The Saddle Tree is the foundation of the saddle and will be either of 2 types - rigid or spring. A spring tree is usually used in English saddles, and a rigid tree in Western saddles. For spring trees the shape is created from a base constructed from thin plywood, layered over with fibreglass for strength. Steel strips placed beneath the saddle from front to back give the spring. A rigid tree is made from either wood wrapped with leather, or pressure molded fibreglass and wood shavings. Additional strength is provided by steel plates on the underside of the saddle. Another type of saddle is the Treeless Saddle in which the support is provided by a fibreglass pommel and cantle instead of a tree. The...
The History of the 1943 Steel Cent
909 to 1942, the Lincoln Cent was composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. That all changed in 1943, as for the first and only time, a coin was made out of steel, which was quite a contradiction from gold, silver, copper or bronze. Even before the United States entered the war, there were inklings that the cent, as well as the nickel were in trouble. The nickel was made out of 75% copper. Copper was in huge demand due to its use by defense contractors in the manufacturing process of various supplies and equipment needed in case of the US going to war. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the rumors only grew and in January 1942, The Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine reported that Treasury officials were...
Morbier Clocks
The Morbier clock comes from the village of Morbier, the word itself meaning 'small market town,' in the eastern central French province of Franche-Comte, bordering on Switzerland. It's located about 30 miles north-northwest of Geneva in the Jura mountains. Not only are clocks its only claim to fame. Cheese, too, is another product that brings a lot of revenue to the little town, since from all I've read, it's an excellent product. The clockmaking business began in the middle of the 18th. century, partly to keep people occupied during the long winter months. The denizens of Morbier would make the parts, which would then be bought by finishers who would assemble them. Since the village was in the...

The News from Newport News
As soon as you enter Hampton Roads, the city begins to reveal itself. It's sprawling, muscular and—from the water, at least—somewhat forbidding: a commercial fishing basin, a giant shipyard, an open-air coal pier, a fleet of reserve ships aging on the waterfront. Somewhere—ahh, there—between gray behemoths, are a few downtown office buildings, a narrow park and the barely visible top of a victory arch. But don't be put off. Newport News does have accessible marinas, a few lovely spots for dropping anchor, inviting beaches, a vibrant fishing industry, a gorgeous performing arts center and one of the world's finest maritime museums. And it's all reachable by water, with a little extra effort...

How the Use of Perforated Plate Has Expanded...
Perforated plate is an industrial product with numerous practical uses. Its production is simple and complex at the same time, simply to say you punch holes in a raw metal plate just doesn't do it justice.

This idea of punching or perforating the plate revolutionized the production of perforated metal products. Perforated...
The Charm Of French Garden Furniture
The French garden furniture of today draws from a rich and diverse history that resulted in many different styles. From 1715 onward, as the formal French gardens began to yield to the free design of landscaped gardens, people began to enjoy new forms of social leisure at more intimate and beautifully organized "Rococo" garden-parks, distinguished by its naturalistic lattice and leaf pattern at the back with a honeycomb pattern pierced seat that was usually produced in cast iron. The French garden furniture of this time was created from the dreamy park scenes from French painters Antoine Watteau and François Boucher.

Rural Mail Boxes
Rural mail boxes comparatively require severe protection as they are installed outdoors and are prone to burglary and wreckage. Since rural mail boxes are mounted on the roadsides and not on the house walls or posts, they often require more care than residential mail boxes. A rural mail box has to be located on a rural mail route approved by the concerned postmaster and only on the right side of the road. It should not hinder other nearby boxes. Therefore to reinforce extra strength and extreme sturdiness, it is either made of an electro galvanized steel or a non-corrosive aluminum body. To ensure security, complete mail-swing packages are available that contains an adjustable mail swing with...

Mailboxes in rural areas are usually mounted along the road, but not on the posts or house walls. As a result, these mailboxes will usually require a lot more attention than residential mailbox. Therefore, it is crucial that the locking rural mailboxes are situated on the mail route that is approved by the postmaster concerned. To add to this, the owner should ensure that the mailboxes are situated on the right side of the road...
Roller Shutters - Essential Security For All...
With businesses facing a truly parlous economic climate, it is more tempting than ever to cut costs. Some areas of expenditure, though, should never be reduced: premises security is a key example. It is an unfortunate fact that recession brings a rise in criminal activity, so it is arguable that at such times businesses should raise expenditure on static security rather than lower it. One of the most familiar methods of securing premises is by the use of roller shutters (also known as rolling doors and roller doors). Roller shutters are flexible doors made up of a series of strips (usually made of metal such as galvanised steel or aluminium, but possibly also made from durable, shock-resistant...
es are that your office is not as tidy as you would like it to be. People usually find that their office does not have enough shelving space. A well kept office is a much more appealing place to work. When there is not appropriate office shelving, equipment and documents start to pile up.

This can actually cost money and time. If office workers are having to search through boxes for the file they need for a certain project, this can cost the company time they cannot afford to lose. No matter what you shelving...

Tips For Buying Wooden Garden Furniture
Obviously the first place to start would be to locate the provider that can offer the most extensive range of outdoor furniture that you could choose from. As well as this though, the products they provide should be constructed from durable wood.

It would therefore be sensible to find out beforehand which types of woods are acceptable in garden furniture. Some people worry about their new garden furniture being stolen, so before purchasing any it may be prudent to look for features that may be able to safeguard against these...
When the day arrived we went along not realising that it was going to be a life changing event or rather the aftermath was. We watched the usual banter from the clowns and were mesmerised by the seemingly unbelievable things performed in front of our very eyes by a young magician. But it was the acrobats that seemed to stand out way and above anything we had previously seen. The children were enthralled by the trapeze artistes and as for the trampolinists their eyes simply seemed to stand out on stalks. Several days later all talk was still about the circus and in particular the trampolinists. It was coming up to our middle child's birthday and when asked what she would like it took us back...

Height Safety - The Number 1 Mistake When...
All too often our trainers visit work sites only to find people working at height making the same mistake again and again. Is it a minor mistake? No! It is one that would be catastrophic if the worker should fall. Some people think that the number one mistake as a worker operating without safety equipment. Not so! The number one mistake I see is where companies have incurred the cost of providing safety equipment, however through lack of the required knowledge the worker is using it incorrectly. The worker feels safe but doesn't know that if he falls his protective equipment will fail. It would be a tragedy, worse it would be unnecessary. The number 1 mistake is connector misuse by the site worker...
