7.62x63mm special precision rifle.

 

A long-range interdiction weapon developed by Barton Precision Industries, intended to supplement the Arctic Warfare line of sniper rifles then currently in service with many police forces stationed in New Haven.

 

Thanks to its lightweight precision parts, the Talon is extremely accurate at long ranges, yet very light despite its size. In addition, the 7.62x63mm rounds it chambers pack a heavy punch, allowing accurate operators to silence their targets with ease.

 

However, purchasing and maintaining this weapon is a whole different matter, as the proprietary parts required for this weapon are quite expensive.

 

Other features include ergo grips and a built-in bipod.

Precision National Corporation SD24 6327 on the BN at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in April 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 6327 was built in October 1959 as Southern SD24 2508 ( c/n 25604 ), renumbered in 1972 to 6327. It was sold to PNC in January 1978, leased for about a year as PNC 6327 during 1979-1980 to the BN, sold to the ICG during 1980, rebuilt to ICG SD20 2027, eventually becoming IHB 2923.

Installation of 7 steel cables for a new wood chips conveyor system. Each cable was about 700 meters long. Flying at extremely low altitude and in real "slow motion" above a large industrial site requires maximim precision. Only most experienced pilots will be permitted to such a job. This mission was completed in 4 hours, a conventional intallation on the ground would have taken several days.

The Blue Angels practicing for the upcoming air show in Vero Beach. I used to photograph them, and the Thunderbirds, from outside Andrews AFB every year. I'm always amazed. I have yet, though, to actually attend an airshow. Maybe next time.

An old information sign above a Victorian letter box on the wall at the Ham Gate entrance to Richmond Park in west London. And there’s nothing like precision in numbers, is there… not 1¾ miles, but 1 mile and 1,370 yards to Robin Hood Gate, or 38 yards longer if you travel via White Lodge.

 

White Lodge, by the way, is a Grade 1 Listed Georgian mansion which today is home to the Royal Ballet School for students between the ages of 11 and 16.

Looks like a romanticised view of the abominable gentrification of Hackney Wick.

 

A bit of Mobstr in there too, if I'm not mistaken.

This is the heartbeat before the roar.

 

A young kicker locks in, body aligned, arms wide like wings in flight, as the rugby ball leaves the tee and slices through the air. There’s no hesitation in his form — just raw intent, laser focus, and that signature explosive release. It's a moment built on repetition, discipline, and instinct… and this frame captures it all.

 

The black and white edit strips the image down to its essence — no distractions, just form and emotion. It highlights contrast: the light on the player’s jersey against the soft falloff of the blurred background, the clean silhouette of the kicking leg slicing across the foreground, and the textures of torn grass trailing from his boot.

"Svepask" translates into English as "Bent Wood Box". A beautiful precision woodwork made many years ago from Arctic Birch by my late uncle Herbert Rönnlund in Uttersjöbäcken, Västerbotten county in the north of Sweden.

 

Addendum: Spoke with one of my cousins today (Herbert's daughter) and asked her about the use. She said that her father almost never made things that only were supposed to be looked at, there should always be a practical use. She thinks that this one might have been intended for butter.

 

The lid pattern is intriguing and in this photo better depicted.

First off, I would like to say that I am very behind with uploading photos, and it's only going to get worse as I start my new job in the next few weeks. But anyways, it's the middle of the night in Pewaukee,WI as CP 581 sits tied down with a now solo NS EMD SD80MAC, a recrew showed up at about 2300, took the second unit to eastwards to Rondout, and left the Mac here dead in the water. Even as of now, this train has yet to move an inch

The practise it takes to get these tricks perfect. I see these guys practising for hours at a time.

PECo #900 was built originally for the Chicago & North Western. It was traded back to Alco for a like number of Century 424s. Alco in turn temporarily placed the locomotive in to lease fleet service before selling it to Precision. Slide was taken by D.W. Hately with whom, I traded slides in the 1960s and 1970s.

Modern center pivot irrigation systems use low−energy precision applicators (LEPA) rather than impact sprinkler guns. With LEPA, water is applied directly to inter-rows rather than to plant canopy.

Gallarus Oratory, a 1200 year old building on the Dingle Peninsula which has survived perfectly apart from a slight sagging of the roof. I loved the precision of the window and door lining up like this...

 

HTT!

I guess it takes a good pilot to be able to work on a construction site downtown Montreal very close to all the skyscrapers. This helicopter was going up and down between buildings helping workers to get heavy material on the roof of this building.

  

This is probably the most precisely straight partline I've ever done. It looks like stock, if stock scalps came with alpaca.
