I know that everyone is curious as to what an Autolite 2150 carb looks like inside, so...here ya go! :blink:
Oh drat, silly photo size limits here....hang on a sec...

carb was leaking gas badly(Is there such a think as a good gas leak?)after I rebuilt it. Why????

Here is the reason, below!!!

Carb rebuild kit had the wrong size float hanger! So, float floated too well!!!! Fascinatin' ain't it???? :o

The Autolite 2150 almost has a face. I'm allergic, but the cats look nice. Conrad, do you still have that very large lunar moth?

Yes I do Chris, very good memory!!!!!

Whoa -- your work or Ann's? Great stuff, particularly the bird footprint.

I did the footprint, Ann the lake.

I'm breaking protocol - this is a jazz photo, but it's in the same folder as the other pictures so I couldn't resist.

I love this. From the Jazz @Lincoln Center auction of a few years ago.

I'd really like to get inside Wayne's head into why performing with a great band, on tour, playing your own music, would be so dissatisfying!
Maybe the hotels and other conditions were less than favorable.

Here's one more and then I'll stop with the jazz photos, in this topic anyway.

This is Trane's sketch for a Love Supreme.

Michael, you have a great view--we are both lucky in that respect.

A bit different from glitzy Manhattan:

http://img3013.photobox.co.uk/73982222c362f0d54585fd2267c433f1ae96079d8d7e3a30a781722f0da0a7a2ec4bdf3e.jpg

Just over 30 years ago I moved to this area. 16 year old lads were going down the pit as they left school. Today this is the only headstocks surviving - and a housing company has a request in to demolish it to 'develop' the site.

The mines were wiped out in the 80s and 90s - an almost Stalinist expunging of history followed, with virtually all visible remains removed. Just the odd half a pit wheel.

Very sad - the whole shape of this community was created by 100 years of coal mining.

Bev, you have aroused our curiosity, but your images didn't come through.

They were there earlier. Now they've been replaced by these stern messages! Sinister censorship? Wrong image of Britain, perhaps?

I'm still not sure how to do this properly - tried to post some larger versions, so I suspect that caused the trouble. I've put the smaller ones up.

This is how Bentinck Colliery is commemorated...the site is now an industrial estate - modern warehouses etc (thus the strange multicoloured things behind):

Not much to show for what once looked like this:

When I came for interview here in 1977 from the 'soft south' I can recall being awestruck by these giant collieries.

I suppose a similar tale can be told in Pennsylvania and many other places in the world.
