That steam wheel is the for the throttle for the propulsion. The three panels are from left: The throttleman, the reactor controls and the panel on the right is the electric panel.
This was in maneuvering in nuclear submarines.
There were 4 people on watch, three total for the three panels and one watch officer who sat behind the Electric Panel Operator.
It sometimes appears that the only person you do NOT think is a fraud and a clown in the field is . . .
00:01 5/10/06 to 24:59 5/20/06
2) A SPECIFIC magnitude range (e.g. between magnitude 5 and magnitude 7)
7.9 ±0.5
3) A SPECIFIC land area (either a "box" of latitude/longitude, or a radius around a specific point, that is "within 100 miles of LA City Hall" for example.)
Within 100 miles of New Madrid, MO
4) Perhaps most importantly, a forecaster needs to calculate HIMSELF the probability he'll have a successful forecast by "dumb luck." This requires work, looking at quake catalogs, but other people shouldn't have to do his work for him.
Hmmmmm, last major quake 1812, call it about 70,000 days ago, 10 day window, unknown interval between the 1811/1812 cluster and previous 'quakes.
Call it 1:10,000?
Happy now?
It's the original File Manager prototype. It allowed you to navigate through your files on the harddrive.
I knew that it was false and that IS a submarine power plant control panel that was in manuvering!
The question I responded to was what the wheel was for and that was for the throttleman to control the speed of the main engines.
OH, I was wondering what that wheel was used for in a home computer. :)
