  Nice slice of the history of transportation in this one image.

Nord-Norge i ruiner under tyskernes retrett

from Nasjonalarkivet (The National Archives of Norway)

  Endelig en dokumentasjon på den brente jords taktikk og krigen i Finnmark som har vært undereksponert i årtier etter krigen... Visste dere i sør at krigen virkelig var tilstede i nord? Selv Kjakan brydde seg ikke: "de var jo kommunister". Men nå er det jo bra at det blir noe fokus mot nord og ikke bare Milorg i sør som bedrev "noe" militær virksomhet..

The Culm Crusher

  Looking at the description of this photo this is probably a "culm crusher". Culm crusher for mixing culm (anthracite dust), with yellow clay and water to make culm balls to be used as fuel in a domestic fire.

• DannyM8 said:

  conry-michael-books.com/0_grinding_stones.html Michael Conry has published a number of books on Culm Crushing! "Culm, the fine gritty and dusty by-product of anthracite mining, was used as a domestic and industrial fuel for almost 400 years in Ireland, and for even longer in other parts of the world. It was burned as a domestic fuel"

  Sharon Corbet Well found Sharon and that is something I had never heard of before. But where is it and what are the chances of finding the two children???

• Sharon Corbet said:

  Here's a whole history of Culm-bomb making.

  I sent an email to Michael Conry - perhaps he can help.
