This adventure began in 1951, when the Grant Piston Ring company enquired of the possibility of acquiring a couple of second-hand Grand Prix cars for use in the following year’s Indy 500. Ferrari were so excited by the idea, that they offered to design a car specially for the job. Grant’s were impressed and ordered three. The Italians were now so pleased with themselves that they decided to build and enter a fourth car in their own name. The ensuing 4.5 Litre, V/12 engined device was tested in some minor European events, and declared to be just the thing. Unfortunately though, just-the-thing on a European Grand Prix circuit proved to be not-at-all-the-thing for Indianapolis. And when qualifying began, the Ferraris were soon in trouble. All three of the Grant’s cars failed to qualify, even though they had the 1950 winner Johnnie Parsons on the driving strength, and the works entered car would just scrape in by the skin of its teeth. The driver of the factory car looks suspiciously like Chevy Chase, which may have gone someway towards explaining the lack of performance. But it was in fact, Ferrari’s legendary star-turn, Alberto Ascari. World Champion of 1952 and 1953 (the last time to date, that an Italian ever won the World Championship), and a fully paid-up member of the All-Time-Greats Club. On race day, Alberto was immediately up against it. He was the only driver in the race who found it necessary to use his gearbox in order to keep the thing on the road through the corners, and within a few laps, he, one of the finest drivers of his generation, found himself struggling to keep a grip on last place! On the bright side though, the nastiness would eventually play itself out. After forty laps, one of the rear wheels collapsed. Alberto gratefully parked the monster at the side of the track, and they all went home. Ferrari have been connected with a number of other Indy 500 projects over the years, and have always supported their intentions with a great deal of old chat. But so far, none of these schemes have ever come to fruition. And in fifty-nine years, Ferrari have never been back. Because? Well…They were rubbish. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1706050095.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1706050095.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1706050237.jpg Cleopatra's Needle at its original site in Alexandria, Egypt, before it was stolen by England and "relocated" to England, 1870s. |

Olive, NC in June of 1947. In 1926 the Mt. Olive Pickle Company was formally incorporated by local business people in Wayne County. The effort to start the company arose within the community, and the original group of 13 local shareholders invested $19,500 to establish a company to pack and sell pickles. The shareholders purchased an acre of land for $1,000, constructed a 3,600-square-foot building and hired a factory superintendent and a sales representative. The salesman, Shickrey Baddour, a Lebanese immigrant, had conceived of the idea for the factory when he saw cucumbers rotting in area fields. Within just a few weeks, the number of shareholders grew from 13 to 21. Mt. Olive Pickle Company started an employee profit sharing program in 1943, becoming one of the first companies in the country to do so. In the early days, records indicate that most of the work at the plant was done by hand. Since then, it has grown into an innovative and modern facility distributing the country’s bestselling brand of pickles. Today, the factory complex still includes that original acre and is located at the corner of Cucumber and Vine Streets in Mt. Olive. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1706067353.jpg A Great Western Railway train traveling down a flooded track at Creech Cutting, Devon, 1894. |

The gargantuan system had 220 units of 19 different types of equipment. Noted for their pioneering work in transistors, RCA nevertheless decided to build six vacuum tube computers instead, the largest vacuum tube computer of its time, occupying 1900 m² of floor space with 30,000 tubes, 70,000 diodes, and 35,000 magnetic cores, consuming 0.746 megawatts of power, 500 kW of which are strictly for cooling, and weighing 12 tonnes. With 4,096 7-bit characters of core memory, 18,000 of magnetic drum memory², and 182 fixed (non-removable) tape drives used to manage 100,000 inventory records of OTAC's world-wide stock control program of automotive parts manifests required for the Army's Military Assistance Program as well as replacement parts for military combat and transport vehicles.

If an air over hydraulic car lift gets low on oil (which is not uncommon on older lifts), the lift will start going up normally and then spurt up in the air very quickly. I used to have bad dreams that the lift shot about 90 feet up into the air and the car was teetering around up there about ready to fall. All the lifts had a safety bar that ran next to the piston and had a little safety foot that flopped out and had to be kicked back in to lower the lift. Most of them were so old they were inop. One guy in the BMW shop went home with an oil drain bucket under the back of the car. The lift failed overnight (with no safety stop) and when he came back in the morning, the nose of the car was on the ground and the tail was still 5 feet in the air resting on the oil drain. Eventually all the lifts were replaced with electric / hydraulic which were far more dependable.

On Jan. 20, 1954, the temperature dropped to 70 degrees below zero just below the pass on its south side in a former mining camp. This is the lowest temperature ever recorded in lower 48 states.
