These massive radiators are great. They were designed in teh Victorian era especially to heat the massive spaces of Medieval Cathedrals and can still be found today in some places. Great bit of engineering if nothing else. loved the fins.

The most compact plate camera known to me. This 9x12 cm specimen probably dating from the 1920s features a Schneider Xenar 135 mm f/4.5 lens and the dial Compur shutter.
According to camera-wiki.org the shutter was manufactured sometime between 1914 and 1920 and the lens between June 1928 and Februar 1929.
Flee market find. Works fine and looks like new on the inside. Pics to come 😀
Der Benz Patent-Motorwagen Nummer 1 ist das erste von Carl Benz erbaute Automobil mit Verbrennungsmotor. Das Patent für das dreirädrige „Fahrzeug mit Gasmotorenbetrieb“ wurde von Benz am 29. Januar 1886 eingereicht und als DRP Nr. 37435 am 2. November 1886 erteilt. Am 3. Juli 1886 führte Benz die erste öffentliche Probefahrt mit dem Unikat in Mannheim durch. Er gilt im Rahmen der vielseitigen Geschichte des Automobils als der erste praxistaugliche Kraftwagen der Welt und setzt somit die Geburtsstunde des modernen Automobils.

You'd think that the patent for grasshoppers would be well established by now. Perhaps this is a new model. ;-)

This is my rendition of Carl Benz' classic Patent Motorcar number 1; the first production auto. I've been obsessing over this model for the last few weeks trying to get the ornateness and lightness of the model just right. I then had to work on the stand :)
The development of steam locomotives has seen many strange designs put into service, with the double-Fairlie being one such design. Built to Fairlie's Patent, the locomotive superstructure rests on two articulating power units housing the wheels, cylinders, and drawgear. This design allows large locomotives to navigate the sharp curves typical of most narrow gauge railways.
This example, "David Lloyd George" (or "Dafydd Lloyd George" in Welsh) was built brand new in 1992 at the Ffestiniog Railway's workshops at Boston Lodge. Thanks to the way the Ffestiniog Railway was preserved - it is now the worlds oldest surviving railway company, and one of few remaining companies brought into existance by acts of parliament - David Lloyd George can rightfully be considered the sixth double Fairlie class member, and not a replica.
Beautiful kit. Remarkable condition for it’s age. Wish I could say the same about myself!

Sometimes we lose context in our critiques and judge these vintage cameras like they are new models on the shelf. It shouldn’t matter now what the comparisons were between them 50 to a 100 years ago, or how they may compare to cameras made today. Now they are all beautiful collector items and an important part of history!
The Benz Patent-Motorwagen ("patent motorcar"), built in 1885, is widely regarded as the world's first automobile, that is, a vehicle designed to be propelled by an internal combustion engine. The original cost of the vehicle in 1885 was 600 imperial German marks, approximately 150 US dollars (equivalent to $3,998 in 2016). The vehicle was awarded the German patent number 37435, for which Karl Benz applied on January 29, 1886. Following official procedures, the date of the application became the patent date for the invention once the patent was granted, which occurred in November of that year.
Benz's wife, Bertha, financed the development process. According to modern law, she would have therefore received the patent rights, but married women were not allowed to apply for patents at the time.
Benz unveiled his invention to the public on July 3, 1886, on the Ringstrasse in Mannheim.
About 25 Patent-Motorwagens were built between 1886 and 1893.
After developing a successful gasoline-powered two-stroke piston engine in 1873, Benz focused on developing a motorized vehicle while maintaining a career as a designer and manufacturer of stationary engines and their associated parts.
The Benz Patent-Motorwagen was a three-wheeled automobile with a rear-mounted engine. The vehicle contained many new inventions. It was constructed of steel tubing with woodwork panels. The steel-spoked wheels and solid rubber tires were Benz's own design. Steering was by way of a toothed rack that pivoted the unsprung front wheel. Fully elliptic springs were used at the back along with a live axle and chain drive on both sides. A simple belt system served as a single-speed transmission, varying torque between an open disc and drive disc.
The first Motorwagen used the Benz 954 cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine with trembler coil ignition. This new engine produced 500 watts (2⁄3 hp) at 250 rpm in the Patent-Motorwagen, although later tests by the University of Mannheim showed it to be capable of 670 W (0.9 hp) at 400 rpm. It was an extremely light engine for the time, weighing about 100 kg (220 lb). Although its open crankcase and drip oiling system would be alien to a modern mechanic, its use of a pushrod-operated poppet valve for exhaust would be quite familiar. A large horizontal flywheel stabilized the single-cylinder engine's power output. An evaporative carburettor was controlled by a sleeve valve to regulate power and engine speed. The first model of the Motorwagen had not been built with a carburetor, rather a basin of fuel soaked fibers that supplied fuel to the cylinder by evaporation.
Benz later made more models of the Motorwagen, model number 2 had 1.1 kW (1.5 hp)) engine, and model number 3 had 1.5 kW (2 hp) engine, allowing the vehicle to reach a maximum speed of approximately 16 km/h (10 mph). The chassis was improved in 1887 with the introduction of wooden-spoke wheels, a fuel tank, and a manual leather shoe brake on the rear wheels.
Bertha Benz, married to Karl, chose to publicize the Patent-Motorwagen in a unique manner: She took the Patent-Motorwagen No. 3, supposedly without her husband's knowledge, and drove it on the first long-distance automobile road trip to demonstrate its feasibility. That trip occurred in early August 1888, as the entrepreneurial lady took her sons Eugen and Richard, fifteen and fourteen years old, respectively, on a ride from Mannheim through Heidelberg, and Wiesloch (where she took on ligroin as a fuel at the city pharmacy, making it the first filling station in history), to her maternal hometown of Pforzheim.
As well as being the driver, Benz acted as mechanic on the drive, cleaning the carburetor with her hat pin and using a garter to insulate a wire. She refueled at the local pharmacy in Wiesloch. As the brakes wore down, Benz asked a local shoemaker to nail leather on the brake blocks, thereby inventing brake linings. After sending a telegram to her husband of her arrival in Pforzheim, she spent the night at her mother's house and returned home three days later. The trip covered 194 km (121 mi) in total.
In Germany, a parade of antique automobiles celebrates this historic trip of Bertha Benz every two years. In 2008, the Bertha Benz Memorial Route was officially approved as a route of industrial heritage of mankind, because it follows Bertha Benz's tracks of the world's first long-distance journey by automobile in 1888. Now everybody can follow the 194 km (121 mi) of signposted route from Mannheim via Heidelberg to Pforzheim (Black Forest) and back.
