19th May, 1974. Torquay.
One of the 'problems' with film photography was what to do when you were left with that one last picture on the roll of film. Wait till the next time you went out and carry a spare roll in your pocket or to just shot it off and drop the completed roll off at the chemist's? There was never the thought of just wasting that last bit of film by not exposing the frame and it was more bother than it was worth to just leave the roll in the camera with only the one shot left.
So often you would just frame up a shot you would never consider at any other time. This image is a result of that dilemma. Hennapyn Road Bridge, the Torquay South Signal Box with a cluster of platform trollies and ramp, the Western Region lower quadrant signal, the signs on the bridge, I believe, telling freight trains to pin down their brakes and a Gloucester R. C. & W. Co. 3 Car Cross Country leaving towards Paignton. The middle carriage is still in all over blue livery.
Astronomical Quadrant by John Bird (1709-1776) - 1767 - postcard scan. 12- inch astronomical quadrant believed to have been used by Captain James Cook during his observations of the transit of Venus in Tahiti, made by British instrument maker John Bird, 1767.
Astronomical quadrants were used to measure the angle of a celestial object from the zenith. Operated in conjunction with a transit instrument, they could be used to check the running rate of astronomical clocks known as regulators. At sea a quadrant can be used to help fix a ship's position and to determine latitude.
This is the exact location and size of a brick well unearthed in July 1978 during construction of this mall. The well supplied water to Richard Whites stables and the Launceston Hotel.

Quadrant Range from Ring Road South at the University of Birmingham.
This direction on a sunny November afternoon from the path towards the Lapworth Museum of Geology (wasn't going there this time).
As usual had to find my way into the Chancellors Court, that meant heading round to the right and eventually up close to the Bramall Music Building.
This is the listing below for the main buildings of the Quadrant Range.

1900-1909 by Sir Aston Webb and Ingress Bell, the D plan group main university
building of which only part were completed to the original design. The Great
Hall opposite the tower is the central axial building, to its front is a square
entrance hall with a giant round arched mullioned window, above an ornate
frieze over the loggia doorways, flanked by tapering square corner turrets
(to rear as well) which are topped by small ribbed domes. Over the hall rises
a low octagonal drum supporting a large ribbed dome and a miniature lantern.
Red brick and stone and buff terracotta dressings, but the conception is more
Byzantine than Renaissance. Behind the domed and galleried entrance hall with
ornate Renaissance grotesque relief carving, lies the Great Hall itself, a
vast tunnel vaulted space with cross vaulted
2 storey side galleries. Rich grotesque carving. Lavish stained glass by
T R Spence. The centrepiece of the hall has 2 storey quadrant links forming
the wing pavilions, 2 to the west but only one completed to the east. These
relate on a smaller 2 storey scale to the Great Hall being square on plan and
with similar ribbed domes but with round corner turrets, wings extending
behind. Flat lintelled window ranges on ground floor and large frescoed
friezes by Anning Bell below the parapets on the first floor level. The link
ranges have segmental arched windows. Modern part to east not of special interest.

A 1956 artist's schematic of Plum Brook reactor primary buildings with a cutaway of the containment vessel revealing the quadrants, the reactor pressure tank, and the lily pad. It was called the lily pad because, with water in the quadrants, the circular center resembled "a lily pad floating on water."

About 2 minutes of video, including a shot of stone bridge supports of the abandoned Illinois Central's "Gruber Line" is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhZL09r3EXw
This looks like an interesting old rail location. Remains of the Gruber line are clearly visible. Including a small trestle. And it appears that there was a connector in the northwest quadrant.

I started with an original "Quadrant Kaleidoscope" and further manipulated the image with the GIMP software, using Filters --> Distorts --> Kaleidoscope. I vary the preset settings to achieve a different effect with 4 or more reflections.
