In September 1966, a local farmer at Brafield who owned a threshing box decided to get a traction engine in to thresh the corn. Here we see this historic process in operation using a Fowler traction engine - "Pride of Northamptonshire."

The earliest records of mining at Okel Tor date from the 1840s when the Okel Tor Silver, Lead & Copper Mine Co. was formed. At its peak 200 people worked here including women and children, though it was only the older boys that went underground.
The fortunes of the mine ebbed and flowed and when the price of tin and copper fell it was arsenic that became the most valuable product. Closure eventually came in the late 1880s and the mine was abandoned. It was some years before the machinery was removed and then a slow, steady decline as nature reclaimed the site.
In 1999 English Heritage (now Historic England) scheduled Okel Tor Mine as an Ancient Monument and, a few years later, UNESCO designated it as a World Heritage Site.
Since then some of the more important structures have been repaired to prevent further decay and an ongoing management plan will help preserve it for future generations.
The mine smithy and count house have been restored as holiday lets.
More car show, hot rods, and chrome. The object of these cars is to create something that both functions (in a limited way) and is an quasi-art object. Hundreds, probably thousands of hours of labor went into building this hot rod engine that delivers maximum bling-----chrome hose, rocker arm covers, carburetor, all blinding shiny, perfectly fit and pristine. For me it's interesting, odd, and strangely beautiful stuff. I wanted a crop that would slightly disorient the viewer, so as not to focus on the forms as specific engine parts, but as light, light, line, color and reflection. Not too sure about this. . .wanted the feel of photorealistic painting or pop art. . .just something I wanted to try!

The first of 4 to be built, the original construction of this yacht was no expense spared, all teak hull, decks and superstructure. 4 cylinder Gardner engine. 4 berths in 2 luxurious double cabins, plus settee berth in the saloon. Good 2010 survey report. This is a very comprehensively equipped yacht in extremely smart condition and ready to go. A better example you will not find.

A huge thank you to CAL FIRE and all the mutual aid providers who risked their lives to protect life and property during the Springs Fire. Your bravery and hard work is appreciated.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection serves and safeguards the people and protects the property and resources of California.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) is an emergency response and resource protection department. CAL FIRE protects lives, property and natural resources from fire; responds to emergencies of all types, and protects and preserves timberlands, wildlands, and urban forests. The department’s varied programs work together using ongoing assessments of the condition of natural resources and challenges of an increasing population to plan protection strategies for California. Department personnel and equipment are a familiar sight throughout the state with responsibility for protecting over 31 million acres of California’s privately-owned wildlands, and providing emergency services of all kinds through local government agreements within 35 of California’s 58 counties.
CAL FIRE covers the state with 21 operational units, 803 fire stations (228 state and 575 local government), 39 conservation camps, 13 air attack, and 9 helitack bases. The heart of CAL FIRE’s emergency response and resource protection capability is a force of nearly 4,700 full-time fire professionals, foresters, and administrative employees; 3,100 seasonal firefighters; 5,600 local government volunteer firefighters; 2,600 Volunteers In Prevention; and 4,300 inmates and wards. To transport and support these forces, CAL FIRE operates over 1,095 fire engines (336 state and 759 local government); 215 rescue squads; 63 paramedic units; 38 aerial ladder trucks; 58 bulldozers; 5 mobile communication centers; and 11 mobile kitchen units. The department funds, via contract, an additional 82 engines and 12 bulldozers in six counties – Kern, Los Angeles, Marin, Orange, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. From the air, CAL FIRE operates 23 1,200-gallon air tankers, 11 helicopters, and 13 air tactical planes.

4005 S. Packers now closed for years and the company long ago put out of service .
Engine 53 was first put into service on Jan.14, 1905.
On December 22, 1910 a large fire in the Union Stockyards killed 21 Chicago Firemen the most killed in this country until the World trade Centers. All members of Engine 53 were killed in that fire. When this company was put out of service I do not know. It was not in service when I join the department in 1970
Update: That all members were killed at the Stockyards fire may not be true. I read that they were but the official record does not show that.
May 29, 1912: Pipeman George Laughlin, was killed by a train while
responding to a fire at 41st and Loomis
July 22, 1936: Fireman Thomas Fitzgerald, was electrocuted at a fire at 1537 W. 46th street.
July 22, 1955: Lt. Berneal Deady, died of a heart attack while fighting a fire at the Swift Co. Racine and Exchange in the Union Stockyards

In 1967 or thereabouts, Bristol Commercial Vehicles, as a consequence of state ownership, became a subsidiary of British Leyland. As a result the Leyland 0.600 became available as an engine option on the Bristol FLF Lodekka. Most operators, however, stayed with the customary Bristol and Gardner engines, and Leyland-engined FLFs remained rare. Even so, there is no need to make a parade of the fact that your FLF has a Leyland engine, and the sloppy amateur lettering in the destination screen blights the appearance of this otherwise handsome vehicle. The owners were Top Deck Travel, which once ran a big fleet of Lodekkas. I think they were used for some kind of backpacker tours to Asia Minor. This example had come from the Hants & Dorset fleet and had been new to Wilts & Dorset. Was it semi-automatic I wonder. It was photographed in the Place de la Concorde, Paris, on Friday 8th April 1994.

This is a coal-burning, Heisler-type, geared steam locomotive that pulls modern tourist trains for the Cass Scenic Railroad and the Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad in West Virginia, USA. The engine was built in 1929 and initially used as Meadow River Railroad # 6. It is seen here waiting to push a tourist passenger train in Durbin, West Virginia in May 2016.
Heisler-type locomotives had a V-shaped arrangement of cylinders that rotated a centrally-located, longitudinal drive shaft just beneath the engine.
