Gandalph Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 It looks as though it hasn't seen a vacuum cleaner since the day it was bought, therefore I am assuming it is not yours. I hope. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I've seen many like this - usually with a complaint that it doesn't work and the owner can't understand why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Whom ever owns it might have complained at some stage that it was over heating and probably wondered why. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 We may never know who's it is/was. It was a picture I saw one day whilst wandering the web, and thought it worth keeping as an example for those poor souls who come on to WF complaining that "my computer keeps stopping for no reason".I am not sure if it is a computer, it has a non-PC look to it.

Boris Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I am not sure if it is a computer, it has a non-PC look to it.It is definitely a shot of the front chassis (trim removed) of a Micro-ATX PC :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 luv the hat ...got to get me a hat like that ...then I can build a bridge !got to wonder about the turn radius on a five axle ...The inner wheeels probably lacked flanges to enable it to turn on a sixpence.

Boris Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 How about the immortal Decapod ? :)The Decapod was built in 1902. It was far larger than any locomotive previously built in Britain for home service.The specification required that the locomotive should accelerate a 315 ton train from a standstill to 30-mile-per-hour (48 km/h) in 30 seconds. It had 10 four-foot-six-inch driving wheels. which gave high tractive effort. Three cylinders were used because there was insufficient room for 2 cylinders large enough to develop the required tractive effort without going up to a higher boiler pressure. Even so, it still had to have a pressure of 200 psi (1,378 kPa) [1] to achieve the required result.The engine actually accelerated a new train of 18 carriages weighing 335 tons at a rate of 1.4 feet/second in very windy weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
