WDWRR Engine No.3 - the "Roger E. Broggie"
This locomotive was named after Roger Edward Broggie, who led the effort of acquiring the locomotives for the Walt Disney World Railroad. Mr. Broggie was an American mechanical engineer who worked with Walt Disney and the Walt Disney Company. He is considered the first Disney Imagineer. He also helped Walt Disney build the Carolwood Pacific railroad and the EPCOT model.
Originally planned to be named after Roy O. Disney, but given that he did not want his name attached to the locomotive nearly identical to the No. 1 named after Walt Disney, the No. 4 was named after him instead.

A statue of Isambard Kingdom Brunel on Temple Way, Bristol, Avon.
The statue was presented to Bristol by the Bristol and West Building Society, it was created by sculpture by John Doubleday and unveiled 26th May 1982. It was moved from its original site at Broad Quay in 2006, the bicentenary of Brunel's birth.
Not only does it now front the modern offices of Osborne Clarke the firm of solicitors who did much of Brunel's legal work, but also waymarks the new additional access to Brunel's great station, created with development of Temple Quay. Another statue by Brunel, by the same artist, is located at Paddington Station, the eastern end of his great railway.
was an English mechanical and civil engineer who is considered "one of the most ingenious and prolific figures in engineering history", "one of the 19th century engineering giants", and "one of the greatest figures of the Industrial Revolution, changed the face of the English landscape with his ground breaking designs and ingenious constructions". Brunel built dockyards, the Great Western Railway, a series of steamships including the first propeller-driven transatlantic steamship and numerous important bridges and tunnels. His designs revolutionised public transport and modern engineering.
Though Brunel's projects were not always successful, they often contained innovative solutions to long-standing engineering problems. During his career, Brunel achieved many engineering "firsts", including assisting in the building of the first tunnel under a navigable river and development of SS Great Britain, the first propeller-driven ocean-going iron ship, which was at the time (1843) also the largest ship ever built.
Brunel astonished Britain by proposing to extend the Great Western Railway westward to North America by building steam-powered iron-hulled ships. He designed and built three ships that revolutionised naval engineering.

March, 1996. My engineering department colleague, office-mate and friend Kathy checks out with amusement a few Polaroid photos that I had taken of our colleagues and fellow employees. I was experimenting with an old (circa 1960) Polaroid camera. So while she was perusing my previous snaps, I took one of her doing so! Luckily, daylight was still coming in the large window behind me here.
Just for fun, I had multiple calendars on my office wall. They are on the month of March which began on a Friday in that year. After some quick calendar research I determined that the year was 1996. I can see that the calendar under the wall clock featured paintings of classic diners. The calendar at Kathy’s left elbow featured historic scenes of Long Beach, California. I can tell that the specific scene depicted was of Daugherty Field, now known as Long Beach Airport (LGB). We can see the gas-o-meter storage tank and Signal Hill with its multiple oil derricks in the background of the photo.
Kathy was a Mechanical Engineering graduate from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo.
Circa 1978. Long Beach State, or more formally California State University Long Beach was originally named Los Angeles-Orange County State College due to its location near the delineation between those two counties. It was aptly named as most students resided in one of those counties and commuted to campus.
This photo shows members of the Long Beach State Chapter of Pi Tau Sigma, the national Mechanical Engineering honor society. The group held 'ice breaker' socials every semester so that new members could socialize with those who were already members. The honor societies for the other engineering disciplines did the same within their own ranks.
This one was held on a sunny Spring day at the beautiful Newport Beach home of Professor E. Mijares, Jr.
The two young men on theft, both from Huntington Beach, California were friends before college, I seem to recall. The young man on the right grew up in Healdsburg, California in Sonoma County - wine country.
Pure 1970's!

This necessitated expensive construction techniques and new bridges and viaducts, and the two-mile-long Box Tunnel. One controversial feature was the wide gauge, a "broad gauge" of 7 ft 1⁄4 in (2,140 mm), instead of what was later to be known as 'standard gauge' of 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm). The wider gauge added to passenger comfort but made construction much more expensive and caused difficulties when eventually it had to interconnect with other railways using the narrower gauge. As a result of the Regulating the Gauge of Railways Act 1846, the gauge was changed to standard gauge throughout the GWR network.

King's Cross Station, London, England, UK.
King's Cross Station is a London railway terminus, built in 1852, at the southern end of the East Coast Main Line. The name derives from a monument to King George IV which was demolished in 1845. The original architect was George Turnbull. The present building complex was completed in 2014, with increased capacity and retail areas. It was conferred the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage, The Europa Nostra Award, in 2013.
• Sir Nigel Gresley 1876-1941 was the Chief Mechanical Engineer for the Great Northern Railway, later to become the London & North Eastern Railway, based in an office at this station. He designed powerful, elegant, fast locomotives including The Flying Scotsman and Mallard, the fastest steam loco in the world. His designs set new standards of comfort, speed and safety in what were the first High Speed Trains.
This 1·3 times life size bronze sculpture, created by Hazel Reeves, was unveiled on 5th April, 2016 amidst controversy. The statue was to feature a mallard duck at Sir Nigel's feet, symbolising the record breaking locomotive, as well as a nod to his love of waterfowl. The trustees of the Gresley Society, who commissioned the work, acceded to the demands from two of Gresley’s grandsons, who said that the duck was disrespectful so must be omitted.

Nikola Tesla (1856 – 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. More than 100 years ago, Tesla anticipated the age of wireless communication and wireless power transmission.
"He was the Mozart of scientists. His ideas came out fully formed. That is his genius. . . He had the mind of a scientist, but he had the voice of a prophet." [David Grubin, writer and producer of a 2016 PBS documentary about Nikola Tesla]
Here is a link to another documentary titled "Tesla: Master of Lightning" produced in 2000, and also broadcast on PBS:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=IirCAFFgVNw
"This documentary does a wonderful job of conveying the genius that was Nikola Tesla. Watch this documentary and then look around your house. You'll be amazed in the ways in which Tesla impacts our everyday lives. His death ray is also examined and a good discussion of particle beam weaponry follows. Reagan's Star Wars program is also discussed, along with HAARP, the super secret microwave array in a remote part of Alaska.
"Tesla was truly a man who knew the secrets of electricity. His thoughts on capturing free energy and transmitting it around the world was truly a humanitarian concept and the video explains how he was stopped by greedy capitalists and how he died as a penniless man.
"Like many geniuses, Tesla was not a conventional man. He gave his life to realize his visions, while others made millions with his inventions. Tragically, he died nearly forgotten."

Tesla Motors was named after him and perhaps Tesla's image should be on USA's currency too.
(The formula on the banknote is used to derive magnetic field strength T, named after Tesla. One tesla is equal to one weber per square meter, where a weber is the unit of magnetic flux. For example, the magnetic field strength at the Earth's surface ranges from 25 to 65 microteslas.)

It was a sunny and still morning when I met Nicole. She didn't answer straight away when I asked if I might take her photo. There was a look of uncertainty which caused me to worry that she was going to refuse. I continued to try and explain my project a little more before she said yes.
Nicole was visiting Glastonbury from Switzerland. Her English was very good but perhaps I was speaking to fast – as I do. Maybe she understood me perfectly well and she was just considering my motives and weighing up in her mind whether it was a good thing to do. Once Nicole agreed, she was fully committed. We chatted for a bit and when it came to taking the photos she was very helpful offering to move around for me.
Nicole is a student. She has almost completed her degree in Mechanical Engineering. I smiled when I heard this because it was the subject that I took. Nicole is spending 4 days in Glastonbury, she hopes to be able to visit Stonehenge. She is interested in spiritual matters and pathways in life.
When I asked why she decided to study engineering she told me that it suited her logical mind. For her final project she has written a program to model power sources. This will help facilitate matching supply against demand.
I wondered if Nicole might know about Hinkley Point nuclear power stations. The new one, Hinkley Point C, if it goes ahead, will Europe's largest construction project ever. The existing power station is on the Bristol channel and clearly visible from the tor. I asked Nicole if she would like to see it. She got up then said that she would need her glasses.
After she had seen the power station, she took her glasses off again for the photos.
Thank you Nicole for agreeing to be in my project. It was good to meet you. I hope that you enjoy your remaining days in Somerset and wish you well with your engineering.

Summary: Pioneering female aeronautical engineer Laurel van der Wal (d. 2009) (later Laurel van der Wal Roennau) had had a brief career as a model, art instructor, and deputy sheriff before training to be a pilot during World War II; she returned to University of California to become an aeronautical engineer, winning the Society of Women Engineers Achievement Award in 1961 when she was head of bioastronautics at Space Technology Laboratories. The 1961 press release announcing award emphasized that the "pretty head of bioastronautics at Space Technology Laboratories, Inc." was a "former model" even though the Los Angeles Times had recently named her 1961 Woman Scientist of the Year. She was a specialist in engineering problems of manned space flight, including effects of weightlessness, radiation protection, and development of data handling and processing systems
