i like to collect STUFF, just STUFF
maybe it's not collecting...
maybe it's just 'keeping'
... either way, it takes up tons of space in those little Rough Totes I bought to organize everything in!

Ray, have you seen the round, yes totally round, cylindrical, sliderule that is on display at the Antique Mall next to the Airport Convention Center on Broadway? It is a fascinating thing to see, although I think it would be hard to use because it is so large. Do you use your sliderules? Younger people collect, but often don't know how to use sliderules. My dad was a master with a sliderule but even with his tutoring, sliderules never appealed to me. Rose Lynn

Ray, there are some really famous slide-rules that used to be widely distributed here in Germany; the design of some supposedly derives from some superb mathematicians of the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt (now Technische Universität Darmstadt).
They were manufactured - among other makes - by Faber Castell in Mainz or Wiesbaden, I think. A certain quantity had been discovered after ages just one or two years ago and sold via the Manufactum catalog of fine things. Interested?

Well, if Kitchen is right - then just have some of mine, Stacey!
As editor, I get quadruple rations of letters every month, and since we only publish quarterly (more at www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/music/59.5 ), I got enough left to share!
They are unused and premiere quality, just the stuff you'd use for real good articles and the like, even some elegant stuff. Sturdy enough to last through printing, too, - you'll like them.
What letters do you need?

Instruments and (working) machines are cool!

Got some nice Super8- and slide-projectors (a Rollei w/ carousell magazine and a vintage Leitz), a magnetic tape echo/reverb machine (loop of magnet tape runs around 5 magnet heads, weird effects & sounds), right - the 16mm projector a friend gave me... No 16mm camera, though. A half dozen Super8-cameras (Rollei, 2 Bauer, Kodak,...), all but two working. Foto cameras! Mainly russian makes fron the fleamarket (all with M42 screw mount - great lenses available for little money), a Rollei 35B I have with me
early always I leave the house (sometimes I take a Lomo instead).

I even have a Wow and Flutter meter! I'll try and see, perhaps I can rig it to the Spring.

Old technology is fun. Looks curious, and does amazing things.

The Rollei 35B is the best I have - 100% mechanical, metal case, very compact - fits in the breast pocket of a jeans jacket. But the Super8-cameras... That's technology! Great mechanical feats, especially the later Bauer, which has functions to dream of...

You have a very nice collection there. Germany has consistently produced the lenses in the world and their cameras' precision is a work of art. My CW Camera and the HRO were my father's.

The HRO in its day was the best all-band receiver in the world. As such it was used throughout the world in airplanes and on the ground as well as at sea. I believe it was made in Japan by what is now known as National Panasonic (it has been a while, so I am sure to be corrected if I erred.) The interesting part of this receiver was that each band was a drawer-shaped item (each fairly heavy) which slid into a wide slot at the bottom of the chassis and plugged in when seated properly. A large knurled k
ob was used for tuning what was then considered very precisely in those days.

the sights were great!
ummm... sites, I guess...
I didn't find what I was looking for but I wandered around in there for awhile and found things I didn't know I was interested in!
Thank you!
The reason I'm interested in a map of such size and historical significance...
we just 'finished' the downstairs guest room and want to have a travel theme... the books are all travel books/language books and I want to decorate with nice maps. I like the look and texture of old maps done on rice paper... I know Pangea will probably not be easy to find in such a format but I'll keep searching.

Anyway... I enjoyed the historical maps of a bunch of different continents yesterday... thanks again!

I did an altavista search for "where can I find large wall maps?" They have a lot of selections of current stuff...I should have put in "antique" or "old" in there. I always wanted a room with an Orrery in the ceiling and huge globe in the floor and large celestial maps and antique maps for the walls...oh well, another life time, perhaps. But here are a few places you can make inquiries:

Definitely chalk me up as a map lover. I have a problem dealing with

My real love is topo maps.

Those 3-D aerials with the special glasses? Awesome indeed. When my son took that class in the pursuit of his Geology degree, I got to see some really neat stuff. I love the topo stuff, too, except when I have to do the lines...I hated that...mostly because I erased holes through the first one I did.

Hmh, I wonder if we could use a topic on Hi-Fi gear, or maybe a whole AudioPhiles Conference, like e.g. the Radio one. That's different from the Music Conf - as this guy once said to me "Now you got the software, lemme get you fixed onto the hardware, too!"



There's not a lot serious audio geeks want to talk about more than their high end amps 'n' stuff.



Comments, please.

I think it is a terrific idea. However, we need someone with the time and know-how to do create the conference for us - just as Wolf and I have been waiting since before Christmas for a Crafts conference.

Wolfie also furnished my buttons. I removed the frames (made them transparent) and installed them on Geo. Wolfie also did the SpringArk page out of whole cloth. She is really a talented lady with too little spare time!
