more the white steamer march 09 2015 i quite like vintage cars i also like vintage sewingmachines so imagine my surprise when i found out that the white steamer was made by the same company that made white sewing machines how cool is that when thomas white the founder of the white sewing machine company bought a steam car back in the 1890s it inspired his son rollin white to develop a steam generator which was made up of stacked coils water was pumped into the top of the coils with steam being produced in the bottom coils closest to the fire not only did his design allow water input to be regulated it also allowed temperature control he patented the design describing it as being a quicker safer and more economical way to generate steam power even with the improvements though the engines still had to warm up enough to start producing steam that s probably why the combustion engine became more popular it was a lot quicker to get going eventually when steam power could no long

flight july 02 2013 hi all most people will be aware that man first landed on the moon in 1969 what might not be so well known is that the world s first supersonic flight was also in 1969 supersonic means faster than the speed of sound which at around 768 miles per hour is pretty quick although not as quick as 7 miles per second which is the speed apollo 11 had to travel to escape earth s gravitational field 1969 was definitely the year for speed up until 1 st october 1969 flights had been subsonic meaning that they were slower than the speed of sound concorde s first supersonic flight meant people could now travel across the globe in a fraction of the time concorde was a collaborative project between the uk and france and was heralded as a triumph in modern engineering the planes were operated by air france and british airways the name was chosen to reflect the partnership between the two countries the words concorde in french and concord in english share get link facebook x

home guard during the second world war originally called local defence volunteers the home guard was made up of men who were either too young or too old to enlist most were too old hence the nick name dad s army their job was to defend the home front against possible invasion in the early days the local defence volunteers had to wait for equipment as the regular army had priority this is where most of the more comic moments of the tv series came from the never ending enthusiasm to invent ways of hindering an invasion using whatever tools they had to hand the re runs are still popular today an
