National Library of Ireland on The Commons According to the NIAH the building was partly destroyed by fire in 1943 but spire was removed earlier c.1940. I don't know why. That fine bank building on the left was also demolished. Pity.

Opened on the afternoon of 4th December 1907. "The distribution of prizes and medals for proficiency in religious knowledge took place simultaneously." (Waterford Chronicle Wednesday, 4 December 1907). The article refers to the new Mason and Lady Lane Amalgamated National School.

Suck Diesel Thank you for that. Some of these men may well have worked on the school...

Not long before June 6th 1910, (May 13th) the new king, George V, was proclaimed in Waterford from the steps of the City Hall "in the presence of a huge and enthusiastic gathering of citizens". As well as the crowds, there was the 53rd Battery Royal Field Artillery and its trumpeters, lined out opposite the City Hall, who sounded their trumpets on the arrival of Sir William Goff in full uniform of Deputy Lieutenant. The account in the Waterford Standard; added
The children attending the Mason and Lady-lane Incorporated Schools were all assembled at the upper windows overlooking the Mall, and from there they had a splendid view of the imposing proceedings.

Some Rohr nacelles had composite pieces in a part one commenter called a "trust reverser chain." This looks like a piece of one of those composite items.

I'm unsure of the name of the metal part. It looks like a link in a chain. Please add it to the tags if you know it. You must have a user name to add tags.

Chuck Walla said:
The numbers, 74-75-77, correspond to strain gages attached to the metal. The gage circuit is buried under specification-grade epoxy so the gage and the wire stays put under the epoxy blanket.
Sometimes specification-grade nail polish like paint or silicon rubber is used to protect wiring. Please comment if you think this is silicon rubber. Medical grade Silastic may also be used. Hardware store silicon rubber usually has acids that can damage the strain gage wiring. That's why it smells like vinegar when curing.
Spot (ANOTHER) mistake? Your ideas, corrections, and comments are encouraged.

Vectored thrust? Thrust reverser? I see acoustic absorber. Most of the Chula Vista trust reverser testing photos were shot outside. This looks indoors.
ZULOAGA by Ingram

Suck Diesel said:
likely created between 1925 and 1933.
During this timeframe, Ingram left Hollywood to live in Nice, where he set up Victorine Studios. He traveled extensively throughout the Mediterranean and Europe and frequently socialized with prominent continental artists, writers, and cultural figures—including Ignacio Zuloaga, who was active in France and Spain until his passing in 1945. -

When director Rex Ingram died in 1950, The Stage published an obituary - of the actor Rex Ingram, who was still alive. Followed by an apology the following week.

He was born in 1870, so how old does he look in this sketch?
More than 55, I think -

From Art Siegal's photo above: "Józef Klemens Piłsudski (5 December 1867 – 12 May 1935) was a Polish statesman; he was Chief of State (1918–22), "First Marshal of Poland" (from 1920), and de facto leader (1926–35) of the Second Polish Republic as the Minister of Military Affairs. From World War I he had great power in Polish politics and was considered a distinguished figure on the international scene.He is viewed as a father of the Second Polish Republic founded in 1918"

Suck Diesel said:
The cast-iron pillars are detailed replicas of a famous Victorian design originally created by British architect George John Vulliamy between 1870–1874 for London’s Thames Embankment project.
The "Sea Horses":
The creature featured on the base of the pillars is a hippocampus—a mythological sea-horse with a real horse's head and torso terminating in a scaled fish tail.
Disappearance and Restoration:
Two of the original four lamps surrounding the monument were removed during the mid-20th century, leaving only two standing for decades. However, the Dublin City Council's recent pedestrian plaza redesign plans for the area Grow College Green include casting and reinstalling the missing pair to restore the site to its historic 19th-century appearance -

Does anyone (Hi Suck!) have date information about the resting horse-drawn trams, specifically Nos, '114' and '120' ?
Megazoom shows that the spiral steps to the upper deck were only iron bars like a ladder. Accident waiting to happen, but I suppose it would clean the horse-apples off your shooes.

Very important detail about Poole's studio setup. I would never have guessed.
"My mother said it was taken by Poole's and Poole's supplied the clothes. There are 3 photos taken the same day and the mother's have different shirts on." -
