The Ford Motor Company is an American multinational corporation based in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. The automaker was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated on June 16, 1903. In addition to the Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury brands, Ford also owns Volvo Cars of Sweden, and a small stake in Mazda of Japan and Aston Martin of England. Ford's former UK subsidiaries Jaguar and Land Rover were sold to Tata Motors of India in March 2008.
Ford introduced methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce using elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines. Henry Ford's methods came to be known around the world as Fordism by 1914.
The Ford GT40 was a high performance sports car and winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans four times in a row, from 1966 to 1969 (in 1967 with a different body, though). It was built to win long-distance sports car races against Ferrari (who won at Le Mans six times in a row from 1960 to 1965). That car used the Gurney Weslake engine with the special alloy heads made by Weslake.
The car was named the GT (for Grand Touring) with the 40 representing its overall height of 40 inches (1.02 m, measured at the windshield) as required by the rules. Large displacement Ford V8 engines (4.7 L and 7 L) were used, compared with the Ferrari V12 which displaced 3.0 L or 4.0 L.
Early cars were simply named "Ford GT". The name "GT40" was the name of Ford's project to prepare the cars for the international endurance racing circuit, and the quest to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The first 12 "prototype" vehicles carried serial numbers GT-101 through GT-112. The "production" began and the subsequent cars, the MkI, MkIIs, MkIIIs, and MkIVs, numbered GT40P/1000 through GT40P/1145, were officially "GT40s". The name of Ford's project, and the serial numbers dispel the story that "GT40" was "only a nickname.“
The Ford GT90 was a concept car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was unveiled in January 1995 at the Detroit Auto Show as "the world's mightiest supercar". Claimed performance included a top speed 253 mph (409 km/h) from a 720 hp (537 kW) quad-turbocharged V12 engine, the exhaust of which was claimed to be hot enough to damage the body panels, requiring ceramic tiles similar to those on the space shuttle to prevent this.
The mid-engined car was a spiritual successor to the Ford GT40, taking from it some styling cues, such as doors that cut into the roofline, but little else. All angles and glass, the Ford GT90 was the first Ford to display the company's "New Edge" design philosophy. The GT90 was built around a honeycomb-section aluminum monocoque and its body panels were moulded from carbon fiber.
The GT90 was built by a small team in just over six months and, as a result, borrowed many components from another high profile stablemate—the Jaguar XJ220. The all-round double wishbone suspension and the five-speed manual gearbox came from the Jaguar, while the engine was a siamesed 4.6L DOHC V8 block (from the Lincoln Mark VIII) with 2 cylinders cut off.
The GT90's 48-valve V12 was a six-litre engine which, if Ford had ever produced it in volume, might have produced up to 720 hp (537 kW), thanks to four Garrett AiResearch T2 turbochargers. The engine was based on the Ford Modular engine. Two Lincoln V8 engines each had portions removed, namely the last pair of cylinders from the rear of one engine and the first pair of cylinders from the front of the other engine and the cut down engines were welded together. In total, this yielded a 90-degree V12, with 90.2 mm bore and 77.3 mm stroke.
Jacques Nasser, then a Ford executive and eventually CEO, was very proud of the car, and kept a model of it on his desk, as seen in a documentary on the U.K. television network Channel 4 on the Firestone tire incidents.
In the Top Gear episode first broadcast on October 26, 2003, Jeremy Clarkson stated "I actually drove this and it was horrid. It had a top speed of 40 (mph) and it handled like it was in a cartoon".

Europe District paid tribute to Kurt Glockengiesser for his distinguished service as an electrical engineer in the Engineering and Construction Division during an award ceremony July 31 at the Amelia Earhart Center in Wiesbaden, Germany. Lt. Col. Charles Hemphill, deputy commander, presented him with a Certificate of Retirement and the Commander’s Award for Civilian Service. Glockengiesser’s wife, Gina, also attended and the couple received gifts from district colleagues. The German local national employee first joined then-Europe Division in 1977, working for seven years at the Frankfurt headquarters. He went into private business but rejoined U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District in April 2002. He provided exceptional advice and support to field offices while directly contributing to the quality of facilities constructed by the district with his technical expertise and professionalism, according to the award citation. He also mentored countless U.S. personnel on construction and European electrical safety. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Vince Little)
LAS VEGAS, NV, MARCH 25, 2011 - Girl Talk performing at The Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Friday night.
Girl Talk is Pittsburgh-based mash-up artist Gregg Gillis. Not too long ago, Gillis made his bread and butter as a biomedical engineer, relegating his mash-up skills to hobby status. But the buzz on both his wildly inventive productions — slicing and dicing and stitching together bits of oldies, chart hits, indie-rock favorites and hip-hop jams — and his wilder live performances eventually propelled him to make Girl Talk a full-time endeavor.
Celebrating 10-plus years of sample-obsessed production and relentless touring, Gregg Gillis released All Day this past November, his fifth album as Girl Talk, and his most epic, densely layered, and meticulously composed musical statement to date. Continuing the saga from the previously acclaimed albums, Night Ripper and Feed The Animals, Gillis lays down a more diverse range of samples to unfold a larger dynamic between slower transitions and extreme cut-ups. With the grand intent of creating the most insane and complex "pop collage" album ever heard, large catalogs of both blatantly appropriated melodies and blasts of unrecognizable fragments were assembled for the ultimate Girl Talk record (clocking in at 71 minutes and 372 samples).
Max Tundra and Junk Culture opened for Girl Talk.

According to the limited information Herkimer scheduled production for single propeller commercial version of this engine in the early 1940's. Other than a few repro’s, fabricated by welding two twins together, it appears no commercial engines were actually produced or sold.
The military version sports a coaxial drive for contra rotating propellers with a dual point distributor in the back. It measures 11.5 inches long, 8 inches wide plug to plug, 5 inches high, and weighs 4 pounds- 12 ounces; it burns gas with oil mixed in for lubrication. As the war approached a few were produced for military testing but one or two either failed or were destroyed by the Army, which ended the program. This engine is believed to be the only engine, or possibly one of two original engines that survived.
Like the OK twin it has a single updraft carburetor with manifold tubes extending to each cylinder. Interesting is the tubes that make up the manifold appear to be rolled from brass sheet stock with the seams soldered.

Trouty, NL 29 September 2010
New Medium Girder Bridge
A Medium Girder Bridge is built by 4 ESR and 56 Engineer Company, St. John's NL, for the residents of Trouty NL on the Bonavista Penninsula, Newfoundland and Labrador. The community of Trouty was literally cut off from supplies and vehicle traffic when the only bridge that connected the community to the mainland was washed away by high water levels brought on by Hurricane Igor.
Operation LAMA (A) 02-10 is the Canadian Forces (CF) joint response led by Canada Command and conducted through Joint Task Force Atlantic (JTFA) to the devastation caused by Hurricane Igor to southern and eastern Newfoundland on 21 September 2010. The domestic humanitarian relief mission incorporated Canadian Forces land, maritime and air assets to deliver much needed assistance to isolated Newfoundland communities cut off by severe road damage. More than 1,000 members from the Air, Land and Maritime components of the CF, in coordination with the Federal Government of Canada and the Provincial Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, are engaged in multiple tasks on Op LAMA (A) 02-10, including: delivering critical supplies such as food, water, medical supplies and fuel; providing medical evacuation; assisting in moving power crews and materials to repair power grids; delivering generators and re-supplying fuel to main communications nodes; assisting with bridging and road repair and transporting engineering analysis teams.

Un nouveau pont moyen à poutres
Le 4 RAG et la 56e Compagnie de génie, St. John’s, à T. N. L., construisent un pont moyen à poutres pour les résidents de Trouty, sur la péninsule Bonavista, à Terre Neuve et Labrador.
Le 4e Régiment d’appui du génie de la Base des Forces canadiennes Gagetown a fourni de 120 à 150 militaires, ainsi que 39 véhicules, qui se sont rendus jusqu’à Terre Neuve et Labrador pour prendre part à la reconstruction d’un pont et à la construction d’un système de purification d’eau pour les collectivités isolées dans toute la presqu’île Avalon.
Les militaires ont été appelés à prêter main-forte aux autorités civiles après le passage de l’ouragan Igor sur les côtes sud de Terre Neuve et Labrador. Igor a déversé plus de 200 mm de pluie, a occasionné des pannes d’électricité généralisées et a détruit de nombreux ponts.

“Engineers comprise another crucial part in DARKDAWN’s total military force. Though lacking in advanced combat skills, and thus vulnerable when exposed on the battlefield or behind enemy lines, engineers are capable of repairing almost any broken machinery or piece of hardware in record time. Their skill with the tools of their trade and their speed with their hands and brains allows them to conserve precious time and increase the chances of a mission’s success. Often wielding short submachine guns, and covered in storage pouches, engineers are always handy and ready to tackle any misbehaving piece of machinery, resolving the situation as fast as they know how.”
Primary Weapon of Choice: Short Submachine Gun
Secondary Weapon(s) of Choice: (Wrench?)
Effective #Units per Assignment: As Needed
