This very simple public facing panel built for my 16mm scale narrow gauge "WCR Preservation Line" at our Padiham exhibition on 1st Nov 2014 allows visitors to “be the signalman” – yes, this is something you CAN touch ;-) The CDU (capacitance discharge unit) is normally out of sight.

POST-WAR CLASSIC (US) E2-03
The Chrysler 300 series was designed by Virgil Exner, an American designer heavily influenced by his work with Ghia in Italy in the 1950's. The 300 series cars are considered the very first muscle cars, the 300 badge referring to 300 HP, and their expense and exclusiveness led to the nickname "The Banker's Hotrod". They were produced with the trademark natural interiors with a limited range of exterior colours available.
The dawning era of muscle cars took a powerful turn with the 1960 Chrysler 300F. In the formative years of factory performance, automakers reserved their hottest engines for their largest, and usually most-expensive models. early Chrysler muscle cars were best expressed by the stylish and exclusive "letter-series" machines. The first of these was the 1955 C-300 with its 300-bhp Hemi-head V-8. The 1960 Chrysler 300F continued the tradition of power and panache with its special trim and sporty interior that boasted four bucket-type leather seats and a full-length console.
Chrysler specified its most-advanced engines for these image leaders. A dual-quad 413-cid wedge replaced the Hemi in the 1959 letter-series. It made the same 380 bhp as the previous year's standard 392-cid Hemi, but was 100 pounds lighter and simpler to build. For 1960, the 413 gained a radical ram induction system in which each four-barrel carburettor fed the opposite cylinder bank via 30-inch "outrigger" tubes. The length of the runners was calculated to produce a super-charging effect in the hear of th rpm range.
Ram induction was available on 361-and-83-cid Dodge and Plymouth engines, but only Chryslers and Imperials could get the 413, and only the 300F had ram induction standard. Horsepower was 375; optional "short-ram" tubes, which looked the same but differed internally, yielded 400 bhp at 5200 rpm and 465 lb-ft of torque at 3600.
Pushbutton TorqueFlite automatic was standard, but a French-built four-speed manual was optional for just this season, ending up in only a few 300Fs.
Chrysler built 964 300F hardtops and 248 convertibles for '60, a peak year for letter-series performance.

A Line Of Its Own
"September 20, 1940. The 1941 Lincoln Continental becomes its own car line.
The first Lincoln Continentals were produced on a limited run basis as an addition to the Zephyr line. Advertised as a Zephyr with the “flavor of European boulevards,” around 400 were built from October of 1939 to September of 1940. They were almost completely handmade (to fit the many custom requests) and offered extensive interior options.
Based on the overwhelming response by the public and critics alike, the Continental became its own line, available in coupe and cabriolet. Refinements for the 1941 models included pushbutton door controls, an electrically-powered convertible top replacing the previous vacuum system and a dash-located hood-release replacing the former rotating hood ornament.
Bob Gregorie, head of styling and design, placed a new hood ornament on the Continental – which he referred to as a "speared golf ball" – that accentuated the length of the hood nicely. The 1941 Continental’s low lines, large windows and sleek frame was inspired by Gregorie’s and Edsel Ford’s shared love for the ease of an ocean yacht. That inspiration lives on in current Lincoln vehicles."

I developed this panel for my JR-East N gauge project, Tohoku City high level station, which is also served by city trams at ground level. The panel handes platform line select, station approach point control, and signalling. You can see that the Shinkansen tracks are separated from the local commuter lines. The panel front is clear 4mm perspex/acrylic painted on the reverse side.

Please see the camera-wiki article on the Canon T70. This is another multi-mode camera; and like the Ricoh XR-P, it offers 3 different choices of autoexposure programs, for different lens types.
The plastic body shell also includes a power winder (like the Konica FT-1). The top LCD display and the pushbutton interface would prove to be a very influential trend in 1980s cameras. The integral winder of the T70 also adds motorized rewind.
1956 Packard 400 Hardtop Dash (note the pushbutton transmission selector on the right side of the steering column). While Packards were made for two more years, 1956 was the last year the make had it's own bodies; the 1957 and 1958 models shared bodies with corporate mate Studebaker -- bodies that much more closely resembled earlier Studebakers than Packards of prior years. The 400 was one of the "senior" Packards, topped by only the Caribbean.

A neat product I support. A universal housing for over 700 different cameras. The seashell comes with various spacers and screws to hold down a small compact camera in it's casing. Seems solid enough. No pushbuttons on the rear, so it has 2 buttons. On/Off and a shutterbutton.
Simple cheap solution.
Description: De Soto appealed to drivers who desired the cutting edge of technology. Soaring fins and an airy roof suggested military jet fighters. Pushbuttons replaced old-fashioned transmission levers. And De Sotos were powerful -- perfect for the new high-speed, four-lane turnpikes and the newly-funded interstate highway system.

1961 Chrysler Newport Station Wagon.
From the display: "Walter P. Chrysler founded the company bearing his name in 1925 from what had previously been the Maxwell Motor Company. He had earlier experience at Buick and Willys-Overland. Chrysler added the Plymouth, DeSoto, and Dodge nameplates to his corporation over time.
By the 1950's, Chrysler had gained a reputation for engineering excellence but rather boring styling. The image of Chrysler cars began to change with the increasing influence of stylist Virgil Exner, who came to the company in 1949 from Studebaker.
By the late '50s, Exner was bringing ever sleeker, wider, and stylish cars to market. The 1961 and '62 Chryslers were noted for their canted, quad headlights that gave the cars a unique appearance.
This massive station wagon is a great example of the large, powerful family cars of the early '60s. With its unique torsion bar front suspension, superb TorqueFlight automatic transmission (controlled by dash-mounted pushbuttons), and enough space for a family and all their "stuff", it was a great car for vacations and hauling all the things a suburban family needed.
In May 1961, Jurgen Vind, a Truckee construction company owner, bought the car in San Francisco. The car remained in the Vind family for the next 37 years, serving for daily commutes, family vacations, and as a first car for their daughter. The car survived near demolition in a terrible mudslide near Lake Tahoe in 1967. Placed in storage in the 1980s, the Vind family finally sold the car to Tom Ortiz in the '90s and restoration was begun. Tom still owns the car and keeps it here for us to enjoy."

The Nash Rambler was introduced on April 13, 1950; in the middle of the model year. The new Rambler was available only as an upmarket two-door convertible — designated the "Landau". Without the weight of a roof, and with a low wind resistance body design for the time, the inline 6-cylinder engine could deliver solid performance and deliver fuel economy up to 30 mpg‑US (7.8 L/100 km; 36 mpg‑imp).
Several factors were incorporated into the compact Nash Rambler's marketing mix that included making the most from the limited steel supplies during the Korean War, as well as the automaker selecting a strategy for profit maximization from the new Rambler line. The new Nash Rambler came only in a convertible body, a style that had a higher price in the marketplace and incorporating more standard features that make the open top models suitable more for leisure-type use than ordinary transportation.
The Nash Rambler was well equipped compared to the competition and included numerous items as standard equipment such as whitewall tires, full wheel covers, electric clock, and even a pushbutton AM radio that were available at extra cost on all other cars at that time.
In 1951, the Nash Rambler line was enlarged to include a two-door station wagon.

PRISTINE condition. It was in my buddy's house when he recently bought it from an elderly Jewish lady, it was in her 2nd kitchen, in the basement, the kosher kitchen. She must have used it no more than 12 times since 1955!
This tower is almost certainly an old AT+T microwave relay station, back when long-distance traffic was uncommon enough that microwave links were sufficient to connect the nation. Each of these relays was in sight of its neighbors.
The network was designed and built during the cold war, and towers were placed in sheltered areas where possible, with a view of the next tower, but hills blocking all other directions to protect the station in the event of a nuclear attack.
The relay stations used vacuum-tube radio gear that required constant supervision and tuning, so there was round-the-clock staffing at these relays, even the remote ones.
By the time the book in the window, The pushbutton telephone songbook, was published, transistors had replaced tubes and the stations could now be operated remotely, with only occasional service visits.
Today, with the nation connected by wire and fiber, many of these towers are inactive or used as locations for cell phone antennas.
This is the human interface for the contraption. The backbone is an Arduino Mini Pro. It's connected to the camera unit via a 315mhz RF link and takes input from the user via five potentiometers and three pushbuttons
