Pataphysical Studios is building a Time Machine for our next art exhibit. On a balmy spring afternoon, Drs. Rindbrain and Fabio created more visualizations of what the Time Machine might look like.
We sketched out several ideas for the inside and outside walls, for discussion purposes. On each side of the main screen, we designed round portholes through which we could interact with our guests -- or show scenes from the past or future. Behind each porthole would be a magic box that could feature artifacts from distant times -- or the head of a historical figure, projected onto a ‘life cast’. The rest of the inside walls would be used for other interactive artworks such as the Crazy Clock, which sings quotes about time when you press its big green button.
On the outside walls, we sketched out a Face Box that you could stick your head in to get your picture taken. It would include an Infinity Mirror made of LED strips cycling through the colors of the rainbow, with a camera at the end of this light tunnel. We also sketched out where time wonderboxes could be placed on the side walls, proposing that the left wall focus on the past and the right wall on the future. A graphic timeline across both walls could support that idea.
It was a productive meeting and we look forward to presenting these ideas to our fellow doctors at the next Time Machine meeting.
Fire in the hole!

The Postcard
A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was posted in Bognor on Thursday the 22nd. September 1904 to:
Miss G. Moore,
c/o Mrs. Tanner,
Royal William Yard,
Stonehouse,
Devon.
The brief message on the divided back was as follows:
"just arrived here.
A lovely stay.
With love,
N."
The Bathing Machine
Note the bathing machines on the beach.
The bathing machine is a Victorian device that declined in popularity in the first decade of the 20th. century when mixed gender bathing became acceptable.
The machine allowed people (especially women) to enter the water without being seen in their bathing costume by the opposite sex. How times have changed!
There are two modern close-up coloured views of a preserved bathing machine on the pepandtim photostream - if you do a tags search, the codes 54BML98 and 34EAS32 will get you there.
Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis is a seaside resort in West Sussex on the south coast of England, 55.5 miles (89 km) south-west of London.
The resort was developed by Sir Richard Hotham in the late 18th. century on what was a sandy, undeveloped coastline. It has been claimed that Hotham and his new resort are portrayed in Jane Austen's unfinished novel Sanditon.
The resort grew slowly in the first half of the 19th. century, but grew rapidly following the coming of the railway in 1864.
In 1929 the area was chosen by advisers as a suitable place for King George V to recuperate, which led to its regal suffix, by royal consent.
Butlin's has been present in the town since the early 1930's when an amusement park and zoo were opened. A holiday camp followed in 1960, and this has more recently moved towards hotel accommodation with modern amenities.
The First Female Flight Attendant
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 22nd. September 1904, Ellen Church was born in Cresco, Iowa. She became the first female flight attendant.
After graduating from Cresco High School, Church studied nursing, and worked in a San Francisco hospital. She was a pilot as well as a registered nurse.
Steve Stimpson, the manager of the San Francisco office of Boeing Air Transport (BAT), would not hire her as a pilot, but did pass along her suggestion to put nurses on board aeroplanes to calm the public's fear of flying.
In 1930, BAT hired Church as head stewardess, and she recruited seven others for a three-month trial period.
The stewardesses, or 'Sky Girls' as BAT called them, had to be registered nurses, 'Single, younger than 25 years old; weigh less than 115 pounds [52 kg]; and stand less than 5 feet, 4 inches tall [1.63 m]'.
In addition to attending to the passengers, they were expected to, when necessary, help with hauling luggage, fuelling and assisting pilots to push the aircraft into hangars. However, the salary was good at $125 a month.
Church became the first stewardess to fly. On the 15th. May 1930, she embarked on a Boeing 80A for a 20-hour flight from Oakland/San Francisco to Chicago, with 13 stops and 14 passengers.
Death of Ellen Church
The innovation was a resounding success - the other airlines followed BAT's example over the next few years, but an injury from an automobile accident terminated Church's career after 18 months.
A horse riding accident ended her life on the 22nd. August 1965.

Another view of the 353 pulling up to top off its water tank. Taken at the WMSTR (Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion) in Rollag, Minnesota. They even have their own steam engine #353 and railroad track that travels through the grounds. On the car behind the engine and coal/water car is an early 1900's Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company tractor.

This is the Singer 500A, which was a fancy machine in its day - the Singer company itself considered it "the greatest sewing machine ever built." Singer enthusiasts have nick-named it "The Rocketeer" because of its retro-futuristic styling. It can do lots of decorative stitches and can take a double needle for attractive top stitching. It's the machine my mother had when I was growing up. According to the serial number, this one was made in 1961.

We definitely have a feeling of autumn this Labor Day. The first weekend of September has me waking up to 43F and it feels a little nip outside. We will be moving back into the mid eighties this week
Notice all the belts on a threshing machine. It is not a very safe place for children unless they are carefully supervised. I can remember as a youngster being continually warned to stay away from the machine.

Vending machine culture is a very special culture in Japan. Everywhere you go, you'll sure see one on the street. There're many kind of machine available, from toy to tobacco, beer, to soft drink. Even some of the ramen shop need you to buy food ticket from the machine. One special thing about the softdrink machine is they have hot drink, this is very helpful especially the weather is cold during the winter.
