I would like to come back to the issue of water – and the shortage of it – at Versailles. Ever since Louis XIV started building water fountains in the gardens of Versailles in the 1640's, until his death in 1715, kingdom engineers have been struggling with the problem of getting enough water to satisfy the increasing demand. All kinds of schemes have been devised as solutions. Some were fairly simple like tapping nearby ponds or digging trenches to create new ponds (the Grand Canal; the Swiss Pool). Others were more ambitious like diverting rivers (the Bièvre; the Eure). But one of the most interesting projects was building this machine called The Marly Machine. This contraption was built along the Seine River, about seven kilometres north of Versailles. It is pictured here in a 1723 painting by Pierre-Denis Martin, which hangs inside the palace. What the machine did – or was supposed to do – was to tap water from the Seine River, lift it some 100 metres above the level of the river and channel it into an aqueduct that would then take it to a reservoir at the Palace. A series of waterwheels was constructed in the river which activated a series of pumps to lift the water. The lifting was done in three stages. It worked, although not as well as it was supposed to. Consequently, full capacity was never achieved and the machine was plagued with frequent breakdowns and all kinds of leaks that prevented it from being a real solution to the water supply problem at Versailles. Remnants of the machine can still be seen along the river.

Coca-Cola has recently introduced a digital vending machine, allowing its thirsty consumers to select and purchase beverages by using an interactive touch screen. A digitalized Coke machine may be found at the UPS Store on campus, in the Oglesby Union.

The ubiquitous: Don't-tip-the-vending-machine-over-on-your-body-or-you-might-die warning.
But here's the good news. This stick figure looks like he or she has superhuman strength: The stick figure's arms are powerful enough to support the weight of the vending machine. I guess the message is eat candy and you, too, can lift a vending machine.

After the cap rail lamination was cut to size and surfaced in the planer, the saw is used in a straight-line ripping operation to bevel the material prior to profiling on the shaper.
A bathing machine restored to its former glory outside a hotel overlooking the sea at Eastbourne.
There is an identical door at the other end of the machine. Obviously the bather ascended the landward set of removable steps, the steps were then unhooked and stacked away, and the machine was towed out to bathing depth.
The steps would then be re-hooked in place on the seaward end of the machine, and the bather, having changed, would descend them and swim.
The process would then be reversed.
You can see an early photograph of bathing machines in use at Bognor Regis if you do a tags search on 33BM72, and bathing machines on the beach at Sheringham on 31STP76.
A bathing machine is a large, sturdy and heavy piece of equipment, and when you think about it, it would need to be in order not to be moved about by the incoming waves.
A sample of the free machining at a class at Perth Embroiderers Guild - some of it is on soluble, some on net, and some on chiffon. It will ultimately become a bag. - to be posted later.
