Just look at that streamlined art deco locking lever and HR solenoid. Sweet.
Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic from somewhere between 1947 and 1970. A little rough but fully functional - includes a Graflok back, a working Heiland bulb flash and electric solenoid synchronizer. Fun to use but I can't imagine lugging this around for my day job.
From Graflex.org:
The Speed Graphic was manufactured by Graflex, in Rochester, New York and was the dominant portable professional camera from the 1930's through the end of the 1950's. In many ways, the Speed Graphic was America's first and last great camera.
The Speed Graphic camera has two shutters - focal plane and in-lens; three viewfinders - optical, wire frame and ground glass; interchangeable lenses; a rise and fall front; lateral shifts; a coupled rangefinder; and a double extension bellows adaptable to lenses from 90mm to over 300mm.
Afflicted by a ``Rube Goldberg'' variety of features, the Speed Graphic looks complicated but is one of the simplest and most flexible cameras made. Nothing in the Graphic is automated; if you don't pay attention you can double expose, shoot blanks, fog previous exposures or shoot out of focus images. However, once you get used to it, it is amazingly easy to use.
Amtrak Dormitory-Baggage car # 540, baggage compartment end view of a former U.S. Army Hospital car recently acquired by Amtrak that was located in the SCL (former ACL) railroad yard on an overcast day at Saint Petersburg, Florida, during 1974. These US Army Hospital cars were numbered in the # 89500 series and originally built by the SSCC (St. Louis Car Company), during 1952-1953. The Amtrak car number # 540 was obtained by droping the 89 from the Army car number. Many of these cars were rebuilt by Amtrak in 1973, from their hospital car configuration into a baggage-dormitory car. They were later painted in the Amtrak scheme and placed into the # 1400 series. Eventually, some of these cars were rebuilt again with full HEP pass through cabling and numbered into the # 1600 series. During the various rebuildings, some of the cars were reconfigured to have only one baggage door on each side, however, this car has two doors on this side. One interesting feature of these cars is the trucks on which they ride, an early model of the GSC (General Steel Casting) outside swing hanger truck design, very similar to the trucks placed under the Osgood Bradley streamlined American Flyer cars used on the New Haven Railroad. These GSC trucks did have outside swing hangers, bolster anchors, snubbers, roller bearings, but were designed to use convention clasp shoe brakes. The later GSC outside swing hanger designed trucks incorporated the use of disc brakes, and that was something Amtrak wanted to have on all their trucks when possible. This car still retained it's Army olive drab paint scheme with a light colored roof. I find the window configuration used on these dormitory-baggage cars to be interesting, as compared to the more standard configuration used on cars that were originally built for this purpose. These cars were generally used on Amtrak's Champion in and out of Saint Petersburg.
Union Pacific steam locomotive # 8444, a FEF-3 class Northern is seen on a railfan trip operating on the mainline out of Denver, Colorado to Cheyenne, Wyoming, and return, July 1972. The locomotive is a modern, oil burning, powerful and fast steam locomotive built by ALCO during the 1940's. This locomotive was used for years on fast streamlined UP passenger train, later downgraded to lesser passenger runs and eventually delegated to fast freight service. The locomotive has never been taken off the UP roster and has remained active all these years as a railfan and executive train hauling locomotive. At the time of the photo, the UP had a large fleet of former streamlined passenger train cars that were dedicated for the railfan trips and customer promotional trips. Today the locomotive in now wearing its original active number of # 844.

Recent shift to AMC enables streamlined logistics services

CAMP CASEY, SOUTH KOREA – The logisticians who look after Warrior Country’s transportation, maintenance and supply needs are now able to provide even more robust services thanks to a recent change that gives them broader, faster reach into the Army’s overall logistics network.
The U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I’s Directorate of Logistics ran the Central Issue Facility at Camp Hovey and the transportation motor pools that provide buses and vehicle maintenance in Warrior Country.
They did that as part of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, of which USAG Red Cloud and Area I is a part.
But, effective Oct. 1, all Army DOL assets shifted from IMCOM to the U.S. Army Materiel Command. AMC is a global command that supports Army logistics worldwide.
The shift plugs in the DOL to AMC’s global logistics network.
And in Warrior Country, DOL is now part of the 403rd Army Field Support Brigade Area I, said DOL director Dennis Williams.
For Warrior Country customers, that’ll mean that when one of the 403rd AFSB’s facilities in Warrior Country runs low on an item – helmets or vehicle parts – for example, they can be shipped from another facility that does have them, even one in, say, Japan, Williams said.
The transition will not pose any confusion or inconvenience for DOL customers, he said.
“For Area I it will be transparent,” he said. “The services we did yesterday are the same services that we’ll do today and tomorrow.”
The Area I DOL marked the shift to AMC with a low-key patch-and-pin ceremony Oct. 3 at Camp Casey’s Carey Fitness Center.
There, DOL’s Soldiers traded in their seven-sided IMCOM patch for the shield-shaped AMC patch, while civilians received an AMC lapel pin.
“On behalf of the Army Materiel Command I want to welcome you to the new AMC family,” Col. Michael Lopez, commander of the 403rd AFSB, said during the ceremony.
For the more than 300 DOL Soldiers, Department of the Army Civilians and Korean civilians in Warrior Country, the 403rd AFSB is now their higher headquarters. But, they’re not alone. On Oct. 1, the 403rd also took command and control of all DOLs in Korea, Japan and Okinawa.
The changeover process was set in motion in March 2005 when the leadership of IMCOM and AMC decided to develop a logistics partnership to improve support to the Army and the Army’s transformation plan.

The Godfather: Corleone's Empire
the game is a streamlined, confrontational worker placement game filled with murder and intrigue. You play as competing mafia families who are vying for economic control of the organized crime networks of New York City, deploying your thugs, your don, your wife, and your heir on the board to shake down businesses and engage in area-control turf wars.
Money, rackets, contracts, and special advantages (such as the union boss) are represented by cards in your hand, and your hand size is limited, with you choosing which extra cards to pay tribute to the don at the end of each of the five rounds. At the end of the game, though, cash is all that matters, and whoever has the most money wins.
The game also features drive-by shootings in which enemy tokens are removed from the board and placed face-down in the river.

In contemporary reviews the streamlined body was praised for its lack of wind noise at speed and the smooth ride of its suspension. Also liked was the light steering, despite requiring only 1 5/8ths turns of the wheel from lock-to-lock.
I received as a gift my first fountain pen at the age of 10. It was a Waterman CF manufactured in France. The body was in black resin and the cap of brushed stainless steel with golden apparatus, with a 18K nib. The pen was damaged a few year later in - 50 years after sorry - unknown circumstances.
Ten years later, when I was undergraduate student, I bought a second Waterman C/F, chineese coral lacquer on brass, with golden apparats. I kept this one for more than 35 years before to be lost during a one-day round trip from Lyon to Paris.
I was very disappointed even if I had a few other ones more recent and also, strangely, more classic pens (Parker Duofold, Pelikan M805, Pilot Custom's). No fountain pen was more streamlined to me than the "C/F" (CF in France). The CF stranded for "Cartridge Filled". The CF's were the first to use soft plastic cartridges, easy to carry and easy to replace. CF's were produced first in the USA, then in Canada, U.K., France.
CF's are not pens highly priced on the vintage market and I found the exactly same CF as my beloved missing one. I found even more, three extra one at very reasonable prices, including two NOS (new old stock). These two NOS CF's are two exemplary of likely the two ends of the CF production that lasted from 1953 in the USA and need up in the early 80's in France.
They were produced in amazing number of decorations from the simple resin to sophisticated jewelry in gold or silver.
The "Waterman's C/F, Made in England" found in London, is likely an early UK production with a body in green-blue resin, the cap in in brushed stainless steel with chromed apparats. The gold nib is a 14CT slightly differently mounted and designed than the French one.
The other NOS was found in Milano, Italy is a late French production from the Saint Herblain manufacture near Nantes, that still exists producing Waterman and Parker pens. Its design is so minimalist than it catches immediately the eyes of the connoisseur. The barrel and the cap are in brushed stainless with rhodium (maybe chrome?) plated apparat and a 18K750 nib in white gold of the French medium size (writing like a bold japanese nib). It is really magnificent. The version with golden apparat does matches as well this minimalist decoration.
I inspected, cleaned and inked them with cautions. I decided to use the Waterman's converter and diverse inks for testing. After trial and comparisons, I kept the coral CF with Pilot Iroshisuku shin-kai ink, a superb deep blue. The English C/F is inked with the Waterman Mystery Blue (formal the blue-black of Waterman), and the NOS steel CF is inked with the Pilot Iroshizuku Asa gao ink that is a very pleasant bright blue.
For long storage, and due to the risk of corrosion of the metal decorative inlay on the section, it is safe to empty, flush and dry the pens.
I use the Rhodia papers that are originating from the Rhône-Alpes region (but nowadays produced in Mulhouse) first in Lyon, France, then in the Dauphiné near Grenoble. The "Rhodia Dauphiné" notebook is original old one found in a vintage shop called "Les Ateliers de Marinette", rue Saint Georges ( www.ateliers-marinette.fr ). The Rhodia stationery accessories where ordered from the Rhodia website ( www.bloc-rhodia.com )
Rhodia papers, now owned by Clairefontaine company, are recognized worldwide as one of the most compliant for fountain pen writing.

This experimental Pre-1938 stock never ran in passenger service. First tested on the Piccadilly Line then the Northern Line. At the outbreak of WW2 it was stabled in one of the spare siding off the depot at Edgware where they remained until late 1947 when the whole train (four cars then) was moved over night back to Acton works.

To the left is the old non-used combination ACL & SAL passenger station with with the ACL tracks crossing the diamond in the foreground which ran between Tampa and Orlando through downtown Plant City, Florida, 1974. ACL passengers previously used an attached platform to the left along their mainline. To the right is the old SAL freight depot with it's track heading north across the diamond between the two depots. SAL passengers used the northbound platform along their track on the passenger station. Both of these stations at the time were the property of SCL and had not been used for quite some time. Amtrak was not interested in using them as a passenger stop. At one time during the heyday of Florida passenger railroad opertions, the station complex was quite busy. Check out the old streamlined bus located in the background behind the old SAL freight depot. The ACL mainline when crossed by the SAL on the diamond was protected by the signal located up on the passenger platform to the left side of the track and there was also a protection signal in the opposite direction on this side of the diamond. Today all of the new mainline tracks installed in the area are the property of CSX and Amtrak still uses the former ACL route.

The Oliver 70 was part of the "Streamlined Series" which also included the Oliver 60 and the old style Oliver 88. It was manufactured from 1937 to 1948. The row-crop configuration could have either dual or single front wheels, and even had an adjustable wide front end option. The Oliver 70 was also offered in the standard, orchard and industrial configurations.
They were sold in the USA as the Oliver 70, painted green with red wheels. When sold in Canada they were painted red with cream colored wheels and were sold under the Cockshutt brand as the Cockshutt 70. With the optional 6 speed transmission these tractors are capable of traveling 13 mph down the road. An early advertisement states "Power when you want it - power when you need it - power to help put in crops when field conditions are right and time and help are limited. That's the power you'll find in an Oliver Row Crop 70." The tractors produced during these years were among the finiest and best performaing of the world's farm machines.
Production data shows that almost 63,000 of these units were manufactured. How many are still around today is not known. They are very collectible and we would venture to say that more of them are being cared for as a collection piece than in use for everyday farm chores. Parts are still available from select parts dealers. There are also a few specialty dealers who specialize in only the old Olivers. We see these tractors now and again at the local tractor shows - they are indeed a beautiful, stream-lined machine.

This is the only picture of Joop de Wolff (20 April 1909 - 11 December 1934) I know of.
The same photo in a wider crop you can find here: www.dewielersite.net/db2/wielersite/coureurfiche.php?cour...
We have the bad luck that Joop did not participate in the Amsterdam Six Day in that only year of which the Dutch cycling historian George Hogenkamp published pictures of all participants in Amsterdam.
I came across De Wolff repeatedly while I was digging in the history of the velodrome that was used in the village where I live now. A rural velodrome just outside Amsterdam which at best also played a small role in the life of my grandfather as a pacemaker.
About this Vekabaan are many cycling stories. The following one, the attempt Joop de Wolff made to improve the world hour record, is one of them.
Joop de Wolff and the world hour record
For me the story began as an article in Het Vaderland of Monday, September 2, 1934, written in a formal, a bit old fashion Dutch that I fortunately can not convert to just such English style:
THE WORLD hour record.
Wolf wants a record undertake.
We learn that on Sunday, September 9 the Amsterdam cyclist J. de Wolff will attempt to improve the world hour record of 44.777km. The attempt will take place at the Vekabaan in Duivendrecht.
Yesterday afternoon the Vekabaan is officially measured by a surveyor from the Land Registy. Messrs. G. Hogenkamp and J. Zeegers Veeckens were present as officials from the Dutch Cycling Union (N.W.U.).
Monday, the official papers will be sent to Paris through the N.W.U. to the U.C.I. This is necessary associated with the new provisions, that the U.C.I. first must approve with the attempts which will be done to improve the world record.
It's as good as certain that this approval will be given.
This attempt to improve the world record, caused quite a stir. Joop Wolff made his effort without any additional preparation. Yet he approached the hour record until just a few hundred meters. A very good performance.
The immediate result was that he attracted attention of several foreign directors of a velodrome and that Joop managed to conclude contracts for Paris, Brussels and Ghent. His future looked bright!
However this story ends in tragedy. Maybe because Joop was not wise to his powers, or maybe because he was just unlucky.
From 2 to 8 November 1934 he participated in the “Derde Amsterdamsche Zesdaagsche” ("Third Amsterdam Six Days").
During that six days he again managed to draw the attention.
Together with Jan van der Heijden he ended on a very honorable fifth place with only two laps down. Before riders such as Pellenaars and Braspennix!
Immediately after this six-day Joop Wolff turned out to be ill. With pneumonia he was admitted to the Wilhelmina Gasthuis in Amsterdam. In the next days his condition worsened so that in the end the doctors had to give up hope of recovery. A month later, on December 11 1934 he died at age 25.
He was buried in the Cemetery "Vredenhof" nearby the Haarlemmerweg.
About the world hour record
Earlier that year, 1934, the U.C.I. decided not to recognize any record that was achieved on a recumbent or other streamlined bike.
Also, it prohibited the use of those bikes in races.
That is why on paper the hour record was not improved between 1914 and 1933.
Then the Dutchman Jan van Hout in Roermond set the record at 44.588 km, a distance that was improved the same year by Frenchman Maurice Richard in Sint-Truiden.
In reality in 1932 the record on a recumbent / streamlined stood already at 49.99 km (realized by Marcel Berhet).

Recent shift to AMC enables streamlined logistics services

CAMP CASEY, SOUTH KOREA – The logisticians who look after Warrior Country’s transportation, maintenance and supply needs are now able to provide even more robust services thanks to a recent change that gives them broader, faster reach into the Army’s overall logistics network.
