Short Break

2012-02-02T06:00:00.001Z

I wish - its cold here. I have some medical problems to sort out and need a hopefully short break. I can still be found on Facebook as I find that easier to use but will be away from here for a few weeks. Thanks for all your support. Back when I can.

museum was created on the ground floor and basement of the building to commemorate David Kirkaldy and his major contribution to Victorian engineering. It houses a machine which could test steel components to destruction. In its time it helped to investigate engineering failures such as the Tay Bridge disaster (1879) and the crashes of the Comet Airliner (1950s). It also tested the steel components for many major construction projects including the Hammersmith suspension bridge and the Sydney Harbour bridge.

Ziegfeld girl Beth Beri

2012-01-21T06:00:00.002Z

Beth Beri performed in Ziegfeld's musical Kid Boots (1923-1925).

"Dancer Beth Beri earned her reputation in Vaudeville on the Keith circuit, becoming a headliner as a solo dancer specializing in speedy numbers during the late 1910s. She played major houses in New York in the holiday season from 1920 to 1922 before installing herself in the musical “Jack and Jill” in March 1923. She earned good notices in an indifferent production, eclipsed only by the solo dancing of Ann Pennington. After her run, Ziegfeld hired her as a featured dancer in “Kid Boots” which kept her employed through 1924. A reliable worker, Ziegfeld reengaged her for “Palm Beach Girl.” Her final Broadway credit was for the 1927 musical, “Rufus Lemaire’s Affairs,” In 1930 she married Mark Hanna, just beginning his rise to fame as a talent agent. With him she went to Shanghai and spent the early 1930s in China. The marriage went sour. The final scenes of her career were spent in supper clubs." [David S. Shields]

Bud the Cross Country Dog

2012-01-20T19:00:00.001Z

Birth: 1903, USA
Death: 1913, USA

Folk Dog. In 1903, most people were walking, riding bikes or horses and traveling by horse and buggy, trains or boats. There were no developed road systems, only trails, dirt and gravel roads, no maps nor service stations or places to stay. The newly invented automobile was deemed a toy for the rich and most people had never even seen one. Dr. H. Nelson Jackson, on a bet, decided to attempt a cross country trip from San Francisco to New York City. With a newly purchased "Winston" manufactured in Cleveland, proving the "horseless carriage" could accomplish this venture. With the addition of a mechanic, the long harrowing trip commenced. Hampered along the way by lack of parts, crossing rivers using train bridges and getting lost and having to retrace their way, they reached Idaho and encountered a stray bulldog which followed the car. The pair added him to the entourage and dubbed him with the name "Bud". Dr. Nelson fitted the animal with goggles to fend off irritating dust. Along the way, people crowded around to see their first auto and especially the goggled bulldog who was making the first cross country drive famous. Newspapers reported the event as it progressed. The trip which started in May, ended in July taking 63 days. Upon Dr. Jackson's return to his home in Burlington, Vermont, Bud became a member of the family. He was often seen riding around the town with his master until his death from old age. His goggles, pictures and stories are displayed today and can be viewed at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.
