From Ferries to Hornblower Cruises
Getting Out on San Francisco Bay: From Ferries to Hornblower Cruises Author’s Note: This article “Getting Out on San Francisco Bay: From Ferries to Hornblower Cruises ” is a stand-alone article on my website. Further parallel articles on the Bay include chapters in my two main travel guidebooks/ebooks on California. They are Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips and Northern California Travel: The Best Options. All my travel guidebooks/ebooks on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. By Lee Foster Getting out on San Francisco Bay in a boat of some kind is a concept I recommend to all visitors and locals. San Francisco Bay is such an inviting body of water, especially if your boat trip takes you across the Bay or out beyond the Golden Gate Bridge. From a boat you can see the Bridges, especially the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge, plus the skyline profile of the city of San Francisco. You can see the lovely green Marin hillsides and the profiles of the main Bay islands, such as Alcatraz and Angel Islands. The protected Bay waters are usually not too rough. Sometime you will encounter wildlife, such as sea lions and migrating birds. Occasionally, you may pass close to the immense container ships that come through the Golden Gate into the port of Oakland. Their cargo will likely come from China and Korea. The Ferry Option for San Francisco Bay The excursion boat California Hornblower ready to depart on San Francisco Bay There are many ways to get out on San Francisco Bay in a boat, and I have done most of them at one time or another. -

Low Er M Anhattan
Down Is What's Up LOWER MANHATTAN Winter 2018 THEthe FROM THE PRESIDENT { dear neighbor} LOWDOWN This is the season for resolutions. Some are harder to keep than others. So, I would like to propose one that should not only be easy to keep, but fun: Spend more time exploring Lower Manhattan! Some neighborhoods are home to incredible history. Others have renowned museums and cultural institutions. There are those that offer the finest in dining and drinking. And still others with eye-catching architecture. We have all that and more. Lower Manhattan is the oldest neighborhood in New York City, rich with history. Walking our streets, you can retrace the footsteps of historical luminaries and game changers like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Edison. When that walking around builds up an appetite, there are now tons of dining destinations to explore. From newer haunts like Federal Grille, Nobu, Augustine and Temple Court, to institutions like Delmonico’s, Harry’s and China Chalet, you won’t go hungry here. And if you just want to grab and go, you can hit places like Italian specialty shop Pisillo or the newest kid on the block, David Chang’s Fuku. If you are looking for a postprandial or happy hour hotspot, you could hang out in the taverns lining Stone Street, the award winning cocktail bar Black Tail, or Lower Manhattan’s newest subterranean bar and lounge, the Mailroom. Still not convinced to explore Lower Manhattan this year? Here’s one more KEEPING LM GREENER AND CLEANER reason: the best is yet to come. -

Optimisation of Traction and Fixing Systems in Suspended Monorails
This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Railway Engineering Design and Operation (CR 2016) www.witconferences.com Optimisation of traction and fixing systems in suspended monorails J. Yunta, D. Fernandez, D. Garcia-Pozuelo, V. Diaz, B. L. Boada & M. B. Ramírez Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica, Instituto para la Seguridad de los Vehículos Automóviles (ISVA), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Abstract Means of transport are a key point in the development of countries and the population interconnection, so the continuous improvement of them is an obligation and a challenge as well. The mean of transport selected for improvement is the monorail, which serves as a single rail track to transport cargo or passengers. In most cases, the monorail drives around suspension, but can also drive at ground level or tunnels. The aim of this work is the analysis of the optimisation design and technical feasibility of the traction and fixing systems of the monorail. A comparative technical analysis of these systems has been carried out to quantify them, assessing the strengths and weaknesses. Once the system idea to develop and optimise is defined, basic parameters and characteristics of the system are detailed, commercial elements are selected and a traction-fixing system model is modelled. The traction-fixing system has also been optimised with various loading limited conditions like static, modal and thermal analysis. FEM with Abaqus/CAE and CAD-CAM modelling with AutoCAD have been used in this work. Keywords: suspended monorail, optimisation, comparative technical analysis, design alternative, FEM, computer simulations, 3D modelling. 1 Introduction The monorail is a mean of transport in which carriages are moved in suspension or on a single rail structure and they are used for carrying passengers or cargo [1]. -

Mono-Rail Guided Transport
Mono-Rail guided Transport - From the 1902 Mono-Rail guided Bullock Cart in India to the 21th Century Centre Mono-Rail guided Los Angeles Automated Airport People Mover (LAX APM) in USA Indian Steam hauled Patiala Mono-Rail (1907-1927) preserved in running Condition in National Rail Museum at New Delhi By F.A. Wingler June 2019 1 From the 1902 Mono-Rail guided Bullock Cart in India to the 21th Century Mono-Rail guided Los Angeles Airport Automatic People Mover (LAX APM) in USA I. Mono-Rail guided Carriage Transport in India from 1902 to 1927 The first Mono-Rail guided goods carriage system, a road borne railway system, had been the Kundala Valley Railway in India, which was built in 1902 and operated between Munnar and Top Station in the Kannan Devan Hills of Kerala. It operated with a cart- vehicle, built to transport tea and other goods. The initial cart road was cut in 1902 and then replaced by the monorail goods carriage system along the road leading from Munnar to Top Station for the purpose of transporting tea and other products from Munnar and Madupatty to Top Station. This monorail was based on the Ewing System (see below) and had small steel-wheels placed on the mono-rail track while a larger wheel rested on the road to balance the monorail. The mono-rail was pulled by bullocks. Top Station was a trans-shipment point for delivery of tea from Munnar to Bodinayakkanur. Tea chests arriving at Top Station were then transported by an aerial ropeway from Top Station 5 km (3 mi) down-hill to the south to Kottagudi, Tamil Nadu, which popularly became known as "Bottom Station".
