Trolley, Street Car - Old Time Photo of the week

From days gone by.  An old time trolley also known as a street car.   This picture is from New York City.  One of the signs on the trolley to the left of the conductor, says, Brooklyn Bridge.  At one time this was the height of technology and transportation.  Now just a relic of the past.

  Sometimes you have to ask if we have actually moved forward or backwards?  It's an interesting question.  You are free to grab a copy of this picture for your own files.  No copyrights are on this so there are no copyright violations to worry about.  Just right click and Save As.  Put where you can remember where it is on your system.

New Full Size V8 Car Gets 25-30 MPG

If you look back through history, you can't help but ask, what happened to technology?  Full size V8 engine cars or SUV's get a mere 8 to 21 miles per gallon of gas at their best.  And that is with all of the advanced technology features and computers added into modern vehicles.  Yet when we turn back the clock to the early 1940's, we see this advertising for a big, heavy steel car advertising 25 to 30 miles per gallon.  No advanced computers, no advanced technologies, just plain simple good old fashioned gas engine.

  Is anyone wondering about the state of education these days?  This is the kind of information that everyone should be looking at and asking questions about yet no one hears anything at all about this kind of stuff.  No one is looking through history and asking questions.  Why do we have so much unemployment when there is so much work to be done?

Yesterday we showed how electric and hybrid cars were the predominate vehicles being produced over 100 years ago.  We told you we were working on producing a number of books supporting that information.  Today we are presenting here one of the first books on that subject.  The Tom Swift story is near 100 years old now.  You can read the story either here or on our SlideShare site.  It's very enjoyable.  We have more coming.
