Armour and Company, founded in Chicago in 1867, had this clever ad for it's byproduct laundry detergent

Armour and Company was a meatpacking firm that, used every last part of the animals to max out profits and reduce it's disposal bills. 

Among its animal byproducts were glue, oil, fertilizer, hairbrushes, buttons, oleomargarine, pharmaceuticals and, shown here, White Flyer Laundry Soap.

The airplane is a Bleriot XI, and had a particularly cool landing suspension 

Where would the military be without a Jeep to get them there?

How do you go from this to that? Upside down to right side up? Lots of careful planning and big construction equipment

the brakes were way too touchy, and grabbed just a little too much!

two World War One DH9 bombers were found in an elephant stable in India, they are nearly finished being restored

A rare First World War bomber was discovered rotting in the elephant stable of a maharajah's palace, a de Havilland DH9 two-seat biplane is the only one in Britain and one of only six in the world.

Its chance discovery was made by a British backpacker, a keen aircraft enthusiast, who photographed a cannibalised DH9 in a new museum at the Palace of Bikaner in Rajasthan in 1995. He passed the word to an airplane restorer, Guy Black, who visited the palace in India 3 years later. But the aircraft had been moved to the palace's former elephant stables.

There, among piles of elephant saddles, was the airframe of the DH9, engineless, its timbers partly eaten by termites and much of its fabric covering missing.

Along one wall, were a dozen DH9 wings. Several tailfins were nearby.


He said: "I could not believe my eyes. The DH9 are as rare's as hen's teeth now and there wasn't a single one in a collection in Britain."

In the stables were the remains of three DH9s that been given by Britain to the Maharajah of Bikaner in the early 1920s to help him establish an air force under the post-war Imperial Gift Scheme.

Mr Black bought two of the rotting hulks. D5649, the plane he restored and sold to the Imperial War Museum for nearly £1 million was unveiled at Duxford, Cambridgeshire, yesterday. The Imperial War Museum, by luck, had a DH9 engine to instal in the restored plane.

Just one little problem with thinking Nascar is an American racing sport. Well, how can it be American when the engine blocks are all cast in England? Why don't they use engines made in the USA? Seriously, where is the MADE IN USA sticker?

Don't you think the cars and tires and engines should be American? Isn't that what Nascar was?

 Grainger and Worrall is an engineering and machining company in Telford Shropshire, England. It's near the center of England, jut west of Birmingham

They made all the engine blocks used by "Chevys and Fords" in the 2015 Daytona 500

They also make the engines for the Acura NSX, and the Aston Martin DB11, and they did the F1 engines in 2014, and the 2015 NHRA Pro-stock engines. They also make parts for the Veyron and the Mulsanne, and they make brand new heads for the Rolls Royce Merlin V12 airplane engine used in Spitfires, Mustangs, Hurricanes and the Lancaster bomber.

FWIW, Nascar doesn't claim to be American, or Made in the USA http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/about-nascar.html I looked, and it doesn't.
