Fishing used to be the pastime of kings. Not the sport of kings, nor the breakfast of champions, mainly because fishing isn’t a breakfast or –perhaps less obviously- a sport. It used to be either hard work, if you had to cast your nets to make a living, or a pastime. The pastime of kings. Or the pastime of men in general that made them feel like kings (not generals).
This motorcycle was used on the Brooklands Outer Circuit by E.J. 'Boy' Tubb until the closure of the Track in 1939. With it he won his 'Gold Star' with a race lap of 102mph. One of only six models made, it is exactly as it finished its last Brooklands race, apart from a modification to the gear change linkage and a new Brooklands Silencer, made by the owner, who purchased the bike in 1935. Loaned by Mr. E.J. Tubb.
Clearly, Peerless was once a thriving town. It has several grain elevators. A big restaurant. Churches. A good size school. The problem is that when I was there most of those things seemed empty--abandoned, even. The church was overgrown. The school was clearly empty at a time when school should still have been in session. One of the elevators is falling down (though the others seem used). The big restaurant was listed for sale and seemed totally devoid of life. And there were far more abandoned homes than ones that are lived in. Peerless was very very quiet. I had to wonder what happened here, that so many people left? This place used to have plenty of amenities. But when I was there the only activity I saw was a tumbleweed blowing across main street.
"Peerless was originally a development of the Great Northern Railroad. It appears that Peerless once went by the name of Tande or Battleson, but because of the popularity of a local beer the name was changed to Peerless...Dutch Henry's Bar...is a namesake of an outlaw who roamed these parts in the late 1800s. A display of photos on the walls tells quite a bit about the history of the surrounding area. The original town, settled in 1914, was a few miles away. Like many other places in northeast Montana, the laying of the railroad bed required the town to be moved to the railroad." -travelmt.com

Hot and cold water enter the mixer via the channels on the left. When the knob is in the off position, both passages are closed by the metal plate shown on the right. As the knob is turned, water passes through the holes in the plate and returns around the outer edge (back toward the camera's location) to a passage which goes to the shower head.

Geiser a fabriqué des moteurs à essence, il y a eu un autre constructeur (Cleveland, Ohio) qui produisit des véhicules nommés Peerless, les deux entreprises ne semblent pas liées.

Dark-colored sandstone at top = Peerless Formation
Light-colored sandstone = Sawatch Sandstone
Pinkish rocks just above road level = Pikes Peak Granite
The rock record does not completely document Earth's history. In stratigraphic sections, missing time is represented by unconformities - surfaces of erosion and/or non-deposition of sediments. There are four types of unconformities: paraconformities, disconformities, nonconformities, and angular unconformities.
Seen here is the Precambrian-Cambrian unconformity at Manitou Springs, Colorado. The slightly tilted layers in the upper part of the photo are Cambrian sandstones. The underlying, non-layered, pinkish-colored rocks just above road level are part of the Pikes Peak Granite. About one-half a billion years is missing at the contact. Erosion surfaces such as this that have sedimentary rocks over igneous rocks are called nonconformities.
This contact is a megasequence boundary - the base of the Sauk Megasequence. Regionally recognizable packages of sedimentary rocks bounded by major unconformities are known as megasquences, or Sloss sequences (named after geologist L.L. Sloss, 1913-1996). The bounding unconformities were caused by erosion during regressions. Continental margins have more complete sedimentary successions, whereas craton interiors have more incomplete successions. The names for North America's megasequences are (from oldest to youngest): Sauk, Tippecanoe, Kaskaskia, Absaroka, Zuni, and Tejas.
Stratigraphy: Peerless Formation (Upper Cambrian) over Sawatch Sandstone (Upper Cambrian) over Pikes Peak Batholith (late Mesoproterozoic, 1.08 Ga)
Locality: roadcut along the western side of Manitou Avenue (= Business Route 24), northwestern side of the town of Manitou Springs, west of Colorado Springs, western El Paso County, central Colorado, USA (38° 52’ 08.02” North latitude, 104° 55’ 31.83” West longitude)

Here's the entire band. Looks like a bluegrass band, and plays impeccably, with a repertoire of old southern folk songs. I liked.

In 1914, with war looming, the Sturmey-Archer factory turned to making armaments and an agreement was signed with Sears Roebuck USA, to allow them use of Sturmey-Archers US patents. Sears paid 500 Pounds and a royalty of each hub produced. The USA produced hubs were branded type “S” but were identical to the F type hub produced in England
