Short S.17 Kent Flying Boat
The Short S.17 Kent was a British 4-engined 15-seat biplane luxury flying-boat airliner, designed and built by Shorts to meet a requirement from Imperial Airways Limited for an aircraft with greater range than the Calcutta. The new aircraft was to have sufficient range to fly the stage from Mirabella, Crete, to Alexandria in Egypt without the need for refuelling stops in Italian colonial territory, there having been a political row which had led the Italian Government to ban British aircraft from its ports. Three aircraft were built, each receiving its own name: "Scipio", "Sylvanus" and "Satyrus"; they were referred to collectively within Imperial Airlines as the "Scipio Class" boats. Each had an aircrew of three (two pilots and a radio operator/navigator) and a steward to prepare meals and light refreshments for the passengers. The Short Kent flying boat was essentially an enlarged, four-engined version of the Calcutta, with the same passenger carrying capacity but with an increased payload for mail. It was powered by four Bristol Jupiter XFBM radial engines mounted on vertical struts between the upper and lower planes. The wings were constructed using corrugated duralumin box spars, tubular rib assemblies, with a fabric covering and Frise ailerons on all four wings. Duralumin walkways were provided to allow ready access to the engines for maintenance purposes. The tail unit comprised a braced monoplane tailpane with a single fin; the rudder was fitted with a Flettner trimming aerofoil on the Short Scylla which had the same aerostructure as the Kent. The anodised duralumin fuselage was mounted below the lower wing, with the planing bottom of the hull made of stainless steel (as on the Singapore II) with a transverse main step. The use of stainless steel reduced the frequency of land inspections of the hull. The bimetallic corrosion problems experienced on the Singapore II hull had been solved, so Short Brothers became the first company to master the technique of building seaplane floats and flying-boat hulls in this combination of metals. A quick-release hook (controlled by the pilots) was provided, which enabled the captain to start, warm up and (when required) run all four engines up to full power for take-off while the aircraft was still attached to the mooring buoy. Maximum comfort was required for passengers and crew: the Kent's passenger cabin was 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) wide and 14 ft (4.27 m) long. The seating was arranged in four rows of facing pairs, with a centre aisle, Pullman style. The steward's pantry, situated on the port side aft of the passenger cabin, was equipped with twin-burner oil stoves on which IAL Stewards (and the valets of valued passengers) could cook meals in flight. The toilet and washroom were opposite the pantry; the mail and freight compartment was further aft. Special attention was paid to sound levels in the passenger cabin and crew's stations; accordingly the engines were fitted with exhaust collector rings and long tail pipes, to reduce exhaust noise inside the hull. The cockpit, for two pilots, was fully enclosed with a separate Radio Officer's station directly aft of the cockpit. In October 1930, Short Bros. started building the first of the three S.17 Kent flying-boats (G-ABFA, named Scipio). It was launched and flown on 24 February 1931 by Shorts' Chief Test Pilot J. Lankester Parker and was in service in the Mediterranean in May of that year. The second (G-ABFB, named Sylvanus) was launched on 31 March 1931; the third Kent (G-ABFC, Satyrus) was launched on 30 April 1931 and flown for the first time on 2 May 1931. Imperial Airways used the Kent aircraft on the Mediterranean stages of its routes to India and beyond, also using them to survey planned routes to South Africa and Australia. On 22 August 1936 "Scipio", on its way back from India, flipped over and sank in "Mirabella Harbour" (between the mainland and the island of Spinalonga) after landing heavily, killing the two crew members. "Sylvanus" was destroyed by fire at Brindisi on 9 November 1935, killing all on board. Only "Satyrus" survived to be taken out of service and scrapped in June 1938. In 1933 Imperial Airways placed an order for two landplanes based on the Kent; known initially as the S.17/L and later as the L.17, these became the Short Scylla, of which two were built and given the names "Scylla" and "Syrinx".

BOWLUS Road Chief Vintage Travel trailer Airstream
GREAT BOWLUS Road Chief Vintage Travel trailer forerunner Airstream .Still Restoration is going. Two hundred Road Chief trailers were eventually produced by the Bowlus-Teller Manufacturing Company, in San Fernando, California, from 1934 to '36. To quote the brochure: "The body and chassis of 'The Bowlus Road Chief' is constructed of rust proof steel tubing, acetylene welded together, covered with duralumin closely rivited." "The interior of 'The Bowlus Road Chief' is lined with suitable material for beautiful and attractive decorating." "The outer walls of 'The Bowlus Road Chief' are throughly insulated agaist heat." "The streamlining of 'The Bowlus Road Chief' is the result of years of experience in aircraft building and wind tunnel experimentation. Proper streamlining insures economy, prevents strain on the auto, creates exceptional riding qualities, and adds greatly to its beauty." |

Vickers Virginia flight ops 1935
The Vickers Virginia was a biplane heavy bomber of the British Royal Air Force, developed from the Vickers Vimy. The work on the Virginia was started in 1921 as a replacement to the Vimy. The Virginia was similar to the Vimy, but notably had a lowered front gunner's pulpit to allow the pilot a greater field of view, 20 feet (6 meter) greater wingspan, and a 9 ft (2.7 m) longer fuselage. The Virginia was powered by twin Napier Lion engines which provided it with almost twice as much power as the Vimy. The Virginia flew for the first time on 24 November 1922. At the Aircraft Experimental Establishment at Martlesham, the Virginia prototype underwent type trials. One of the first modifications was to replace the original two-bladed propellers with a four-bladed example. An unusual set of "fighting top" turrets were added to the top wings but were later deleted from production aircraft. The Marks I-VI had straight wings, whereas the Mark VII introduced swept outer wings. Starting with the Mark III the Virginia mounted a rear fuselage gunner, who was moved into a tail turret in the Mark VII. The Mark X was introduced in late 1924 and featured a duralumin and steel structure covered in fabric, aluminum, and wood. A total of 124 Virginias were built, of which 50 were Mark X variants. The first squadron of Mark I Virginias was assembled in 1924. Despite mediocre performance the aircraft served frontline units until 1938, when it was replaced by the newer Wellingtons, Hampdens and Whitleys. The final almost all-metal Virginia Mark X were the most numerous RAF bombers until the ascendance of the Heyford in 1934. After its technical obsolescence as a bomber it was used for photography and for parachute training, with jump platforms installed behind the engine nacelles. On 26 June 1940, a committee discussing the need for airborne cannon for use against invasion tanks included the perhaps non-serious suggestion of equipping Virginias with the equally antiquated 37mm COW gun. This was not acted on. In the 1930s the Virginias were used in some of the first tests of midair refueling, although they were never used in this role outside of tests. The Virginia was developed in parallel with the Vickers Victoria freighter, and the two aircraft had much in common, notably sharing the same design of wing. The Virginias were highly accident prone, with 81 lost in this manner. Despite their obsolete status, Virginias continued to soldier on in support roles with the Parachute Test Flight at Henlow until December 1941. General characteristics Crew: Four Length: 52 ft 3 in (15.93 m) Wingspan: 87ft 8 in (26.77 m) Height: 18 ft 2 in (5.54 m) Wing area: 663.85 ft² (202.34 m²) Empty weight: 9,650 lb (4,377 kg) Loaded weight: lb (kg) Max takeoff weight: 17,620lb (7,993 kg) Powerplant: 2× Napier Lion VB Inline Piston , 580 hp (432.7 kW) each Performance Maximum speed: 108 mph (173 km/h) Range: 985 miles (1585 km) Service ceiling: 15,500 ft (4,725 m) Rate of climb: ft/min (m/s) Wing loading: lb/ft² (kg/m²) Power/mass: hp/lb (kW/kg) Armament 3× .303 Vickers machine gun 3,000 lb (1,360 kg) of bombs |

sea lion engine
The Sealion Ref: Sealion The Sealion engine was released in 1959, coinciding with the launch of BMC's Mini and the opening of the UK's first motorway, the M1. The Sealion sports a gear driven overhead cam; an expensive performance feature for 1959; limited to manufacturers such as Jaguar, Aston Martin and Mercedes Benz. Whilst adding to the complexity of the valve train, the Sealion's SOHC arrangement offers more efficient breathing with higher compression ratios. This is a high performance engine and to many it is also Westbury's most refined and ambitious project. The Sealion has a bore x stroke of Ø7/8" x ¾" providing a swept displacement of 29.6cc (1.8 cu.in.). The flat faced cylinder head seats 8 vertical valves, operated by short rockers from an offset, 8-lobe camshaft. The camshaft is supported by 3 bearings within a separately mounted housing, the base of which closes off the water jacket. Westbury calls for a rocker cover formed from 1/16" sheet but many constructors substitute a Perspex/Plexiglas cover. The mechanism is simply too attractive to be hidden away! The Sealion's crankshaft runs in 3 main bearings; 2 outboard ball races and a central spilt-shell leaded bronze bush. Connecting rods are machined from solid Duralumin and it is suggested that the big end cap bolts are security-wired. The Sealion engine includes an oil and water pump; a total of 10 gears make up the drives to the camshaft and auxiliaries! A cast oil trough sits just out of reach of the crank, providing a pool for the big ends to dip into and a baffle to keep the sump level steady enough to prevent cavitation of the oil pump. The material kit includes a moulded cap for the distributor which is driven directly from the cam. |

Kawasaki, Z1-R (〈 Zi 〉one of Zet are), and Z1R-II (Zettowan'arluts) are motorcycles of total displacement 1000cc class that Kawasaki Heavy Industries manufactured and was selling. Z1-R The type with the cafe racer image that had become popular as an additional model at that time was developed because it met various needs though Z1000 that was the succession of Z1/Z900 existed in one-liter class of Kawasaki. Having been sent as a model in 1978 is this Z1-R (Z1000-D1) as a result. The style that multiused a past curve was assumed the setting only of one blue metallic color that coloring had darned also to emphasize a metallic feeling by the one to image the Japanese sword with a beautiful figure slight though it changed completely, and it was based on the straight line. Two characters of "Z1" were revived to the car name, and it treated to the black that engine Nuiro is the same as initial Z1. The cost was multiplied by the equipment goods as the aluminum Cast wheel of the first Kawasaki and "4 in 1" set tube were installed, the fuel gauge and the ammeter besides rotation speed/total were prepared for among bikini Cowling et al., and the auto cancellation mechanism was added to winkers. It output it according to the adoption of the large caliber carburetor with the acceleration pump though a basic block of the engine was the same as that of Z1000 (Z1000-A2) of the model in 1978 90 Ps (Z1000 was 83 ps) was demonstrated, and the differentiation as a special model was aimed at. It became a sharp appreciation of the yen at this time, and after it had been done, the price hike simultaneously was pricing higher than original Z1000-A2 of the base model, and was not able to leave the result for this age necessarily well by the performance comparison with one-liter class of rival each company put on the market each company. Furthermore, it came to sell 15,000 or more all over the world though a lot of negative factors like the recall commotion etc. that coiled round the front wheel of 18 inches were held. The expression that made Z1-R such as "It was faster than Z1-R" and "The novelty of the styling is inferior to that of Z1-R" an object of comparison overflowed in the test article with media, and it became a bench mark in all respects next year of this Z1-R sale though rival each company in Japan turned on the new model to one-liter class one after another. |

There's A Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder - All Star Orchestra
"There's A Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder" played by the All Star Orchestra, a Victor studio group under the direction of Nat Shilkret. Great solos from Tommy Dorsey on trombone, Andy Sanella on alto sax, and Mike Mosiello on trumpet. One of my favorite recordings from the Roaring Twenties. The record player is an Orthophonic Victrola model VE4-4X, or "Granada". The "E" in the model number indicates that the Victrola is fitted with a synchronous A/C motor instead of a wind-up motor. The machine has a full "orthophonic" playback system (for electrically-recorded records) including the special orthophonic sound box with a duralumin diaphragm and a folded exponential horn inside of the cabinet. Although the gigantic Credenza Victrola produced deeper bass, the Granada had the most accurate overall frequency response of all the acoustic Orthophonic Victrolas. The serial number indicates that this machine was probably manufactured in 1926. I shoot my video with a Sony Digital 8 format camera. For audio, I use a Shure SM-57 microphone on a stand placed about 4 feet in front of the Victrola horn. I use "soft tone" needles to keep from overloading the microphone. The mic is plugged directly into the video camera. The videos are edited with Windows Movie Maker. I use Sound Forge 9 to clean up the audio, but don't worry -- you're hearing the record exactly as the Victrola plays it!

The Stampede by Fletcher Henderson and his Orch.
"The Stampede," written and recorded by Fletcher Henderson and his Orchestra in 1926. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better example of Roaring Twenties hot jazz than this superb recording by the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, regarded at the time as the top hot jazz band in America. Newcomer Rex Stewart takes the opening trumpet break, followed by solos from Coleman Hawkins and Joe Smith. A tight reed ensemble precedes a final hot break by Stewart. The band isn't "swinging" just yet, but there is no denying the abundant energy and flair displayed by the Henderson band on this tune.

The machine has a full "orthophonic" playback system (for electrically-recorded records) including the special orthophonic sound box with a duralumin diaphragm and a folded exponential horn inside of the cabinet. Although the gigantic Credenza Victrola produced deeper bass, the Granada had the most accurate overall frequency response of all the acoustic Orthophonic Victrolas. The serial number indicates that this machine was probably manufactured in 1926. I shoot my video with a Sony Digital 8 format camera. For audio, I use a Shure SM-57 microphone on a stand placed about 4 feet in front of the Victrola horn. I use "soft tone" needles to keep from overloading the microphone. The mic is plugged directly into the video camera. The videos are edited with Windows Movie Maker. I use Sound Forge 9 to clean up the audio, but don't worry -- you're hearing the record exactly as the Victrola plays it!

"Clementine" by Jean Goldkette
"Clementine" was recorded by the Jean Goldkette Orchestra in Leiderkranz Hall in New York City on Sept. 15, 1927. The session was supervised by Leroy Shield. The Goldkette Orchestra had been struggling financially and the members knew that this would be their last recording session. The performance was adapted by the orchestra from a stock arrangement. Soloists are Bill Rank, trombone, Eddie Lang, guitar, Bix Beiderbecke, cornet, and Joe Venuti, violin. It is considered to be the finest performance of the Goldkette Orchestra captured on records.

A Bag of Blues - Jack Pettis and his Pets
"A Bag of Blues" recorded by Jack Pettis and his Pets. This tune was one of several written by Pettis that he recorded for many different record labels during the late 1920's, but I believe this version is the best one that he waxed.

"China Boy" by Paul Whiteman
"China Boy" was recorded by the Paul Whiteman Orchestra on May 3, 1929. Cornetist Bix Beiderbecke had been ill for some time and had just recently rejoined the orchestra when this record was made. During this time, Bix was playing most of his solos into a felt hat, which masked his weakened tone. Although Bix's solo in "China Boy" is only 16 bars long, it is considered by many to be one of the finest solos he ever recorded. The record player is an Orthophonic Victrola model VE4-4X, or "Granada". The "E" in the model number indicates that the Victrola is fitted with a synchronous A/C motor instead of a wind-up motor. The machine has a full "orthophonic" playback system (for electrically-recorded records) including the special orthophonic sound box with a duralumin diaphragm and a folded exponential horn inside of the cabinet.

For audio, I use a Shure SM-57 microphone on a stand placed about 4 feet in front of the Victrola horn. Although I normally use "soft tone" needles, this video was made with a "bright" or "loud" tone needle. The mic is plugged directly into the video camera. The videos are edited with Windows Movie Maker. I use Sound Forge 9 to clean up the audio, but don't worry -- you're hearing the record exactly as the Victrola plays it!
