The greatest family treasure of all can be yours now! Ad for the newest edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica - 1953.
Nothing is better than trying to look for reference material for a project and finding something with every dimension you could dream of.
I’m working on a project where I digitally model and 3D print a bunch of the ammo from the game Hunt: Showdown. The game is set in the late 1800s/early 1900s, so the rounds used by a bunch of the guns are virtually extinct. As a result, I want to do my little part to help preserve these small bits of history and recreate these obscure cartridges.
Anyways, I was looking for reference material for my model of the .41 Swiss round, used by the Vetterli carbine, and I think I managed to find THE FUCKING PATENT because it has exact measurements in millimeters (what I use in CAD), as well as tolerances (max/min dimensions of sections allowed in production under the patent), and a pattern for the paper patch that would be wrapped around the bullet before being pressed into the cartridge.
What a fucking find.

Sick. Stayed home. Went to the doc for covid testing. Got a narcotic cough syrup. So, I just took a dose, now that I'm home and can just fall asleep if needed. Waiting for it to make me too sleepy, I'm finally reading this, which I bought back in August last year!
Wondering how many myths and legends in here are incorporated into Black Butler. Should at least be a few... like the two lovers separated by the river should be in here... somewhere.
I bought a small collection from this series of books. This is the first one I've cracked open.
my notes are now public!
I have started publishing my notes @ notes.arden.social
A lot of my downtime recently has been spent reading and developing ideas for what I want my 'ideal principal' role to look like. I've been working on taking those ideas and making into a "workbook" of sorts to help me get my bearings. Another few engineers I shared this work with thought it would be beneficial to share with others who may be aiming for that Sr or Sr+ role.
My notes software doesn't yet allow publishing of its "canvas" feature, hoping that is added soon, because it is one of my favorite features. Here's the canvas I am working off of, for reference.
