Originally called CSIR Mk 1, this huge computer was among the first five in the world and ran its first test program in 1949. Renamed CSIRAC, it was officially commissioned in 1951. It embodied many features novel at the time and was able to operate more than 1000 times faster than the best mechanical calculators. It was constructed by the Division of Radiophysics to the designs of Trevor Pearcey and Maston Beard. Photo dated 1952.

I'm thinking Bryan will like this.

Thanks, but I believe you are thinking of Byron.

I think Byron prefers wearing flip flops.

I was going thru some old boxes and found a photo of Flatbutt-ette from long ago.

Nuclear physicist Emilio Segrè¹ at the controls of the Lawrence 37-inch cyclotron² in Berkeley, California, the world's first major particle accelerator, June 12, 1941. Originally a 27-inch cyclotron, it was converted to a 37-inch instrument in 1936 that could accelerate deuterons³ to 8 MeV and alpha particles⁴ to 16 MeV. Weighing 77 tonnes, it was a major breakthrough of science in its time and lead the world in atomic particle energies from 1932 until 1939, opening new frontiers in nuclear research. Discoveries with this cyclotron were numerous, including radioisotopes⁵, such as iodine-131, as well as the first man-made element, technetium-99⁶ discovered by Segrè in the machine. Modified, the magnet first showed in 1941-42 that uranium-235⁷ could be separated magnetically on a large scale.


The Lawrence 37-inch cyclotron was a type of particle accelerator invented by Ernest O. Lawrence in 1932 in which charged particles accelerate outwards from the center along a spiral path. The particles are held to a spiral trajectory by a static magnetic field and accelerated by a rapidly varying (radio frequency) electric field. Lawrence was awarded the 1939 Nobel prize in physics for this invention. Cyclotrons were the most powerful particle accelerator technology until the 1950s when they were superseded by the synchrotron, and are still used to produce particle beams in physics and nuclear medicine.

And now we used a superconducting linac (linear accelerator) to accelerate negatively-charged hydrogen ions to 1.3 GeV, strip the electrons off and fire the resulting 10e14 protons at liquid mercury at 60 Hz... We affectionately call it the neutron factory...

Harihar fort :Harshagad is a fort located 40 km from Nashik City, 48 km from Igatpuri, 40 km from Ghoti in Nashik district, of Maharashtra in India. Harihar fort was built during the Seuna (Yadava) dynasty period. It was surrendered to Khan Zamam in 1636 along with Trymbak and other Pune forts. The fort appears to be rectangular in shape from its base village. It is built on a triangular prism of rock. Its three faces and two edges are absolutely vertical (90 degrees).The third edge towards the west is inclined at an angle of 75 degrees. A one meter wide rocky staircase with niches in it is carved out for ascending & descending the fort.
There are 117 steps in all. After you climb the first rocky staircase (main entrance) we walk thru below a overhang with a sheer drop. Again one has to climb a set of steep stairs (with niches), then pass thru a staircase inside the rock and then reach the top of the fort.

Actually for riding, I use to prefer Van's
