Knight Industries 2000, Need some helpful advice on how to create your own replica?
Not very impressed with either the broadness nor the length of the broadway. And everyone smells of a curious mix of sulphur and antiseptic. Still nervous, as usual, but there’s a small window looking out onto a brighter future. Wish me luck.

Two machines have been installed in a London hospital with the object of testing the value of wireless waves in the treatment of disease.
An American investigator, with the assistance of a British scientist and an engineer, proposes shortly to make an attempt to set up a new stratosphere altitude record by rising to a height of some 90,000ft. Professor Piccard’s record was recently beaten by two Americans, who ascended to an altitude of eleven miles.
The world’s champion parachutist hopes to make a parachute descent from the “stratosphere balloon” when it reaches its greated altitude.
The Southern Railway propose to construct a new loopline between Folkestone and Dover. To do this they propose to bore a tunnel four miles long below Dover Hill, Folkestone, to a point near Shakespeare Cliff, Dover.
Over ninety miles of tramway track in various parts of London are soon to be superseded by up-to-date trolley buses capable of carrying a larger number of passengers than the tram. Track vehicles on open roads should have been abolished years ago.
A new television scanning device, which combines a cathode-ray tube and a multiple selenium cell has recently been designed by an American scientist. The multiple cell takes the place of the normal fluorescent screen an is “scanned” by the ray in the normal manner.
The LMS Railways “Royal Scot” has recently returned from a tour of 11,194 miles in Canada and USA. During the tour the locomotive was inspected by 3,021,601 sightseers.
A spring-operated clock has lately been placed on the market which is perfectly noiseless in operation (it cannot be heard even when placed close to the ear) due to the use of a new type of escapement. The clock can also be obtained fitted with a bell alarm.
A loud-speaker is now being made which is fitted with an electric clock. The clock replaces the usual fret and can be obtained in either sychronous (AC mains) or battery types.
A scientist at the recent meeting of the British Association stated that there was no latent power in the atom. Hence vanishes one of the dreams of scientific cranks and other fantastic characters who for years past have regaled the public with ungarnished tosh about propelling Atlantic liners and aircraft with the latent energy in an atom of this or that, and driving motor cars at incredible speeds with engines no larger than pins’ heads. The unfortunate aspect of these scientific fantasies, especially when they emanate from those who are considered “scientists”, is that school-masters pass them on to their students and so add to the list of things which must be “unlearned”. As well, they are bruited about by large headlines in daily papers, which seldom report on a simple happening without making a mistake.
The associateion named could help to remedy this state of affairs by considerably tightening up the rules of membership. The mere presentation of a thesis (which may or may not be original) should not be sufficient to enable its compiler to call himself “Doctor”.
Wireless telephony has reached a remarkable stage of efficiency, but there is still the missing link – we cannot see the artistes or the announcer in the studio. The position of wireless to-day is analogous to the film industry a few years ago. We were then satisfied with silent films, but talkie picture technique is now so perfect that silent films have ceased to attract us. With the talkies we have speech and vision synchronised, and wireless cannot be considered as perfect until television and speech are similarly synchronised. Television to-day is on the brink of great developments. Many firms are experimenting with high definition television, and it would seem that mechanical television will not provide the solution. Television will probably be brought much nearer to perfection by means of the cathode-ray oscillograph. The problem will be solved by electrical rather than mechanical means.
Anyone up for an afternoon out somewhere this afternoon?
I’m starting to feel rather Web1.0…any ideas on how to move to V2.0?
