slaters are part of the diet of the black gnaphosidae. There seem to be several species around here that can negate the armour plating..possibly by just tipping them over.
From left to right: bright nickel, dull nickel, bright chrome, dull chrome.
If I were a better photographer, I could probably get a better representation of the actual finish on these, but here's a brief description to help visualize the different finishes. The bright chrome is the shiny-est silvery finish--just like the chrome parts you'd see on a motorcycle. The bright nickel is similarly shiny, but it's a darker finish. It almost looks like it has a brownish tinge compared to the chrome. The dull chrome has a satin finish that looks light blue compared to the others. The dull nickel is most similar to titanium, but still a little more silver than grey.
The chrome is actually a second layer over the nickel. The platers say that the chrome is the most durable. The nickel will tarnish over time in a way that the chrome won't.

This is a photo of the former Superchrome Plating in Los Angeles, CA. Superchrome specialized in plating industrial parts primarily for the aerospace industry. I don't know when this picture was taken or who took it. Based on the vehicles just barely visible on the right hand side of the building I would guess it was taken in the 1950's or earlier. The building and tower were demolished around 1995 as part of a CERCLA Superfund removal by the U.S. EPA. I was a Response Manager for the contractor that conducted the cleanup and demolition of the buildings. I don't remember where I got this photo, it may have been salvaged from the office in the building before we demolished it.
The 100' tower was used to hoist long parts that were dipped into a 45' deep chrome vat below it. Unfortunately that vat as well as others leaked chromium contamination into the ground. We had to excavate a lot of soil that was then treated and disposed of at a hazardous waste landfill. You can see the bank of 3 large transformers just over the right side of the Superchrome sign, these plating shops used a lot of electricity in their process.
On a side note, one of my laborers rescued a kitten from inside the building before we demolished it. It followed my crew around the site for a while walking through the chromium contamination. I remember its paws were yellow from the chromium. I told my wife about the kitten and she said "don't come home without it". I live near Seattle so that meant taking it to the vet, getting a pet carrier and putting it on a plane. The cat (Hank) lived to be 16 years old and had a very good life.
Imagine if each of these windows had magic glass that showed you their view 365 days before they were removed. Better yet, what if you could see the outdoors on one side and indoors on the other and the view wasn't static? Think of the potential content this collection represents!

Hippo Hardware is an eclectic building salvage store specializing in hardware, lighting, architecture and plumbing from 1860-1960. We offer assorted collectibles, trinkets, whatnots, and whoziwhatsits depending on what we get in. The spirit of Hippo Hardware is to rejoice in the individual, the unique, and the original.
Hippo Hardware was officially established in 1976 after the founders Steven Miller and Stephen Oppenheim decided to turn a life of swashbuckling adventures into a second life of swashbuckling adventures. We live in the local, even for our customers far away. That means you will probably hear a story about burying a Porsche in a state park while you are asking about a faucet or see photos of our cashier's Saint Bernards while you're paying for a light fixture. We strongly support community projects, teachers, artists, adventurers, dreamers, and one-man-bands.
If you're looking for a hard to find hardware pattern or can't find the match to your lamp shade, we'd be happy to tell you if we have it, seen it, or know where you could get it.
To make sure you get what you need, we offer the following services:
Customizing - We do our best to make sure it looks just right. Our lighting shop can customize length, finishes, plating, and configuration. Our plumbing department will coordinate refinishing with local companies. The hardware department is able to darken, refinish, clean, and rebuild. Our services can vary depending on staff so please contact us with your project details.
Conveniently browse our online section of items! Please note: our online section is much smaller than our store selection, we do offer returns for online purchases but do not refund original shipping or provide return shipping. We ship on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Trade in - Bring in what you have and we will offer you in store credit or cash. Email pictures first if you'd like to talk about it before you get here.
Mortise lock repair - Hippo is the only hardware store in Portland that offers full mortise lock repair--including French Door mortises and closet mortises! Our repair shop can diagnose and repair your mortise lock or perhaps we have a replacement if a repair is not an option. Shop prices are $80/hour. Please call our store and ask for Colin to speak about your repair!
Hippo Hardware has three glorious floors and 30,000 sq feet of building salvage to explore. Our inventory, and staff, is divided into four departments: Hardware, Lighting, Plumbing, and Architecture. We do our best to highlight our inventory full of unique items and reproductions on our website, but most of our stock is not online yet. Please contact us if you're looking for something you don't see here.

Putting a thin coating of aluminum and aluminum oxide on the inside of bubbles, by coating a CD with gel and then microwaving it.When the electricity arcs through the aluminum of the CD , it vaporizes and is trapped by the gel (KY, actually), where it condenses on the inside of the trapped bubbles.
I'm pretty certain no one else in town is doing this at 1 a.m. on a Sunday morning.

Plating from a British WW1 Torpedo boat destroyer, Lelant, Cornwall.
Grid Reference: SW 5500 3777
see multimap
also google maps (aerial view)
looking in "Lost Ships of the West Country" by Martin Langley and Edwina Small, published by "Stanford Maritime" in 1988
This is a Torpedo Boat Destroyer, parts of the port side and superstructure built into the bank around 1920, at that time TW Ward (based in Essex) had a shipbreaking yard here (they had another 12 nationwide) and were breaking redundent vessels from WW1. The identity of this ship is unknown.
the book suggests this ship could be a veteren of Jutland.
For more of my photos of this location see the main photo and comment below at: www.flickr.com/photos/hamishfenton/3552048707

in the photographs where the plating has collapsed you can see the fill of material behind, this includes a lot of reinforced concrete lamp posts, which I think are post 1945, it is suggested that these plates were built in the bank in 1920 to help reduce erosion, which makes me wonder why there is a later fill. I think it possible, although I have no evidence, that it could be the side of a wharf with a wooden floor on the top built to quickly expand the size of the wharfs here where they were ship breaking, these later became unsafe and some time after the second world war the space behind the plates was backfilled -all in my imagination unless someone can find some evidence.

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia is one of the classical Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was carved by the famed Classical sculptor Phidias (5th century BC) circa 435 BC in Olympia, Greece.
The seated statue occupied the whole width of the aisle of the temple that was built to house it. According to the 1989 World Book, it was 40 feet (12 meters) tall. "It seems that if Zeus were to stand up," the geographer Strabo noted early in the 1st century BC, "he would unroof the temple."
Zeus was carved from ivory (technically the ivory was soaked in a liquid that made it softer, so it was probably both carved and shaped as necessary) then covered with gold plating (thus chryselephantine) and was seated on a magnificent throne of cedarwood, inlaid with ivory, gold, ebony, and precious stones.
In Zeus' right hand there was a small statue of Nike, the goddess of victory, and in his left hand, a shining sceptre on which an eagle perched. Visitors like the Roman general Aemilius Paulus, the victor over Macedon, were moved to awe by the godlike majesty and splendor that Phidias had captured.
The circumstances of its eventual destruction are a source of debate: some scholars argue that it perished with the temple in the 5th century AD, others argue that it was carried off to Constantinople, where it was destroyed in the great fire of the Lauseion (Schobel 1965).
According to Lucian of Samosata in the later second century, "they have laid hands on your person at Olympia, my lord High-Thunderer, and you had not the energy to wake the dogs or call in the neighbors; surely they might have come to the rescue and caught the fellows before they had finished packing up the swag".
Perhaps the greatest discovery in terms of finding out about this wonder came in 1958 with the excavation of the workshop used to create the statue. This has led archaeologists to be able to re-create the technique used to make the great work.

Introduced as the T type in 1930, and the second model introduced after the General Motors takeover in 1925. The T type is a derivative of the earlier Pomeroy designed R type (ie still very British), differing from the R type by its higher radiator, mechanical fuel pump feed, hydraulic dampers and chromium plating.Wire wWheels standardised from 1931 with the introduction of the larger engined T80 (3317cc) All came on standard 123 wheelbase or an optional 130 inch wheelbase.
