Engine and crusher at Good Hope mine site out from Talbotvile.Contrary to the parks sign which states a easy 20 min walk,it`s a character building walk up to mine.Not recommended for those with heart complaints.

Cheers Hall

Some photos I took today.....

I found some.

Taken today, your yesterday. A mixture of Russian and Italian...what happens when you've been an ex Italian colony and then come under Russian influence post-colonialism.

These are all up on the northern apron of the airport; that'd be Mogadishu's.

























Then, on the way home, this looms up:

Sorry, not so many Landies but, I am looking.

Some interesting water wheels etc I snapped recently in europe. The water power was used to make tools and equipment by the two "cottage factories" in the pics.




Some parts were still in use - note the recent repairs - even cable ties!

An old Hadfields mobile screening plant, located at Onslow WA.

Hadfields mobile crushing & screening plants were made in WA, with the crushers / screens themselves manufactured under licence from mainly overseas suppliers - in this case a Nordberg.

This old screen is unusual in that it ran on a combination of coil and leaf springs, and is the oldest example that I have ever seen of a screen with an isolation frame (the bottom green frame - usually the screening unit is mounted directly to the support structure on spring or rubber suspension).

Muncie Products Division of General Motors, Muncie, Indiana.

General motors Research Corporation developed the broad principle of syncromesh gearshift and Cadillac Division put it into production in 1928. Muncie did further development for large-volume production and by 1932 syncromesh was on all GM passenger cars.

The legendary Muncie M22 four speed (MC7 at GM-H) is in production again by an after-market manufacturer in standard and close ratio versions and in road and road race specificaton.
