Class 207M. Class 207M is a prototype series of Polish light Diesel Multiple Units (a.k.a. railcars). Only six were made in following configurations:
 two cars - a set of 207M power car and 207Mr trailer-control car (PKP designation SA101+SA121)
 three cars - a set of: 207Ma power car, 207Mra trailer car, 207Mb power car (PKP designation SA102+SA111+SA102)

History 
By the end of the 1970s, steam traction in Poland was mostly retired. Non-electrified lines became operated with diesel locomotives. For short distance passenger traffic (mainly suburban trains) PKP was seeking a more economical solution than a heavy diesel locomotive pulling few cars. The obvious solution was the use of railcars. However, due to politics-related economical problems Poland was facing in 1980s, it wasn't until 1990 that the first cars were produced.

The class 207M was developed in ZNTK Poznań by a team led by Polish renowned rail transport engineer Ryszard Suwalski. The concept prospected trains from one up to four cars in consist. Only 2- and 3-car versions were made, three of each. Again, due to economical difficulties class 207M never went into serious production. After 2001 a larger contingent of railcars/DMUs went into production and they were based on newer projects than 207M. The last class 207M unit was retired in 2017.

Human-powered land vehicle. Human-powered land vehicles are land vehicles propelled over ground by human power, The main ways to support the weight of a human-powered land vehicle and its contents above the ground are rolling contact; sliding contact; intermittent contact; no contact at all as with anything carried; or some combination of the above. The main methods of using human power to propel a land vehicle are some kind of drivetrain; pushing laterally against the ground with a wheel, skate, or ski that simultaneously moves forward; by pushing against the ground directly with an appendage opposite to the direction of travel; or by propeller. Human-powered land vehicles can be propelled by persons riding in the vehicle or by persons walking or running and not supported by the vehicle.

Many human-powered land vehicles can also be gravity-powered land vehicles, and vice versa, although some of the latter are quite awkward to use as the former. For example: street luges, gravity racers, and snow boards.

Types of ground contact
There are four main ways to support the weight of a human-powered land vehicle and its contents: rolling contact as with wheels; sliding contact as with skates, skis, or runners; intermittent contact as with stilts; and no contact at all as with anything carried. Additionally, these four methods may be combined as in wheelbarrows.

Wheeled
The most common wheeled human-powered land vehicle is the bicycle in all its forms. Other notable examples include:

Balance bicycles and dandy horses
Handcars, and draisines
Hotchkiss Bicycle Railroad and shweeb
Inline skates, roller skates, and roller skis
Kick scooters, kickbikes, knee scooters, and square scooters
Rickshaws, prams, strollers, roller buggies and buggies/Shopping trolley (caddy)
Skateboards, longboards, Penny boards, snakeboards, caster boards, Freeline skates, Surfskate (or Carveboard)
Tricycles, quadracycles, and velomobiles
Trikkes
Unicycles
Wheelchairs and baby walkers
Heel Skates

Sliding
 Skis, snowboard, snowskate
 Sleds
 Ice skates and clap skates
 Mud horses and mud sledges

Intermittent
 Stilts
 Powerbocking
 Pogo stick

Types of propulsion
There are three main methods of using human power to propel a land vehicle: some kind of drivetrain that turns one or more drive wheels; pushing laterally against the ground, to the side relative to the forward motion of the vehicle, with a wheel, skate, or ski that simultaneously moves forward; by pushing against the ground directly with an appendage, such as a hand or a foot, opposite to the direction of travel, or by pushing against the air with a propeller.

Chicago and North Western Passenger Depot. The Chicago and North Western Passenger Depot is a historic building located in Wall Lake, Iowa, United States. Wall Lake was served by both the Chicago & North Western Railroad and the Illinois Central Railroad, which gave it a significant rail presence from the 1880s until World War II. The C&NW depot is an example of a combination station plan. The plan combined both passenger and freight services in one building. They were commonly used during the heyday of railroad growth round the turn of the 20th century. However, the old Wall Lake C&NW depot was moved and used for freight. What would have been the freight room was used here for a lunchroom. C&NW had three standard combination depot plans that have been attributed to the prominent Chicago architectural firm of Frost & Granger. The Wall Lake depot was the largest of the three as it incorporated a women's waiting room, but it was actually  shorter than the general plan because freight was processed in another facility. The depot was built in 1899 by A.H. Carter & Co. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa as a replacement depot. The single-story frame structure is the only building used as a depot that remains in town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

Davis Aircraft. Davis Aircraft Corporation  was an American aircraft manufacturer.

The Davis Aircraft Corporation was founded by Walter C. Davis after the sale of the Davis Automobile Company in 1928. The company was formed with the purchase and merger of the Vulcan Aircraft company, and Baltimore, Maryland based Doyle Aero Company securing the rights to the Vulcan American Moth parasol. The American Moth was modified by engineer Dwight Huntington, and certified as the Davis V-3 on 6 September 1929. Weeks later the Wall Street crash of 1929 occurred. An updated Davis W-1 (ATC#256) was certified on 8 November 1929. Davis Aircraft ceased aircraft operations after a fire destroyed the manufacturing hangar and several aircraft at the height of the depression. Several aircraft were finished out of spare parts, but the company transitioned to making lawnmowers in 1932

M16 (rocket). The M16 was a  spin-stabilized unguided rocket developed by the United States Army during the Second World War. Entering service in April 1945 to replace the earlier fin-stabilised 4.5-inch M8 rocket, it was used late in the war and also during the Korean War before being removed from service.

Development
Developed during the latter stages of the Second World War, the M16 was the first spin-stabilized   rocket to be standardized for production by the United States Army.  in length, it could hit targets as far as  from its launcher. The M16 was launched from T66 "Honeycomb" 3x8 24-tube launchers, M21 5x5 25-tube launchers, and could also be fired from 60-tube "Hornet's Nest" launchers. The United States Marine Corps developed launching systems for the M16 rocket as well, capable of being fitted to standard 3/4 and 2.5-ton trucks. A version of the M16 rocket for single launchers, the M20, was developed as a derivative; practice rounds designated M17 and M21 were also manufactured.

During the Cold War years, various state and privately owned scientific institutions were engaged in the research and development projects, concerning development and enhancement of the U.S. Army spin-stabilized rockets, to mention California Institute of Technology, North Carolina State College of Agriculture of the University of North Carolina.

Operational history
A unit of "Honeycombs" was deployed to the European Theater of Operations in May 1945, and saw limited action in Czechoslovakia before the end of the war; only being used in a single engagement. Two of five battalions equipped with the M16 were deployed to the Pacific Theater of Operations, being stationed on Okinawa and in the Philippines, however the war ended before these units could see combat. The M16 remained in service with the U.S. Marine Corps following the war, with a single 18-launcher battery equipping each Marine Division; these saw combat service during the Korean War, as did U.S. Army launchers, the M16 fired from the T66 launcher being considered one of the "principal artillery weapons in the Korean War inventory".

P112. The P112 is a stand-alone 8-bit CPU board. Typically running CP/M or a similar operating system, it provides a Z80182 (Z80 upgrade) CPU with up to 1MB of SRAM memory, 32KB of in-system programmable flash ROM, serial, parallel and diskette IO, and a realtime clock, in a 3.5-inch drive form factor. Powered solely from 5V, it draws 150mA (nominal: not including disk drives) with a 16 MHz CPU clock. Clock speeds up to 24.576 MHz are possible.

The P112 is notable because it was the first of the hobbyist single board computers to reach the production stage.  The P112 hobbyist computers were relatively widespread and inspired other hobbyist centered home brew computing projects such as N8VEM home brew computing project.  The P112 project still maintains many devoted enthusiasts and has an online repository of software and other information.

The P112 computer originated as a commercial product of "D-X Designs Pty Ltd" of Australia in 1996. 
As of August 2016, Dave Brooks has released the hardware and software components of P112 into the public domain, under the GPL. The PCB layout is available in the original Protel format, and translated into the current Altium Designer 16 format, which many PCB fabricators can accept.

The P112 board was last available new in 1996 by Dave Brooks. In late 2004 on the Usenet Newsgroup comp.os.cpm, talk about making another run of P112 boards was discussed.  David Griffith decided to produce additional P112 kits with Dave Brooks' blessing and the assistance of others.  In addition Terry Gulczynski makes additional P112 derivative hobbyist home brew computers.  Hal Bower was very active in the mid-1990s on the P112 project and the commercial "Banked/Portable BIOS" CP/M-compatible operating system was sold for the P112 between 1992 and 1999. It has now been released as open source under the GPL license.

CZAW Parrot. The CZAW Parrot, also called the CSA Parrot, is a Czech light-sport aircraft that was designed and produced by Czech Aircraft Works, now Czech Sport Aircraft of Prague. The aircraft first flew on 15 June 2005 and, while it was available, it was supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

The Parrot was discontinued in May 2008, after three were completed and the design developed into the PS-10 Tourer.

Design and development
The Parrot was designed to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The Parrot is made from aluminum sheet. Its forward-swept  span wing has an area of . The forward sweep allows the cabin to be forward of the wing, providing pilot visibility in turns. Standard engines available were the  Rotax 912ULS and the  Jabiru 3300 four-stroke powerplants.

The Parrot was first flown on 15 June 2005 and the prototype was immediately shipped to the United States to be displayed at AirVenture 2005. The design was added to the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft in January 2006. By May 2008 three Parrots had been completed and the aircraft was discontinued.

The design was included in the intellectual property transferred from CZAW to CSA in 2009 and then redesigned with components from the PS-28 Cruiser and designated as the PS-10 Tourer. The PS-10 Tourer first flew on 6 December 2010 and was first publicly shown at the Aero show in Friedrichshafen in 2011. By December 2012 the PS-10 was not yet advertised for sale by CSA.

Vulcan Aircraft. Vulcan Aircraft Corporation was an American aircraft manufacturer.

History
William Burke founded the Vulcan Last Company, a shoe making concern that branched into golf clubs and accessories. By 1927, The Lindbergh boom inspired many to enter the aviation industry. In 1928, Burke partnered with two brothers, Harvey and Wilson Doyle to develop a monoplane of their design. On 31 March 1928, the first example flew from Raven Rock airport Portsmouth, OH. Seven examples of the $2500 Vulcan American Moth Monoplane were built just before the Great Depression set in.

Vulcan would promote its aircraft by touring from city to city golf courses having promoter Benny Martinez parachute with a set of Vulcan golf clubs. Martinez eventually broke his leg and Vulcan's chief pilot Pat Love died a year later in a crash.

The Doyle Brothers left the company after Wilson was passed over for plant manager. They went on to develop a similar monoplane forming the Doyle Aero Corporation in Baltimore, Maryland to produce the Doyle Aero O-2 Oriole. After Burke's death from a heart attack, Vulcan was sold to the Davis Aircraft Company in Richmond, Indiana, marketing the parasol as the Davis V-3.

Doyle Aero. Doyle Aero Corporation was an American aircraft manufacturer.

The Doyle Aero corporation was founded after the Doyle brothers left the Vulcan Aircraft company where they designed the Vulcan American Moth Monoplane. Lawyer Charles Baldwin arranged to finance a new venture with Harvey Doyle as President and Wilson Doyle as General Manager. The Doyles set up on Elm street in a Baltimore, Maryland factory building a similar parasol monoplane design, the O-2 Oriole, later named the Doyle O-2 The prototype flew on 15 October 1928 with a yellow and black paint scheme and was priced at $2,975. Doyle Aero did not survive the Great Depression economy and ceased operations after a short production run. Harvey Doyle became an aeronautical engineer, and Wilson Doyle would become a professor of Political Science.

The last surviving O-2 serial number A-5 (NX9531) was restored in 1984 after being in storage since 1934 and identified by its designer Harvey Doyle. It is currently privately owned.
