Study of the day:

" Une fois que nous avons détruit, découpé, déconstruit le réel, il nous reste ce réseau de fils métalliques, forts, construction humaine pleine de puissance. C’est ici que continue le travail. Nous nous saisissons de ces fils et nous les dédoublons, se forment ainsi de nouvelles figures, s’imaginent de nouvelles réalités. L’imagination libère. Dans l’horizon de l’être, la liberté est supérieure, la puissance s’approche de la possibilité. De cette manière, on peut entrevoir de nouvelles subjectivités, de nouveaux champs d’action, de nouvelles synthèses de coopération. "

" Once we destroyed, cut, deconstructed reality, we still have this network of metal wires, strong, powerfull human construction. This is where the work continues. We take these wires and we split them, and form new figures, imagine new realities. The imagination frees. In the horizon of being, freedom is higher, power is approaching the possibility. In this way, we can foresee new subjectivities, new fields, new syntheses of cooperation. "

When it is remembered that inworking at the full power which is of interest in tonnage rating,cut-off varies inversely with (moderate) speeds, it follows thatthis variation with cut-off implies a variation in road servicewith speed. Again, the method assumes that losses are propor-tional to cylinder power, and it follows that two locomotiveswith the same size cylinders, but different weights on drivers,should have the same frictional loss.

am fast enough. The loss in pressure because of wire-drawing and condensation decreases the mean effective pressure fasterthan the mechanical gain due to the increase in piston speed. 74 ELECTRIC TRACTION FOR RAILWAY TRAINS A definite relation exists between the mean effective steam pressureand the piston speed, as a collection and tabulation of results from a greatnumber of indicator cards show. The general relation is exhibited in theaccompanying curve. The data for the curve were first obtained fromF. J. Cole, Mechanical Engineer of the American Locomotive CompanysEngineering Dept., Schenectady, N. Y. Mr. Cole states: ^This curve,showing the relation between the mean effective pressure and the pistonspeed, was plotted on a large scale, from many hundred indicator diagrams,and represents an average result, taken from different types of locomotivesunder various conditions of service. The data are for a wide-openthrottle, when presumably the cut-off was adjusted so that the locomotive

The curve represents the averagebest maximum mean effective pressure for different piston speeds underordinary conditions, with simple locomotives. There are, of course,limitations due to the capacity of the boiler, size of pipes, kind of valve .gear, and the builds of different locomotive companies. | The curve has been carefully checked by data from indicator cardstaken from Baldwin and Schenectady locomotives with 26-inch strokesfor passenger, and 28-, 30-, and 32-inch strokes, for freight locomotives. The relation exists between the mean effective pressure and thepiston speed, and there is no general relation between mean effectivesteam pressure and revolutions per minute, independent of the pistonstroke, as some early writers have thought.

I ground the OD down to size and notched the ID in hopes of allowing some oil through to the surface against the bronze.
The surface is actually as smooth as a bearing race, the texture is an artifact of the grinding process that shows up in the flash.

This little ground herb has grown in several places where we’ve lived. Webmd gives an idea of how it got its name: The herb is ground and used in treatment of: inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), diarrhea, colic, and stomach upset and irritation (gastroenteritis). It is also used for mouth and throat ulcers, sore throat, and internal bleeding. Some people use self-heal for HIV/AIDS, fever, headache, dizziness, liver disease, and spasm. It is also used to kill germs (as an antiseptic), loosen phlegm (as an expectorant), and tighten and dry skin (as an astringent).

Self-heal contains vitamins C and K, and thiamine. It also contains chemicals called tannins that might help reduce skin swelling (inflammation) and have a drying (astringent) effect on the tissues.

Curious? Me too. Though I have never tried it for any of those things. 🙂

Study of the day:

"(…) la distinction de Carnap entre ce qui est interne et ce qui est externe suppose la distinction entre l’analytique et le synthétique. Après Quine, cette distinction étant mise à mal, on ne pouvait plus faire usage de celle proposée par Carnap. On n’avait tout simplement plus le moyen de déterminer précisément où situer la frontière entre l’interne et l’externe. (…) Je propose donc, tout simplement, très modestement, que l’on s’occupe désormais d’autres distinctions. Rien de plus."

"(…) the Carnap’s distinction between what is internal and what is external assumes the distinction between the analytics and the synthetics. After Quine, this distinction being put to bad, we could not do use of the one proposed by Quine. We simply have no way to determine precisely where the boundary is between the internal and the external. (…) I therefore propose, simply, very modestly, that we deal with other distinctions now. Nothing more."

Half watt laser etching paper. It’s much more difficult than wood: the high albedo means the laser won’t start cutting unless the paper is flat, the laser is very well focussed, and the laser dwells on one point for almost a second before starting moves. It’s like oxy-acetylene cutting: you have to get one point hot before you can move.
I cut from right to left and changed parameters as I went. The slash across the EL is because I forgot to turn off the laser after one move.
