My notes from Neal Ashby's presentation for AIGA DC's Salt, Pepper & Design event (January 18, 2011)
Note the step - the sheet metal dropouts on this old Gillott are much narrower than the derailleur hanger body. I'll build this back up with some stainless sheet metal, and cut and file it to match the curvature of this elegant dropout

My Death Note came without shoes. I contacted another DN owner here and her doll was without shoes also.
Dominatrix garb with a weird doll.... I guess I find the combination strange not the doll itself.
Note: This is not my collection, but rather a user named 'Shawn' who used to have a Flickr account by the user name 'accurate cobweb'. Sadly he was only active for a while before he deleted his account. Luckily, I had saved all his images!
I borrowed this sign, with permission, from a fellow-Flickrite.
Like him, I get pissed-off when I get 200+ views on a picture in a couple of hours, with nary a comment, or someone who faves a string of similar pictures (not flowers or landscapes) without commenting.

A client invited us to hear Sam Ham. He is a very motivational speaker from Idaho. Holly and I were delighted to be able to go.
Seen here arriving at Ryde St Johns Road on 5th August 1976 is a 7 car rake of ex-LT Standard Stock in all-over blue livery. Note the variety of different car roofs and door configurations on the stabled cars on the right of the shot reflecting the large number of different origins of cars that eventually (rather ironically) became known as 'Standard Stock'.

Notes taken from the Book - Ballyfermot Building a Community 1948 - 2006 Ken Larkin

Inchicore and Ballyfermot Co-Operative Society Ltd
Inchicore Co-Operative Society Ltd began in the Workman’s Club in Inchicore in 1946 and traded in the Inchicore area successfully. They applied to the housing department of Dublin Corporation in 1949 for permission to open Sarsfield Co-Operative Society within Ballyfermot and to operate a grocery retailers. A petition of over 1,100 signatures to grant the Co-Op the tenancy on Decies Road was sent to Dublin Corporation along with the application. The people that signed the petition were all residents of Ballyfermot and clearly wanted the society opened. It read as follows.
We the undersigned Residents of Ballyfermot Housing area petition Dublin Corporation to grant Inchicore Co-Operative Society Ltd, the tenancy of one of the Corporation-owned shops on Decies Road in Ballyfermot housing scheme for the purpose of Co-Operative grocery retailing in the interest of the residents in Ballyfermot
As there were a small number of shops for such a large population in Ballyfermot the people felt that these shops were charging exorbitant prices. In 1949 permission was granted by Dublin Corporation, for the Ballyfermot Co- Operative Society to open at 41 Decies Road Ballyfermot. A shop manager and staff were employed and they began to recruit people to become members of the Society. As a member, they had to commit to paying one shilling per week. Unemployment was high so this was a big commitment to some people that had very little. There was a good response and approx 500 members joined and most of these were resident in Ballyfermot. It ran very successfully for three years. September 1952 the committee were holding an outdoor meeting near the Co-Op on Decies Road. The reason behind the meeting was to stress to the people how important it was to have a Co-Op in a working class area and to recruit new members. On the committee that was running the Co-Op, there were some non-political people; also, there were four people that were attached to the Irish Worker’s League, which had affiliation to Communism. The word Communist was a taboo subject in 1950s-60s not only in Ireland but also around the world. The four people involved in the Irish Workers Party were Joe Deasy, who was chairman of Ballyfermot Co-Op Jeffery Palmer, Maisy McElroy, and Sean Mcgee. During the meeting, there were interruptions, and barracking, by some of the public and the speakers were not allowed to speak.
Questions were asked from some of the people gathered for the meeting. One of the questions that were asked ‘Was it true that there were Communists on the Co-Op Committee’.
Joe Deasy answered ‘He did not intend to discuss any member of the Co-Op or their politics as they were irrelevant to the existence and promotion of the Co-Op movement’.
The Co-Op movement was non-sectarian and non-political in the sense that anybody could become a member of the society or a member of the committee irrespective of their politics. One person from the crowd shouted if he could get up on the platform to address a few questions to Joe Deasy. So he emerged from the crowd and had prepared questions written out. He asked was the chairman a Communist and were there Communists on the committee. He said that he was representing the local clergy. Joe Deasy repeated what he said before and then the person was asked to leave the platform. The following day he got a phone call from a Mr McGowan who was on the Co-Op Committee but was not a member of the Irish Worker’s League and he wanted to clear the air from the night before. He asked Joe if he was a member of the Irish Worker’s League and Joe said that he was and so were three other people on the committee. McGowan was shocked by this information and he said to Joe that the clergy were behind the unrest and that he had experience of the clergy being opposed to something in the past for various reasons and that they will be determined to see this through to the end. Joe said that they would have no objection to any of the priest’s joining the Co-Op Committee but they would have been treated the same as everyone else on the committee and they felt that the priest’s did not want it on that basis.
The following Sunday in the three churches that served Ballyfermot and Inchicore the priest’s spoke from the pulpit about the previous outdoor meeting and how the chairman of the Co-Op was asked questions which he refused to answer. Therefore, as a result of this they decided that there were communist issues involved and the faithful were asked not to be members of the Co-Op or to patronise the shop in question. This had affected Joe personally arising out of being called off the altar not by his name but chairperson of the society and it was well known whom the priest’s were referring to. Joe’s parents who attended the church locally and who did good work in the area got an inclination of what was going to be said from the pulpit and decided that they would get mass in an outside parish of James Street. This episode was very painful for Joe, and caused great anxiety in their family.
Sean McGee’s parents who lived in Kilkenny were approached by the Garda and told what was happening in Ballyfermot and this meant a break in his relationship with his family for two years.
Sunday, the 2 November 1952, the Sunday Press wrote an article condemning the Co-Op Committee and their communist activities and calling for the Co-Op to be shut down. A letter followed this from the newly formed Sarsfield Tenants Association to the Alderman, Councillors, and T.D.s of the area condemning the exposure of communist activities within the Co-Op.

Everybody who knows the slightest thing about communist technique knows that its first objective is contact. What better contact than the unsuspecting members of a Co-Op. Here let us state that the other Co-Ops and the producer Co-Ops in the country escaped that evil influence. It was Ballyfermot’s misfortune to be selected for infiltration. How appropriate are the names of Ballyfermot, Sarsfield, Decies, and Cremona, they might have been changed to Lenin, Stalin, and perhaps Deasy Road.
Therefore, public opinion changed against them and a picket was put on the shop. To save the Co-Op the four people admitted that they were members of the Communist Party and offered to resign from the committee but they would not resign from the Association as they to do so they felt that it would go against their Civil Liberties. Tim Graham one of the committee members met with the Irish Civil Liberties Association and explained what was happening. They decided that there was not a Civil Liberty involved in this case. The Co-Op Association was very disappointed with their decision. They could not understand how the Pulpit was being used to destroy a Society or a Co-Op movement that was set up to help the people especially working class people. The Co-Op survived for a few months after this. April 1953 the Co-Op had to close as it was not getting enough custom to be commercially viable.

From photographer's notes - "ARCADIA
Arcadia station with overhead all completed in both directions. They are putting on the finishing touches to the Station. Signal crews from Mass Electric were working on the gates. They had to build a small building to house all of the electronic gear that operate the Flashers and Gates.
MONROVIA STATION & PARKING GARAGE
The Parking Garage is finished and the Station appears to be finished. We were lucky to get a distant shot of the Test Car in the Station. I think it later moved West and was taken back to MTA. We saw the other Car going West on the 210 Freeway towards Sierra Madre Villa Terminal.
MONROVIA SHOPS (Div.24)
Finishing touches on the track work and the lead track in and out of the yard onto Shamrock Av.. The last of the Overhead is being installed. Shop buildings seem to be all completed.
Much work going on inside the buildings.
Things are moving fast and completion is in sight. There will maybe one or more times we go out but there is less new things to take pictures of.
PICTURE #1446, This is a wiring diagram inside one of the Crossing Gates. That is just for one gate. There are eight gates at each intersection. Also there are small gates to protect pedestrians on the sidewalks."
