The Apollo Command Module's primary source of electric power was from a set of three "fuel cells" housed in the Service Module. Each fuel cell combined hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and water. The water was used for drinking by the astronaut crew. Each of the fuel cell power plants contain 31 separate cells connected in series. Each cell had a hydrogen and an oxygen compartments and electrodes and, in combination, produced 27 to 31 volts. Normal power output for each power plant is 563 to 1420 watts, with a maximum of 2300 watts (source: NASM). The image below shows an Apollo fuel cell that was used for simulation purposes. |

Long before Photoshop photos were retouched. I worked with a lady in the early 1970s that could do wonders on removing wrinkles, or birthmarks and moles of portraits. One customer had a large wedding ring on her hand, with her hands under her chin. She loved the photo, byt she divorced the first husband, and married a new man. She had that ring removed and it was astonishing in the photo. Airbrush techniques were common on Playboy centerfold pictures.

The red, white, black and green marble floor was a colossal task that took 160 years to complete. It was carried out by the grand-ducal workshops of Florence, guided by Renaissance sculptor Baccio d'Agnolo, and was completed in 1660. The primary aim of the builders was to surpass the splendour of Roman imperial floors, above all those of the Pantheon. The result forms a giant unity of mesmerizing geometric carpets, aligned within the cathedral's naves.

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1710766692.jpg Ella Williams (born 1865), also known by her stage name 'Mme Abomah', was an American performer. She was a woman of extraordinary height and strength who became an international celebrity in the late 1800s. Born in South Carolina in 1865 to parents who were former enslaved people, Williams grew to be over eight feet tall after contracting malaria when she was around 14 years old. Williams gained fame when she agreed to tour Europe as a giantess with Frank C. Bostock in 1896. Bostock promoted her as a member of the legendary Dahomey Amazons, a famous all-female fighting force. He gave her the stage name Mademoiselle Abomah, which came from Abomey, the capital of the Kingdom of Dahomey. Abomah and her manager decided to take her act to Europe because racism was less pronounced there compared to the United States, and they believed that audiences in Europe would be more accepting of a tall, strong, and beautiful Black woman. As a result, Abomah toured various parts of Europe, as well as Australia, New Zealand, South America, and Cuba over the course of her 30-year career. She was known for her expensive and extensive wardrobe, which gave her a royal and elegant appearance. Abomah went on a successful tour of Europe between 1910 and 1911, during which she performed in various locations including Liverpool, Blackpool, and at English variety halls. She also toured Australia in 1903, New Zealand between 1904 and 1908, South America in 1909, and visited Coney Island and Cuba in 1917. Additionally, Abomah performed with Reynold's Waxworks and Exhibition in 1900, 1903, and 1912–1913, and with Barnum and Bailey in 1918. In 1920, she performed at Dreamland[6] and the World's Museum, and in 1921, it was announced that she was going to sail to Paris for a three-month engagemen Abomah cancelled her tours and returned to the US when Britain declared w@r on Germany in August 1914.

UNIVAC was the first commercially available computer. A refined version of ENIAC “the first modern day computer”, it was also called “The Remington UNIVAC”. Why? Well for anyone that has watched an old western you have heard of the Remington Rifle, “the rifle that won the west”. The Remington family became very wealthy thanks to that rifle. So, they invested in an electric razor, further adding to their wealth. So, when they were asked to go in on this computer thing, they figured, what the heck. They wrote the check and a few years later the UNIVAC hit the streets. In total, forty-two were made. The nerve center of UNIVAC was the Supervisory Control” or as we would call it today, a metal desk that is strong enough that you could park a car on it with a keyboard and a three-foot-high panel with a bunch of switches, knobs, and lights on it. As with any great achievement you need to put a nameplate on it and you can’t forget to put the investors name on it. So, on the top center of that switch infested control panel, they placed a red nameplate to let everyone know that thingy-bob is called UNIVAC and that Remington family got in on it. Today, to the best of my knowledge, only two control panels with their nameplate are still in existence. One can be seen at the computer museum in Boston and the other is on display at the Smithsonian institute. With all that said I would like to show you the only UNIVAC plague that is NOT in a museum. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1710802221.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1710802221.jpg |

A first-generation vacuum tube computer built between 1950 and 1954 for the U.S. Navy by American astronomer Wallace Eckert˛ (designer of the SSECł) at IBM's Watson Scientific Computing Laboratory⁴, Columbia University, New York City. Numerical analyst and programmer Faith Lillibridge running a lunar orbital calculation. The machine went into service at the Naval Proving Ground in Dahlgren, Virginia. The 138 kW machine was powered by a 1 MHz system clock the arithmetic speed was 15,000 multiplications per second, storage was on eight 3-million word 4-track magnetic tape machines with transfer rates of 70,000 characters/sec from 510 cpi density media. The 2000 words of random access memory was supplied by a bank of 264 Williams-Kilburn electrostatic memory tubes⁵ with fast 8 µs access times. The array of tiny CRT based console readouts showed decimal display of register contents and provided floating point notation and operation. NORC was a three-address machine ("multiply A times B and store the result in C"). It was programmed directly in machine language; assemblers came later. In 1958, the CRT memory was converted to a 20,000-word 8 µs ferrite core memory. In the six months between NORC's completion and its delivery to the Navy, Professor Eckert used it to work on the problem of the position of the moon by computing the ephemerides directly from Ernest W. Brown's lunar theory⁶ equations. The task was immense involving some 1650 trigonometric terms yet the accuracy of the results was so good that after a decade of analysis on the data, in 1965 he was able to correctly show that there was a concentration of mass near the lunar surface, now known as a lunar mascon⁷. NORC was also used to compute the orbits of other celestial bodies, including the most precise orbit of the Earth for the 1920-2000 period. The machine remained in service until 1968. The Asteroid "1625 The NORC" was named after this historic machine. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1710853961.jpg NORC's arithmetic and control banks consisting of removable plug-in units containing vacuum tubes, resistors, condensers, and crystal diodes.
