Mid-19th century style muzzle loader -- bullet and powder are still loaded from the front, but the powder is detonated with a mercury fulminate percussion cap that's hit by a hammer, rather than a spark from a flint.
Though generally more reliable than counting on sparks from a flint to hit a flashpan, the percussion cap isn't foolproof; ours failed to fire about half the time. Usually the trouble is just seating the cap on properly, but sometimes the little channel that conducts the spark to the powder can get clogged up.

The loading dock is set into the front left corner of this store, similar to Roosevelt and Ballard, but here the interior was set up so that it doesn't cause a notch into the sales floor. On the day I was there, the whole loading dock area was filled up with junk -- not sure what was going on, but they sure weren't going to get any trucks in there with it like this!
A special load was in the mix of today's KCS MKCVN train passing through Bridge Jct in East St Louis, IL.

Malcom Moore loader mounted on a Fordson. The front axle an rear wheels are strengthened. The bucket, when fitted has trip release, not hydraulic tilt.
I thought this was kind of interesting. It's different from my usual subjects but captures something you don't see every day.
CEA were employed to pack and lash 77 units of Mud Skips, Cargo Baskets and Gas Racks into 14, 40ft HC containers, the cargo received was too wide to fit in to the containers in the conventional way and would have to be turned on its side. CEA would ready the containers for load out and transport them to port where the cargo would be shipped to Nigeria to be used in the offshore Oil & Gas sector.
PROCEDURE
Two wooden beams were placed on the floor in each of the containers, the cargo, on its side would be placed on these to ensure no damage occurred to the panels during loading, transportation and unloading. Lifting slings that would be used upon arrival in Nigeria were attached to each piece of cargo before packing.
A CEA reach stacker lifted each of the containers and placed them on to their sides upon wooden blocks. CEA fabricated specialised roller units to facilitate the loading, two units were placed underneath the front section to support the cargo while being loaded by forklift from the rear.
Mantiou 3.5 t forklift’s and 5 t pallet trucks loaded the cargo into the containers, both fork lifts and pallet trucks were covered with protective materials to prevent any damage to the cargo.
After all Mud Skips, Cargo Baskets and Gas Racks were loaded the CEA team lashed and secured them in place. Wooden chocks and stoppers were installed to further ensure no movement while transportation and shipping.
All necessary supporting documents were provided inside each container. A third party inspection team checked all loaded cargo and sealed the containers with the appropriate shipping tags. The containers were loaded on to flatbed trailers and transported to port to await shipping.

bracelets out of colorful string. the color
combos were endless & i loved learning
new styles & techniques. i moved on
to seed beads & pony beads & mixed
all kinds to create my own jewelry.
i loved being crafty. these days i
spend more time with paper and
scraps, but it all started with string.
what an amazing hobby! 2-13-2012."
