A brochure issued by the then might Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Company Limited, part of AEI, and based at the massive Trafford Park works in Manchester. It is written by Ir. S S Koldijk, the chief engineer of the Rotterdamse Electrische Tramways and concerns the batch of 36 trailers and 34 motor cars that were constructed as post-WW2 replacements for older and war damaged rolling stock for the undertaking. It appears that two experimental motor-cars were ordered first and that originally all 70 cars of the order, placed with Koninklijke Fabrieken van Meubelem en Spoorweg-materieel NV Allen & Co, were to be trailers, this being amended as described. The orders were complicated by post-war shortages and so various components were sourced from many suppliers. This included the 36 sets of electrical equipment ordered from M-V with others being sourced from N.V. Electrotechnische Industrie v/h Willem Smit, Slikkerveer.
The eighteen pages of the brochure give great technical detail as to the manufacturing, construction and performance of these units along with images of car 102. Other manufacturers mentioned include Laycock Engineering of Sheffield, John Baker & Bessemer Ltd, Rotherham and David Brown of Huddersfield all then in West Yorkshire. The Dutch rubber concern of Vredesteyn is mentioned along with L Dikkers of Henglo and wiring by Croon & Co of Rotterdam.

International Military Technical Forum "ARMY-2017" on August 25, 2017. Live demonstration of Russian Armed Forces equipment at the Alabino Range near Patriot Park outside Moscow. BAZ-69092-021. This truck is produced by the Bryansk Automobile Plant (BAZ). It is used as a towing vehicle for the 5157A power generator and the 63T6A power converter for the S-400 missile system.
On Monday evening I got a message from a contact on Flickr saying she worked near to the Flatiron Building, and would we like to meet? We would, but it turned out that technical issues with Jools’ new mobile, and whatever meant that once we left the hotel room, we could not make contact with her, so we said we would be out front of the Flatiron at three, hope to see her there.
She had recommended that we visit the Oculus at the World Trade Center, a huge white egg-shaped building, which is a transport hub, and is very photogenic.
We left the hotel and walked down to the 24hour diner, had breakfast; then walked to the subway station and boarded a southbound train to the new WTC station.
Turns out Diane was right, the building is huge, pure white and supported by ribs like some kind of monster’s skeleton. I am trying to describe it, but really, words fail me on this. At either end there were ergonomically designed stairways that looked amazing.
We went outside, and were dazzled by the ring of huge buildings, including the new Freedom Tower. On the ground in front of us was an artisan market, that we did not look at.
We walked round the building, back inside to look for the subway station to take us to Midtown, but the signs took us on a long route, coming to another new part of the interchange, and another stunning piece of building design.
We stopped to take more pictures, obviously.
We took a train north, getting off near to Central Park, emerging back into the daylight at the corner of the park, where a dozen folks suggested that the park was so big we should consider taking a rickshaw or a carriage. We declined and went to walk on our own.
The park is something for everyone; a park, sports arena, exercise gym, wildlife sanctuary, quiet space. And so on.
We wander heading across the park, stopping to look at wildlife when we saw it, grackles, starlings, sparrows, butterflies and squirrels.
I had a plan, to walk down 5th Avenue to be at the Flatiron to meet Diane. Simples. I suppose its about 330 or so blocks, which didn’t sound so bad. But, upper 5th Avenue is lined with designer shops, all with no customers, but the sidewalks jammed with people made walking a real struggle.
We passed Trump Tower or shot central as I renamed it. Down and down we walked, hot and bothered and very footsore. Down one of the side streets I saw a pub. They’re pubs not bars now, anyway, we go in get a table and have lunch. Nachos with chili for me, and a glass of Hoegaarden, which hit the spot.
It is always fun to people watch, and especially guess the story of the Russian couple sitting on the next table.
Once we had eaten and drunk well of beer, Coke and water, we went back onto 5th Avenue and carried on south. But we made good time, and we were soon passing Empire State Building, so from there it was just a handful of blocks to our destination, and we arrived with nearly an hour to spare.
We sat in Madison Park for a while, then went out to the front of the Flatiron to wait.
Three came and went, so I went to look at people waiting, and after a while saw a lady with a DSLR and large lens attached, she was waiting at a table:
Diane I asked. It was.
We went back over to meet with Jools, then walk up to a Belgian bar for a brew and to talk. And talk.
Time flew, I guess we were there a couple of hours, but we had one final appointment, that is to snap Manhattan from the ferry in the blue hour. So, we bid Diane farewell, and we walked west to the subway station to catch another train back to South Ferry.
We arrive at just gone 5, and with ferries departing every 15 minutes, we had to time our trip to ensure the sun had set and there was still light in the sky. We waited at the waterfront, watching the sun set behind the distant Statue of Liberty.
At the last minute I decide we needed to be on the six o’clock sailing, with that having dicked, we had to rush to the terminal, but get on and take up position at the railings on the starboard side as it had the best views.
The sun was setting, casting stunning light on Manhattan, I took many shots until the scen went out of view as we sailed further out into the Hudson River.
The sun set red and angry behind the Jersey shore, and made for more great shots. But already thoughts were on whether we could catch the next ferry back.
The ferry docked, and we rushed round to board it, and at least with a return sailing at this time of the day meant the ferry was almost empty. But then we’re all photographers now, so the railings on the port side.
We had timed it perfectly, as once we neared the City again, there was some light in the sky, and the skyscrapers were all lit u. It was magical really, just the shots I wanted to take. I rattled off dozens of shots, as did Jools on her new phone.
Soon enough we were back on land.
We caught a train north to Chambers Street, getting off to find the place we ate at the first night we were in the city. We found it, and they had a table. The waitress even recognised us as she took our order. We had ribs and corn again, and was just as good, as we waited I took in the atmosphere of watching the game in New York as the Yankees were preparing to save their season against the Red Sox.
We had eaten after two innings, with the score still at zeros.
I say we should make tracks now, so I could watch the conclusion in our room. It is half an hour walk to the hotel, but our feet now knew the way, so we stumbled down darkened streets and convenience stores all lit up like Christmas.
When we got back, the Sox were 3-0 u, and score a forth with a homer. I lay on the bed watching the game, and nearly did it, but slipped into sleep in the middle of the 9th, thus missing out on the climax of the game. It would be morning before I found out the Sox held on to win 4-3.
The 1924 Targa Florio winner car was a 2 liter, 4 cylinder, super-charged Mercedes, with Chistian Werner at the wheel. This car is an early example of the famous Merceds Compressor series, culminating in the famous SSK and SSKL.
Unlike the usual white livery of the Mercedes racers, this car was actually painted red: Rumour has it this was a camouflage strategy to stop Italian fanatics from throwing rocks at the passing car, because it might be taken for Italian.
In the 1920ies, the race cars were actually driven to the race track on public roads like normal automobiles. For this trip, mudguards and license plates had to be mounted, to comply with traffic regulations. My model is shown in both configurations: as a slick racer, and as a roadworthy automobile.
Lego model with four-cylinder engine, two speed gearbox, differential, leaf spring suspension, steering, and operational hand crank.
...dialed in, works great! I just replaced the stylus here. It's ready to present to my daughter on her 17th birthday.
Yes, temporarily suspended on coffee cups to allow the amp to remain ventilated. :-P
finally set up the decks in their final resting place (overlooking the sea), and busted out a handful of vinyl.

To get the best support for the rear wheels, I dug up some Matoran parts.

Jordanville Technical School opened in 1954 on a site along Vannam Drive, Ashwood, between Damper and Gardiner's Creeks (see J 10 in the 1966 Melways). This posed problems not solved until, due to continued housing development, Damper Creek was replaced by a drain and Gardiner's Creek was diverted. This made 'grounds improvement' possible. The technical schools predated the first high school in the area, Ashwood High School opening in 1958. This was perhaps an indication of the perceived social status of the working class Jordanville Housing Commission estate.
Ashwood College was formed in 1988 from the merger of Ashwood High School and Jordanville Technical School. The new school was located on the High School site and the Technical School site, across the road, was developed for housing in 1993. Beechwood Terrace, Scenic Drive and Clearview Close are located on the former Jordanville Technical School site.
Ashwood State School was adjoining and directly to the south of Jordanville Technical School. This location was also developed for housing, with Malmsbury Drive, and Peppermint and Lavender courts on the former primary school site.

There have been many reviews that the pilot phase alias startup business in a business is a stage filled with trials and challenges. One of them is to build teamwork. For a startup with a large enough scale, of course, solid team work and the vision is a very important...
