An outdoor auto service rack at a Sinclair filling station operated in Olive Hill, Ky by my uncle, Ora "Jack" Waggoner. Check the timber structure - apparently the car was driven up the ramps, parked and then the heavy wooden runners were removed between the front and rear axles, and behind the rear wheels. I'll bet that was fun! Note the Sinclair oil products and the grease guns hanging on the posts. I think this picture is from the late 1930's, or possibly as late as the early 1940's. The C&O railroad yard is visible in the background, along with bulk gasoline tanks that belonged to another distributor on the adjacent property. It appears that the car is a late 30-something Chrysler, and may have been a city police or sheriff's car (note the siren on the running board). Uncle Jack later went on to acquire wholesale distribution rights for Pure Oil products after WWII. Collection of Bill Sartaine, used with permission.

The Sinclair Research C5 is a battery electric vehicle invented by Sir Clive Sinclair and launched by Sinclair Vehicles Ltd in the United Kingdom on 10 January 1985
Sir Clive began developement in the 1970's with work on the eletric motor by Chris Curry but the project was shelved as the company concentrated on electronic calculators.
The project was looked at again from 1979 and a change of legistlation in 1983 made the idea a lot more vible and it became a serious project.
As developement cost spiralled Sir Clive sold £12 million of stock in Sinclair Research, to found Sinclair vehicles, Lotus were commissioned to bring on the developement and Hoover at Methyr Tidfil were commissioned to produce the vehicles with the elcric motor coming from Polymer, Italy amid claims that it was to be powered by a washing machine motor.
But the buying public were sceptical, with fears that such a low vehicle was inherently unsafe in traffic, its lack of weather protection and slow speeds for a road vehicle (15 mph)
It was put on sale in 1985 for £399 plus £29 for delivery, it became an object of media and popular ridicule during 1980s Britain and was a commercial disaster, selling only around 17,000 units. Sinclair claimed it remained "the best selling electric vehicle" as recently as 2010, though it had been overtaken by 2011 when the Nissan Leaf had sold over 20,000 units.

Earlier back in my description of the Illinois part of Route 66, I gave a little bit of detail about the roles of Sinclair Oil Company and Standard Oil Company. I posted Standard Oil Company's mascot Dino, which was found on top of a tire store in Wilmington, but could never find a good picture of Sinclair's emblem until approaching the Tucumucari city limits and finding the Paradise Motel right off the main road. This is from part of the wall of the Paradise Cafe which volunteers painstakingly restored.
I could never figure out why the Sinclair mascot evoked such warm memories in me, until I recently located a picture of me when I was two - hugging a plastic miniature Dino that they used to give away to kids at the gas station!

Abigail aged to a teen! And boy is she fat! Almost my whole town is fat! In other sim game they could gain weight, but it took a lot of food to do it and a lot of over feeding. Now they get fat on just eating when they are hungry. Kind of annoying that they force you to exercise your sim to counter just eating for survival.
Sinclair Oil Corporation is an American petroleum corporation, founded by Harry F. Sinclair on May 1, 1916 as the Sinclair Oil and Refining Corporation by combining the assets of 11 small petroleum companies.[2] Originally a New York corporation, Sinclair Oil reincorporated in Wyoming in 1976.[3] The corporation's logo features the silhouette of a large green dinosaur.
The town was originally called Parco, after the Producers & Refiners Corporation (or PARCO) which founded the refinery and the company town. It was renamed Sinclair after PARCO was acquired during the Great Depression by Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corporation. The original refinery, located just east of town, remains in use to this day. Sinclair's population was 433 at the 2010 census.
The town was built as a planned community in 1924-25, designed by Denver architects Fisher & Fisher in a Spanish Colonial Revival style. The historic center of town was designated the Parco Historic District in 1987

Once shaped by Sinclair Creek, this canyon is one of the more striking geological features in Kootenay National Park. Interesting place to put a major provincial highway, that's for sure!
Entirely hand forged from virgin 5160 steel and deferentially tempered. It has a tough spine and harder edges. My blades have very thick wide tangs that have been drawn out and forged from the mother blade steel. The full cross sections and profiles of my swords are accomplished at the anvil by forging. Any stock removal is extremely minimal and only serves for finishing and sharpening.
Owning one of my blades means you will take great pride in knowing that it is the only one in the world. I may forge others in similar style and dimension but no two will ever be the same. Hand forging is an extremely difficult and labor intensive art form that produces stunningly beautiful, unique and superior edged weapons. In today’s world of mass CNC machining and cheap investment casting, high quality hand made original works are becoming extremely difficult to find. I forge every edged weapon as if it were my very own to carry into battle. It gives me great satisfaction to think that long after I am gone, my blades will proudly be displayed in silent testimony to my passion for this art form. Please study my feedback and be extremely confident that this item will meet or even exceed your expectations. SEE WHAT THIS SWORD LOOKS LIKE IN HAND BY SEARCHING SAXONFORGE ON YOU TUBE.
