Description
Signal_Ethique_Montagne de la Serre (Le Crest)
Par Arnaud HUART
[(Français), France]
Un signal dans le paysage comme marqueur mental...
>>> Oeuvre
Signal_Éthique apparaît comme un repère visible de jour et de nuit. L'oeuvre, verticale, est composée d'un ensemble de strates de bois, d'un attique ajouré et d'une ouverture en pied qui rappellent l'architecture d'un phare. La composition suggère une lecture de l'oeuvre vers l'intérieur et une projection de celle-ci dans le lointain.
La verticalité de l'oeuvre permet de capter la lumière. Cette lumière zénithale traverse une feuille de polycarbonate et propage une lumière laiteuse. Cette ambiance est également travaillée par la lumière extérieure, indirecte, qui entre au travers de l'attique ajouré. Ainsi, ces deux sources lumineuses complémentaires offrent une clarté intérieure évolutive au rythme de la journée.
Le visiteur est donc invité à entrer dans l'oeuvre où il règne une ambiance spirituelle qui invite à la pause, à la contemplation ou à la méditation. L'artiste souhaite ainsi amener le visiteur à reconsidérer l'idée du temps, loin de celle imposée par l'homme.
A l'image d'un phare ou d'une tour de guet, deux projecteurs solaires sont disposés à l'intérieur afin de marquer le paysage de nuit et suggérer la vie à l'intérieur. Tel un indicateur lumineux, Signal_Éthique suscite le souvenir chez ceux qui ont déjà découvert l'oeuvre et crée la curiosité chez les autres...

The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected by Jerry R. Ehman on August 15, 1977, while he was working on a SETI project at the Big Ear radio telescope of The Ohio State University, then located at Ohio Wesleyan University's Perkins Observatory in Delaware, Ohio.[1] The signal bore the expected hallmarks of non-terrestrial and non-Solar System origin. It lasted for the full 72-second window that Big Ear was able to observe it, but has not been detected again. The signal has been the subject of significant media attention.
Amazed at how closely the signal matched the expected signature of an interstellar signal in the antenna used, Ehman circled the signal on the computer printout and wrote the comment "Wow!" on its side. This comment became the name of the signal

Knowing that many of the "Lander" air conditioned cars were nearing 50 years of age, and that the Sunlander might cease running within a couple of years, in 2011 we booked a trip from Brisbane to Cairns in "Queenslander class".

Bradkirk signal box. Saturday 08 September 1962.
This signal box was located between Kirkham and Weeton on the Preston to Fleetwood railway line. The fast lines from Kirkham to Blkackpool South passed at the rear of the signal box. It was demolished in November 1972.

Close-up of the base of the signal pole. I looked for markings relating to CGW, but short of the number on the base (which looks like 14880), I found none that I could see. Notice, however, the upper right of the base. The metal has been broken off, so whatever knocked this pole down did it with significant force.

This gallery opened in the 1990s and closed sometime in the 2010s; it was originally Gateway Book Store, which opened on August 1st, 1973. It became Bookland in the 1980s, which relocated here in 1994.

Also the single green is at the top.
The speed indicator may also display other numbers, e. g. from 5 to 16.
Awre signal box (SO691072), disused since 1973 (when signalling was centralised at Gloucester) at the junction of the South Wales line and the Forest of Dean Central Railway, a 'pointless' line running from Awre Jn to Howbeach Colliery literally in the middle of nowhere (SO639088). Between here and Gloucester, signals are controlled by Gloucester box; westwards to Lydney and beyond is controlled from Newport, bar a small area still controlled by Lydney box for the level crossing there. The box, altho' not looking its best, is kept in reserve for use in an emergency should the box at Lydney fail. Said box at Lydney is, I understand, due for closure sometime soon? Awre box opened in 1909, replacing an earlier one originally sited opposite.
First test signal from the line array readout. For optimal view , check the full size file!
Line array: TSL202R
Number of pixels: 128
Readout serial mode 128 clocks + 1 for the stop
Readout clock: 441 ns
Readout time: 57.3 us
Integration time: 71.11 us
Piek voltage level laser signal: 1.72V netto
Used readout lens: Nikkor AF60/2.8D
Focal lenght 60mm.
Diafragma: F4 ( 1 stop closed)
Distance: to object: 550 mm
Used laserpointer: 1 mW red.
First problem:
Focal lenght lens is to short. Due to the distance and de diametre of the laser light, the captured diametre on the line array is only one pixel large, the second near pixel have a very smal signal. To solve this problem I need a longer focal lens.
General impression:
Signal is very sensive, the depht of the object is very precise to measure. Move the object a little shift the signal on the photoarray many pixels.
Laser signal is far above the ordinary light.
Signal is very sensieve to the object color, I need a higher laser power and the laserpoint may be bigger to have a bigger projection on the sensor.
Integration time determined the signal level, signal is lineair as time function to the saturation point. Now I have used 71 us, moving up to 128 us give higher signal to the saturated level but can be corrected via the lens opening. (higher F value).

An unfortunate encounter between a fruit bat and some power cables. The shock left him somewhat ... viagrafied.
See it in situ here.
I guess this box once had some architectural merit, now it is no doubt larger and more comfortable for the incumbent but it does look a pigs ear devoid of any real character.
Indeed the photos contained on this thread show the box did at one time have a more pleasing appearance.

The height of the British summer,18th July 2012, saw me and my eldest set off from Nottingham for an Everton pre-season friendly at Dundee. What could go wrong ? Bhy the time we got to Edinburgh at lunch time the evening fixture had already been called off due to a waterlogged pitch !
I had arranged to visit my ex signal school colleague at Tay Bridge South where he was working the afternoon turn so I carried on regardless and pulled in two other boxes on the way.
These are the very grey images from that afternoon.
