Thanks to John McNamara mentioning it some weeks ago (and my not-very-reliable-memory), there's an exhibition south east of Melbourne this weekend.

Here are the details …

Health permitting, I aim to give it a go.

Here's wishing them well,

Despite having lived in Melbourne since 1972, and it may be hard to believe, but this was my very first visit to see an MSMEE exhibition.

However, I was not a complete stranger to the group. Back in the 70's, when I began building the John Stevens’ skeleton clock, I had taken the opportunity to attend a couple of their meetings. They were well worth the experience.

For this particular occasion, I chose to go on Sunday in time for the 10 am opening. It was also one of those Goldilocks mornings, which Melbourne can turn on.

Overall, there was clear evidence and according to the President’s welcoming note …

As the icons of the 19^th and 20^th century such as steam and internal combustion engines fade into history, new technologies take their place such as electromotive vehicles, 3 dimensional printing, alternative fuels and energy sources, LED lighting and ever increasing levels of automation and computerised control …

If you skip through my photo album however, you can see there is little doubt about the skill, patience, and imagination from young and not so young devotees.

The album comprises single frame SnapShots from a small number of video files. My apologies for those images with camera shake. I elected to support the camera on a monopod, rather than luging around my much heavier tripod. The monopod happens to be much lighter, is easier and quicker to adjust for height but, in this instance, didn’t fully alleviate the jerk’s jerks.

My thanks to John McNamara (just peeping over the shoulder's of two visitors), for bringing this event to my/our attention.

Regards to all,

Sam
