Re: Semi OT: History amplified

Rick In Mafikeng, I would say it was used to crush stone for building purposes (concrete). The SA Phosphate Co. was formed in 1953 to investigate the beneficiation of the mineral Pyroxenite (essentially Calcium Phosphate - abundant in the Phalaborwa area) to be used for the manufacture of

Just looking around the room, I have 22 loose-leaf notebooks filled with slide pages, and 9 140-slide carousels. I always told myself I’d do something about them when I retired… but in a year and a half nothing has happened yet. Rick > On Nov 29, 2022, at 1:38 AM, Larry Colen wrote: > >

Great set of photos, Bob! Yes, I have discontinued using film and flatbed scanners for the most part, do almost all my negative and transparency scanning using a copy camera setup now … similar to yours in some ways, but a different camera and lens mix. * It's an easy setup to master if you
