looks like it's for train to me..... and modern day builders laying around waiting for the free payday......
Bananas are still cut and loaded by hand onto trailers out in the plantations here in NQ. They are then off loaded onto hooks that carry them through a wash down before being sorted and graded. Also all done by hand. They do mark easily. You would never see them stacked as they are shown to the left of that rail car.

so shouldent they stop using fatal rivets??:smash:
That is the most staged photo yet...
Yes, like the dude in the tie would have even gotten his hands dirty there.
defiantly not a Model T transmission. Don´t understand the defiance.
The worker leaning against the girder on the right, looks like he could slip right off.
A certain stage rigging guy like to start inspections by walking on the stage and yelling HEADS! Then count the number of hardhats that hit the floor as most people look up.
minus two.
Hard hat not secure
You looked up right at a potentially falling object
flock of birds in the sky, why do you poop in my eye....
Have you ever noticed when your dogs water bowl is sitting outside, like on the patio for example, in clear view of the sky, there is bird poop all around it but no where else on the patio? Like they are trying to hit the bowl?Quote:

A U.S. Census Bureau clerk (left) prepares punch cards using a pantograph similar to that developed by Herman Hollerith for the 1890 Census, while a second clerk (right) uses a 1930s key punch to perform the same task more quickly. The agency used punch cards to record and sort data using mechanical tabulators based on Hollerith’s designs until replacing them with computers and magnetic computer tape in the 1950s.

I started my programming career using those same punch cards. I was lucky, my dad worked in an office adjacent to the school, and they had 3 of them that were idle most of the time, versus having to stay up til all hours waiting to get to the ones in the computer center on campus. Fortran 101 class, the final project was programming Conway's game of Life. Very very slow: enter code on the cards, drop off deck at the input window, wait wait wait get your printout (good ol' 15x11 fanfold continuous printouts) at the output window, find bug, rinse and repeat.
Bruce, same deal with me...UC San Diego 1971. Burroughs 6700. We used to do the keypunch at night to alleviate the crowd, the labs were all left wide open at night back then...Our term project was Monopoly, very tedious as I remember...oh, and we were able to use the wall phones in the labs to use the UC 'tie line' phone system. dial the code for the campus, 9 for outside line and voila! talk to the GF or family...cheers

I took Fortran in college too
My year was the last to learn Fortran at my uni (1994) and it was a mix of Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 (a few assignments in each) - the following year I believe did C or Matlab for the same assignments.Quote:

Back when poll watchers weren't prevented from doing their job.
now they have pole dancers to keep the pole watchers from seeing whats really going on. I declare the election null and void!!!

The analog world is cumbersome...
That was when you could fix computers with a ball-peen hammer. (as pictured in this view)
you still can fix them that way....then order another as this world is a disposable one especialy with that stuff.

Shaft sinking at Mt Isa Mines, Queensland, Australia in the early 1970s. The grab on the right loaded the kibbles which were hoisted to surface after the shaft bottom was drilled and blasted. The shaft ended up 3,800 ft deep.
https://diqn32j8nouaz.cloudfront.net...ft_sinking.jpg
So - that's where the kibbles in dog food come from?
Who knew?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, Kibble may refer to:
Dry compound feed, especially when used as dog food or cat food.
Chalk and flint rubble, also known as kibble in East Devon, used to consolidate ground.
A large Bucket (machine part), as used to raise ore from a mine shaft, see shaft mining
A rock of crack cocaine.
Kibbled wheat, a type of coarsely milled flour.
Just FYI.. I had no idea...
This looks like a bunch of dirty little mini humans trying to swing a 5 gallon bucket!
I too thought that it was a picture of a diorama of of a mining process. The kibble buckets usdd truely look like standard 5 gal. Buckets. Thanks for sharing!
