The 333rd Engineer Special Service Regiment served with the US 7th Army and was actively engaged in the Rhine-River crossing and joined in the pursuit of the retreating German Army as far as Leipzig. Several months after the war was over, most of the officers and men who had been original members of the unit were scheduled to return to the United States for discharge in October and November 1945. As a result of this impending loss of so many of its personnel, the regiment was reconstituted with lower point personnel taken from other combat battalions and a mass transfer of men was made in September 1945. The 7th Army was inactivated on 1 April 1946 and was succeeded by the 3rd Army, which moved from Bad Tölz to Heidelberg and took over 7th Army functions. The 333rd Regiment was given an area commission under 3rd Army including all engineer construction activity in Greater Hesse, with the exception of Air Corps installation and the Frankfurt and Wiesbaden enclaves. This mission involved construction of numerous military communities of ground forces installation in Greater Hesse.
The bumper of this Jeep identifies it as belonging to the 333rd Engineers with the 7th Army. However, the serviceman with 333rd lapel pins wears a 3rd Army shoulder patch indicating that the photo was taken after the transfer of the regiment from the 7th to the 3rd Army. The soldier also wears an Official US Army Photographer patch on his lower sleeve along with a Meritorious Unit Commendation Patch.

As of March this year, I would have lived in Cardiff for twenty years.
I was 22 when I left Bristol so only two more years and I would’ve lived in Cardiff for the same amount of time that I lived and grew up in Bristol.
As of May this year, I would have worked for BT (Openreach) for 22 years.
I started as a BT engineer in Bristol and had a fantastic 2 years working with a great bunch of blokes in and around Easton, Eastville, St Werburghs, Gloucester Road, Barton Hill and beyond.
During my last few weeks before emigrating to Wales, I took a camera into work to record my Bristol engineering days.
I thought I had uploaded all of them (see my Work set ) but flicking through Picasa tonight it seems I hadn’t.
Here are the ten or so remaining photos from that era, good times reflecting times long lost and van colours not seen for a good number of years .

LOS ANGELES — Employees from around the Los Angeles District gathered for the annual Engineer Day and Awards Ceremony at Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area near Irwindale, Calif., June 24.
Los Angeles District Commander Col. Mark Toy welcomed everyone and mentioned that as a USMA graduate he was very pleased with the motto selection, Duty, Honor, Country, the motto of West Point. He said it is also the District’s foundation as we are Building Strong and Taking Care of People.
With 90 employees receiving length of service certificates ranging from ten to 45 years it is clearly appropriate as a tribute to them and the thousands of Soldiers and Civilians serving in 39 countries around the world.
The day featured “County Fair” type events for kids of all ages and several teambuilding challenges with the "Future Chiefs" defeating "The Chiefs" seven to three in Ultimate Frisbee. The 2011 Picnic Committee ensured a wide range of activity and a raffle drawing to close out the day with prizes like iPad, LCD TV and gift certificates.
June is an important month for Army and Americans. Flag Day and the Army’s birthday on June 14 and the reason for Engineer Day, George Washington's appointing the first Army engineers on June 16, 1775.

Amtrak's 40th Anniversary exhibit train made a stop in Jackson, Michigan on October
8 and 9, 2011. Since Jackson is only 36 miles west of my home in Ann Arbor, I made
a visit to the train on October 8 with my flickr contact Dale Chelsea_Dale
A locomotive control stand. However, modern-day locomotives use what are called
desktop controls, located on a desktop in front of the engineer. I have always liked
the looks of this arrangement and don't care for the appearance of the desktop (just
old-fashioned, I guess).
Mechanical Engineer - November 1965
conceived by Gibbs & Cox, naval architects & marine engineers
designed & constructed by Mack Trucks - 1963
operational units delivered and accepted 1965
Final cost for design & construction was $875,000
In addition to the Super Pumper and Super Tender, the plan called for the Super Pumper to be supported by three "Satellite" units, which were basically a smaller hose tender, with 2000' of super high pressure 4 1/2" diameter hose, and a roof mounted 4000 g.p.m. water cannon. The three Satellites were refurbished in 1980.
In circa 1982, the three Satellite support plan was revised, and expanded to include a total of six Satellite units. But alas, the Super Pumper System was retired shortly after. The Satellites were re-equipped with conventional hose and responded to to major fires in a support capacity, until they too were retired..
The Super Pumper was designed in the day of pumper (known as engines in FDNY parlance) capacities of mediocre capacity, e.g. 1000 gpm.
As with any large city port, the prevalence of massive warehouses and piers made for spectacular fires. `Unfortunately, the smaller pumpers were not up to the task.
So, the Super Pumper was designed to take advantage of the waterfront supply of water, and / or the high pressure hydrant system in most of the industrial areas of New York City.
It should be noted that the water monitor (water cannon) as installed on the Super Tender had a removable reducing nozzle to increase pressure and water throw (stream) or could be used without (deluge).
While I've never witnessed it personally, it has been reported that the 7" water cannon / monitor on the Super Tender tractor was capable of blasting holes in the brick walls of warehouses. It's been said that in one instance in which the Super Pumper System responded to, that the water cannon punched a hole in the wall of the warehouse, ripped a significantly sized piece of machinery that had been bolted to the concrete floor, and pushed it clear across the warehouse floor to the other side.
Why it went out of service:
According to various sources, there were two reasons the Super Pumper System was retired.
The publicized and commonly accepted reason was that the cost of maintaining the system which was so infrequently used, was cost prohibitive.
The second reason which was told to us by one of the engineers, was more technical and consisted of two factors:
1) When constructed, the Napier Deltic diesel engine that powered the pump was mounted on the trailer. However, the air compressor and air reservoir for starting that diesel was mounted on the Mack tractor.
2) That model Mack tractor (that pulled the pump trailer, was prone to be out of service for repair frequently.
Even though the tractor of the Super Tender was of identical model, it was not equipped with an air compressor and therefore could not be used to start the Napier Deltic diesel engine.
Even so, with only one tractor in service (hypothetically if the other was out of service for repair) and had both unit been equipped with air compressors, only one piece of equipment could be pulled at one time. This would have required a third "spare" tractor, and this was not accounted for in the final plan.
Whether this reason can be confirmed through official channels at this time remains to be seen.

The Engineers Club of Dayton was founded by Colonel Edward A. Deeds and Charles F. Kettering in Dayton, Ohio in 1914. The club's building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the history of the club involves notable Daytonians and historical figures such as Orville Wright.
Members cited the status of Dayton as one of the leading industrial cities in the country in support of their formation of the club. The charter members of the Engineers Club were Edward A. Deeds, Charles F. Kettering, F.M. Tait, H.B. Canby, Arthur E. Morgan, H.M. Williams, H.J. Williams, H.G. Dorsey, H.G. Kittredge, D.A. Kohr, Harry I. Schenck, J.H. Hunt, O.H. Hutchings, Oscar, Kressler, and F.O. Clements. On April 15, 1914, the charter members signed the articles of incorporation of the Engineers Club of Dayton. Deeds was elected the club's first president (1914–1915).
Through a connection of Kettering, the club was originally permitted to meet at a property owned by Delco Electronics located on the corner of Second and Madison streets in Dayton. As membership grew, the need for a new, permanent location became evident and a building committee, funded by Deeds and Kettering, planned the construction of the present location of the club on Monument Avenue.
On February 2, 1918, the club's new home, designed by the Dayton firm of Schenck & Williams, was dedicated in front of more than 300 members and guests. Commemorating the occasion, Orville Wright gave a rare public speech. He emphasized the responsibility of the membership, both present and future. Among the distinguished guests present at the event were Governor James M. Cox, Major J.G. Vincent and William B. Mayo.
The first woman full member of the club was M. Elsa Gardner.
On October 17, 2007, the Engineers Club of Dayton was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
According to the articles of incorporation, the mission of the Engineers Club is to "foster the advancement of business, education, engineering and science, and to promote the professional development of its members."
The Engineers Club is a private, non-profit professional-association, overseen by a Board of Governors and operated by a Club Manager and staff. The Engineers Club Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to support education in engineering and business professions and the restoration and preservation of the historic Engineers Club of Dayton building. Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible.
The Engineers Club of Dayton is open to new members and offers "individual memberships, including special memberships for students and non-residents (outside the Miami Valley), as well as corporate and group memberships."
The membership of the Engineers Club is currently primarily made up of professionals and academics throughout the Dayton area. The club holds lectures and other similar professional events throughout the year. In addition to such academic activities, the club frequently hosts social events for its members.
Financing for the club's operations comes through its endowed foundation, the Engineers Club Foundation, membership fees and food sales from the dining room, located within the Engineers Club building. Members are currently required to spend a certain amount on dining and social activities offered by the club within any given calendar year.
In addition to the sources of income already discussed, the Engineers Club earns operating revenue through renting various space within the club's historic facility for banquet services. From the club's website, the types of events for which the club is well suited include wedding receptions, showers, anniversaries, birthdays, tea parties, reunions, seminars, conferences, business meetings, awards dinners, presentations and other gatherings for 15-350 guests.

An epic trip - 6-hours, 30-miles from Ouray to Lake City, Colorado - with rough rocky patches, switchbacks, shelf roads, and sweeping vistas all the way, reaching almost 13,000 feet at the summit. A Jeep Badge of Honor trail for good reason.
From TrailsOffroad.com: In the late 1800’s, miners started digging for gold, silver, lead and other ore in the San Juan Mountains. They needed a way to get people and the ore out to the nearby towns. Those roads left by the long-abandoned mines are now some of the most famous off-road trails in the books. Engineer Pass, a 30-mile trail, is one of them and is part of a trail now known as the Alpine Loop.
There are multiple mine ruins to view and explore the grounds of along the way including the Hard Tack Mine and the Michael Breen Mine.
Mile after mile provides new and more amazing views of Colorado and the San Juan mountains. Oh Point and the official summit have breath-taking panoramas of the mountains.
This trail goes well above the timberline at just over 12,900’. With the altitude comes stunning views of the mountains to the north including the Uncompahgre, Coxcomb, Wetterhorn and Wildhorse mountain peaks. The view is so expansive at Oh Point that on a very clear day, you might be able to see all the way to Utah if you turn your eyes to the west.
