Mr. Trelawny

The reduction gears and steam turbines under construction at the General Electric Plant, circa March 1942.

Based on the date and the fact USS Iowa (BB-61) and USS Missouri (BB-63) were the only Iowa Class Battleships to receive General Electric gears and turbines, these are most likely for USS Missouri.

There are four sets of double reduction cross-compound geared turbines, with each turbine set driving a single shaft. “They offered almost 10-1 reduction to allow the turbines to run at much higher and more efficient rpm. These are some of the most critical components of the powerplant and one of the things which allowed long ranges in US battleships.“

A man is shown deburring the edges of teeth with a file.

Note that they are double helix which eliminates axial thrust while providing the quieter running and increased strength of helically cut gears.

Ah, fine literature.

Pt.2

when morning bad but warsaw trams smile devilishly at you

rdr2 tarot deck: swords done! more info:

- swords were about chapter 1-2. since i made minor arcana generally about what arthur/player goes through and which characters he meets, this is like a showcase for it. and all ace cards will act like intros to the chapters.

- i chose all characters according to the cards meanings but i wanted to show how arthur evolves with them as well, so as we finish chapter 2, swords are also ending with thomas downes :')

- next suit will be cups, chapter 3, water. all green and coral like rhodes and the characters we meet in it!

first part (major arcana) here

I hope charthur fans will enjoy this one❤️

About

that's it that's my about because i am kinda sorta trying to move here fully so um if someone decides to follow. yeah

they/them, 26, Al/Alex, bi nb if that even matters

horse guy (love horses. taking lessons in both english and western riding styles as for now) 

rdr2 guy (seriously this game consumed my mind like a brainworm and refuses to leave) 

music guy (i love music. metalhead (black/doom/sludge/post/core/prog mostly but i am Open to any genre from kpop to thrash to the latest sabrina carpenter's single). i generally just fw music on a whole another level y’all won’t understand (and if you do i’m glad to discuss). my last fm is here

i don’t produce much except for my own ramblings and maybe screenshots and stupid jokes but you Might encounter the rarest ever species of writing and art here. (no promises they’re Rare and Shy and Nocturnal) 

proship through and through, pro fiction, pro anything that stays as fiction and doesn’t actually hurt anyone irl (no brother //g/n you getting triggered and failing to block the triggering content to not see it ever again doesn’t count as hurting) 

i am friendly and open for conversation so if you ever wanna shoot me a dm or an ask go ahead 

will be updated when i come up with my Own Personal Tags and shit idk.

think im gonna record my horsemanship achievements here as well because why the hell not

today i was super late to the lesson, like 30 minutes late (not my fault), but performed really well on a horse i didn't know personally yet (i told the trainer that i love him already, he's just so calm and steady and she was like LMAO it might be only you who thinks like that, maybe yout vibes just match. (i personally believe that it's just two blonde queens (gender neutral) maximising their joint slay cause)

top points are: i am absolutely calm when on horseback, that's another problem i'm probably gonna talk about later, but i had my fear issues

i FINALLY use only my calves. not hips not knees not my fucking back to push him forward, i have a heavy leg so my calves are sore rn but i'll work on that (western tomorrow, yay)

idk what happened but my ass didn't bounce on gallop, maybe i finally learnt how to roll my shoulders back and keep my back steady I HONESTLY HAVE NO IDEA, i'll see what happens next lol

the idea i get from all this is that learning two styles at the same time fucking slays, even if i'm trying to stop an english-ridden horse by pushing my legs forward lol

also i'm fucking cool that's also important

NOT EVERY REMINDER YOU GET IS GOING TO BE "GENTLE"

idk comic about how I need to learn to take it easier on myself

charles and albert is an interaction I would love to see... 1) charles would be so down with albert's mission and 2) albert heaping praise about arthur's involvement to someone arthur knows would be funny. especially if he is there to hear it lol
