DSC00019 Børsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The Stock Exchange) is a building on the island Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen built by Christian IV in 1619-1640.
The building was designed by Hans van Steenwinckel in the style of the Dutch renaissance architecture and is famous among tourists for its 'dragonspire'. The spire from 1625 is shaped as the tails of four dragons twined together.
The tower measures 56 meters. The building was restored by Nicolai Eigtved in 1745 and internally renovated in 1855. It housed the Danish stock-market until 1974."

she was built at Harwich 1927 and sailed to London in ballast where Maudsley and Sons installed the engines and boiler and paddle wheelsa in 1828

Maudsley and standard screw threads: "the importance of the uniformity of screws. Some may call it an improvement, but it might almost be called a revolution in mechanical engineering, which Mr. Maudsley introduced. Before his time no system had been followed in proportioning the number of threads of screws to their diameter. Every bolt and nut was thus a specialty in itself, and neither possessed nor admitted of any community with its neighbors. To such an extent had this practice been carried that all bolts and their corresponding nuts had to be specially marked, as belonging to each other. Any intermixture that occurred between them lead to endless trouble and expense, as well as inefficiency and confusion, especially when parts of complex machines had to be taken to pieces for repairs."

some of his machines are in the Science Museum in London but few documents have survived the closure of the works in about 1880

ChromaTune-3D™ Anaglyph Demo on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

ChromaTune-3D™ Anaglyph Demo on Flickr - Photo Sharing!: "This image demonstrates the ChromaTune-3D™ Anaglyph method. It is designed to render a color anaglyph image with little or no ghosting/retinal rivalry. The left frame shows heavily saturated colors that typically do not render well in a color anaglyph, due to their highly complementary nature. This causes severe retinal rivalry when viewed with standard Red/Cyan anaglyph glasses. (What one eye sees as bright, the other eye sees as dark.) The right frame shows how such extreme colors may be adjusted, or 'tuned', to compensate for this. The ChromaTune-3D™ method applies specially calculated additive filtration to balance object registration in the left and right chips to reduce retinal rivalry, and to mask color crosstalk commonly found in the Red lens to reduce ghosting. Without the glasses, the image appears slightly faded and desaturated. With the glasses, the image appears as a clear, balanced, color 3D picture. Trademark Notice: ChromaTune-3D is a trademark of ByteMyzer Softwerx."
