I purchased this tripod about 12 years ago and have rarely used it, at least today it has a use, this is one of the knobs for adjusting the camera plate. You can see the bubble indicating that it is not on the level!

Happy Macro Monday!

Macro Mondays "Low key" theme

Oak apple or oak gall is the common name for a large, round, vaguely apple-like gall commonly found on many species of oak.

Coques accrochées aux branches des chênes, d'abord vertes devenant brunes au fil des mois.

Les anciennes galles sont brunes, dures, légères et de consistance ligneuse.

La galle de Cynips kollari dite "noix de galle" est une galle de bourgeon.

Dimension: Sphère de 10 à 25 mm de diamètre.

Cette galle est dûe à une petite guêpe appelée Cynips Kollari.

La taille de cette petite guêpe n’excède pas 4 à 5 mm.

Ce sont les piqûres, les pontes et les morsures de larve infligées à un bourgeon qui sont à l'origine de ces galles appelées "cécidies".

Chaque sphère n’héberge qu'une seule larve de Cynips. Les galles se forment au printemps et sont mûres en automne; les adultes quittent ces sphères en août-septembre par un orifice bien visible.

Otis King's Pocket Calculator ~~ By Jackie~~

1956 Otis King's Pocket Calculator ~~ Versus ~~ A modern plastic calculator. Created for Macro Mondays theme "Evolution"

This Otis King's Pocket Calculator dates from around 1956. This particular model is Model K, and is characterized by scale 414 on the bottom and scale 423 on the top.

The six-inch cylindrical slide rule consists of a chromium-plated holder, a metal cylinder that slides into the holder, and a black metal tube that fits around and slides up and down on the cylinder. The rule is ten inches long when extended and equivalent to a linear slide rule 66 feet in length. Two short white lines on the tube and a black mark on the chrome cap at the end of the cylinder serve as the indicator. A paper spiral logarithmic scale is attached to the top half of the holder. A second, linear and logarithmic, paper scale is attached to the cylinder. The logarithmic scales are used to multiply and divide, and the linear scale is used to find logarithms.

At the end of the cylinder is engraved Made in England and at the top of the cylinder is printed the patent number.

The calculator weighs about 210 grams, so you would have needed a good strong pocket to place it in.

Not knowing anything about this calculator, I Googled it and found an email address for a gentleman called Richard Lyon, who kindly provided me with some of the above information.
