Laycock country house with monastic roots, once home to William Henry Fox Talbot, inventor of the photographic negative
The Alexander Brown House in Syracuse, New York is a Romanesque Revival sandstone and tile home built in 1895. It was the home of Alexander T. Brown, co-founder of Brown-Lipe-Chapin Company, a firm that was absorbed into General Motors.[3] Brown was a successful inventor and manufacturer. He added such engineering features to the house as a hydraulic elevator and a house-wide vacuum cleaning system.

A silver Crescent wrench with gold reflections for this week's Looking Close on Friday theme: "Gold & Silver"
HCLoF
In 1907, a Swedish immigrant and inventor Karl Peterson founded the Crescent Tool Company, and soon after introduced what is billed as America’s first open-end adjustable wrench.
Today part of the Apex Tool Group, the Crescent wrench can be found in many toolboxes, including mine, and has a reputation for proven reliability. According to crescenttool.com, Charles Lindbergh, after his historic transatlantic flight in 1927, was quoted as saying that he carried only “gasoline, sandwiches, a bottle of water and a Crescent wrench and pliers.”
Carreras Cigarette Factory, Hampstead Rd, London
(Also known as Greater London House)
The building was constructed between the years 1926-28 and is built in the Art Deco style (notably early 20th Century Egyptian Revival). The Carreras Cigarette Co was owned by Bernhard Baron, an inventor and philanthropist to a design by architects M. E. & O. H Collins and A. G. Porri of Camden Arcadia Works. The design was thought to have been influenced by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon’s 1922 expedition and discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. The architects also took ideas from exhibits at the British Museum.
It must have been a fantastic spectacle on that opening day. The pavements close to the building were covered with sand and the cast of the Opera ‘Aida’ paraded by in Egyptian costume and performed around an Egyptian themed set. There was also a chariot race held in the Hampstead Road.
As a building it is mainly white and is 550 feet long (168 metres). It is highly decorated with 12 columns of white with red and blue capitols. There is a very imposing front door with two large cats on top of either side of the main staircase. There are also quite a few cat motifs adorning the front of the building.
During the 1960’s the factory was converted to offices and many of these Egyptian items were lost. The building was again renovated in the late 1990’s when replicas of the cats were restored to their rightful place. The original cats were moved in 1959-60 when the Carreras Co merged with Rothmans. One cat went to a new factory in Basildon, Essex and the other to Spanish Town, Jamaica.
In 1996 the building was purchased by Resolution GLH and commissioned architects Finch Forman to restore the building. After much consultation to original drawing they were able to conceive a plan to restore at least 80—90% of the Art Deco feature, that included the construction of those famous cats in replica.

Pepsi was first invented in 1893 as "Brad's Drink" by Caleb Bradham, who sold the drink at his drugstore in New Bern, North Carolina. It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898, "Pepsi" because it was advertised to relieve dyspepsia (indigestion) and "Cola" referring to the cola flavour.

"By golly, look at it go, Branston!" the older businessman said, pleasantly surprised at the unexpected mannerism of the robot that. Branston just raised an eyebrow in scrutiny. He had to be sure of the thing they were about to invest in.
"So how do you like him, gentlemen? He's ready to work, self-sufficient, intelligent, and he'll definitely do good work in the mines," the inventor said. His partner grinned in satisfaction, sure of their creation, knowing that with this one chance, they can and will finally land their first big break. He just hoped that Branston agrees as well, of course.

The structure to the left is a Guibal Fanhouse ("Guibal" taken from the name of its Belgian inventor). It was built in the 1870's to ventilate the ironstone drift mines on Huntcliff, in Cleveland. The building contained a 30 feet in diameter fan, powered originally by a steam engine and later by electric. The mine closed in 1906, but the building, minus the inner workings, remains and is a scheduled ancient monument. The building is situated one field away from the cliffs above the North Sea.

Thomas A. Edison invented his first phonograph in 1877. The sound was recorded on tinfoil around a grooved cylinder.
Despite its limited sound quality and that the recordings could be played only a few times, the phonograph made Edison a celebrity. Although Edison obtained a patent for the phonograph in 1878, he did little to develop it until Alexander Graham Bell and others produced phonograph-like device in the 1880s that used wax-coated cardboard cylinders.

Carte de visite by H.H. Freeman of Belvidere, Ill. A man stands next to what appears to be a model of an engineering improvement. He may have been the brain behind the invention, and intended this image to be submitted to the patent office in Washington, D.C. Using photography for this came of age when the carte de visite became all the rage in the U.S.
I encourage you to use this image for educational purposes only. However, please ask for permission.
My build for Round 3 of The Tourney at MOCpages. Halhi141, Infernum, and Brick all gave me helpful suggestions for this build. Credit for the lantern design goes to Brick, though I modified it slightly. This was an extremely fun build. I tilted the wood sections using ball joints, for the first time. The idea of the build was to create a wacky, and whimsical atmosphere. Hence the unusual colorscheme for the build.
There's a full interior, and the elevator actually works. Also Amfridus has devised a bucket system whereby he procures water without leaving his home.
Amfridus the Inventor lives in his tower outside of Guaire. Unlike some inventors, he is very friendly. Naysayers claim his chemical experiments have polluted the stream which runs by his home, but the plentiful aquatic life seems to show otherwise. Rego and Dedan pay Amfridus a visit hoping to procure some new inventions and potions that will give them an edge in The Tourney.

His Genius lives despite massive cover-up.
Nikola Tesla's prediction of a smartphone, Collier’s magazine interview, 1926:
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance.
Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone.
A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket."

I made this guy in early 2018, and i personally consider him to be a massive turning point in my proficiency as a builder. The moc itself is a reimagining of an older character in a much sleeker refined style, which ended up being something i would try and stick to ever since.
The old photo i have of him is a bit outdated now as i made several minor changes to the moc each time i went to a new convention or fixed him up from a shelf fall, so i figured he deserved a new photoshoot. I like this pose a lot more too.
Alfred Nobel´s aluminium hulled naphta sloop Mignon photographed in 1892-1896 in Switzerland by R. Guber. My colorization of an image in the Swedish Digital Museum.
"A naphtha launch, sometimes called a "vapor launch", was a small motor launch, powered by a naphtha engine. They were a particularly American design, brought into being by a local law that made it impractical to use a steam launch for private use." --
"The first naphtha launch appears to have been British, reported in the French journal La Nature in 1888. This launch, Zephyr, was the invention of Alfred Yarrow, a well-known builder of steam launches for some years previously. Similar launches were produced in the same year by the Swiss company Escher Wyss AG. One of these was Alfred Nobel's graceful aluminium-hulled sloop Mignon, of 1892."
"Alfred Bernhard Nobel ( 21 October 1833 – 10 December 1896) was a Swedish businessman, chemist, engineer, inventor, and philanthropist. He held 355 different patents, dynamite being the most famous. The synthetic element nobelium was named after him. He owned Bofors, which he redirected from its previous role as primarily an iron and steel producer to a major manufacturer of cannon and other armaments. Having read a premature obituary which condemned him for profiting from the sales of arms, he bequeathed his fortune to institute the Nobel Prize."

Hattie: Hello, what are you doing?
Tina: I'm inventing kids. Duh! What does it look like?
Hattie: Perhaps kidnapping to start with. Then unscrupulous handling of minors.
Tina: Pah! My dear child, this is science at its best. Only this little chap didn't fit in the oven. A setback I'll admit.
Hattie: Hm. Oh, that little nipper is getting away.
Tina: Quick! Grab the tongs and get him! He'll fit in there for sure.

I told Apollo about Zhi's and my need for a time machine..and seeing as though Apollo is such a genius, he worked for days and days without food or sleep and finally ...he did it..a time machine that will transport you to any time..for us, Zhi, it is designation..the Victorian era!
I am curious what time everyone would want to go to in Apollo's time machine? Any time is possible! <3
