This is made entirely of vintage fabric and is one quadrant of a pattern I found called "Obsession".
Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.
Taken with an old Vokar camera (not the sharpest lens).
This lower-quadrant dwarf had no green "clear" aspect, only amber "restricting" and red "stop" aspects.
This was taken on the Jersey Central's Newark and New York Branch, at the junction with the Newark Branch to Elizabethport. At one time, trains had a direct route from here to the Communipaw ferry terminal in Jersey City. At the time of this photo, shuttle passenger trains still ran from Broad Street, Newark to Kearney or Elizabethport.
This is a Magic Lantern slide in a series from the 1860s, this one is showing Regent Street looking north west from the Quadrant. All the buildings in the photograph have gone and were replaced between 1895 and 1927, only the original curve of the street remains. Regent Street was designed by John Nash as a shopping street, a route from Carlton House, the home of the Prince Regent later George IV, to Regents Park and a boundary between Mayfair and Soho. Work began in 1813 and was completed by 1825, originally there was a cast iron colonnade for all weather shopping but in 1848 it was removed, it had become the haunt of prostitutes and thieves. The shop at 84 Regent Street, the premises of “Gants de Paris” was owned by a Mr. D. Jugla who had branches in Paris and Dublin. In late 1862 a classified announcement was made in “Saunders News Letter” that he was opening a branch in Grafton Street, Dublin for the sale of kid gloves, perfumery, fans and Paris fancy articles. The buildings in Regent Street are now taller but are restricted to a height of five storeys, I think I know where I would have preferred to shop.

Quadrant Carette 2x3 Tricycle (1904) Engines 2 x 369cc (792cc)
Registration Number Unknown
Quadrant were one of the first British bicycle manufacturers to branch out into Motorcycle and Tricycle production. In the early years of the 20th century the tricar held a special position in the market: in comfort, ease of control and economy it stood between a car and a motorcycle.
In 1904 Quadrant introduced their 6hp Carette model, to a favourable reception. An unusual feature was its twin separate mirrored engines. Advertised as smart and comfortable the ad noted that the driver sat in a comfortable position in a Brooks bucket seat and controls the machine with a steering wheel rather than handlebars. The platform upon which the driver’s feet rest is spring-insulated, and powerful pedal-applied brakes act on the steering wheel hubs and the engine countershaft. The open-backed frame and sprung bucket seat will be appreciated by tricyclists, while the well-known spiral suspension-spring insulation of the Quadrant Tricycle has been retained for the fore-carriage. Twin engines of 3 HP, air-cooled, drive through a two speed gearbox

London United DT26, a Dennis Dart with Duple 'Dartline' bodywork pictured in a traffic jam on The Quadrant in Richmond Surrey on 28th April 1990. At the time, the bus was brand new having been just delivered to London United that very month. The Dartline body was only used on the Dennis Dart chassis, however, Duple only produced the Dartline during 1990, before the designs were sold onto Carlyle for continued production in 1990/1. To be honest, I quite liked the asymmetric look of these buses when they first arrived on the scene, especially as they appeared a little different from the offerings of other body builders of the time.
In January 2000, this bus and sister bus DT16 (G516VYE) were sold to Southern Vectis for further service. I believe that this particular vehicle has since been acquired by the West Wight Bus Group on the Isle of Wight, as a preservation project:

John Wilcox used this quadrant on his voyages from Madison to New York and the Connecticut River in the early 1800's to about 1860. A quadrant was a forerunner of the sextant and measured the altitude of heavenly bodies for navigation.
Brass and ivory fitted ebony frame with the maker's name and compass degrees engraved on ivory set into the frame. Colored glass filters used in the sighting device. Quadrant fits into oak box with partial label of William Davenport, instrument dealer in Philadelphia. Cut side of box is painted yellow and has faint traces of a star and "JOHN WILCOX" painted on it. Made by Spencer, Browning & Rust, London England c. 1800.
Found in collection.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - I went to Bear Butte, South Dakota, to try to capture the Quadrantid Meteor Shower. But it was cloudy most of the night. I did see a few between 2 and 3 AM when the sky cleared briefly. I later learned the meteor shower peaked earlier than expected, which favored observers in Europe.
Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.
I came across this beautiful signal when on holiday with the family, and chasing the odd Scarborough Spa Express. Located between York and Scarborough, it was very tall to enhance long-distance sighting and a remarkable survivor from the pre-1923 era. It was clearly in good condition and cherished by the staff. Remarkably, it lasted until 1988 when the area was resignalled.
Techy stuff: taken with an OM2 on Kodachrome, with a polarising filter which turned the sky a lovely dark blue, and I have lightened so that it sits more comfortably with the other pictures.

SFU Academic quadrant. Designed by Arthur Erickson. Commonly referred to as a "concrete prison" design by people, its controversial because it's designed by the award winning Arthur Erickson in 1965.

Growing Mesocyclone SW Quadrant
I’m estimating this young developing Mesocyclone is 70 miles distant/ 50 miles wide. Relatively small for a Rotating mesocyclone. It was growing at the time. The sunset for that day is ongoing exactly behind me in about 15 minutes from this capture. There are just plain intense downpours under these storms sometimes. Depending on how fast they are moving makes you lucky or flooded locally lol. These only rain on a few percent of the ground area up here. Spotty! The ground under them becomes totally soaked if the storm doesn’t move.
We had a summer Mesocyclone years back that sat over us and dumped 4.5 inches of rain in 45 minutes. Water was sheet washing down the hill behind my home and skirting around the house. Almost nothing got in but that slope was angle deep in sheet wash. I have since re-landscapes using mounds to redirect any potential sheet wash off the long hill to our back. It’s only been a problem once in 20 years.
That was a rough storm. Tragically a local cowboy from a nearby ranch was killed in that storm. A truck full of locals went out to see what the 100 year water dump did, drove to one of their herds to check them, road was fine. Drove back the road had washed out. That cowboy was a passenger in that truck. County Emergency Management called me to close the road off from my side of the washout. The runoff went through a major country road that literal gully washer did. It was a major culvert to replace and a big job. We couldn’t get to the highway from that road for a while.
Location: Bliss Dinosaur Ranch, Wyoming/Montana borderlands.
