to one another as we pass on the road.
My journey led me here in 1989, but it’s time to move on to a new adventure, and my little piece of solitude is available for sale. I moved into this house which I built for my family in February of 2009. For all intents and purposes it’s new. I haven’t ripped out the old Ohia trees with their beautiful Lahua Blossoms. I enjoy the privacy, and watching the sun rise over Mauna Loa in the mornings, and the cruise ships passing by below.
I designed this home and property to be efficient with low maintenance, but additional growth or changes are easy to do. If you think you’d be interested in my slice of the world then by all means email me. I’d be more than happy to call you if you forward your telephone number. If you have SKYPE on your computer we can even walk around the house and property.

The 2015 Moomba Boats @MoombaBoats Mojo, Mobius LSV and Mondo come standard with the 400 6.2L Ford Raptor Engine by Indmar.
High torque at low RPM is real power and it is strong reliable efficient Ford Raptor power that is fueling the fun of water sports in 2015 Moomba boats. The 2015 Mojo, Mobius and Mondo come standard with the new 400 6.2 liter Ford Raptor by Indmar. This Raptor engine cranks-out 404 ft-lbs of torque to get any rider, surfer or skier up and on the water in seconds without the driver ever loosing sight of the horizon. The 6.2 liter displacement of this Ford engine allows the engine to work smarter not harder for increased performance and reliability. The Raptor 6.2L engines are also equipped with desirable standard features such as dual spark plugs for greater reliability and fuel efficiency. Standard closed cooling on the Moomba Raptor prevents corrosion and extends engine life. It is this degree of reliability that makes a factory backed 5-year drivetrain warranty a no-brainer on these Ford Raptor engines. The reliability and efficiency of this engine translates to the creation of more low-end power with lower fuel consumption. Moomba Boats is powering the fun of towed water sports with the new Ford Raptor engine; increasing the performance and value of these wake boats once again. Visit your local Moomba Boats dealer and feel the power of real fun with the new Ford Raptor Engine by Indmar!
Built Ford Tough®The all-new Raptor series standard in some 2051 Moomba boats is based off a proven workhorse, the Built Ford Tough® 6.2L 16-Valve SOHC V8 engine that was designed, engineered, built and torture-tested by Ford. The same state-of-the-art engine that powers the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty Trucks that boast best-in-class gas horsepower, torque and max towing ratings are now powering fun in Moomba boats. High Torque at Low RPMMoomba Boats offers two Raptor engines on one exceptional 6.2L platform providing between 404 ft-lbs of torque in the Raptor base engine and 427 ft-lbs, all in a targeted lower RPM range. Indmar calls this Torque Centric Performance (TCP), providing not just “Best in Class” torque and horsepower but the highest torque where you need it most, between 2500-3500 RPM. This allows for increased boat loading and an exceptionally fast plane time creating unparalleled performance advantages in wake boating applications. 400 6.2L Ford Raptor by IndmarThe 400 6.2L Raptor establishes a new standard for base engines specifically in terms of efficiency, displacement, torque and horsepower. Delivering over 400 ft-lbs of torque the Raptor 400 makes its home in the 2015 Moomba Mojo, Mobius LSV and Mondo standard.440 6.2L Ford Raptor by IndmarThe 440 6.2L Raptor is an incredible upgrade option in 2015 Moomba boats. The Raptor 440 delivers an industry best in class 427 ft-lbs of torque and is an exceptional choice to deliver the additional torque to quickly plane larger boats like the all new 23-foot Moomba Mojo with 2000 lbs of ballast standard. Put the Power of Fun Before the HorseThe mantra of “yesterday” was to strictly focus on horsepower, a necessary component for top end speed, but not quite the tool to do the work in boats loaded for big wake applications. While we still demand horsepower, “todays” applications require additional torque or pulling power to meet the demands of the sport. Today’s water sports applications require the kind of torque that only the 6.2L Ford Raptor by Indmar is capable of delivering.Reliable PerformanceEach Indmar Raptor 6.2L Engine is equipped with an extensive list of safety and performance features to include wide band o2 sensor to control fuel band, water flow monitor to warn against any water intake restriction, head temperature sensor that puts engine into limp mode in the event of a coolant issue and a fuel pressure monitor that checks fuel flow. The Raptor features an exclusive oil pan to optimize how the oil is dispersed and controlled regardless of the angle and pitch of the engine. The system has been designed to eliminate the concern of oil starvation or air bubbles developed in bank angles or when going over large rollers. The Raptor 6.2L engines also are equipped with some compelling standard features such as dual spark plugs for greater fuel efficiency and closed cooling for reliability. 5-Year WarrantyIt is this degree of reliability that makes a factory backed 5-year drivetrain warranty a no-brainer on these Ford Raptor engines. The factory backed 5-year engine warranty provides peace of mind and protection long after the competitor’s expire.Fuel EfficientThe reliability and efficiency of the Ford Raptor engine translates to the creation of more low-end power with lower fuel consumption. The Raptor 6.2L engines inherently run more efficiently, but are also equipped with additional features that increase those efficiencies resulting in less fuel consumption. That means more time on the water and less time at the pump. The Raptor’s wide band O2 sensors allow for better fuel economy through a broader RPM range while the dual spark plugs do their part in creating more efficient combustion.Visit your local Moomba Boats dealer and feel the power of real fun with the new Ford Raptor Engine by Indmar!

The second thermal loop involves the A/C system. Valeo has optimized the compressor’s technology in order to meet the specific needs of electric and hybrid vehicles. Unlike ICEVs, it is driven by a dedicated electric motor, meaning that integration into the engine compartment is more flexible, and that the system can operate while the vehicle is stationary, which is not possible for an ICEV. The optimized scroll compressor is designed for achieving low noise and vibration level, a distinctive benefit in the light of the low noise levels in electric vehicle cabins. The scroll technology compact and highly efficient, as well as the performance of the brushless electric motor, result in reducing significantly current consumption. It also increases the overall efficiency of the climate system because of the presence of an oil separator. The compressor is compatible with the R1234yf refrigerant fluid in line with future EU regulations.

My Brompton. I'm not an engineer. I have no feel for mechanics but I respect this machinery for its simplicity - the most efficient of all inventions for transmitting human energy into forward motion. I have a relationship with this item. I look after its parts. My feet have been turning these pedals (and their occasional replacements) transmitting my best efforts through the chain to the Brompton's 16" wheels for several years and many miles. Thus I travel under my own power. I know the chain quite well, having removed it, cleaned it in spirits and let it lie in a bowl of lubricating oil for a while before hanging it to drip-nearly-dry for a night, putting it back in place, turning pedals, rear chain set and wheel for 30 seconds, before setting out for my next destination.

Whether efficient public transit, climate change, or air and water pollution, marginalized communities are regularly denied access to healthy environments. Differences in power and political voice create differential impacts of our changing environment—natural and built—on these communities, compromising access to basic necessities like clean water and breathable air. Legislation to redress these differential impacts requires policymakers to work hand in glove with the communities they represent.

In May, the European Parliament approved new powers for Europol. Are these powers enough to boost the efficient fight against terrorism? How can equilibrium be reached between preventing terrorism, and fighting the phenomenon with fair and balanced methods, while observing EU citizens' rights?
