THE NUMBERS IMAGE THREAD!

We had a little slip:

bounce back !!

And as of about three hours ago, we've moved on baby:

I'm hooked!

We've finally moved on a tick at just after 11pm german time this morning! Time for some fireworks to celebrate:

You can't read the text very well on that thumbnail, but it has the number the most prominent so that's why I chose it. You'll just have to trust me that it seems to be codes for transporting pyrotechnics.

 

[levi]

I've absolutely no idea what this is; as a thumbnail I thought it was a wooden plane, and I'd have made a pun about 'plane sailing', but it seems to be made of clay or something.

Looks more like copper or anodized metal to me. Without a source, we might never know, but it doesn't look big. I'd guess it's between a nail and a thumb in size.

@levi I used tineye.com on your image and it came to a webpage that sells Profiling Inserts
a sandvik carbide profiling insert, to be exact.

Here is a video of what "profiling" is:


So now I know that there is more than software profiling.

Since we seem to be on the topic of obscure machinery, and we've had another tick forward:

I'm not sure what's causing this rate of increase. Has the last news post been posted more widely?

Edit: In case that image doesn't load, here's a nice red digger thing:

 

[Pyramancer]

Pyra's for Christmas, maybe?

[spud42]

no no no 1129 is not retractable....lol

 

[levi]

It is if you hold your top then rotate your bottom

 

[levi]

So, someone set us up the bomb!

The IBM 1130 was IBMs cheapest computing system, which could either be used as a standalone unit, or in a lot of cases as a pretty dumb terminal connected to a system/360.

 

[levi]

Just after the weekly stats were due, we got another tick forward.

It appears to be some kind of two-part epoxy used to repairing metal shafts in machinery. Very odd stuff indeed.

 

[levi]

Is it a new CPU board for the Pyra? No just another preorder number image:

 

[T.T.]

^^ that device right there could be very handy. Most analogue industrial controls use a 4-20mA control signal. That thing takes a 0-5V signal and outputs a proportional 4-20mA signal. If you ever want to hook something like an arduino to an industrial thing, that would be the quickest way to do so.

 

[Pyramancer]

Back to 1131. I guess that Belzona 1131 epoxy didn't stick. (Maybe @levi didn't mix it right...)

 

[Pyramancer]

Dropped to 1129, then stitched back up to 1130.
