This one looks fairly steeply pitched.

Reminds me of the cabin I had during the summers of '74 & '75. Loved living there.

Have you ever wondered how people lived when they got to the Outlet before their houses were constructed?
Some were able to make their own tents with the resources they brought with them, or some purchased them! Shown here is a group of people with tents and wagons to give them shelter until they were able to get houses built. Lumber was scarce in the area, and expensive. As a result, often times, the first houses built here were made of sod!


We all know about the iconic southernmost buoy in Key West, but did you know there’s a similar landmark at the northernmost point of the continental United States? That one is in Angle Inlet, Minnesota.

Electronic fuel injected AMC 327 V8.....from 1957! This particular engine was a showpiece from the New York Auto Show of that year, although AMC had plans to offer this engine in the 1957 Rambler Rebel. The EFI version of the 327 was fitted with Bendix's 'Electrojector' system, which had been in development since around 1955.
The Electrojector system was of a port-type, batch fire layout, with each cylinder having its own fuel injector pointing down into the intake ports. AMC used a single throttle body, with a dual point distributor controlling both the firing of the ignition system and injectors. I believe injector pulse width was controlled by the breaker point dwell, but I may be mistaken. A very basic (by modern standards) ECU managed the entire system, although it gave AMC problems. In real-world use, the wax coated capacitors inside the ECU would melt from normal underhood temperatures, and the cold starting system Bendix employed was never completely satisfactory. It used a thermal "choke" with a bimetallic coil spring and a fast idle cam, much like carburetors of the day. Unfortunately, this design didn't start reliably enough on cold days to gain approval from AMC executives for regular production.
Alas, due to the aforementioned drivability issues, the EFI option for the 327 was scrubbed at the last minute (in favor of a Carter WCFB 4-barrel carburetor instead). Chrysler played around with a dual throttle body version of the Electrojector system as well, although Management eventually came to the same conclusions as AMC-novel idea, but expensive and not quite ready for the public in the 1950s. However, it wouldn't be long before Bosch licensed the Electrojector designs from Bendix. They refined the system and eventually turned it into what became Bosch's trademarked (and far more successful) D-Jetronic EFI system beginning in 1968.

Auxetics expand laterally when stretched, contract when compressed and dome when curved ...................

Auxetic materials have a negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) [1], meaning they expand laterally in one or more perpendicular direction/s when they are extended axially. Poisson’s ratio (ν) is the negative of the ratio of lateral to axial strain (Figure 1).
