Photos of Certain Constructed Items made by Engineers
 

saw this on another thread and thought it deserved a home of its own...

so, go for it guys - post your pics, even the ones from decades long ago

Revolving head for a multi-spindle screw machine. Basically a 5-spindle lathe.

I think if you're going to post a photo like that, you have to tell us what the hell the item is.

Did you actually build it though?

Red do you work for Hardinge?

It's obviously a mechanism for a mechanical pencil that has 5 different colored "leads".

Looks a lot to me like the bolt mechanism on a 5-barreled gatling gun.

It's clearly the revised Death Star ray assembly.

Well, at least no one is going to steal it...

what are you guys SMOKING?


that is for STARTING 4-STROKE BIG BORE DIRTY BIKES!


just plug it in to stator side,push button and VA-ROOM!


beats the HELL OUT OF KICKING THOSE BASTIDS OVER COLD!


(1) teensie problemo. once ya get it started you never let engine die on you or you strap that on yer bars and lug it around for when ya wanna stop for a beer or take a pee. and ya got to restart the damn thangs.


also used on BMW's paris to dakar bikes. they never turn them off without that with them. just ask rick lee when the magic button doesnt work.

Nice, never seen one that clean. :D I used to run a few of these bad boys:

Hatchet mop w/integrated transistor reciever - circa 1950

Davenport. Hardinge is just down the road a bit.

I understand the need to have a mop integrated into an axe but why the radio?

Police scanner which you probably want if you need a mop after using an ax or hatchet

You do? I have used both a mop & an axe but I have never even once thought "gee this mop need an axe” or wile swinging an axe “man I need a mop”

The radio I can understand. I don’t think it would last long with the axe cutting fire wood.

You need to watch more horror movies. A mop makes perfect sense. :D

To provide music to aid in establishing efficient chopping/mopping rhythms.

Earlier models had metronomes which tended to fail at the first blow.

Later atempts using vacuum tube radios always failed on the first blow.

It wasn't until the advent of the relatively shock resistant transistor that the long sought after dream of musically enhanced chopping/mopping efficiency was finally realized.

You understand the need for a mop?

Edit: Oh, yeah (just read a few posts that cleared that up for me).
