[Buddahaid]

Side wheeler. Sorry if that was confusing.

Not from the Clyde.

[Catfish]

:hmmm: contrary to previous testimony mein hair!
"Which one" is targeted to get the name of the paddle steamer, not if it is a side or stern one.
I take it from the photo that it sure is a side wheeler :salute:

[Jimbuna]

I'm not usually one for standing on ceremony but the rules are clear.

The question was Who is this?

I know it is pretty obvious but give a name someone/anyone.

[Aktungbby]

Well now that I've led Catfish to the promised land....:D

Markussorry I missed this earlier; yes it could be considered the cowboy era

@ Buddhabby:....well...he was certainly venturing into the unknown

[Jimbuna]

Worn by Custer?

[Aktungbby]

Absolutely! his 'jock strap or 'suspensory' on display at the Little Big Horn Museum....along with his socks.... which I viewed in '78 during a truck trip. https://bullrunnings.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/4d7d67cc1f751-image.jpg?w=510(technically, his Rawson’s Patent Elastic Self-Adjusting U.

[Aktungbby]

I thought I read the word "bandage" on it. :hmmm: they should rename the classic Errol Flynn movie : They Died With Their Jockstraps On :O: because, when the pissed-off squaws, mindful of Custer troopers rape and murder of female and children native Americans 8 years previously at the so-called Battle of the Wachita, got done stone-malleting and dismembering the 250+ wounded troopers, the prized tanned leather cavalry boot-tops were cut away for use as containers and useful wigwam accoutrements...ie they didn't exactly "die with their boots on"!!:yep:

[Aktungbby]

^ I should have got it sooner; one of my security clients, when filming in America, owns a Cricket team in India, Kolkata Knight Riders, and recently, a new American League team. He had political issues when trying to bring Pakistani Pro-players into the Indian Leagues- theaters with his films being picketed as a result... additionally, he is a Muslim himself and lives in Mumbai....which created some interesting vigilance issues when he filmed My Name is Khan in nearby Healdsburg's downtown park with 300 extras one long 40F. temp 2009 April night-We had at least a thousand adoring mostly Sikh lady fans and a former Ms India braving the cold just to see god!!?? to fend off! I cautioned him "not to shake hands (so he wouldn't be grabbed by an exuberant fan) and that I, my three guards, and he would move like a rugby scrum sir" to his star-coach inconveniently half-a-block away for his cigarette breaks between takes. HE patted me on the shoulder blade in response and I've never bathed since!:O: The civic police and fire were also on hand for crowd control. The crowd was appreciative and several thanked my detail for taking good care of him; and were also shocked that we guards preferred the food off the Indian catering truck and not the two 'Merican trucks for the crew and extras!:O: I'll have something shortly:arrgh!:

[Aktungbby]

^ And, as if one isn't enough, a rising new star is actually named for my client!!?? ShahRukh Khan: He was named after the Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan.

[Aktungbby]

nope...those go in both directions: up and down.

There could have been another drive gear on the other end.

[mapuc]

Don't know by you, but sometimes the brain says I've seen this before, but where.

Same here I have seen this type of connection I just can remember where.

Markus

[Aktungbby]

A differential? Upon educating myself on automobilia; A differential allows wheels to turn at different speeds as in a turn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOgoejxzF8c so no it is not a differential.

Don't know by you, but sometimes the brain says I've seen this before, but where.

Same here I have seen this type of connection I just can remember where.

Markus Only if there's something smelly in Denmark :D

[Catfish]

Sorry ! no it is not a Jaguar


No my first sentence was the question:
"Crankshaft end driving a vertical shaft to e.g. a distributor?",
i only said it looks like the one of a Jag.
Ok so i take it it is not an automobile part of any kind.

So is it part of a bicycle?

[Aktungbby]

it is part of a bicycle

[Catfish]

A cardan shaft?


This one does not have one, but is a bit confusing looking at the names .. :03:

A drive shaft? yes...and discussed recently in periodicals of general circulation regarding 300 watts

[Cyborg322]

So its the drive shaft linked to the Carden shaft off an E Bike


https://www.linkpicture.com/q/cardan_shaft_byar_bikes.jpg

[Catfish]

^ well he said it is not a cardan shaft, but I also think of an e-bike..

The drive shaft a bit into the article looks exactly like the one you posted.. a Byar-Volta bike made by Zehus?

Is this a biolab instrument?

[Cyborg322]

is this a high end/luxury car interior ? The door panels ?

[Jimbuna]

is this a high end/luxury car interior ? The door panels ?

My apologies but having read Aktungs question this morning I initially thought he was asking if the car in the picture had leather interior.

The picture is part of the exterior of a vehicle which is usually fitted out in leather.

The 'vehicle' when first introduced for sale cost in excess of $100,000

I know I just wanted to help my friends by mention all the types of painting there is and I had only written first type when I forgot about the rest.

Had to make a search and found this page

Markus

[Catfish]

^ nice site, the kind of painting is indeed a special painting style, though heavily influenced by others.
edit: It is not mentioned in the above link, but the style is not well-known anyway.

[Aktungbby]

german artist?

[Catfish]

Not a german artist, but (big hint): Befriended with german artists.

[Aktungbby]

early 1900's?

[Catfish]

^ Yes!

[Jimbuna]

Dutch?

[Buddahaid]

Orphism. Looks like Delaunay but I can't nail it down yet. It is much like Portuguese Woman.

[Catfish]

@Jim sorry saw this late, not dutch.


Orphism. Looks like Delaunay but I can't nail it down yet. It is much like Portuguese Woman.
This is it, 'orphism'. And it is indeed Delaunay, in this case Mr. D.

The painting is called "Hommage à Blériot No. 2", the detail depicts the rotary engine and propellor of a Blériot 11 plane of the time, with which B. had crossed the channel. This is the whole picture:

https://i.imgur.com/Cl4zf0Nl.jpg

The french Delaunay was befriended with german Franz Marc and August Macke. While Marc and Macke went to fight in WW1, Delaunay went to Spain, reason being "not wanting to shoot at his friends".
Marc and Macke both died in the trenches.

This is the exposition where i saw it:
https://www.e-flux.com/announcements/38286/franz-marc-august-macke-and-robert-delaunay/

What is this called, exact name please..I meant the name of the painting, but i guess you could understand it as which exact style has been used, and orphism is correct.

So, over to Buddahaid:salute:

[Buddahaid]

I looked at that painting, admittedly not fully awake, but didn't find that prop hub...

I'm at work so it will be several hours before I can post something.

I new I'd seen it ....half a century ago in an art history class:k_confused: and was searching under "surrealist propellers"! instead of Apollinaire's 'cubic orphism':wah: I'm now a little bleriot-eyed from searching!:O: Robert Delaunay and his wife Sonia Terk Delaunay remained the main protagonists of the Orphic movement. Their earlier works focused on Fauvist colors, variously abstract; such as Sonia's 1907 Finnish Girl and Robert's 1906 Paysage au disque. The former relying on pure colors, the latter on color and mosaic-like brushstrokes painted under the influence of Jean Metzinger, also a Neo-Impressionist (with highly Divisionist and Fauve components) at the time.[4]

Even though Orphism was effectively dissolved before World War I, American painters Patrick Henry Bruce and Arthur Burdett Frost, two of R. Delaunay's pupils, embarked on a similar form of art from 1912 onward. The Synchromists Morgan Russell and Stanton Macdonald-Wright wrote their own manifestos in an attempt to differentiate themselves from the Orphism of the Delaunays, but their abstract paintings nonetheless appeared sub-category of Orphism.[2] https://d1dzh206jt2san.cloudfront.net/posts-content-images/15186920164AC6t.jpg

^ :haha: In Delaunay's Hommage à Blériot (No 1) you can even see the landing gear and the wings of the XI plane.. almost looks like his work #2 was not quite finished

I thought is looked like Delaunay but Sonia. Overlooked her husband should of dug deeper. Their work is very similar. looking for a match which did not exist. :wah: :haha:

[Aktungbby]

a building?

[Buddahaid]

Yes it is a building but what building?

[Aktungbby]

Federal?

[Buddahaid]

I think that would be a yes although I'm not certain if it's owned federally.

[Aktungbby]

in DC?

[Buddahaid]

in DC?

Not in DC.

[Catfish]

Belonging to a power plant?

[Buddahaid]

Not part of a power plant.

[Catfish]

Factory?

[Buddahaid]

Not a factory. It is a internationally known site.

[Aktungbby]

in the continental US?

[Jimbuna]

Refrigerated?

[Buddahaid]

in the continental US?

Yes.

[Buddahaid]

Oops I failed to respond. There is definately cooling involved.

[Catfish]

Some server center (e.g. like from Google or Amazon) where electronics have to be cooled?
Though i hear they build those further north for less cooling costs :hmmm:

[Buddahaid]

Not a server farm but does have a repetitious nature.

[Cyborg322]

A district Energy/Cooling plant ?

definition : a district energy system, a central plant or plants produce steam, hot water, or chilled water, which is then pumped through a network of insulated pipes to provide space heating, cooling, and/or hot water for nearby connected customer buildings.

[Jimbuna]

Battery farm for hens?

[Buddahaid]

Neither of those. It does aim to create something.

[Aktungbby]

is it scientific in nature and endeavor?

[Jimbuna]

Weather related?

[Buddahaid]

is it scientific in nature and endeavor?

It is indeed. Not a weather station or weather related.

[Aktungbby]

related to subatomic particle generation?

[Catfish]

I thought of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), but this does not generate the waves :hmmm:

[Buddahaid]

related to subatomic particle generation?

Yes.

[Cyborg322]

Hadron Collider ?

[Buddahaid]

Hadron Collider ?

Not CERN. It is in the continental US as established earlier.

[Cyborg322]

like Stanford SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory California ?

[Catfish]

Cut him some SLAC, this is it :D
@Cyborg322 :) :up:

[Buddahaid]

SLAC for the win. I'll post the full pic after work.

[Cyborg322]

Is it a painting?

No its not a painting

It looks like a reflection on a thing we shall guess.

Markus

Its not a reflection but one of the surfaces may well be reflective

[Jimbuna]

Elon Musk Starship?

[Buddahaid]

Elon Musk Starship?

Earthbound? Is it a test bed for an engine?

[Cyborg322]

Elon Musk Starship? No. Your first guess was not far off in a round about way

Earthbound? Is it a test bed for an engine?



Many off the guesses combined are close to the answer. You may need to think a little out of the box for this one.

[Catfish]

The space shuttle?

[Cyborg322]

The space shuttle?

not a spaceship rocket or any kind of aircraft
