Some good fortune this morning, a railtour with heritage traction in the local area and was able to get it in sunshine! The Branch Line Society's 'The Ips Witch' heads down the Great Eastern Mainline at Manningtree, from the said town in Suffolk to East Midlands Parkway via London and Peterborough. This tour is one way as the objective is to get the rolling stock back to the Midlands, following its use for the GBRf staff charter from Ipswich to Paignton yesterday. Would be even better to see these locos in BR blue like they used to be, though without the GBRf tie-in the Saturday staff tour may have just been Class 66 hauled instead so can't grumble too much!
UPDATE: If you happened to have seen this image with the sparkle paper bokeh/background, please be advised that I've updated the post. I don't do this very often but tying in the maps of my beloved Delaware Water Gap was just too much to pass up.
In keeping with the context of the GPS device I've reshot the unit sitting on some maps. They are rather significant in that they show all the trails around the Mt. Tammany side of the Kittatinny range. In the lower left side you can make out the Delaware Water Gap. That's the gap in, "Gaphiker" and I've hiked those trails hundreds of times. I've never lugged around this beast of a GPS unit but did record every hike with my Garmin GPSmap 60CSx that I still use today! I hope you understand why I made the change. If you don't like the map background version I won't be upset if you withdraw your comment/fave.
It's hard to imagine the world today without GPS but it was only in 1989 that the first commercial contact for GPS was awarded to Magellan. Magellan and Trimble dominated the field but with prices from $3000-$4000 the average consumer found it a tough buy. By 1991, things started to change and companies like Garmin and Sony jumped into the market, you could now buy this IPS 360 for $1400 and a handheld Garmin for $1300, still a pretty good chunk of change but hard to resist what the technology offered. The early units were targeted at the marine industry but it would only be a couple of years before GPS becomes a household word, forever changing our lives. And, as they say, the rest is history...
The IPS 360 measures 7 inches tall X 4 inches wide X 1.5 inches thick. I find it interesting that a flickr search of this device yields only one pic and that's mine!

iPS cells reprogrammed from a woman's skin. Blue shows nuclei. Green indicate a protein found in reprogrammed cells but not in skin cells (NANOG). The red dots show the inactivated X chromosomes in each cell. These cells can be matured into cells of the body, and used for studying models of disease.
The image was taken in the laboratory of Kathrin Plath at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Speziell für Teleskope und Radaranlagen hatte die Firma Dornier die IPS (Instrument Pointing System) genannte Nachführungseinheit entwickelt. Diese hatte die Aufgabe, die auf den Paletten installierten Geräte auf einen bestimmten Punkt (Stern) auszurichten und über einen längeren Zeitraum nachzuführen. Das IPS hatte eine Eigenmasse von 1180 Kilogramm, war 3-Achsen-stabilisiert und für Instrumente mit einer Masse von bis zu 7000 Kilogramm ausgelegt. Dabei lag die Ausrichtgenauigkeit bei 2,0 Bogensekunden und die Präzision der Nachführung bei 1,2 Bogensekunden. Insgesamt wurden zwei IPS gebaut. Seriennummer 1 steht im Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center des National Air and Space Museum nahe Washington (D.C.). Die Seriennummer 2 befindet sich in der Ausstellung des Dornier-Museums in Friedrichshafen.
