73s & Enjoy! N4IVE - David Gale

REM :

Ho, what a grand old film!

It's a great period piece not just for the technology but for the flavour of the times, too.

The girls knew that it would be filming day.

In the later, cleaner, operations, they have worn their finest and have their hair, make-up and finger nail polish all just right down to flowers in their hair!

Even the girl handling that warmed, concentrated chromic acid has worn the smartest, most dainty and feminine apron; it's right out of a magazine!

(For those readers who have not "done" chemistry, chromic acid is seriously bad stuff.

She should have at the least a full face mask and head to toe rubber apron but, tsk, a girl simply can't look dowdy on this day!)

Many thanks, Dave.

What is It????

Hi All,

The "wirechief" just got a request to identify a "telegraph" item.

I've never seen anything like it before.

It appears to be some kind of adjustable inductive load but whether for telegraph purposes or some other early electrical purpose, I do not know.

I've attached the photo the requestor sent me.

Any ideas...

73, Chris Hausler

REM :

That is an early resistance decade.

Used for determining resistance of a wire out to a ground or cross fault as one arm of a bridge with a galvanometer.

Hi Ed,

Thanks!!! I passed on the information.

I also got the following link to info on Wheatstone Bridges.

The first photo looks familiar.

Game Boy ... Telegraph fed.

Washington, D.C., 1924.

"The latest in electric baseball scoreboards.

George Coleman, inventor, is shown with the mechanism of the new scoreboard."

Harris & Ewing Collection glass negative.

A backstage view of Washington, D.C., inventor George Coleman's "Lifelike Baseball Scoreboard" (seen earlier here and here), which was set up in movie theaters to "broadcast" the home team's away games.

"It contains 19,000 feet of wire and has 400 stereopticon slides with an electric light bulb for each slide.

Five men are required to operate the great board, including the telegraph operator who receives play-by-play from the field."
