For the first time since the 1930s, the legendary 'Silver Arrows' were united on track in dramatic parades with their rivals.
The Silver Arrows demonstration evokes the noise and fury of the years leading up to the Second World War, with a stunning collection of Auto Union and Mercedes Benz racers. As well as the all-conquering Germans, those who competed against them were also honoured.
A pair of Alfa Romeos take to the track, including a Tipo 158 'Alfetta' - the model whose thunder was stolen by the Mercedes Benz W165, built in secret to comply with the 1.5-litre Voiturette formula. Neither ERA nor Maserati could stem the silver tide, and likewise Bugatti's last hurrah, the Type 59/50B, though wondrous to behold, also failed to challenge the exquisitely engineered German machines.

This car also raced in the Goodwood Trophy, a 20-minute race for Grand Prix and Voiturette cars of a type that raced between 1930 and 1950.

Built in 1935-1939, this Modern house, an example of Organic Architecture, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the family of department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. to serve as a weekend retreat. The house was a catalyst for the revitalization of Frank Lloyd Wright’s career, who was in his mid-60s at the time, along with two other commissions around the same time, the Johnson Wax Headquarters and the Jacobs House I, which were critically acclaimed and explored a bold new direction of organic architecture that was heavily inspired from their natural surroundings, and were streamlined, dropping most of the ornamental pretenses of his earlier work. The house was built for department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., his wife, Liliane Kaufmann, and their only son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., to serve as the family’s weekend retreat, with room to accommodate a small staff and guests alongside the family. The Kaufmann family became acquainted with the work of Wright through Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who read Frank Lloyd Wright’s autobiography in 1934, and was so impressed that he decided to intern at the Taliesin Fellowship, where Edgar, Sr. and Liliane first met Wright while visiting Edgar, Jr. The family, at the time, resided in a traditional-style mansion in Fox Chapel, near Pittsburgh, and had a small rustic cabin overlooking the waterfall at the Fallingwater site. The cabins were falling into disrepair in the mid-1930s, which prompted the Kaufmann family to contact Wright to design a replacement structure. Wright visited and surveyed the area around Bear Run in 1934, but shelved the project while pursuing other work for the next few months, thinking through the design, before being surprised by a visit from Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. in September 1935, which prompted Wright to quickly draw a concept for a house at Bear Run, producing the initial design drawings in two hours. Edgar, Sr., upon seeing the plans, was surprised to see the house soaring above the waterfall, as he had expected it to sit below the falls in order to view them from a distance, but Wright’s charisma convinced a skeptical Kaufmann to buy into the concept.
The house was designed by Wright with input from structural engineers Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters to feature large cantilevers, which allowed it to embrace the waterfall and topography below, while providing ample outdoor space and the desired number of bedrooms and living spaces within. A second wing was constructed above the main house, linked to it via a covered breezeway, which houses a carport, servants quarters, and a guest suite. The stone utilized in the house’s construction was quarried on the site, and it utilized reinforced concrete in its construction, a building technique with which Wright was inexperienced, but which the design would be impossible to implement without utilizing. Kaufmann was skeptical of Wright’s experience with the technique, as well as the cantilevered forms of the structure, and commissioned an engineering report, compiled by an engineering firm, which caused Wright to threaten to walk away from the incomplete project. Kaufmann relented in the face of Wright’s ultimatum, and had the documents buried. However, the contractor, feeling uneasy about the strength of Wright’s design, added extra reinforcement in secret, which was revealed during the building’s restoration. Other changes were made due to skepticism of the cantilevered design, but many of these were reversed, which proved the resiliency and strength of the design. The house came in far over budget, but despite these cost overruns and complications with the design, the Kaufmann family enjoyed it as a weekend retreat between 1937 and 1963. Liliane Kaufmann died in 1952, and Edgar Kaufmann, Sr. died in 1955, leaving the house to their son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who continued to utilize the house as a weekend retreat, with his life partner, Paul Mayén, becoming a regular visitor to the house as well. In 1963, Edgar, Jr. donated the property to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, along with the surrounding property, which was converted into a nature reserve, and the house was opened for public tours.
The house features multiple reinforced concrete cantilevers, wrap-around windows facing the falls and Bear Run, open, transparent corners on the side of the building facing the creek, stone cladding on the more opaque portions of the facade, large terraces on the cantilevered portions of the building, open tread staircases inside and outside the building, red metal trim, a suspended concrete canopy over the breezeway connecting the guest wing and carport with the main house, a swimming pool on the terrace outside the guest wing, rocks embedded into the floors of the interior of the house, a staircase from the living room down to Bear Run below, and red concrete floors inside. A driveway, following Bear Run, crosses a bridge next to the main wing of the house before following a narrow corridor between the main wing and an adjacent stone outcropping, before turning and arriving at the upper wing, which originally housed a four-bay carport on the lower floor. The interior of the house is very open to the exterior, with low furnishings that allow for maximization of the views out of the windows, and is home to art that was collected by Liliane, books collected by Edgar, Jr. and Paul, and furnishings collected by Edgar, Sr. The house’s kitchen features yellow-painted metal cabinets and appliances, and chrome handles, the living room features a fireplace with a spherical beverage warmer that is designed to swing over to the fireplace from its storage location next to the fireplace and coffered ceilings, and horizontal bands of trim, and various portions of the house feature built-in desks, cabinets, wooden slat screens, and bookshelves, simple beds featuring wooden headboards and nightstands in the bedrooms, and bathrooms with cork tiles, sunken bathtubs, ceiling-mounted shower heads, and toilets with wall-embedded tanks. The upper wing of the house has a carport and guest suite on the lower floor, with servants quarters above, and the main house features a living room, dining room, kitchen, terraces and lounge on the first floor, a primary suite and secondary bedroom and bathroom with large terraces on the second floor, and a suite intended for Edgar, Jr. on the third floor, which was later partially converted into an office. The house is very broad in the direction parallel to Bear Run and has a living room that cantilevers over the creek, but it is very thin, being rather thin, with primary interior spaces featuring windows that look out onto Bear Run below. The house, despite its size appearing massive due to its spatial arrangement, has only a small interior square footage, but the space is efficiently designed to offer maximum utility to the occupants, and allow a close connection with nature.
The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It was designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, in 2019. A visitor center was constructed on the property in 1977-1979, designed by Paul Mayen. The most visible modification to the house since it was opened to the public were the enclosure of three carport bays to house a museum and presentation space for visitors. The house underwent major alterations to its structural systems in 1995-2002, involving analyzing the performance of the cantilevers over time since the house’s construction, as the bold cantilevered forms had insufficient reinforcement and had deflected substantially, nearing their failure points. Additional steel supports and post-tensioning in the form of steel cables were added to the building to support the cantilevers, which has halted the progression of the deflection of the structure, though it is monitored by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in order to detect any further movement of the structure. The house today sees over one-hundred thousand visitors annually, and is one of the most well-known works of Wright, as well as being one of the best-known houses in the United States.
I got to stay at this wonderful streamlined masterpiece. This back lounge was once the "Babalou Room" where Frank Sintra was known to perform. It's now the hotel's dining room.

The Streamlined Classical style building was funded by the Public Works Administration (PWA). It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011 (NRHP No. 11000455 as the Tennessee State Office Building).
The 360 controller is a streamlined evolution of the XBox S controller. Gone are White and Black, having morphed into the shoulder buttons “LB” and “RB”. “Back” and “Start” have moved to the center of the controller, where they belong, the slots for memory cards are thankfully gone, and there is now a system button, which acts as a power button or brings up the system menu. I also want to point out how much I like the battery handling on the wireless controllers for the 360. When the battery gets low, the controller lights start to noticeably flash, more and more frequently. To charge, just connect the cable and keep playing. If you don’t connect in time and the battery does die, then the game will immediately freeze until you connect the charger or change the batteries, and it will remain frozen until you explicitly resume the game. Some games will even pause themselves. This stands in contrast to the Wii, where the batteries just die and so do you, because the game didn’t stop.

In 1935, Nigel Gresley designed the Silver Jubilee, a train that became a design icon of the 1930s. Its silver streamlined form streaked between London and Newcastle in four hours. This poster was produced for London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote the service, which travelled at an average speed of 67.08 mph.

Two different yard jobs blur past my location at a whopping 10 MPH. One shoving back into the yard, and another pulling a cut of cars out. Meanwhile storm clouds seem to threaten the area, but produce no results.

[There are 8 images in this set] Pyramid Motors in Lynchburg, Virginia, an automobile dealership for Ford and Lincoln, came into being in 1937. Located on Federal Street, the building is described stylistically as Art Deco or Art Moderne. Built from plans of local architect Stanhope Johnson, Robert John Keller Jr., the structure has a brick foundation and brick walls with an asphalt roof. The building is a one-story, long streamlined structure with a yellow brick facade, accented in the upper part by horizontal bands of red and yellow brick. Three distinct areas characterize the dealership: (1) the semi-circular entrance featuring corbelled yellow brick with a red, circular metal canopy attached to the building by chains; (2) the showroom located to the left of the entry with red as the dominant color and with a wall of large windows through which the automobiles could tempt prospective customers; (3) and the service area to the right of the entrance, using yellow brick as the major color, and with banks of multiple-light steel windows divided by wide brick pilasters. A large chimney is above the service area. The structure presumably reflected the streamlined cars being sold, especially the Lincoln Zephyr. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln-Zephyr ). In 1948 the building was sold and housed the Turner Buick Corporation, which operated until 1975. It's had other uses since then and currently is used by Centra Health for its PACE program--Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly.
The building has an individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places, listed November 1, 2007 with ID #07001140. The pdf file of the nomination form is located at

If you scratch that Imron paint on my streamlined tender, I will destroy your front end loader. This is one big steam engine. I have always felt privledged to have seen it and ridden behind it when Southern operated it as part of their steam program. Wish I could remember the dates or the place. But that is irrelevant to me as I was there.

Virginia & Truckee Railroad McKeen Motor Car No. 22. This unique self-propelled train car was built in 1910 by the McKeen Motor Car Company of Omaha, Nebraska. It had a very sleek, streamlined look for it's day, including a wind resistant front nose. Sold for scrap in 1946, for many years the body was part of a local plumbing store in Carson City. It has recently been restored to its former glory.
American Freedom Train led by Southern Pacific GS-4 class steam locomotive # 4449 is passing through Largo while heading to Tampa, Florida, during December 1976. The locomotive was built by LIMA in 1941, and is a modern, semi-streamlined, oil-burning, 4-8-4, Northern class steam locomotive built to haul luxury passenger trains in California. The train is operating on the SCL (former ACL) mainline to Clearwater where it will switch over to the former SAL mainline heading to Tampa. The AFT is bound for it's next display and exhibit stop in Lakeland, Florida.

The glossy brochure issued by the British Transport Commission who, along with the railways that served the Terminal, operated the UK's ex-railways docks, harbours and inland waterways through the Docks and Inland Waterways Executive. It describes the fine Ocean Terminal constructed in post-war austerity and opened on 31 July 1950 to serve the then huge numbers of passengers who travelled on liner services and arrived or departed Southampton by rail. As can be seen the Terminal was designed to deal with a full range of services from arrival or departure by train at 'ground level' and on upper floors services such as baggage, customs and passport control were situated along with a wide range of almost airport style passenger amenities; banks, shops and restuarants.
Architecturally there is something of a Festival of Britain style but overall it has a feel of a pre-war design that was dusted down and I suspect that the Southern Railway, who pre-nationalisation ran Southampton's Docks, may have had a design that was delayed by war. There is a certain restraint in terms of design shown here - but very plush and quite corporate. I like that very corporate look that includes all the service areas, shops and banks.
I quote R P Biddle, the Docks and Marine Manager of the Transport Commission - "there is a streamlined efficiency about the operations which the ocean passenger of today rightly expects and which instantly creates a favourable impression". Oddly no architect is credited.
But it was all very commodious and in pre-jet aviation days it was one of the ports of entry or exit to the UK and I wonder how many passengers waved hello or goodbye to people standing on the liner-like decks of the building over the years.
As liner traffic decreased in the 1960s the Terminal saw less and less use and was finally closed in 1980 and sadly, amidst some protest, it was demolished in 1983. A shame really as within a decade Southampton was busy again with cruise ship traffic and my, would not this building restored have made quite the sight?
