This an original Fichtel & Sachs service chart for an AUTOMATIC hub, not the hub featured in this set of Torpedo Duomatic photos. However, most of the parts are identical to the Duomatic and the chart is very useful for working on one.
The main difference is that the Duomatic is missing parts 16 & 17 from the Automatic schematic.
Faulted sandstone from Colorado, USA (6.0 cm across at its widest).
Faults are quite common in orogenic belts. Faults are defined as fractures in rocks along which differential displacement has occurred. Dip-slip faults are those involving movement of rocks in non-horizontal directions. Strike-slip faults involve movement of rocks in horizontal directions.
The two common types of dip-slip faults are normal faults and reverse faults.
The rock shown above has a small-scale reverse fault, formed by compressional stress - the hanging wall has moved upward & the footwall has moved downward.
Locality: roadside talus along 27 Road, southeast of the town of Powderhorn, Colorado, USA (vicinity of 38° 14' 32.52" North, 107° 04' 02.63" West)
Mt. Bandai, Fukushima, Japan.
APO-LANTHAR 90mm F3.5 SL II
The characteristic of volcanic activity of Bandai volcano is the collapse of the mountain body and the debris avalanche, and the state of the past activity is that many traces are left in the stratum, and after the eruption about 10,000 years ago, the lava has not been injected.
Series of east dipping normal faults in Tertiary Bear Canyon conglomerate. South end of the Vista Pit at the Mesquite Gold Mine in southeastern-most California. This face was opened around 1989. The Bear Canyon conglomerate is about 11 million years old based on age dating of basalt flows contained within the conglomerate. The faults cut the basalt (upper left) and the conglomerate making the last movement less than 11 million years ago.

There are many situations in life when we don’t get our due. People are often judged, punished and blamed for no fault of theirs. Blames, arguments, debates are a part and parcel of our lives. No one can escape them. Nor can we turn a blind eye to the series of actions and emotions before us. We have to encounter a number of things and have to accept, this is how things in life roll.

While passing on a c2c train I saw a large contingent of staff milling around S stock that had derailed the front bogie at the entrance to Upminster depot and snapped this less than stellar view through the window (always have your camera to hand!!). I was very tempted to alight for a rather better view but demurred on this occasion.

This is a seismogram from the Isla Barro Colorado seismic station in Panama, Central America. The prominent noise was caused by a magnitude 6.3 offshore earthquake that hit about 48 kilometers west-northwest of the westernmost point of Colba Island, Panama. The quake occurred at 5:18 PM, local time, on 4 April 2023. The hypocenter was between 10 and 20 kilometers deep. The quake occurred during a Moon-Earth-Sun alignment.
Shaking resulted from right-lateral slip along a north-south striking, vertically-oriented transform fault in the Panama Transform Fault system (often mis-referred to as the Panama Fracture Zone). The Panama Transform Fault is the eastern boundary of the Cocos Plate and the western boundary of the Coiba Microplate. Transform faults occur where two tectonic plates slide past each other - the most famous example is California's San Andreas Fault.

An earthquake is a natural shaking or vibrating of the Earth caused by sudden fault movement and a rapid release of energy. Earthquake activity is called "seismicity". The study of earthquakes is called "seismology". The actual underground location of an earthquake is the hypocenter, or focus. The site at the Earth's surface, directly above the hypocenter, is the epicenter. Minor earthquakes may occur before a major event - such small quakes are called foreshocks. Minor to major quakes after a major event are aftershocks.
Most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries, such as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, collision zones, and transform plate boundaries. They also occur at hotspots - large subsurface mantle plumes (Examples: Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, Afar).
Earthquakes generate four types of shock waves: P-waves, S-waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves and S-waves are body waves - they travel through solid rocks. Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only at the surface - they are surface waves. P-waves are push-pull waves that travel quickly and cause little damage. S-waves are up-and-down waves (like flicking a rope) that travel slowly and cause significant damage. Love waves are side-to-side surface waves, like a slithering snake. Rayleigh waves are rotational surface waves, somewhat like ripples from tossing a pebble into a pond.
Earthquakes are associated with many specific hazards, such as ground shaking, ground rupturing, subsidence (sinking), uplift (rising), tsunamis, landslides, fires, and liquefaction.
Some famous major earthquakes in history include: Shensi, China in 1556; Lisbon, Portugal in 1755; New Madrid, Missouri in 1811-1812; San Francisco, California in 1906; Anchorage, Alaska in 1964; and Loma Prieta, California in 1989.

The two active faults are shown, along with segments that still haven't released any destructive forces
Faulted sandstone from the Jurassic of Wyoming, USA.
Faults are quite common in orogenic belts. Faults are defined as fractures in rocks along which differential displacement has occurred. Dip-slip faults are those involving movement of rocks in non-horizontal directions. Strike-slip faults involve movement of rocks in horizontal directions.
The two common types of dip-slip faults are normal faults and reverse faults. Normal faults form by extensional stress. Reverse faults form by compressional stress.

Most people probably think California is the only State with fault lines and earthquakes. This is a fault line in Sedona, AZ that runs just about north/south. Check out the next picture that really shows the movement!
Father:
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son:
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father:
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
Son:
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

These sandstone rock formations, created by compression and shearing along the San Andreas Fault. Cajon Pass is a mountain pass between the San Bernardino Mountains and the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California
The spectacular white arkosic hogbacks called Mormon Rocks are part of the Cajon Valley Beds.
Both arkosic units sit unconformably on a marine
formation that had been referred to the San Franscisquito. Woodburne and Golz (1972) pointed out the
lithologic differences in the underlying marine formation, and the presence of an elasmosaur relegated
the Cajon portion of those beds to a Cretaceous age (Lucas and Reynolds, 1991). Woodburne and Golz
(1972) demonstrated that the age of the Devils Punchbowl arkose was late Miocene (Clarendonian–
Hemphillian NALMA), while vertebrate fossils in the Cajon Valley beds were middle Miocene
(Hemingfordian–Barstovian NALMA).

Mormon Rocks Interpertive Trail is a 1 mile loop trail located near San Bernardino, California that offers scenic views and is good for all skill levels. Named after Mormon pioneers and freighters who completed their trip across the Mojave in 1851 on they way to the lush and fertile valley of San Bernardino...Gold was discovered in nearby Bear Valley and Holcomb valley turning San Bernardino into a typical Wild West town of pioneers.
This image shows part of the western flank of Pavonis Mons. The linear features are faults. Faulting usually includes change of elevation, where blocks of material slide down the fault. Paired faults are call graben. The large depression is a graben, whereas most of the other faults are not paired. The rougher looking materials perpendicular to the faults are lava flows. "Downhill" is toward the upper left corner of the image.

Pavonis Mons is one of the three aligned Tharsis Volcanoes. The four Tharsis volcanoes are Ascreaus Mons, Pavonis Mons, Arsia Mons, and Olympus Mars. All four are shield type volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are formed by lava flows originating near or at the summit, building up layers upon layers of lava. The Hawaiian islands on Earth are shield volcanoes. The three aligned volcanoes are located along a topographic rise in the Tharsis region. Along this trend there are increased tectonic features and additional lava flows.
Pavonis Mons is the smallest of the four volcanoes, rising 14 km above the mean Mars surface level with a width of 375 km. It has a complex summit caldera, with the smallest caldera deeper than the larger caldera. Like most shield volcanoes the surface has a low profile. In the case of Pavonis Mons the average slope is only 4 degrees.
NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft has spent over 15 years in orbit around Mars, circling the planet more than 69,000 times. It holds the record for longest working spacecraft at Mars. THEMIS, the IR/VIS camera system, has collected data for the entire mission and provides images covering all seasons and lighting conditions.
Over the years many features of interest have received repeated imaging, building up a suite of images covering the entire feature. From the deepest chasma to the tallest volcano, individual dunes inside craters and dune fields that encircle the north pole, channels carved by water and lava, and a variety of other feature, THEMIS has imaged them all.
For the next several months the image of the day will focus on the Tharsis volcanoes, the various chasmata of Valles Marineris, and the major dunes fields. We hope you enjoy these images!
