"The pressure suit was composed of five layers and the team had to make sure that it would hold pressure, as well as check the comm system, connect the antifog filaments in the helmet, and a number of other things."
The wearable patch of tiny circuits, sensors, and wireless transmitters sticks to the skin like a temporary tattoo, stretching and flexing with the skin while maintaining high performance.

Finished battery protection board for my groups senior design project. Used for charging Lithium Ion Phosphate batteries in an electric vehicle and also monitors battery health by communication via CAN bus to main controller.
Two examples of postcards - postkarten for the Stuttgart based electrical company of Robert Bosch A.G. that appear in a supplement to Gebrauschgrafik, Year 1, issue 7, from 1924. The artworks are based on poster or advert designs by the famous German graphic designer Lucian Bernard (1883 - 1972) and the overall design is by the artistic director - Künstlerische Leiter - E. Rosen.
Bosch was founded by Robert Bosch in 1886 and they are still one of the world's major producers of engineering, electrical and technological products. The company's early success was built upon electrical components for the growing engine and motor vehicle industries as seen here with an electrically operated horn, headlights and starter motors.

Single Voltage Regulated Module: This is a highly stable linear-low-drop voltage regulator. With 12V DC input, output is 1.5V,1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V or 9 V and provides up to 800mA of output peak current. For Negative Voltage: Reverse Output and Ground.
In the special International Railway Congress issue of the Railway Gazette for 1954 English Electric splashed out with their advertising budget taking a series of full colour pages for adverts looking at the company's lineage and products. English Electric had been formed in December 1918 and brought together a number of companies who had been involved in electrical and mechanical engineering along with wartime munitions work. Of the various concerns it was Dick, Kerr of Preston who had been most involved in transport; primarily tramways but also in railways. The following year EE purchased the Siemens Brothers Dynamo Works Limited at Stafford, works that were to become a major centre of EE activity.
Postwar and the early 1920s saw EE, like many other industrial concerns, struggle financially and in 1928 it was necessary to restructure and recapitalise the company to keep it as a going concern. By 1930 it was announced that much of the capital behind the restructuring came from the American Westinghouse businesses. EE now prospered somewhat to become one of the major UK electrical companies alongside GEC and the AEI group. During WW2 EE became involved in aircraft construction and, by acquiring Napier the aero engine company, the post-war aviation business became an important sector. In 1960 this became part of the new British Aircraft Corporation as the sector raionalised under Government pressure.
In terms of railway work, EE made many traction motors and electrification equipment that were used in 1930s schemes for expansion at London Underground and the Southern Railway. The construction of diesel locomotives began in 1936. In post WW2 years EE acquired both the Vulcan Foundry and Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns Ltd in 1955 to strengthen the business. As can be seen from the adverts much of EE's output had been in the form of exports and the UK railway stock shown dated back, some to pre-EE days. In a way the lack of UK materials shows the slow progress that the newly Nationalised British Railways were making in terms of Modernisation and the undertaking's somewhat slow pace in the replacement of steam with diesel and electric traction. In the years after 1954/55 as BR's Modernisation Plan took hold EE did supply many new items of rolling stock to BR.
