Hello Mark,
That is the best "onboard video" I have ever seen. Really good, how did you do it ?. Keeping things in view must take a lot of practice. Would not be so good if the water was rough !!!.

Hi Guys and Girls., this is not a model boat video but with the recent talk about the Avro Vulcan thought you might like to see some footage of a radio Controlled jet engine version. Also some Tank Towing by one of the Southport model Boat Members today at the Woodvale Rally.

Jaydee, I asked Terry, the club sec to bring his pusher tug ashore then put my little digicompact camera into "video mode" and put it on the deck of the pusher tug Rameses II and sent it on its way. He then sailed the boat around.

In doing it that way are you able to see what you have taken as it is done or do you have to wait until recovery of the cam
R,
PS, I have a colour cctv 2.4 ghz survalance camera which is wi fi and runs on a 12 volt dc transformer. I had thought of mounting it on Tito Neri but that would meen I would have to take the laptop and the cctv rec to the lake which is just too much trouble.

cat, I have a rough Idea what I have taken, but final proof is when the camera is lifted off the boat and run through playback

Chernobyl is not a deserted land, criminals and drug addicts hang out inside the fenced off area where radiation keeps the cops away. Surprisingly, an 80-year-old couple still lives in the center of Chernobyl in a "little house on the praire" They grow chickens and potatoes and travel outside the "closed zone" to collect their $100 pension. They have a pond full of fish all to themselves, and they are quite happy.
Id like to see more about this topic on youtube. I am especially worried about third world countries (Russia, Pakistan, Former USSR, India, China) gettin nulcear materials that they don't have the infrastructure to maintain safely. I think it is going to be very hard to stop the guys who want a quick fortune by selling nuclear to these countries, President B. being one of these. I don't think the world learned it's lesson after Chernobyl..:(
BTW, I will be posting my video this Sunday...

not to burst your bubble on that one Bryan, but in those days the steering, so I have been told, was based on the old aspect of "Tiller steering" whereby to steer to starboard either by tiller or by rope steering on the old sailing ships the wheel or tiller had to be pulled or steered to port, and vice versa. As such the early steam ships, still a throwback from the old days of sail where still set up that way, and as such by turning the wheel to port she would have turned to starboard..........try steering a narrow boat...a similar concept.

I know it's not maritime related but you've got to go some to equal this.

Indeed. I think the logic is that the ordsers were in the form "Starboard your helm" or "Port your helm" so tiller to port caused boat to turn to starboard. he same would have been true ofthe eralier whipstaff steering of bigger ships and was carried over into wheel steered ships to avoid confusion. I'm sure there must be a reference somewhere as to when the Navy in particular took a decision to change to the present convention.

Agreed that is a good clip along with Martins , not sure how the wife would take to me bringing that back home.. However I think that for me it was the Fly past of the Jet Model of the Vulcan at this years Woodvale which is about 33 seconds in to the video and the flying display of 3 Lancaster's also at the same show which did it for me.

A question about watching some of these videos.
Frequently I find that the vid. starts to load, it plays for a few seconds but then freezes (apparently to load the next few seconds of action). This continues throughout the length of the video but does not happen once it is loaded and I start "Replay".
Is there any adjustment I can make to my settings to avoid this?

Title: Re: YouTube & other Videos.....!
Post by: Martin (Admin) on October 10, 2008, 07:52:14 am
Good question Roger.... I dunno! (The pausing is due to badly negotiated streaming rate between your browser, your ISP and Youtube's servers.) Usually when that happens, I click pause for a while to let it 'build up a head of steam.'

Yes, you can either pause the video as soon as the page loads, or get a faster interweb connection

Roger your connection simply isn't fast enough to be able to stream the video so as has been said pause the video until it has all loaded then press the play button and you will be able to view it smoothly all the way through. You need a pretty good broadband connection to be able to see them first time round as video is still pretty demanding on your connection even at You Tube resolutions!!

Post by: Roger in France on October 10, 2008, 07:33:14 pm
Ah...thanks for that guys. I thought "Pause" would also pause the download. I also thought that maybe French wire was thinner than UK wire! however, in another thread I learn that the signals run along the surface of the wire and not in the middle of it. I used to use the analogy that electric wiring was similar to plumbing with a flow and return (waste), I shall have to amend that as well!!!!

If you had one you could (depending whats under the bridge compartment build a slot or something so that the camera would just slide in and be unobtrusive.
Think you need some sort of emblem below the bridge , looks a bit lonely there.

My Imara build is finished. She took me 6 months to build and was a very interesting construction.
It is right about what they say about the build. It's difficult to follow the plans and further advice is severely needed.
My thanks go out to all you guys for your comments and help.
Here is a cut down version of my build CD to give you a flavour of what I went through. The original CD is 25 minutes long and "You Tube" let me spend 5.5 hours downloading it before they said they could not accept it, as it was too long. They only allow 10 minutes.
Here is the "click on" address.

The music is done to represent the period of the time and I love that type of music anyway. (younger than I look)

Ultra Deep Field - - - Here is what happened when professional astronomers pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at absolutely nothing and left it there, first for 10 days and then for 11 days. Then they made the images into a 3-D presentation.
By the way, 13 billion light years are about equal to 880,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

When companys use old classic songs they normally destroy them , However on this occasion I think that the song and video in Ikea's latest commercial is genious , they have kept the essence of the original videos (which were not a lot really) and updated it while at the same time promoting their new kitchen styles.
And yes it is Jona in the commercial as well.
Jona Lewie Presents Man Like Me - You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties .
Hope you like it.. Ps I do not work for Ikea..

Canadian postal workers decided to have a little fun. They rigged a van so that the people on the driver's side could only see the driver....who is a dog. The real driver, who is on the passenger side, cannot be seen. Partway down the street in a residential area the van stops and a man (obviously in on the deal) approaches the driver (the dog) and starts giving him directions, as though the dog is lost.

1. Impressed how easy it is to start a jet turbine powerboat. 2. Impressed by the "pick up" of the engine. 3. NB. Hydroplane boats have a "rolling start" 4. Notice the active Canard elevator. 4. Always turn left... unless your 'turn/skid fin' breaks off during the race! - 7:30 5. Looks like wood still offers you more protection than wood at 70mph!

Something different - a trolleybus model. This 1:13 scale model of a Skoda tbus is interesting at the end, when all the doors open which is a nice modelling feature.
The 1:1 scale ones are still very popular in cities such as Salzburg but haven't made a comeback in the UK yet. Systems are planned for Leeds and London, but nothing concrete to date. A fraction the cost of a tram system, every bit as green, but is still likely to get stuck in city traffic.

Hi Tombsy,
I had a look and found a few other youtube clips of the model and in this one the operater is holding an r/c handset. It is only a very quick shot at the beginning - don't blink or you will miss it! Thanks for the reply to my post and the interest shown.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qygv2coSiig
Out of curiosity I took a look on Wiki at the trolleybus systems in Canada and a system is currently in use in Vancouver. Operated by Translink this looks a good modern system.

Coral Castle was built in the early 20th century by an eccentric Latvian recluse named Edward Leedskalnin who allegedly left Latvia when he was rejected by his 16 year old fiance. He would never marry and would spend 30 years of his life building a Coral Castle and its surrounding buildings, for his alleged 'Sweet Sixteen'. Leaving for America, he came down with terminal tuberculosis. He allegedly spontaneously healed, stating that magnets had some effect on his healing.

Harvards Waterskiing
"Early morning anglers were pleasantly surprised by a formation of 4 Harvard Aircraft sponsored by Castrol Aviator and Academy Brushware (Pty) Ltd, when they approached the dam from a South Westerly direction and continued descending with their main gear and flap out towards the water. Once lined up the lead aircraft touched down onto the water and shortly thereafter the number two, three and four wingmen did the same. At this point the formation continued to waterski along the waters surface at a constant speed until take off which occurred before the North Eastern bank of the Klipdrift Dam near Johannesburg."

It's a scale model of a Lister stationary engine made by my brother-in-law,George Punter, an English ex-pat living in Bundaberg, Queensland. He made virtually the entire model, including all the castings (from patterns he made himself). It's just one of many outstanding models he's made, including a couple which won Bronze Medals at the ME Exhibition in the UK. He also is a frequent contributor the the English Model Engineering magazine.

If they have done their arithmetic properly, lift off should be easy, and enough should be known by now about power and lift to do the sums. On a smaller scale, there have been autonomous models that work well, so scaling up should not have presented any problems. I am left wondering exactly how crazy the driver has to be to sit upright between those spinning blades. For any practical use, the amount of power that can be stored puts a solid limit on flight duration, so its going to need something pretty radical to happen before it becomes in some way useful.

I've always wanted to have a ride in a helicopter.... but I've gone off the idea!
Good set. Not seen that compilation before though I've seen some of the individual clips. But the second to last looked more like a test to destruction than a crash.
Still Martin, most of those were survivable and several occupants were seen to escape. The advantage of a helicopter is that as a rule when you are near the ground, such as trying to land or take off, you aren't moving very fast. Fixed wing aircraft tend to be doing 60 mph or more which can make it harder to crash survivably. Just don't go for a ride when they are lifting things onto to tall buildings :D

Interesting program about how people use and perceive the Internet.... and Forums!
What is it about the digital world that encourages normal people to disregard the rules of everyday life? Is it the cloak of anonymity the net offers? The social rules of online communities? Or simply human nature?
This week, Aleks Krotostki delves into the dark side of the digital world to explore whether or not the internet fuels the breakdown of social and moral boundaries.
She speaks to a troll who claims Lord and Socrates as her forebears, Dave Eshleman who was one of the guards in the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment and Professor Alex Haslam who recreated the experiment for the BBC, with startlingly different results.

Watched the Emma Maersk prog last night. In the middle of the ocean they changed out a con-rod (I think) on the main engine while it was still running. Power was increased on the other 13 cylinders while the faulty one was down, so no speed was lost.
How the heck do they do that? (Change the con-rod) The programme just skated over it which was a shame.

Watch a 10-story rocket stop in mid flight, come to a hover and then descend back down and land nearly perfectly.
"The Grasshopper test vehicle is designed to advance the technologies needed to return a rocket back to Earth intact. While most booster rockets today are designed to fall back into the ocean or burn up in the atmosphere after use, SpaceX is designing rockets that will return to the launch pad for a vertical landing"

Epic sight of a Russian hovercraft/ship/destroyer/ starwars cruiser ?? %%
A shocked crowd of holiday-makers at a beach near Russia’s western city of Kaliningrad had to make way for a landing craft carrier which unexpectedly slid onto the shore on its air cushion.
"The video of the incident, taken by one of the beach-goers, was posted online on Tuesday. It features the amphibious landing craft “Zubr” (“Bison”), sailing on its air cushion, raising huge waves and a making loud noise as it approached a crowded beach in Mechnikovo, Kaliningrad region and eventually slid onto the shore packed with people.

Not video but I have several stills of this scenario. I took them in May at our home in Spain. The wasp actively hunts the spiders amongst ground cover plants, chases it into the open and then a battle commences, in our case the wasp won and almost got away with its prey. This wasp in particular was really aggressive, it let me get to within 3 feet with the camera and then went on the offensive, rearing up on its legs and advancing towards me. Three times I tried to get close and three times it did the same thing.
I did the only thing I could, I emptied half a can of wasp spray on it to get it out of the garden {-) The spider was well dead. Finger shows just how big these two brutes were.

"Lakes and smaller bodies of water do not normally have "tidal waves" which are typical only for oceans and seas but also bodies of water that are connected with them. There are some suggestions that Louisiana sinkhole somehow connected with the Gulf of Mexico through the salt dome and the Louann salt layer which connects all of these salt domes and covers over 7 states. The Louann underlies much of the northern Gulf coast from Texas to the Florida panhandle and extends beneath large areas of the Gulf coastal plain of Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. Pressure, sediment movements, another floor collapse, gas leak...there is a list of possible causes."

That's a nice boat, but wouldn't it be a diesel? So the 'funnel' would be for a kitchen stove not the engines? Too much smoke for a diesel motor. Needs to be sailed slower as well, scale speed would be much slower. But all in all a nice model.
Title: Re: YouTube & other Videos.....!
Post by: tica on September 22, 2013, 11:42:29 am
It's a semidiesel and the funnel is used as the exhaust pipe, and they did actually make a fair amount of smoke in those days and a recognizable sound as you can hear on the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nquwk70m9z4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nquwk70m9z4)
Yes the speed is to high he was testing a new prop when doing the video, he won silver with this model at the 2013 Naviga Danish Championship

So gave it up sold the bike and bought-------the fastest road bike at the time {-) Suzuki Hayabusa, the Ferrari of the bike world. So instead of drag racing I took up top speed runs, closed airfield 2 mile runway (raf Woodbridge in Suffolk) The bikes were phenomenal, that speed was slow compared to some.
Even that has gone now, shoulder reconstruction meant the doc said I can't ride bikes any more, still now I'm 58 I seem to have slowed down some and gone back to a sedentary hobby in my retirement O0

This record set last November has just been broken again, oddly in the same place in Spain. The waves get big only after a storm as just happened in the UK, all to do with the massive Atlantic swells coming into contact with the shallow continental shelf. A sort of sunami caused by the weather and not an earthquake.

The video - which I'd seen elsewhere - demonstrates very well the sort of impact that these originally still images must have had to people not immersed in a culture of moving pictures. The video is a breathtaking piece of work. Art? Most definitely.

Maybe in US according to the tow truck style and the road with two continious yellow lines in middle but white ligns on side.

What colour are number plates in Norway? They are one of the countries who use yellow lines in the centre of the road to denote opposing traffic direction. It could have been a hire car and thus "local", anybody manage to spot which side the steering wheel was on before it scuttled for cover?

This is the QM docking at King George V dry dock in Southampton which unfortunately, along with many more in the UK, is not there any more. I worked for the company that leased the dock from ABP and in more recent years we dry docked the QE II and a number of the P&O Cruise liners (amongst others) before it was closed in 2005.
If you google King George V Dry Dock (images) there are some great photos of the dock and the vessels.

Derek all employed people(working for an organisation rather than self employed) pay income tax each week/month on their salary, so at the end of the tax year you will have paid what the tax man requires. If you become unemployed you are given a P45 which shows how much tax (and pay) you have earned from the beginning of the tax year to the termination of your employment.
Depending on how long it takes you to find another job (if at all) the P45 allows you to claim back overpaid taxes for the period you were working.
Hope it helps, Brian.

First death of this years TT-Frenchman Frank Petricola in practice for the races. While you have sympathy for his family the bigger question has to be asked, why in Gods name did the organisers allow him to race?
This racer had suffered life threatening head injuries and multiple fractures after an accident at last years NW200 races. With injuries like that he shouldn't have his licence back yet never mind being given a chance to race.

"War at Sea: Dreadnoughts at Scapa Flow". iplayer link (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05qqhcn/war-at-sea-scotlands-story-1-the-dreadnoughts-of-scapa-flowhttp://).
I thoroughly enjoyed this last night - some great shots. However, what most impressed me was the use of original footage and the attention to detail. They talk about HMS Lion, we see HMS Lion, for example - someone did their research!
It's a bit edited (time available?) when it comes to the detail of the fleet actions, but if this is what the BBC can do with regard to WW1 naval history then I am ready to be impressed in May next year.

Yes, pretty good, not too many obvious mistakes either. The photo purportedly showing Lion damaged at the Dogger Bank was actually the hit on Q turret at Jutland.

Even in these days of austerity the Beeb do a reasonable job sometimes. Everything is farmed out to production companies so the content can be suspect. Most people will see a well made production but us riveters see the faux pas.

Agree, Colin. The other thing that caught my eye was that much of the footage of battleships seemed late war. Plenty of searchlights, flying-off platforms, training scales, all suggesting 1917/1918+. Presumably there is very little film from the early/mid war period?

What a klutz!
Mind it brought back school memories. In our electronics group a kid who was really into it for 14 years old rather than taking it up as something new like the rest of us. He came in one day with this massive electrolytic capacitor, us not knowing what it was were gullible to fall for it. He'd place it on your hand and tell you not to move, of course you did and got a massive jolt from it.
This thing really was big, not much smaller than todays coca cola cans, God knows where he picked it up from, but he was always bringing in stuff to impress the tutor.
Title: Re: YouTube & other Videos.....!
Post by: grendel on November 14, 2015, 09:22:54 pm
in my first job we had an engineer who would charge up a capacitor on his megger, then toss it to you, if you caught it - you got a shock, if it hit you - you got a shock (mind you it was his office that was the other side of the wall we used for target air pistol shooting - until we realised that pellets were going right through the wall - oops) this was way before we worried about health and safety at work- maybe 1978-9. We hung calendars over the holes in the walls Grendel

I've always been inquisitive and when I was about four I found that putting the pointy end of one of Mum's knitting needles on the the red hot bit of our electric fire element and touching the body of the needle on the metal guard resulted in a satisfying flashbang and neatly cut the needle in half. I never connected this with Nan having to re-wire a fuse. I also found the feel and pop when pushing a needle through the grill of Dad's prized Tannoy base reflex loud speaker and through the cone very satisfying, (to this day I still baggy first at poking my finger through the foil seal on a newly opened jar of instant coffee). He found out about the first and decided that the best way of demonstrating the effects of an electric shock was to connect me up with wires and matchsticks to a Henry Meadows impulse magneto and cranking it over. I learned a good lesson that day. The sight of a box of Swan Vestas always invokes memories of that day. He never to my knowledge found out about the speaker which is probably a good thing because I'm never sure which would be worse, electrocution or execution! Jerry.

I found out about electric shocks the day I tested an old radio battery the traditional way by sticking my tongue across the terminals, 9v gives a bit of a tingle - a 90v battery on the other hand, leaves a stinking headache - good job it was nearly flat. the other thing I learned as a kid was dont cut the mains cable on your train transformer when its still plugged in and switched on.

Eons ago when I was a squaddie based on Christmas Island I was a fitter in one of the power stations. One of our squad had a habit of using the rear of the power station instead of walking to the latrine. This annoyed one of the electricians immensely so he wired up a Megger tester to the corrugated sheet wall and next time when the piddler used his 'private facilities', the sparks flew (as did his screams!) and he was instantly cured. :-))

The grandson of the builder is enquiring about there current whereabouts, to no avail so far. The Yahoo Group Manned Model Ships International members are also doing some detective work.

The BBC is showing Dan Snow’s Battle of Jutland: The Navy’s Bloodiest Day on Sunday. Scores are still being settled between supporters of the main British admirals, cautious Sir John Jellicoe, commander of Britain’s Grand Fleet, and his swashbuckling cruiser chief, Sir David Beatty

Kipper - have another look at the video - is the "bit of the boat swinging in the wind" the same bit of structure you can see @ 01:00 - 01:10 fixed to the boat at approx. 45 degrees with 2 support wires? or am I missing something? - Is this the support rigged for the cameras?

Kipper - have another look at the video - is the "bit of the boat swinging in the wind" the same bit of structure you can see @ 01:00 - 01:10 fixed to the boat at approx. 45 degrees with 2 support wires? or am I missing something? - Is this the support rigged for the cameras?
Regards C-3PO
No it's this bit, looks like the unit off the top of the mast came adrift in one of the big hits. :-)
https://youtu.be/Ku3B7XQE6Nw?t=16m36s (https://youtu.be/Ku3B7XQE6Nw?t=16m36s) - - Hub looks very small compared to the size of the blades!
It's a C P prop (constant pitch) & doesn't need the fat boss of the V P (Variable pitch) prop that houses the hydraulic gubbins , has large blade root radius's to keep the strength, might be for a box boat or maybe military. Bill

Hi all. I thought you might like to see this little creation. I had a lot of fun making this movie and I was really shocked to see I had such good footage of a near fatal collision. This was nearly curtains in a deep lake under the bow of a big Battlecruiser. I am sure you will all get the ‘references.’ https://youtu.be/7rgiXEA4jfY (https://youtu.be/7rgiXEA4jfY)

Brilliant tutorial on the use of the multimeter :o...
Interestingly, I found when using my multimeter to check for flatness....the voice used the same units of measurement ie., micron, however measured these as ...flat microns, not so flat microns and very flat microns ..... the voice also had a distinct Chinese synthesised dialect
So from this we could also probably use these instruments for language identification...[or a birth place of the instrument validation check]

Sorry if I don't see the "amazing" in this old news, or the fart that built the Lego Missouri either, or anything Lego for that matter. The things I've seen people on this and other forums produce, truly from scratch, and yet, where's the international news coverage? The world is overly impressed with the unimpressive.
Here's something "amazing" and not one Lego to be found, or toothpicks for that matter...though it could be argued that toothpicks are a by-product of this gentleman's work.
Where did the kid get the skill to stick plastic brinks together at that age!? Hell, where did he get the money to buy all those Lego!? Probably from stealing aluminum from people's houses.

The aluminum thing was a joke, but you don't "get" jokes, I forget that jokes are "triggers" in today's society, or lack there-of.
As for examples of my "prowess" they are available to anyone that is capable of the great effort of actually looking. Sorry, there are no Legos, but there may be a toothpick or three.

I was the Mining and Gunnery Officer in Abdiel for 12 months a good while after that film was made after the 40/60 Bofer was fitted. I never had any training, they gave me a book with about 100 volumes. I wish I'd seen that film before. Now I know what I was doing! The mines I laid we loaded in Newton Noyes jetty in Milford Haven. Although they were inert (some made of concrete) a lot of the little wizzbangs on the sinkers were hazardous if handled incorrectly and worst of all was the Visual Mine Firing Indicator buoy seen on top of the mines here. They had been known to go off prematurely and were full of phosphorous. Thank god for good NCOs. Don't know where I'd have been without them. Respect to you guys. Jerry.

Here is a Youtube link to some Aussie steam, 2 Class C38 locos slogging up from the coast to the Great Dividing Range. 3801 is streamlined while 3830 is in the unstreamlined form. In the heyday of steam the C38s were the pinnacle of express steam in NSW, their most famous working was on the Newcastle Flyer, between Sydney and Newcastle NSW. Both of these locos are currently undergoing overhaul, with 3801 scheduled for completion early 2018. 3830's return to service however is less certain, with unexpected problems having been discovered during the overhaul. Its return to steam is not known.

When I remember it (1949) there used to be a lot more superstructure sticking out of the water and they used to take people out on the local pleasure flips for a trip around the Richard Montgomery . Have a feeling they don't do that any more. Health and Safety ? Trouble is that the wreck is laying a very short distance away from the shipping lane to Sheerness dockyard with the large car transporter deliveries going back and forth. People who live on the Isle of Sheppey don't give it a second thought . They did try removing some of the ordnance after the war but divers reported it so unstable with the load moving and dropping when other things were touched that the decision was taken to abandon the attempts.

If you are following the Tally Ho project then this one might interest you as well....
Its called Acorn to Arabella. While its broadly similar to Tally Ho these guys are felling their own trees and casting lead keels. Both channels are technical, but while Tally Ho is being done by a young boat builder with the requisite skills, Arabella is being done by two keen amateurs only one of whom has carpentry or joinery background.

I think there was another solution there. The leaks must be fairly small and so the water is partly filtered as it gets through the plating, now use this water with a small filter to feed the boiler. Why do people complicate the matter Fergus? Saves a lot of work, but just don't stop. Any other solutions? Roy

I didn't realize she was the "biggest battleship ever built in Britain"!
According to Janes, a bit heavier than Hood at "standard displacement", considerably heavier fully loaded. Then again, Hood was really a battle cruiser with added armour even if it was heavier than any of the RN's WW2 "real" battleships. Since any new battleship had to be able to sort out the other sides latest, there was a tendency for later designs to be steadily more capable. This meant more speed, powerful weaponry and better protection. To get more of everything with the same basic technology meant a bigger ship to carry it all.

Reminds me very much of the 'Maltese Falcon' with that rig.
I lucked upon seeing the 'Falcon' moored off the Isle of Man a few years ago and was totally boggled when it sailed away under motor power, and then set its sails, all without a sign of human intervention! :-))
See the sequence I shot there below.

[Later] Ah, there's a good reason for its similarity to the 'Falcon', they both use the 'Dyna Rig' technology for the masts and sails.

Lovely! If only Bovington had a canal, they could sail the LCT up for occasional demonstrations of tank loading and exiting.
Reminds me of the stories about the 'A' Lighters that used to travel to and from Tobruk in 1941 with supplies, tanks etc, and taking wounded and non combatants back along the Libyan coast. None of the lighters (LCT1s) serving on that route survived from what I recall, it was a hellish job. I look forward to seeing her restored and on display at Pompey!

My research in to my gunboat HMS Gnat told me about A lighters and I always wondered what they looked like. Gnat was torpedoed whilst escorting a convoy of A lighters on Oct 21st 1941.

Re above, about 25 years ago I went to see professional model boat maker Malcolm Darch in Salcombe, I arrived by yacht as well. He was making a mega yacht well actually two mega yachts, both the same size. They had been commissioned by the owner one was to be a static model in a case and be displayed in the yacht, the other a radio controlled one. Malcolm went to extreme lengths with his modelling even having cast propellers identical to the originals. Here I had one of my first regrets. He offered me a restoration he had taken on of a Bassett-lowke cargo boat, I thought there was maybe not enough room in the boat to transport it and I turned it down. We were in a Moody 425 (42.5 feet loa) and as it sleeps 7 and there were three of us there must have been loads of room! (Moody boats, think Jaguar / Bentley cars).
Never mind! regards from Oz. Roy

It's all very sad! I remember being a Learning Support Assistant at an infant school quite a while ago now and we had a sports day. They had races etc, but there were no winners!
They did not think it was the right thing to do to reward a child for being good at something. So in my book they grow up assuming they can do anything and everything, but never having been put to the test. Likewise there is no need for them to know how anything works as in most cases you dispose of it in an incredibly eco-friendly way and buy another.
I think I am getting too old to have a valued opinion of the teenagers we see now.

Don't see anything really new here. Basically a conventional drive system with the motor in a bulge under the hull instead of inside the hull. Just easier to maintain than the original azipods. Jim

The sealing of marine propulsion pods has been their Achellies Heel :embarrassed: for 30 years
Would think some incremental concepts of sealing round elements have been employed to offer such reliability
[Having said this after a lifetime of sealing elements in hydraulic fluid engineering, I do not quite comprehend how this is achieved %) ]
The placement of the motive diesel engine in the rotating Pod also requires breathing large volumes of low pressurized inlet aid and exhaust gases which must be achieved via rotating slip-ring joints....and not a few 100 mm >>:-( of flexible hoses

The ship already had motors for driving the schottels. I would imagine that all that is in the fin itself is just the transmission, not an entirely new engine.
the Cat Propulsion Twin Fin System comprises a compact electric motor and gearbox configuration connected via short drive shaft, rotating a pair of controllable pitch propellers whose performance is enhanced by two tailor-made fins attached to the hull. Major transmission parts in the system are accessible from inside the vessel, enhancing ease of maintenance and averting the need to drydock.
Title: Re: YouTube & other Videos.....!
Post by: tsenecal on May 23, 2019, 04:24:45 pm
it appears the electric motor and gearbox are in the fin, and the diesel engine stays where it was when the azipods were used...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EoTYq5Br_s
some fins seem to have position keeping thrusters in the fin, others have the thrusters in the hull.

Nice little infomovie that. One thing I picked up from working / living with the engineers on boats (offshore vessels anyway) was if you have a shave or cut your hair, save the engineers some hassle and put the clippings down the bog not the sink. Actually, it's something I do at home often now also.

Interesting, bit different process from other forums, SMF ones included. Can't seem to follow what you said. When I copy the embeded text it just shows as some form of a little square with a jagged line, no option to add, edit or remove surrounding captions.

You can't - the embed video html is trapped/filtered - it's a setting in the forum setup - Martin has it enabled on his super "admin" user profile only!!
1. Embed code from Utube ( as above ) 2. Add text as required 3. Post 4. Report to Moderator - "Needs HTML" 5. I'll add the HTML Tags.
I'm not envision 'loads of requests' so I can fix manually as required.

Yes I did - So current setup determines that you have to "create" the post as "admin" for the full html tags to be stored - editing an existing post in not enough.
From memory the reason for NOT allowing full html tags is that users could post script that it exposes vulnerabilities in the browser which can be exploited through Javascript
I wonder if it's possible to add "Custom BBcode" - this would then allow people to use the embed video <iframe> safely...

Unfortunately the only possible way of reducing weight anywhere near enough would be to completely evacuate the tank. It would however likely implode before removing all of the air. Methane may have a lower density (not vapour pressure) than air but the weight of the tank will bring the total density to much more than air. Jim

Changes to emails you receive for new video uploads from your subscriptions
Hi Everyone,
Heads up: If you’re opted in to get emails about new uploads, live streams, and premieres from channels you’re subscribed to, these emails are going away on August 13th, 2020. You’ll still get notified on mobile via the YouTube app, or on desktop via your Chrome browser if you’ve turned these notifications on. If you haven’t turned these on yet, you can do so in notification Settings.
Why? Less than 0.1% of these emails are opened, and people have told us that these emails contribute to inbox overload – we hope this change helps you more easily spot and pay attention to the important emails YouTube sends about your account, mandatory service announcements, etc. as no other types of emails are going away.
Creators: We didn't see any impact to watch time when we experimented with turning off these emails. In fact, our tests showed that when we don't send these emails, more people engage with mobile push notifications and their Subscriptions feed.

Fair play to the guy and LOVE IT but just hope it's not as the link says he went out driving round to collect these things during lock-down or restricted travel!!! Unless of course, had the ubiquitous Dominic Cummings bumper stcker then of course it was all all OK compared to the rest of us suppsedley doing our bit and not going anywhere as per gov instructions to keep others safe.
Quote
"During the lockdown, people were clearly having some sort of clear-out of their garages and gardens, because within the space of six weeks, another three [Tuggys] appeared on eBay, and I just couldn't help myself," Bradley recalled. "I drove around the entire country, thousands of miles, buying every last single one of them, and entering into bidding wars with local families, and leaving innocent sellers entirely confused as to why some maniac would travel 300 miles for an old plastic kids sandpit."
...possibly if we believe the timeline in the article they were wondering why some absolute moron was travelling to them to collect the parts.

In light of Martins post above about big scale does anyone remember the USA classic superyacht, must have been 10-12' long in a build in the modelling magazines? Think it might have been "Marine Modelling" perhaps 1992-1993/4 ish? I found it on-line a few moths ago but lost the link. Nothing special about it in terms of construction apart from the huge size and very well detail perfected inside and out. It was very impressive. It also had the regular boat bilge pumps and chrome 24v air horns inside if I recall. I can picture the view of the inside. I think the owner died a good few years ago ago now -sure he was US based?

Been following those two "nutters" for several years, and they are going all in and nice work they do, BTW if one tries to do a MOT on that ""illigitimate"" in Denmark, wow one would be in trouble.
Several years on, they've got to episode 34 where all of the bits they made have been taken off, and they've coloured it in!! I'm sure that there is plenty more to do before they aim it at an old oak tree.

Maybe pigeon fanciers baskets either going to a start point on the south side of the river, or empties post release heading for, possibly, Waterloo station. A common sight on lots of railway stations was a collection of baskets going "coo" on their way to a common start point.

Love the rescue boat. And the last thing said was so true, no matter if rescue or not , you still had to shoot it down or try and sink it. the germans and the allied forces used red cross type stuff to do the spying and to also put troops on the ground or in the water etc..
There was a story i read many years ago about a seaplane in the 1940's that was used to rescue some men off a submarine. But what they actually done was to take off 12 casualties and put in a fresh crew of 12, plus more orders, this was done under the disguise as a rescue mission. and yes it was British sub and plane so , the germans would of been well within their rights to shoot that plane down. WAR is WAR.

Have you ever noticed that videos about liners, & TV programmes about cruises always concentrate on the most expensive cabins which few of us will ever book?

OK this is the problem - I use Firefox and to get the formating to work I have to press the red "A" button. If I then do anything llike "edit" then it deletes the box. In this case I have put it back manually. It seems to be a Firefix problem.

Are cheap PVA wood glues any good ? Destructive testing
Title: Re: YouTube & other Videos.....!
Post by: malcolmfrary on July 27, 2021, 09:23:26 pm
Leaves you wondering if, although all of the test pieces came from the same plank, there was a variation in the strength of the wood along its length that was a determining factor. Or maybe some of the glues had the ability to soak in better than others. Or were there differences in the test pieces ability to absorb? But a week of being clamped? Not many modellers would do that.
Title: Re: YouTube & other Videos.....!
Post by: derekwarner on July 28, 2021, 02:06:49 am
A rather subjective presentation, however unfortunately, does not ask some important questions for model boat builders
1. are all PVA base glue fluids the same? 2. if all PVA base fluid glue is the same, why do some manufacturers offer varying Levels of Water Resistance, then others not quote these values ....[in the USA, misleadingly called Water Proof] 3. if PVA base fluid glue is marketed with a shelf life, or use by date, is a 2000ml bottle more costs effective than a 250ml container 4. do furniture manufacturers use bulk 'No-Name' PVA glue?, or bulk 'Trade Named' PVA glue
With my dear old Dads woodworking fun in retirement, he used a PVA glue from a 375ml glass beer bottle he "bartered for" with another retired Bloke who had a 20 litre drum of PVA glue ...this Chap worked for a well known Australian Chemical Manufacturer before he retired, and reckoned all PVA glues were the same & didn't have a shelf life {-)

Title: Re: YouTube & other Videos.....!
Post by: roycv on July 28, 2021, 07:48:45 am
Hi all, I watched the PVA video, I have some queries on the leverage there effectively was on the glue joints but the key point was the clamping while drying. A few years ago I had a long joint to make (20 odd inches) and some of it I clamped and some due to access I used strong spring clips.
To my chagrin a while later I realised I had made a mistake and needed to cut the glued wood off and start again it was a left / right handed problem. This was about 2 or 3 days later. The difficult to get at parts which I used clips on were easily sliced through as the glue had formed a fine crystaline structure and although firmly in place the wood was not quite touching. When I got to the clamped parts then the wood failed before the glue did, the joint was as one with a wood to wood bond. I never bought any more spring clamps after that, I only use pressure clamps and screw clamps. Regards Roy

I was on the 4 to 8 watch on Aureol, heading south to Lagos. We saw a flashing light sending SOS. Went on standby and as daybreak came saw this. They were a load of hippies, they lowered a boat and rowed across to us and one guy came aboard and told us the story. Sparky made contact with the fishing vessel nearby and when she arrived we continued on passage. Many years later on our honeymoon voyage and in Frisco I saw her steam past. We went to the museum and I told them the story. They knew about us and we can get a free trip whenever. Our schedule didn’t permit at the time and we’ve never been back since. Just got the photos somewhere. A bit of artistic license in the video.

This was Aureol, possibly the “cruise ship” mentioned in the video.
Yes saw that a few weeks back, general consensus from what I read is they need to learn how to drive a bit better.. Bollards are close , But !! ( Only stating what I read)

Post by: Colin Bishop on December 13, 2021, 09:56:43 pm
Seems like the bollards were moved without notice and people who were used to the previous spacing got caught out. Those people could have been significantly injured.
There have been some very stupid road calming measures around here which have caused substantial damage to vehicles without sufficient warning.

In my patch, over the last year, some planner arranged for a pedestrian crossing across a road, but put a very wide island in the middle, leaving a way each side just wide enough for a careful bus driver. It is a bus route, and, when the prom is closed for an event, one of the main roads in and out. In the link, interesting to see the police van come to grief. Whatever the aspirations of the planner, he should still remember that utilities have a legitimate reason for going that way. I'm fairly sure that in this day and age, that it is possible to sense the width of a vehicle without slicing chunks off it and book it via any of the many CCTV cameras around.

I was down in Kent a few years ago and had to negotiate a section of narrowed road similar to above but using concrete bollards. Whilst I consider myself an experienced driver with good spacial awareness ( but obviously not as good as one poster!) I was a bit nervous on the approach and going through the bollards as they are low and below the line of the passenger window. As I was driving my wife's Mini it was Ok but I wouldn't have fancied going through in my Audi A6 that I had then or indeed my current Volvo.
Crazy idea where a slight misjudgement would seriously damage your car and I could imagine some drivers going through faster than they'd like because of other selfish, impatient drivers being up their exhaust pipe and/or being on their horn.
Nevermind utility vehicles, can fire engines etc. get through?

Given recent history on personal circumstances I want to know how BBC published that footage from personal CCTV footage in compliance with the rules of the use of personal CCTV cameras in the first place. Also, I don't like how the BBC published the footage, when it's clear to see all the cars hit something quite conveniently out of view every time. I don't doubt there is a problem -but there are many things wrong with that article.
Mon deu! It's allright sating "local" people will take time to adjust but in general? That is basically the same as the South Gyle Interchange near Edinburgh except the overpass / underpass is replaced with same level road and traffic lights. Difference being it looks like you have to be aware to cross lanes and go left to turn right. That said it is a DELIGHT so me some sensible roundabout road markings. In Scotland the councils replaced almost all arrows on roundabouts over the years, regardless of direction to simply read "straight-on" regardless of direction.
Another example is at South Queensferry at the south end if the Queen Elizabeth Bridge. Pretty much all Traffic routes are marked as "straight on", its got traffic lights all over it (somewhat defeating the point of a roundabout) but when you come to the traffic light for your delayed exit at each exit it has the "no left turn" symbol each time on the traffic light beacon -so technically it's impossible to exit the roundabout once you enter it!!!!!

Another video you might be interested in if you have not seen it before...
Inchindown tanks, a few miles away from me. The old WW2 navy bomb-proof fuel storage buried into the hillside. Empty of course now but some folk get the chance to go in and apparently it has the longest recorded echo in the world!

...I wouldn't mind going in as I've done enough tank inspections before and squeezed through manholes and up and down ladders between stiffeners and openings thank you, but squeezing through that entrance pipe -b****r that.
There are a good few videos of this on the 'tinternet and youtube by the way if you've not heard of it before.

I did a fire risk assesment for a workshop I used to work in. There was a concrete fence separating us from a big oil storage yard and big tanks. I did an induction with the depot over the fence -previous owner we can't name hadn't maintained the tanks for years so they were empty and more likey to fall over than expode but there was other major storage on-site. However, on asking abut the depot practice: No responsibility to any other businesses -I must have been the only person who showed interest in the last decade. SFPS weren't much inerested these days so if a major event hapened on-site it was up to you to know what to do, you're essentially on your own but if their site wen't up you probably wouldn't know too much about it being that close to it -you'd be a casualty. I presumed the concrete fence was some form of blast wall but it was just an upgrade to an old chain link fence for security -nothing more.

Have seen videos of it being used to remove rust from steel, even quite heavily corroded metal is taken back to bare metal in a short time. It has the advantage that it can be used on quite complex shapes which would be tricky to remove corrosion by other means.

'There was an engine room fire alarm.....found a bit of arcing & sparking on one of her propulsion motors ...shut down the motor & the fire alarm stopped'
From the E/R hull side structure, removal of the motor by cut & shut was a planned element of the vessels design
Catching the arcing so early, then with the shutdown may have well have saved the motor from a complete rewind
Based upon all of this, I think open heart surgery is the best line :P

Very interesting Martin. The Strathnaver was one of five so-called Strath Sisters, operated by P&O, the others being Strathmore, Strathallan, Stratheden, and Strathaird. I've always had an interest in these ships because my parents cruised to Fiji for their honeymoon aboard Strathaird, in April 1936. When I was old enough to take an interest in such things, my father used to point them out to me when they came in to Sydney after the war.
Below is a photo of the Strathaird after her refit, she originally had three funnels.

Hi Derek, I’ve been retired for 10 years now so don’t know the definitive answer. I would imagine now you’d have to satisfy a computer that everything was checked. I’ve worked for Smits, Svitzer and a few other companies, it’s something you just get to be fluent with. On harbour tugs there’s only 3 guys on board. Lots of interlocks and automation.

Not anything to do with marine matters but I found this video of how the tail turret on the Avro Lancaster works to be quite fascinating. Many of us are familiar with the lonely position of 'tail end Charlie' and when you make a plastic model you can frequently twiddle the turret from side to side.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi5Cf1ntqOI
The actual engineering of the turret is mindblowingly complex however and just eclipses anything we do in our models.

A handmade Japanese iron kettle can cost over $300. For centuries, artisans have made kettles by pouring molten iron into molds and hammering them out once they’ve cooled. These kettles often have beautiful designs but they’re only used for boiling water. You can buy a mass produced stovetop kettle for $20, so what makes these kettles unique? And why are they so expensive?

Junk Rig Association [/size]This is a video about sailing junks in California, the mostly Chinese people who sailed in them, the world they inhabited and about the replica junk built under the leadership of John Muir. The Shrimp Fisheries of Bay Area, squid fishing in Monterrey, Abalone in the Channel Islands, the Sand Diego area and Mexico. Single masted junks and Schooner junks. Although built to the Chinese style, these junks were products of Chinese Americans building in the USA, for the fisheries of the California area. Strange that later visits to the US by junks seemed so exotic, when these craft had been in California for so long. The story of these junks is a small part of the social history of the Chinese in America. A case of forgotten history perhaps.[/color] [/size]Our story includes some material from newspapers of the day, but also the Hollywood film, Blood Alley, and some references to novelist Jack London.[/color]

[/size]UNESCO [/color] [/size]Description: Takes note that China has nominated the watertight-bulkhead technology of Chinese junks for inscription on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, described as follows:[/color] [/size]Developed in South China's Fujian Province, the watertight-bulkhead technology of Chinese junks permits the construction of ocean-going vessels with watertight compartments. If one or two cabins are accidentally damaged in the course of navigation, seawater will not flood the other cabins and the vessel will remain afloat. The junks are made mainly of camphor, pine and fir timber, and assembled through use of traditional carpenters' tools. They are built by applying the key technologies of rabbet-jointing planks together and caulking the seams between the planks with ramie, lime and tung oil. The construction is directed by a master craftsman who oversees a large number of craftsmen, working in close coordination. Local communities participate by holding solemn ceremonies to pray for peace and safety during construction and before the launch of the completed vessel. The experience and working methods of watertight-bulkhead technology are transmitted orally from master to apprentices. However, the need for Chinese junks has decreased sharply as wooden vessels are replaced by steel-hulled ships, and today only three masters can claim full command of this technology. Associated building costs have also increased owing to a shortage in raw materials. As a result, transmission of this heritage is decreasing and transmitters are forced to seek alternative employment.[/color]

How elegant the ship looks compared with the huge Carnival cruise ship in the background yet the QM is probably of a similar displacement to the Carnival vessel with her deep draught.
Mrs B and I spent a night aboard in 2001 and I was in heaven! She had to literally drag me off the next morning for our drive down to San Diego. During our stay there, 9/11 occurred which resulted in driving to Las Vegas as air travel was halted. A very unexpected end to our holiday.

We coppered our steel ones then hand scoured soft brush and powdered.Then Dull nickelled them then back to the polishing shop before coming back to be chromed. The polishers were on piecework woe betide should you scratch or weld one to the side of the tank by shorting it. Surprised to see the silly man with bare arms.

I was in Portsmouth Dockyard the other day and Victory is almost entirely built over on the western side for ongoing repairs. You can walk around inside the scaffolding (hard hats provided!).

It originated as friendly competition with many original designs but the expensive German 'Kits' appeared and heralded its demise.

I think every Club has that type of brigade in them - whereas money is no object - and you have to do it right brigade - we have one ours. When I ran the Bluebird on the lake and the thing he came out with was 'My boat is faster than yours - but where did you get that satellite GPS speed meter from? cos I want one' %% %% %%
Going back to the lad in the video, I follow him on YouTube. He seems to have an awful lot of money, and he races the real monster trucks. He also built one to race. He says he is moving to the Isle of Man to live; not sure of his reason for that, but, getting back to what he has done - I know he has demolished a couple of very expensive helicopters and just laughed it off.
His latest project is the land speed record for an R.C. Car. Some of the equipment, batteries, speed controllers etc., cost an arm and a leg.
I think he is a canny lad and he does have some valid points in his video.

Title: Re: YouTube & other Videos.....!

That's one of the best films I have seen on the subject. I was in the RAF starting in 1957 for 4 years and trained eventually as an Air radar fitter. Nearby was a training centre RAF Cherhill where there were 4 or 5 Lancasters but with the wings sawn off. The radar gear we were training on was installed in the airframes and they were not easy to clamber into or out of even on the ground as mentioned.
When I was posted to Germany I worked on Canberra bombers and these had the same bombing equipment as the Lancasters had in 1944 as many of the radar boxes in the Canberras were marked 'Tropicalised 1944'. I had to learn Gee3 and Gee-H from the manuals, the bombing radar had a lot of similarities to Gee 3 (navigation). As technology 80 years ago was not what it is now the method of bombing needed a timing clock to keep it accurate. The total distance of the outward journey was halved and you did this following the Gee 3 transmitters with your radar clocking the time. At the halfway point you ran the clock back to zero and this should give your distance but drift and differing wind speeds and direction were still a problem
The time was regulated using a very large tuning fork which worked at a constant 25 cycles per second. When halfway came it counted back on the number of cycles and then you pressed the hand held switch for releasing the bombs. There was a bomb aimers position flat on his tummy looking out and down to guide the aircraft. The tuning fork did not always start vibrating and the pilot would kick the box to set it off. There were many boxes with radar in, all black except one, which was bright aluminium as the paint had been kicked away! Gee 3 navigation for your area would use 3 transmitter stations and the transmissions produced parabalas printed on the ground map. The various coloured knobs on Gee 3 would be wound round until you got a signal which was the intersection of 2 but hopefully 3 transmitters. The 'Cocked Hat' which a navigator at sea would make when taking bearings on different landmarks or radio signals. You used this to plot the aircraft progress during flight.
The main benefit was you were receiving and not transmitting any RF. Pilots were told to switch off their IFF (Identification, Friend or Foe) transmitters when going out as they could be seen very clearly on the German radar. The German radar was the most advanced until the USA was given the high power technology by the Brits early on and of course the other technology of the proximity fuse for gun shells. The UK did not have the time or man power to develop them. TV was already getting big in the USA and some circuits already designed for TV's were used for the radar.
With the American meld of Radar and Anti aircraft guns the guns became incredibly accurate. V1's flew at 3500 -4000 feet altitude at 350 mph, So they could really get a good beed on them as they flew straight and steady.
When we were besieged by the V1 (missile) in June 1944, the radar assisted guns on the south coast took down many of them before they crossed the coast and on one day destroyed 93 % thus saving many lives.
The Chain Home Radar we had at the start of the war was a dead end for radar development with I think 29 stations all around the eastern seabord. In 1943 a very large radar set up ( I seem to remember 30 tons in total) was installed from the USA which did all of the Chain Home work, but it was still left in use.
I had great respect for those technicians and aircrew who had trained there at RAF Yatesbury barely a dozen years previously.

Wonder how it is now chemically synthetically produced?

I'd try to suppress laughter and jog on past the booth. A selection of glue lined 3:1 heatshrink is a better investment, I'd say.
If you have 2:1 ratio plain heatshrink then kill spare time with added hot glue chips or shavings into your experiments.
Making reliable butt splice joints and useless substandard parts is a subject in itself.

I have a pack of various sizes of solder seal wire connectors that do a much simpler version of this. Put the bared wire ends into the connector then add heat. The solder section melts and joins the wire and the rest shrinks onto the insulation. There is a glue section at each end that melts onto the wire sealing it. Jim

This is the best introduction to an 18th century sailing ship I have seen. It is still a bit light on the details of the sails and masts and yards, but other than that, very detailed.

Quite an interesting hull design, loks like a longship hull although carvel planked instead of clinker. Some of the others had a more symetrical engine fit, one of them looked to have 2 engines each side. A simple way to convert a sailing boat without having to mount a shaft through the hull. Interesting use of a steering oar instead of a rudder, mounted of course on the steerboard side. Wondering if those horizontal spars are to allow the mounting of a junk type sail. Jim

Just spotted this. Very clever, although I guess all the running gear didn't come from the microwave. Anyone recognise his little spot welder, or is it a home brewed device? Looks very handy for small scale fabrication.

Greg
Logically, his spot welder is one of the many projects that reverse engineer a microwave oven's transformer. From the sparks, I would say the energy per weld is much higher than the ideal for welding battery packs. If anyone considers making battery packs I would recommend a pen. https://www.google.com/search?&q=9+gear+spot+welder&tbm=vid (https://www.google.com/search?&q=9+gear+spot+welder&tbm=vid)

Last Ever Firing of H.M.A.S Parramatta 4.5 Gun Turret. Australian Leander. Inside the turret.
Used on every RN class of Destroyer and Frigate from the 50s to the 80s (With one exception) Virtually the same as ww2.
I used to work in one of these. (Not Australian though)
It's certainly very loud and hard work. I can still smell it!
They are a good crew, it takes a lot of practice. When you did the gunnery school there was a practice turret that used inert rounds and consisted of just the breech mechanism. Lots of opportunity for damaged hands. Down in the handling room there's another 4 guys transferring the shells and charges from the 4 magazine hoists that are fixed in place to the 4 turret hoists that move with the turret of course. Below them are four guys in the magazine transferring shells and charges to the hoists from the stowage. Behind and above the guns is the 'captain of the turret' who can take manual control if there is a power failure from the director.
Even more fun in any kind of swell when the ship is rolling and the guns are stabilised and moving relative to the rest of the turret.
