CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – College students prepare their robot for a trial run at NASA’s Robotics Mining Competition at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. More than 35 teams from around the U.S. have designed and built remote-controlled robots for the mining competition. The competition is a NASA Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate project designed to engage and retain students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, fields by expanding opportunities for student research and design. Teams use their remote-controlled robotics to maneuver and dig in a supersized sandbox filled with a crushed material that has characteristics similar to Martian soil. The objective of the challenge is to see which team’s robot can collect and move the most regolith within a specified amount of time. For more information, visit www.nasa.gov/nasarmc.

Encylindrig fyrtakts vattenkyld förgasarmotor med slutet vevhus och glödrör av platina. Tillverkad enligt Gottlieb Daimlers förebild på licens, möjligen av direktimporterade delar.Motortypen provkördes första gången 1883, en snabbgående, lätt petroleummotor med varvtal runt 900 varv/minut. Detta ex. är avsett att drivas med fotogen och användas i en verkstad, senare för att driva en vedkap. Motorn är byggd, sammansatt, av delar som lokföraren Lars Höcken- ström, Bollnäs, köpte när Vulcan lade ner tillverkningen 1904. Förgasaren var konstruerad av Wilhelm Maybach. Den sönderdelade bränslet, fotogen, bensin eller s.k. gasolja till vätskedimma.

Conversion. Electric shaver plant. This Norton type C six-inch semi-automatic cylindrical grinder in a New England plant used to grind motor shafts for the firm's normal production of electric dry shavers. It is now grinding spring collets which are used in turning machines to hold the work being turned. Such machines are vitally needed for the war production effort. The conversion of the machine was accomplished by replacing the one-inch vitrified aluminum oxide wheel shown here with a three-inch wheel and by enlarging the feed of the cutting solution. Tolerances on this war work are only .002 inches as compared with the tolerances on the normal production of .0002 inches (see pix #D-2974). Schick Inc., Stamford, Connecticut

Conversion. Electric shaver plant. This New England whose normal product is electric dry shavers is now turning out parts for machine tools which will find their place in the war production effort. This bank of Norton grinders which formerly ground motor shafts are now grinding small parts for tools. Tolerances on the war work are only .002 inches whereas the former work demanded much closer tolerances up to .0002 inches. The conversion was accomplished by putting on new grinding wheels, by minor changes in the head and by increasing the feed of the cutting solution. Schick Inc., Stamford, Connecticut

Conversion. Electric shaver plant. This Norton type C six-inch semi-automatic cylindrical grinder in a New England plant normally turns out these motor shafts for the firm's electric shavers. It has since been converted to the grinding of spring collets that are used in machine tools being produced to aid the war production effort. The conversion was easily accomplished by replacing the one-inch vitrified aluminum oxide wheel shown here with a three-inch wheel and by enlarging the feed of grinding solution. In this operation normal tolerance is desired (see pix #D-2975). Schick Inc., Stamford, Connecticut

Conversion. Electric shaver plant. Normal peacetime work of this New England plant is the production of electric dry shavers. The worker on this Norton type C six-inch semi-automatic cylindrical grinder normally grinds the rotor shaft for the motor of the shaver using this set-up. He has since been shifted to the making of spring collets to be used in machine tools being made to further the war production effort (see pix #D-2973). Schick Inc., Stamford, Connecticut

Conversion. Electric shaver plant. Before and after! This New England plant, whose normal product is electric dry shavers, now is converting to the production of machine tool parts to speed war production. At the right the worker is drilling pressure pinholes in the heads of the shavers; at the left the worker drills center holes in the spring collets which will be used to hold the work in turning machines now being made for the war production effort.

Conversion. Electric shaver plant. This worker in a New England plant that normally produces electric dry shavers is now busy turning out spring collets for machine tools to be used in war production. On this Norton type C six-inch semi-automatic cylindrical grinder, he used to turn out rotor shafts for the motor of the shaver. To convert his machine to the larger grinding job, it was necessary only to exchange the normal one-inch vitrified aluminum oxide wheel for a three-inch wheel and to increase the feed of the cooling solution. This worker was used to working to a tolerance of .0002 inches on the motor shafts so he finds it simple to attain the comparatively rough tolerance of .002 inches required on this war work.
