Thermovision cameras capture infrared images of distribution lines exiting substations and where fuses are located on poles. The images are downloaded to a computer and reviewed. The infrared technology shows heat on a color scale, with brighter or “hot spots” indicating potential problems. As a result of the inspections, JCP&L identified and corrected nearly 100 potential problems.
Last weekend the motorcycle section of the Vintage Car Club of NZ ran a reliability trial and invited the Canterbury Classic Trials group to put on a demonstration and also take part in their event. The trials area also attracted members from the Vintage Club on suitable machines who tried the obstacles. These were largely man-made and included pallets (Thanks Palletmakers in ChCh), fence posts, tyres, a bank, tree stump, and logs. Due to the range of machines lined up for the reliability trial these sections were easier and included tight turns, tree roots, and banks. As well as trials bikes other contenders included trail bikes, 1970’s Vespa and Honda scooters, 1960's Royal Enfield and BMW motorcycles , 1937 Ariel, 1927 AJS, 1924 Triumph, as well as a Velosolex. A laid back and fun day mixing two groups both interested in classic motorcycles. Enjoy the photos.

During 2015, work completed by JCP&L included 94 circuit upgrades, a new transmission line from a substation in North Branch to a substation in Lebanon, and the expansion of a substation and new transformer installation in West Amwell. The company also successfully reinstituted its Power Systems Institute Program and was recognized as “Business Leadership of the Year Honoree” by the New Jersey Conference of Mayors.

The increasing vulnerability of the L-19/O-1 Birddog in both US Army and Marine service led the two services to jointly explore a replacement. For added reliability and durability, the new design would use two engines; for added speed, it would use turboprops; and it had to have excellent visibility from the cockpit. Since the Marines wanted an aircraft that could be armed with rockets and gunpods for self-defense and counterinsurgency, that requirement was added as well. The US Navy chimed in with a requirement that it be able to operate from light amphibious assault ships, which fit in well with another Army requirement that the design be able to fly from unimproved airstrips. Despite all of the demands, Grumman was able to satisfy all of them with the G-134. The Marines pulled out of the project due to lack of funding, but the Army pressed forward, naming the G-134 the YOV-1 Mohawk. It made its first flight in April 1959. It was redesignated OV-1 in 1962.
The USAF was against the project from the beginning, as fixed-wing armed Army aircraft infringed on the USAF's role. The Army was unsure if it wanted the Mohawk either, as it was expensive, and it was thought that a helicopter could do the same job. When the OV-1s were deployed to Vietnam, however, the Army's opinions changed: the Mohawk was robust, easy to fly, provided superb observation ability, and when equipped with side-looking radar (SLAR), gave the Army excellent reconnaissance that was better than most USAF types at the time. Much to the USAF's chagrin, the Army ordered more Mohawks. The USAF was able to secure an agreement that the OV-1 not be armed, but in practice over Vietnam, the Mohawks still carried rockets for "self-defense."
Following Vietnam, the OV-1 was continually updated, and its systems were not only useful in the battlefield surveillance role, but also in tracking drug runners, looking for missing persons, and checking for wildfire hotspots. A few would be deployed for the First Gulf War, but it was the Mohawk's swan song: the OV-1 was withdrawn from service beginning in 1991, in favor of the E-8A JSTARS. A number were also supplied to Israel in the 1980s, and to Argentina, which retired their Mohawks in 2013. 380 were built, and at least 20 are still around.
The Russell Military Museum in Zion, Illinois has three OV-1s in their collection, and 67-8900 is the one in the best shape. That said, it is not in great shape, missing its rudders and engines, with what looks to be canopy damage as well. It wears the overall gray camouflage that US Army OV-1s switched to shortly before retirement.
67-8900 was built as an OV-1C, and joined the Army too late to see service in Vietnam. It was upgraded to an OV-1D in 1979, and served with military intelligence battalions in then-West Germany as a reconnaissance aircraft. In 1991, it was retired from Army service, and was acquired by the Kenosha (now Russell) Military Museum in 1994.

Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma 2012
The '1011' Gearbox is Xtrac's third generation of IndyCar Transmission, continuing the line of
Quality, Performance and Reliability that are Xtrac's hallmarks. A completely new design of gearbox over its predecessor, the 1011 has been . This helps improve safety by reducing the inertia of the vehicle in a spin also allowing a large crash structure to be added to help absorb the energy from rear end impacts.
Drive is fed from the engine directly to the gearchange cluster and on to two pairs of drop gears, which in turn drive a Hard cut Klingelnberg bevel set. In standard configuration the bevel drives a lightweight spool with integral output flanges and a differential is available for use on Road Courses. Gear changes are performed using Xtrac's, positive and reliable sequential gearchange mechanism.
Xtrac's legendary record for reliability and performance is built by products like this, which have won multiple Indy 500 victories, in fact every '500' since 2000.
