Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ECEE46 - A hand holds a newly dispensed King Charles III Bank of England £10 note in front of a UK ATM cash machine, showing the new monarch's portrait entering everyday public use through ordinary cash withdrawals. The close-up view of the polymer ten pound note, cash slot and keypad makes this a strong editorial image for stories about British money, personal finance, banking, access to cash, ATM services, the cash economy and the historic currency change following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Banknotes featuring King Charles III were first issued on 5 June 2024, appearing on the existing £5, £10, £20 and £50 designs with no other design changes. The Bank of England has said Queen Elizabeth II notes remain legal tender and co-circulate with the new King Charles III notes, meaning both portraits can be used together during the gradual transition. This image is commercially useful for illustrating the first appearance of new UK banknotes in daily life, cash withdrawals, banknote security, polymer money, consumer spending, household budgets, retail payments, digital banking debates and financial inclusion. The photograph also works for articles on the continuing need for cash among older people, vulnerable households, small traders, rural communities and people who prefer physical money for budgeting. The ATM keypad, cancel and enter buttons, and the hand gripping the note add practical detail, making the image more grounded than a studio banknote shot. It can support features on the future of cash, bank branch closures, free-to-use cash machines, contactless payments, inflation, the cost of living, economic confidence and the symbolic role of monarchs on British currency. As a documentary stock image, it captures a small but recognisable moment in UK financial history, when King Charles III banknotes moved from official release into the ordinary routine of taking money out of a cashpoint.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3C4CXN4 - A gigantic mechanical bull rages over unsuspecting passengers at Birmingham's central station. In 2022, Birmingham hosted the quadrennial Commonwealth Games, introducing a massive mechanical bull during the opening ceremony. Standing 33 feet tall and weighing 2.5 tonnes, the gargantuan creature amazed many viewers before seemingly fading into oblivion.
That is, until he made a triumphant return to Birmingham in July 2023. Though the bull was to be dismantled after the games, people on social media campaigned for its preservation, helping it find a new permanent home in the city.
The raging bull was officially given the name of Ozzy, after none other than the former lead singer of Black Sabbath, who grew up in Birmingham. Unveiled by Ozzy Osbourne's wife Sharon and sister Jean, Ozzy the Bull stands towering above passengers at Birmingham New Street Station, a new beloved icon of the city.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RX17PT - A car wash, or auto wash is a facility used to clean the exterior, and in some cases the interior, of cars. Car washes can be self-service, full-service (with attendants who wash the vehicle), or fully automated (possibly connected to a filling station). Car washes may also be events where people pay to have their cars washed by volunteers, often using less specialized equipment, as a fundraiser
By the mid-1960s, Hanna Enterprises established itself as the main manufacturer of car washing equipment and materials. This includes the Wrap-Around Brush, Roller-on-demand Conveyor belt, soft cloth friction washing, several ways to wash the tires, and a recirculating water system.
The 1970s introduced the automatic wheel cleaner and the polish'n'wax
Conveyor-driven/tunnel car wash
The first conveyor-driven automatic car wash appeared in Hollywood, California in 1940. Conveyor-driven automatic car washes consist of tunnel-like buildings into which customers (or attendants) drive
A vehicle exiting the friction zone of the wash. Visible are side brushes, wrap-around brushes, the conveyor, and a high-pressure rinse arch.
The car wash will typically start cleaning with chemicals called presoaks applied through special arches. CTAs, or chemical tire applicators, apply specialized formulations, which remove brake dust and build-up from the surface of the wheels and tires.
At the end of a car wash's presoak a high-pressure arch may be used to direct water at the vehicle's surface.
The car is rinsed with fresh water immediately followed by a series of extra services if required. In many car washes, the first of these services is a polish wax. After the polish wax application is typically a retractable mitter or top brush and, in some cases, side brushes or wrap-around brushes. Next is a protectant, which creates a thin protective film over a vehicle's surface

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP33E - The Spacer mural by contemporary artist Shane Sutton dominates the side wall of a building in Coleraine town centre, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The large monochrome artwork depicts an astronaut in a space suit reaching outward from a circular halo, creating a striking illusion of movement and human connection against the dark background.
In the foreground, two pedestrians walk past the mural at street level, their presence and proximity emphasising the scale of the artwork and the way it integrates into everyday urban life. The positioning of the astronaut's outstretched arm creates a visual interaction with passers-by, reinforcing the mural's theme of connection, exploration, and curiosity within a public setting.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents how contemporary street art has become part of Coleraine's townscape, contributing to urban regeneration and cultural identity. The scene captures the relationship between public art and ordinary street activity, showing how large-scale murals can engage pedestrians and transform otherwise utilitarian building facades into landmarks of local creativity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RBXAR0 - A tamping machine or ballast tamper, informally simply a tamper, is a self-propelled, rail-mounted machine used to pack (or tamp) the track ballast under railway tracks to make the tracks and roadbed more durable and level. Prior to the introduction of mechanical tampers, this task was done by manual labour with the help of beaters. As well as being faster, more accurate, more efficient and less labour-intensive, tamping machines are essential for the use of concrete sleepers since they are too heavy (usually over 250 kg or 550 lb) to be lifted by hand.
At its most basic, a tamping machine only packs the ballast. Some modern machines, sometimes known as tamper-liners or tamping and lining machines, also correct the alignment of the rails to make them parallel and level, in order to achieve a more comfortable ride for passengers and freight and to reduce the mechanical strain applied to the rails by passing trains. This is done by finding places where the sleepers have sunk from the weight of the passing trains or frost action, causing the track to sag. The tamper lifts each sleeper and the rails up, and packs ballast underneath. When the sleeper is laid down again, the sagged rails now sit at the proper level. Combining tamping and lining into a single machine saves time and money, as only one machine needs to be run over the track to perform both functions.
Tampers frequently work in concert with ballast regulators, as part of a section crew.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R8T9GK - The Amstrad CPC (short for Colour Personal Computer) is a series of 8-bit home computers produced by Amstrad between 1984 and 1990. It was designed to compete in the mid-1980s home computer market dominated by the Commodore 64 and the ZX Spectrum, where it successfully established itself primarily in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and the German-speaking parts of Europe.
The series spawned a total of six distinct models: The CPC464, CPC664, and CPC6128 were highly successful competitors in the European home computer market. The later 464plus and 6128plus, intended to prolong the system's lifecycle with hardware updates, were considerably less successful, as was the attempt to repackage the plus hardware into a game console as the GX4000.
The CPC models' hardware is based on the Zilog Z80A CPU, complemented with either 64 or 128 KB of RAM. Their computer-in-a-keyboard design prominently features an integrated storage device, either a compact cassette deck or 3-inch floppy disk drive. The main units were only sold bundled with either a colour, green-screen or monochrome monitor that doubles as the main unit's power supply. Additionally, a wide range of first and third-party hardware extensions such as external disk drives, printers, and memory extensions, was available.
The CPC series was pitched against other home computers primarily used to play video games and enjoyed a strong supply of game software. The comparatively low price for a complete computer system with dedicated monitor, its high-resolution monochrome text and graphic capabilities and the possibility to run CP/M software also rendered the system attractive for business users, which was reflected by a wide selection of application software.
During its lifetime, the CPC series sold approximately three million units

Ring spinning frames were used to twist and wind cotton fibres into finished yarn in a continuous process, replacing earlier spinning mule systems in many mills during the twentieth century.
Prepared roving from earlier processes such as carding and drawing was fed into the frame, where drafting rollers reduced the fibre thickness before twist was inserted by the rotating spindle and traveller running around a fixed ring. The finished yarn was then wound onto bobbins, ready for use in weaving sheds or for further processing.
Ring spinning offered higher speeds, greater consistency and reduced labour compared with mule spinning, making it especially suited to fine and strong yarns. Lancashire mills adopted ring frames widely as the industry modernised, particularly in large spinning towns such as Oldham and Bolton.
Preserved ring spinning frames are now commonly found in textile museums and heritage mills, illustrating the scale, precision and repetitive nature of industrial cotton production and the working environments that underpinned Britain's global dominance in textiles.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JB5 - drawing frames (sometimes called draw frames) with sliver cans, as used in Lancashire cotton spinning mills in the late-19th and early-20th century.
What you're seeing
The thick, soft cotton strands looping down into the containers are sliver.
The tall cylindrical containers are sliver cans, used to store and transport the fibre between processes.
Above the cans is the drawing frame, with a line of drafting rollers that pull multiple slivers together and stretch them to improve uniformity.
What the drawing frame did
The drawing frame sat between carding and spinning and had three main jobs:
Combine several carded slivers into one
Draft (stretch) the fibres to make them finer
Straighten and equalise fibre alignment
The output was a smoother, more even sliver ready for:
further drawing stages, or
the roving (speed) frame, and then spinning
How to tell it's not a roving frame
This is a common point of confusion:
Drawing frame: sliver goes into cans (as shown here)
Roving (speed) frame: fibres are twisted and wound onto bobbin spindles, not cans
Because there is no twist and the material is collected loosely in cans, this is clearly a drawing frame.
Why this is classic Lancashire
Drawing frames were standard in mills across Oldham, Bolton, Blackburn, Burnley and Preston
Lancashire mills often used multiple drawing passages to achieve consistency at scale
Uniform sliver was essential for high-speed spinning on mules or ring frames
In short
This image shows cotton drawing frames feeding sliver into cans, a crucial intermediate stage in Lancashire's spinning process, responsible for fibre consistency, quality and productivity. This image shows a row of cotton drawing frames with sliver cans inside a Lancashire spinning mill, illustrating a key intermediate stage in the cotton manufacturing process. Drawing frames were used after carding to improve the uniformity, alignment and consistency of cotton fibres before they were spun into yarn.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JBA - The large cylindrical beam wrapped with white yarn at the front is the warp beam, supplying thousands of parallel warp threads.
The machines are arranged in long, tightly packed rows, typical of weaving sheds rather than spinning rooms.
Overhead line-shafting and belt drives powered each loom individually.
The overall layout is wide, open and repetitive, designed for one weaver to supervise multiple looms.
This immediately distinguishes it from:
Spinning mules (which have moving carriages)
Ring frames (vertical spindles, no warp beam)
Carding or drawing machines (shorter, bulkier units)
What the loom did
A Lancashire power loom:
Took warp yarn from the beam
Inserted weft yarn across it (by shuttle in older looms)
Interlaced warp and weft to produce woven cloth
Wound the finished fabric onto a cloth roller
This was the final major stage of cotton manufacture, after carding, drawing and spinning.
Why this is classic Lancashire
Power looms dominated towns such as Burnley, Blackburn, Accrington, Chorley and Preston
Lancashire specialised in mass cotton weaving, often more than spinning
Sheds were built with:
North-light roofs for even daylight
Open floors to manage noise, heat and lint
A single weaver, often a woman, might operate four or more looms simultaneously
In short
This image shows Lancashire cotton power looms in a weaving shed, producing woven cloth from spun yarn.
It represents the end stage of the cotton process and one of the most recognisable interiors of Britain's industrial textile past. This image shows a row of historic cotton power looms inside a Lancashire weaving shed, a setting that became synonymous with mass textile production during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Power looms were used to weave spun cotton yarn into finished cloth by interlacing warp threads, drawn from the large beams visible in the foreground, with weft yarn carried across the loom.
The looms are arranged in long, uniform rows

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JCP - This photograph shows an Underwood Standard manual typewriter, a landmark design in the history of writing and office technology. Finished in black metal with exposed mechanical components, the machine features a full QWERTY keyboard, circular glass-topped keys, ribbon spools, and a paper roller platen, all characteristic of early twentieth-century typewriter engineering.
The Underwood Standard series, produced from the late nineteenth century onwards, was among the first typewriters to achieve widespread commercial success. Its open-frame design allowed typists to see the text as it was being typed, a significant innovation at the time that helped establish Underwood as a dominant name in offices, newsrooms, and government departments around the world.
The image highlights the tactile, mechanical nature of analogue writing technology, with visible levers, springs, and typebars arranged in a semi-circular basket beneath the carriage. The worn surfaces and patina suggest long-term use, reinforcing the sense of durability and craftsmanship associated with these machines.
Typewriters such as this played a central role in the development of modern administration, journalism, and literature, shaping how documents were produced long before the arrival of computers and word processors. Images like this are commonly used to illustrate themes of writing history, vintage office culture, industrial design, mechanical craftsmanship, and the evolution of communication technology.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PPB7 - The Wigan Casino was a nightclub in Wigan, England. Operating between 1973 and 1981, it became known as a primary venue for Northern soul music. It carried forward the legacy created by clubs such as the Twisted Wheel in Manchester, the Chateau Impney (Droitwich), the Catacombs (Wolverhampton) and the Golden Torch (Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent). It remains one of the most famous clubs in Northern England. In 1978, allegedly the American music magazine Billboard voted Wigan Casino The Best Disco in the World, ahead of New York City's Studio 54. Although there is no tangible evidence of this award ever being publicised.
This England, a TV documentary about the Wigan Casino, was filmed in 1977. Russ Winstanley and Dave Nowell wrote a history of the club, Soul Survivors, The Wigan Casino Story, which was published in 1996.
Wigan Casino was the name of the last incarnation of a Wigan ballroom called the Empress. Local DJs Brian Rigby and Alan Cain approached lease owner Gerry Marshall to run all-nighters. Venue manager Mike Walker brought in Russ Winstanley, who had a DJ set at the local rugby club, to the Casino. At 2 am on Sunday 23 September 1973, Wigan Casino started its first-ever Northern soul all-nighter, with Winstanley as the DJ. After Winstanley and his helper Ian Fishwick, Kev Roberts was the third DJ at Casino all-nighters, who was quickly joined by Richard Searling Soul performers that performed there include Jackie Wilson, Edwin Starr and Junior Walker.
Young people from all over the UK regularly attended Wigan Casino to hear the latest northern soul artists and to dance. There were long queues to get in. The second dance floor, Mr M's, stayed open until 6 am and played oldies songs from a variety of DJs including Dave Evison and Steve Whittle. All-nighters generally ended with three songs that became known as the '3 before 8': Time Will Pass You By by Tobi Legend, Long After Tonight Is All Over by Jimmy Radcliffe, and I'm on My Way by Dean Parrish.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PHJ91P - Amount withdrawn from cash machines fell EVEN further last year and expert says usage will never return to pre-pandemic levels
Number of cash withdrawals fell 6% last year after 40% collapse in 2020
The average Briton withdrew a third less cash last year than they did in 2019
One expert says number of withdrawals won't return to pre-covid levels
People continued to use less cash last year with new figures showing the number of withdrawals from ATMs fell 6 per cent annually.
A total of £79billion was withdrawn from cash machines in 2021 compared to £81billion in 2020, according to data by Link, the UK's main cash machine network.
There was also a 7 per cent decline in cash machine transactions last year, which includes withdrawals and balance enquiries, falling from just over 1.6billion to 1.5billion.
This means the average withdrawal per person in the UK was £1,462 last year, visiting an ATM around 18 times.
In 2019, prior to the pandemic, the average withdrawal per person in the UK was £2,193 meaning the typical person is withdrawing two thirds of what they were before Covid-19, when the advice was to not use cash but contactless debit and credit card payments instead

The UK's main cash machine network LINK has published data showing that despite a 37% fall in ATM transactions in 2020, UK adults on average still withdrew more than £1,500 each from cash machines.
Scotland saw the steepest fall, with adults withdrawing almost £900 less than they did in 2019.
On average, UK adults visited ATMs 12 times less in 2020 than they did in 2019.
In recent years, as consumers use alternative payment methods such as contactless cards or online payments, ATM transactions have fallen on average around 10% year-on-year.
However, in April 2020, when the UK went into the first national lockdown, ATM transactions fell initially by up to 68%.
Despite subsequent lockdowns, on average more than £1.6bn was still withdrawn for cash machines every week for the rest of 2020.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PHJ91W - Scots 'battle' to get cash after banks and ATMs shut
Scots are facing an uphill battle to access their cash after a large number of bank and cash machine closures, a consumer organisation has warned.
Research by Which? found 339 Scottish bank branches had closed their doors since 2015, while 290 ATMs had been withdrawn in the past year.
It urged the UK government to appoint a regulator to protect access to cash.
HM Treasury said it recognised the continued importance of cash, especially for more vulnerable people.
It added the existing payment systems regulator was closely monitoring developments within ATM provision.
Which? said the closure of cash machines, the majority of which were free to use, had hit Scotland harder than other parts of the UK because of its many rural communities, combined with an already devastated bank branch network.
In Scotland, withdrawals from machines were down just 3.3% in 2017-18, compared with larger drops of 8.5% and 7.7% in London and the south east of England respectively.

Gambling Commission calls for pub industry to take faster action to prevent under 18s accessing gaming machines in pubs
18 October 2019
A review of pubs in England and Wales has shown that 84% of them are failing to prevent under 18-year-olds from playing Category C gaming machines, also known as fruit machines.
Local authorities have primary responsibility for regulating these machines and businesses are responsible for ensuring that they are compliant in checking age verification. Over the last 12 months the Gambling Commission has worked with local authorities and local police to test compliance with laws in place to protect children from the risks gambling can pose.
Children are not permitted to play Category C gaming machines in pubs. Staff are expected to stop children playing on the machines and there should be clear signage indicating the age restriction.
This follows a test sample taken in 2018 which found that 88% of pubs in England failed to prevent children accessing 18+ gaming machines.
The findings suggest that the rules in place around these machines are still not being appropriately enforced and many employees are still unaware of the restrictions.
Programme Director, Helen Rhodes said: The pub industry must accelerate action to enforce these rules. Pubs must take age verification on machines as seriously as they do for alcohol sales, and they risk losing their entitlement to offer machines if they do not.
Adding: 'The results last year were extremely disappointing and we have supported local authorities in their action to raise standards. This includes working with the providers of training to the pub industry to emphasise the legal requirements in training materials, as well as with the Home Office to work towards including materials on gambling in pubs in the curriculum for the personal licence holder

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PGDC3H - Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS (23 June 1912 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist. Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. He is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.
Born in Maida Vale, London, Turing was raised in southern England. He graduated at King's College, Cambridge, with a degree in mathematics. Whilst he was a fellow at Cambridge, he published a proof demonstrating that some purely mathematical yesno questions can never be answered by computation and defined a Turing machine
During the Second World War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre that produced Ultra intelligence. For a time he led Hut 8, the section that was responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. Here, he devised a number of techniques for speeding the breaking of German ciphers, including improvements to the pre-war Polish bomba method, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine. Turing played a crucial role in cracking intercepted coded messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Axis powers in many crucial engagements, including the Battle of the Atlantic
Turing was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts. He accepted hormone treatment with DES, a procedure commonly referred to as chemical castration, as an alternative to prison. Turing died on 7 June 1954, 16 days before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined his death as a suicide, but it has been noted that the known evidence is also consistent with accidental poisoning. Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government

1858 Patent E W Blake Crushing Stone US20542
My stone breaker, so far as respects its principle, or its essential characteristics, consists of a pair of jaws, one fixed and the other movable, between which the stones are to be broken, having their acting faces nearly in an upright position, and convergent downward one toward the other in such manner that while the space between them at the top is such as to receive the stones that are to be broken, that at the bottom is only sufficient to allow the fragments to pass when broken to the required size
and giving to the movable jaw a short and powerful vibration through a small space, say one fourth of an inch, more or less. By means of this form and arrangement of the jaws, and this motion of the movable jaw, when a stone is dropped into the space between them, it falls down until its further descent is arrested between their convergent faces
the movable jaw, advancing, crushes it, then receding, liberates the fragments and they again descend, and if too large, are again crushed, and so on until all the fragments, having been sufficiently reduced, have passed out through the narrower space at the bottom.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P4JY30 - Novomatic is an international gambling company based in Austria, founded by Johann Graf in 1980
Novomatic operates about 2,000 casinos and other gaming facilities in about 50 countries, many of them under the Admiral Casino brand. It also offers online gambling, and produces slot machines and other technology for the gaming industry. As of 2021, it has about 21,000 employees and annual revenue of €1.8 billion
Johann Graf initially partnered with Gerhard Brodnik in the 1970s to start Brodnik & Graf, a company that was importing pinball machines from Belgium. In 1980, Brodnik decided to quit, and Graf oriented towards producing gambling machines under the Admiral brand. A number of Admiral branded casinos were opened. Novomatic expanded globally during the decade and vastly improved the technology. It was among the first gambling equipment manufacturers to use touch screen technology.
In 2010, Novomatic expanded into online gambling business by acquiring controlling stake in London based Greentube studio. Greentube, in addition to their original content, is the main online publisher of already established Novomatic slot games. Greentube then purchased Canadian based Bluebat Games studio in 2015 to further expand its online presence.
Instant win and digital scratchcard provider, Gamevy, formed a partnership with Novomatic subsidiary, Novomatic Lottery Solutions (NLS), in November 2016. The tie-up presents NLS with an opportunity to focus on the broader lottery demographic.
This segment accounts for 56% of the company's revenues as of 2021, with the bulk of the business coming from Austria, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Eastern Europe.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KDPYAN - A printed circuit board (PCB
also printed wiring board or PWB) is a medium used in electrical and electronic engineering to connect electronic components to one another in a controlled manner. It takes the form of a laminated sandwich structure of conductive and insulating layers: each of the conductive layers is designed with an artwork pattern of traces, planes and other features (similar to wires on a flat surface) etched from one or more sheet layers of copper laminated onto and/or between sheet layers of a non-conductive substrate. Electrical components may be fixed to conductive pads on the outer layers in the shape designed to accept the component's terminals, generally by means of soldering, to both electrically connect and mechanically fasten them to it. Another manufacturing process adds vias: plated-through holes that allow interconnections between layers
The Austrian engineer Paul Eisler invented the printed circuit as part of a radio set while working in the UK around 1936. In 1941 a multi-layer printed circuit was used in German magnetic influence naval mines
Around 1943 the USA began to use the technology on a large scale to make proximity fuzes for use in World War II. Such fuzes required an electronic circuit that could withstand being fired from a gun, and could be produced in quantity
Motorola was an early leader in bringing the process into consumer electronics, announcing in August 1952 the adoption of plated circuits in home radios after six years of research and a $1M investment
Originally, every electronic component had wire leads, and a PCB had holes drilled for each wire of each component. The component leads were then inserted through the holes and soldered to the copper PCB traces. This method of assembly is called through-hole construction. In 1949, Moe Abramson and Stanislaus F. Danko of the United States Army Signal Corps developed the Auto-Sembly process in which component leads were inserted into a copper foil interconnection

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3082P - Crossley Brothers was set up in 1867 by brothers Francis (183997) and William J.(18441911). Francis, with help from his uncle, bought the engineering business of John M Dunlop at Great Marlborough Street in Manchester city centre, including manufacturing pumps, presses, and small steam engines.
In 1869 they had the foresight to acquire the UK and world (except German) rights to the patents of Otto and Langden of Cologne for the new gas fueled atmospheric internal combustion engine and in 1876 these rights were extended to the famous Otto four-stroke cycle engine. The changeover to four stroke engines was remarkably rapid with the last atmospheric engines being made in 1877.
The business flourished. In 1881, Crossley Brothers became a private limited company (i.e. Crossley Brothers Ltd.), and then in 1882 it moved to larger premises in Pottery Lane, Openshaw, in eastern Manchester.
Crossley Brothers built diesel engines for stationary, marine and locomotive use. There was a wide range of engines from six to 3200 horsepower (Crossley) and up to 9000 horsepower (Crossley-Pielstick).
Their marine engines had a reputation for durability and reliability.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JM9P39 - A slot machine (American English), fruit machine (British English) or poker machine (Australian English and New Zealand English) is a gambling machine that creates a game of chance for its customers. Slot machines are also known pejoratively as one-armed bandits because of the large mechanical levers affixed to the sides of early mechanical machines and the games' ability to empty players' pockets and wallets as thieves would.[1]
A slot machine's standard layout features a screen displaying three or more reels that spin when the game is activated. Some modern slot machines still include a lever as a skeuomorphic design trait to trigger play. However, the mechanics of early machines have been superseded by random number generators, and most are now operated using buttons and touchscreens.
Slot machines include one or more currency detectors that validate the form of payment, whether coin, cash, voucher, or token. The machine pays out according to the pattern of symbols displayed when the reels stop spinning. Slot machines are the most popular gambling method in casinos and constitute about 70% of the average U.S. casino's income.[2]
Digital technology has resulted in variations in the original slot machine concept. As the player is essentially playing a video game, manufacturers can offer more interactive elements, such as advanced bonus rounds and more varied video graphics.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RPGEEM - Johannes Gutenberg's work on the printing press began in approximately 1436 when he partnered with Andreas Dritzehna man who had previously instructed in gem-cuttingand Andreas Heilmann, owner of a paper mill. However, it was not until a 1439 lawsuit against Gutenberg that an official record existed
witnesses' testimony discussed Gutenberg's types, an inventory of metals (including lead), and his type molds.
Having previously worked as a professional goldsmith, Gutenberg made skillful use of the knowledge of metals he had learned as a craftsman. He was the first to make type from an alloy of lead, tin, and antimony, which was critical for producing durable type that produced high-quality printed books and proved to be much better suited for printing than all other known materials. To create these lead types, Gutenberg used what is considered one of his most ingenious inventions, a special matrix enabling the quick and precise molding of new type blocks from a uniform template. His type case is estimated to have contained around 290 separate letter boxes, most of which were required for special characters, ligatures, punctuation marks, and so forth.
Gutenberg is also credited with the introduction of an oil-based ink which was more durable than the previously used water-based inks. As printing material he used both paper and vellum (high-quality parchment). In the Gutenberg Bible, Gutenberg made a trial of coloured printing for a few of the page headings, present only in some copies. A later work, the Mainz Psalter of 1453, presumably designed by Gutenberg but published under the imprint of his successors Johann Fust and Peter Schöffer, had elaborate red and blue printed initials.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFFF8X - The Bamford Root Cutter, a belt driven machine for cutter root vegetables and sugar beat for livestock feed. Joseph Bamford was born into a recusant Catholic family in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, which owned Bamfords Ltd, an agricultural engineering business.
His great grandfather Henry Bamford was born in Yoxall, and had built up his own ironmongers business, which by 1881 employed 50 men, 10 boys and 3 women. Bamfords International Farm Machinery became one of the country's major agricultural equipment suppliers, famous for its balers, rakes, hay turners, hay Wufflers, Mangold cutters, and standing engines, which were exported all over the world. The company eventually ceased trading in 1986.
After attending Stonyhurst College, he joined the Alfred Herbert company in Coventry, then the UK's largest machine-tool manufacturer, and rose to represent the firm in Ghana. He returned home in 1938 to join the family firm, but in 1941 was called up by the RAF to serve in World War II. Working in supply and logistics, he returned to the African Gold Coast, to run a staging post for USAF planes being ferried to the Middle East.
JCB
On return home in 1944, Bamford initially worked for English Electric developing electric welding equipment in Stafford. A short return stint with the family firm proved too stifling, and his Uncle Henry released him, saying he thought Joe had little future ahead of him. After selling Brylcreem for a short while, in October 1945 Bamford rented a 10 ft (3 m) by 15 ft lock-up garage for 30 shillings (= £1.50) a week, and made a farm trailer from scrap steel and war surplus Jeep axles, using a prototype electric welder bought for £2-10s (= £2.50). He opened for business on the day his first son, Anthony, was born, and sold the trailer for £45 and a cart, which he also repaired and sold for another £45.

Car parking spaces and residents' permits will increase by up to 45 per cent and new Sunday charges have been proposed to increase revenue from shoppers.
This follows the increase to council house that comes into place next month, which is expected to cost £100 per household.
The war on motorists has got to stop, said Tory MP Robert Halfon.
Whether it is hospital parking charges, or council parking fees, motorists are seen as a cash cow and are being hit by one stealth tax after another.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTA6N - Dick, Kerr and Company was a locomotive and tramcar manufacturer based in Kilmarnock, Scotland and Preston, England.
W.B. Dick and Company was founded in 1854 in Glasgow by William Bruce Dick. The company were initially oil refiners and manufacturers of paint used for coating the bottom of ships. They had depots and works in Glasgow, Liverpool, Newcastle, Barrow-in-Furness, Cardiff and Hamburg by 1890. From 1883 the company joined with John Kerr and under its new name, expanded into tramway equipment and rolling stock and built around fifty locomotives up to 1919.
In 1890 it took limited company status, as railway and tramway appliance makers and as iron and steel founders and electricians. There was a public offer of shares to acquire the engineering and contracting company of the same name - reasons given were the advancing years of the senior partner and the need for investment to expand the works at Kilmarnock including a modern iron and steel foundry.
Until the late 1890s the company had largely produced steam tram engines, but soon afterwards it became one of the largest manufacturers of electric tramway cars.
The company facilities in Preston, Lancashire, were acquired in 1893 along with the railway and tramway plant activities of Hartley, Arnoux and Fanning who had been bought out by Kerr Stuart and Company.
In 1917 they acquired the United Electric Car Company of Preston.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EBFWFN - Richmond is an affluent suburban town in southwest London, 8.2 miles (13.2 km) west-southwest of Charing Cross. The town is on a meander of the River Thames, with a large number of parks and open spaces, including Richmond Park, and many protected conservation areas, which include much of Richmond Hill. A specific Act of Parliament protects the scenic view of the River Thames from Richmond.
Richmond was founded following Henry VII's building of Richmond Palace in the 16th century, from which the town derives its name (the Palace itself was named for Henry's earldom of Richmond, North Yorkshire.) During this era the town and palace were particularly associated with Elizabeth I, who spent her last days here. During the 18th century Richmond Bridge was completed and many Georgian terraces were built, particularly around Richmond Green and on Richmond Hill. These remain well preserved and many have listed building architectural or heritage status. The opening of the railway station in 1846 was a significant event in the absorption of the town into a rapidly expanding London.
Richmond was formerly part of the ancient parish of Kingston upon Thames in the county of Surrey. In 1890 the town became a municipal borough, which was later extended to include Kew, Ham, Petersham and part of Mortlake (North Sheen). The municipal borough was abolished in 1965 when, as a result of boundary changes, Richmond was transferred to Greater London.
Richmond is now part of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It has a significant commercial and retail centre with a developed day and evening economy.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DG374N - While provincial banks in England and Wales lost the right to issue paper currency altogether, the practice of private banknote issue has continued in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The right of Scottish banks to issue notes is popularly attributed to the author Sir Walter Scott, who in 1826 waged a campaign to retain Scottish banknotes under the pseudonym Malachi Malagrowther.
Scott feared that the limitation on private banknotes proposed with the Bankers (Scotland) Act 1826 would be have adverse economic consequences if enacted in Scotland because gold and silver were scarce and Scottish commerce relied on small notes as the principal medium of circulating money. His action eventually halted the abolition of private banknotes in Scotland.
Scottish and Northern Irish banknotes are unusual, firstly because they are issued by retail banks, not central banks, and secondly, as they are not legal tender anywhere in the UK not even in Scotland or Northern Ireland they are in fact promissory notes.
Seven retail banks have the authority of HM Treasury to issue sterling banknotes as currency. Despite this, the notes can be refused at the discretion of recipients in England and Wales, and are often not accepted by banks and exchange bureaus outside of the United Kingdom. This is particularly true in the case of the Royal Bank of Scotland £1 note, which is the only £1 note to remain in circulation within the UK.
In 2000, the European Central Bank indicated that, should the United Kingdom join the euro, Scottish banks (and, by extension, Northern Ireland banks) would have to cease banknote issue. During the Financial crisis of 20072008, the future of private banknotes in the United Kingdom was uncertain. It has been suggested that the Banking Act 2009 would restrict the issue of banknotes by commercial banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland by removing many of the provisions of the Acts quoted above.Banks would be forced to lodge sterling.

In the heart of the village stands Astley Green Colliery Museum which, but for the foresight of Lancashire County Council and several leading figures within the community, would have suffered the same fate as the other collieries in the area, total demolition. It was the uniqueness of the 3,300 hp twin tandem compound steam winding engine that brought the demolition to a halt. As the result of the intervention, the museum houses Lancashire's only surviving headgear and engine house, both of which now have listed building status.
The museum occupies some fifteen acres of the Astley Green Colliery site. To the south lies the Bridgewater Canal and Astley Moss, an important mossland site. The low-lying landscape ensures that the museum's 98ft high lattice steel headgear can be seen for many miles, a fitting memorial to days now past.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BM3JJ3 - A cotton mill is a building housing spinning or weaving machinery for the production of yarn or cloth from cotton, an important product during the Industrial Revolution in the development of the factory system.
Although some were driven by animal power, most early mills were built in rural areas at fast-flowing rivers and streams using water wheels for power. The development of viable steam engines by Boulton and Watt from 1781 led to the growth of larger, steam-powered mills allowing them to be concentrated in urban mill towns, like Manchester, which with neighbouring Salford had more than 50 mills by 1802.
The mechanisation of the spinning process in the early factories was instrumental in the growth of the machine tool industry, enabling the construction of larger cotton mills. Limited companies were developed to construct mills, and the trading floors of the cotton exchange in Manchester, created a vast commercial city. Mills generated employment, drawing workers from largely rural areas and expanding urban populations. They provided incomes for girls and women. Child labour was used in the mills, and the factory system led to organised labour. Poor conditions became the subject of exposés, and in England, the Factory Acts were written to regulate them.
The cotton mill, originally a Lancashire phenomenon, was copied in New England and later in the southern states of America. In the 20th century, North West England lost its supremacy to the United States, then to Japan and subsequently to China.

Such machinery can be dated back centuries. During the 18th and 19th centuries, as part of the Industrial Revolution cotton-spinning machinery was developed to bring mass production to the cotton industry. Cotton spinning machinery was installed in large factories, commonly known as cotton mills.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Blue Room' is a single by The Orb. It was released in 1992 on Big Life Records. Gallup, who compiled the UK singles chart, had recently decided that any release with more than 40 minutes of play would be classified as an album rather than single. The Orb thus decided to record a 39:57 version of 'Blue Room' for a special release.
Founded in 1988 by Alex Paterson and KLF member Jimmy Cauty, The Orb began as ambient and dub DJs in London. Their early performances were inspired by ambient and electronic artists of the 1970s and 1980s, most notably Brian Eno and Kraftwerk. Alex Paterson apparently began his music career in the early 1980s as a roadie for the post-punk rock band Killing Joke.
'Blue Room' is said to be the longest single to ever reach the UK charts, peaking at number eight. An edited version appears on the album U.F.Orb. The Orb's critical and commercial success in the UK peaked in the early 1990s with their albums The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld and U.F.Orb, which reached #1 on the UK Albums Chart in 1992.
This success led to their infamous appearance on BBC 'Top of the Pops', where they showcased their quirky style by playing chess (an interest of Paterson's since his early youth) while the group's single 'Blue Room' ran in the background.

--------------------------
The area where I live was once full of collieries and Astley Green (about 10 miles away) was fortunate enough to have been saved from total demolition by a number of mainly steam enthusiasts, leading community members and supporters within Lancashire County Council.
Mainly due to the uniqueness of a 3,300 hp twin tandem compound reversible steam winding engine the demolition was to a halt. As the result of the stay of execution, the museum grounds house Lancashire's only surviving pit headgear and engine house, both of which now have listed building status.
The Astley Green Colliery shaft was sunk in 1908 to exploit the extensive coal reserves in the south Lancashire Coalfield. The coal seams at Astley Green are very deep and are overlaid by about 100 feet of Chat Moss, wet and unstable ground. The colliery only had a lifespan of 62 years, closing its gates for the last time in 1970.
Apart from the steam winding engine and headgear the museum houses many exhibits, not least of which is the collection of 28 colliery locomotives, the largest collection of its type in the United Kingdom.
Amongst the exhibits housed in the Engine House is the largest steam winding engine ever used in the Lancashire Coalfield. Built by Messers' Yates &
Thom in 1912, the twin tandem compound engine delivers 3,300 HP.

?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Photobooth was the first EP from St Albans dance punk lads Friendly Fires in mid 2006. It more or less slipped under the radar until the bands full first album came out. The name Friendly Fires originates from the opening track of the Manchester Factory label 'Section 25' LP 'Always Now'. (Maybe a track from them later in this series).
The first self titled album was certified double gold in the UK. The band was nominated for a Best Breakthrough Award at The South Bank Show Awards and for \u2018Best Dancefloor Filler\u2019 at the NME Awards. They were also second on the bill on the NME Awards Tour 2009.
On 21 July 2009, the band was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. On 19 January 2010, the band was nominated for two Brit Awards
Best British Group and British Breakthrough Act.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4774887884 - 'I don't know about you but I never look forward to that ritual of buying a car. There was no such ceremony when buying my first one, a green Vauxhall Viva 3 door hatchback from a family friend. Only \u00a3230 but it cost me in excess of that in filler to keep the wings safely stuck together.
Luckily I left the Citroen garage in Warrington in a relative state of relaxed karma after Steve Johnson here had relieved me of a \u00a3500 deposit. He was less relaxed as one of his business vans had just gone walkabout the previous day, on an east bound journey to Irlam on the A57. Its a 'pleasure - pain' thing I like to think!
How do celebs buy a car? Perhaps they have helpers and servants who just sort it. If you were Madonna you may well follow the Kabbalah example. If you are needing or thinking you want to change your car I have provided a simple extract from the good book. The magicians Kabbalah (rather than the Haynes manual):
'For example, an Oath taken as part of a car-buying ritual might begin 'The point of this work is to buy a car (Kether). I wish to buy a car with all the energy I have (Chockmah). I require the car to be a model most suitable to my needs (Binah). I seek a car which is affordable (Chesed) and for which I will be able to strike a good bargain for (Geburah),' and so on.'
So there it is. Although if you were looking for a Citroen van or car, you might try giving Steve a ring on 01925-853155.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF23YW - Antique Ultimate Bell Punch Company Bus Ticket Machine with coloured tickets Made in England.
There were two main problems that faced the early bus and tramway operators with regard to fare collection. One was that of fare dodgers and the other was the possibility of conductors who would fiddle the takings, though it's only a very small minority who would do such things. The solution to these was the Bell Punch ticket system. This was quite ingenious as the system had methods to defeat both, however it was very labour intensive.
The Bell Punch Company produced an automated version of their pre-printed ticket system, which they called Ultimate. These used continuous ticket rolls with the values printed on them. Each ticket carried a serial number and a pre-printed value. The machines had several tracks each of which had a lever at the front that ejected a ticket, which was then torn off against a serrated cutter. The fare stage could be printed in one of three positions on the bottom of the ticket. Each new ticket roll had a piece of adhesive tape (which the conductor had to lick) to join it to the end of the old one, which was supposed to prevent the conductor having to change rolls mid-journey.
The system coped better with changing fare structures, but after a while, the machines became unreliable and would jam up. It was not uncommon to see conductors tearing off tickets from the back of the machines at busy times. Its also not that uncommon at the museum! In the West Midlands, this system was used by West Bromwich, Wolverhampton and Birmingham.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HDB6 - A police box is a British telephone kiosk or callbox located in a public place for the use of members of the police, or for members of the public to contact the police. Unlike an ordinary callbox, its telephone is located behind a hinged door so it can be used from the outside, and the interior of the box is, in effect, a miniature police station for use by police officers.
Police boxes predate the era of mobile telecommunications
now British police officers carry two-way radios and/or mobile phones rather than relying on fixed kiosks. Most boxes are now disused or have been withdrawn from service.
The typical police box contained a telephone linked directly to the local police station, allowing patrolling officers to keep in contact with the station, reporting anything unusual or requesting help if necessary. A light on top of the box would flash to alert an officer that he/she was requested to contact the station.[2]:2 Members of the public could also use the phone to contact a police station in an emergency.
British police boxes were usually blue, except in Glasgow, where they were red until the late 1960s.:13 In addition to a telephone, they contained equipment such as an incident book and a first aid kit.:14 Today the image of the blue police box is widely associated with the science fiction television programme Doctor Who, in which the protagonist's time machine, a TARDIS, is in the shape of a 1960s British police box. In the context of a TARDIS, the image of the blue police box is a trademark of the BBC.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4391219040 - 'Something fascinating I came across today while in Walsall, West Midlands (, England UK) in an old factory. It reminded me of my first job where I worked and the need to clock in (and out). The machines were nowhere near as brilliant as this one however.
These are sometimes called 'Punch Clocks' (as a card was generally punched with a time). The Gledhill-Brook's areregarded as the \u2018Rolls Royce\u2019 of Time Recorders. Huge chain fusee movements fitted with Harrison maintaining power. Most were made and in use during the 1920's in factories. It is essentially a clock with a base that does all the clever stuff.
They were British made and available from 26 Victoria St London, 44 Hill St Birmingham or 43 Market St Huddersfield Gods own county of Yorkshire.
Simplex, Ltd, another clock manufacturer., bought out Gledhill Brook in 1964.

I would personally go for button one, indulgence.
Intelligent drinks machine, somewhere along the lines of the Red Dwarf 'Talkie Toaster' (the machine that could only engage you on a conversation about bread products and methods of toasting).
For students of vending and related arts, this model did actually do tea &
coffee too to everyone in the office.

The Midlothian area of Scotland was once the heart of a large coal mining area. After the decline and defeat of Arthur Scargill, the man who was described as mad for suggesting that 20,000 miners jobs in the UK may go. The true figure was in excess of 40,000. He may have been militant, but he was not mad.
Shame the victors get to write the history eh?
Midlothian is left with some towns and villages with remnents of those heady days. One is Dalkeith:
