D18033. With the prospect of a war against Nazi Germany becoming more and more likely during the late 1930s, it was decided that a place of safety needed to be found where the Government and military leaders could carry out their vital tasks in the event of an aerial bombardment.
Storage rooms in a London basement under some Government buildings were therefore hastily converted into office and living accommodation where the Prime Minister and his staff could work in safety. These became known as the Cabinet War Rooms and they are now open to the public as a permanent museum and memorial to wartime leader Winston Churchill.
Amongst the many artefacts on display is this German four rotor Enigma cipher machine.

This is not my usual sort of thing to photograph but last September I had trekked to the head of Loch Tarsan to photograph an old croft (the ruins can be seen in the background) and found this old, rusted piece of equipment. I'm assuming that it is an old agriculture machine but I suppose that it could have been left over from the dam construction (Loch Tarsan is formed by a hydro-dam) or maybe forestry uses.
My Lego hobby isn’t my work, but sometimes there are area’s where they come together.
I work as a director for a Dutch company in the field of engineering plastics and elastomers, and as it happens another known Lego builder is on my team as well: Jaap Kroon, mostly know as TechnicJaap, is designing all kinds of technical wizardry during weekdays, but when I came with the idea to decorate my office with some of our actual machinery replicated in Lego, he was on board quickly.
We chose two machines we operate in our factory, and both of us designed and created the replicas in 1:13, conveniently easy then to use them as load for my Lego trucks as well.
Jaap build a Covestro Baule polyurethane casting machine. We operate a couple of these to produce polyurethane parts for use in for example offshore and energy markets.
I then build a Hartford LG1000 CNC milling machine. We run a couple of machines like this as well, to produce special parts for high-tech applications worldwide.
The machines can be put on a dropdeck trailer with matching Peterbilt truck. A nice eye catcher in the office, and always a cool conversation piece!

A rope making machine at the Scottish Maritime Museum, Irvine.
I shot this to capture the intricate details and textures of this machine. I wanted to illustrate the massive bulk of this old tool.
The unassembled photo copy machine lens.
I bought this for around 20 dollars and what an amazing piece of kit it is!
The quality of the glass used for the individual lenses are amazing!
Looking forward to experimenting with them and seeing what I can make from it.
If anyone has any knowledge on how lenses work or how they are made, please share your wisdom :)
The amazingly compact Espresso Engine, shown here with its proud inventor E.E. Caffin, is the first Nespresso machine suitable for business use. A single capsule yields about 22,000 shots of minifig-scale espresso.

El yerno y la nieta de una antigua profesora mía en el instituto. Se sentaron a tomar algo en la misma terraza donde estaba yo con mi familia, cuando vi que sacaron la guitarra pensé en la cámara que llevaba en el bolso para seguir probando el objetivo manual y hacerme más a él, y como mi marido me decía que nunca lo iba a tener más fácil pues me anime a preguntarle a mi antigua profesora si le importaba que les hiciera una foto.
No sólo no le importó, sino que además me dijo que los dos forman un grupo musical, su yerno toca y compone y la nieta canta, una voz preciosa por lo que estoy escuchando en la maqueta que tienen en YouTube y de la que os pongo el enlace. El grupo se llama Acoustic Soul Machine, disfrutad de su música :)

Thankfully Toronto's municipal government is still well-funded enough that when a major blizzard hits, it's rather quick to send out the massive snowplows to clear the snow off the streets.
The New Holland W130B Tool Carrier snow plough has an articulated body and is much more agile than a truck-bodied snowplow.
(The mixed-use of “snowplow” and “snow plough” is deliberate.)
The poor, forgotten third member of the trio of Martian machines from H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, the Embankment Machine is a digging and excavation automaton built by the Martians and used to shore up the walls of their pit beachhead.
It doesn't get much of a description in the novel, so I've used my imagination.

Out playing with another vintage film camera.
The Yashica 44 is designed for 127 film but can shoot 135 with a simple mod (hence the sprocket holes).
