This is a photograph that I took on the Crescent, part of the A6 in Salford, during the Lancashire Automobile Club’s Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1973. Not really the most photogenic place to pick in view of the road works that were in place! It’s the 1904 Quadrant Tri-car of Dr C J Brooks and the programme of the event had this information about the car4:
11. Dr. C. J. Brooks, Newthorpe, Nottinghamshire,
1904 Quadrant Tri-Car “Carette”, 5 h.p.
Built at the Quadrant cycle manufacturing works in Birmingham, the “Carette” model has two completely separate single cylinder engines (left hand 400 c.c. and right hand 450 c.c.) with drive to a common countershaft. This shaft has a cone leather clutch at either end so that two speeds can be selected to drive the single rear wheel. Speed is controlled by advancing or retarding the ignition once the mixture of throttle and air has been set. It is one of only three Quadrants still in existence.

"The Davis Quadrant"
"The most important and interesting artifact recovered from the Brown's Ferry vessel is the Davis Quadrant. This is the first example of this professional device found in the United States ....is in remarkable condition; ..... are still visible in the wood despite near .... Black River.
Designed by John Davis of England in 1595, the instrument measured angles for surveying, astronomy, and navigation. Seamen could find the latitude (north -south position) by finding the angle of the sun above the horizon without having to sight directly on it. The Davis Quadrant could measure an arc of only 90 degrees and was replaced by the sextant which could measure 180 degrees.
Archaeologists wonder why a Davis Quadrant was found on the small freighter. Generally, only ocean-going vessels required such navigational tools. Perhaps this is further evidence that the Brown's Ferry vessel not only traveled local rivers, but ventured all the way to Charleston."
"How Does it Work?"
"The device consists of a rod on which are set two circular arcs. The arc on the top can measure angles from 0 to 60 degrees and the arc on the bottom can measure from 0 to 30 degrees. Both circular arcs have the same centre A and each has a movable slotted sight.
To make a measurement the observer turns his back to the sun and holds the instrument in a vertical plane. The rays pass through the slot of the sight on the upper arc and hit the slotted sight at A on the end of the rod. At the same time the observer looks through the sight on the lower arc and can look at the horizon through the slot at A."

A pair of very tall brick Observation Towers dating from World War Two stand on Grimston Warren. Both of the quadrant towers are built from four brickwork columns, connected approximately half way up with steel tie rods, the columns are also connected at the top with a concrete ring beam.
Usually there is a concrete superstructure on top, used by the observers, in this case the tower probably held a wooden superstructure attached by bolts to the concrete ring beam sitting on top of the columns. Some of the wooden remains and fixings can be seen. Both of the towers show some concrete foundations at the base indicating where a staircase was mounted for access.
Nearby are some cropmarks of a large circle with a large central ''bullseye'' at reference TF 6780 2214, this is believed to represent the remains of a World War Two bomb target.
INFORMATION BOARD -
This tower and its twin, which can be seen in the distance to the north, were constructed by the army and date from the Second World War.
They were used for artillery training by the Royal Observation Corps. Guns fired shells at a target and observers measured the shell trajectories and determined the accuracy of each shot. The two view points were necessary to pi point the exact position each shell fell.
This tower was entirely hidden within a dense conifer plantation from the 1960’s. It was only the felling of trees in 2009 as part of Norfolk Wildlife Trust's heathland restoration project that has once again revealed the tower. For the first time in decades the original sight-line between the two observation towers has been opened up.
BEWARE ORDNANCE ‼️
There are also the remains of other military features dating from around the time Second World War, including slit trenches, and gun emplacements. Occasionally the remains of shells and other ordnance are found here. Should you find any metal objects which you think may be ordnance please do not handle them but safely mark the location and report your findings to Norfolk Wildlife Trust on 01603 625540.

Activists expose Quadrant and Weyerhaeuser's Eco-Lies outside the Built Green Conference. March 13, 2007 in Everett, WA.
In quadrant two looking back to the front of the store, we can see the wall design at the front of the store just by the exit. The walls are adorned with barn house-shaped signage indicating "Thank you Henderson" which is similar to the style of signage they use through out the rest of the grocer. I think it's a creative way to keep with the "farmer's market" theme.
To the left hand side of the photograph, we can see an assortment of nuts placed on a pine wood display which, in my opinion, is a fun way to stick with the "farmer's market" theme.
The original Co-op shop is behind the new extension on the side of this.
George Yard and the new Quadrant were built after the old church was pulled down.
When Quadrant was built there was a food hall with the entrance in George Yard.
This was later taken away and the Post Office sited in the other end of the shop. The Post Office is now in New Street.
For a while the Co-op food store was in the old B&Q building next door which is now a Morrisons.
Everything changes.
Looking southwest from the Golden Gate, what we're seeing here (I believe) is Quadrant Mountain (9,954 feet - a mountain peak in the southern section of the Gallatin Range). The area before the mountain is called Gardner's Hole, which is a popular trout fishing area. The Gardner River runs through it, and then doubles back to the north around Bunsen Peak.
