[@neobaggins3718]

They’re all connected, so it doesn’t matter. If there are fewer cars behind one engine, its excess power pushes the cars in front. It’s a single system, there are just slightly more locomotives than the minimum needed to pull all the cars.

[@pcpug]

Well if you add the x and y values minus the z value and add the population of the albino mouse you can get how many cars each engine can pull!🤓🤓🤓🧐🧐🧐🤓🤓🤓

[@StudioDaVeed]

@@pcpug Before considering the phenotypic effects of the so-called albino or c-series of alleles (chromosome 7) it should be emphasized that although albinism is epistatic to all other coat-color determinants, i.e., all mice, regardless of genotype, lack pigment in the presence of c/c ( Plate 2-A), albino mice nevertheless possess a full complement of pigment cells. Thus the inability of albino animals to produce pigment stems not from an absence of melanocytes, as is the case for white spotting, but from a deficiency and/or alteration of the structure of tyrosinase in melanocytes which are otherwise normal. A. Evidence for the Occurrence of Amelanotic Melanocytes Evidence that albino animals possess a nonfunctioning population of melanocytes-appropriately known as "amelanotic melanocytes"-stems from a variety of observations, most of which were made in the mouse. When the hair bulbs of albino mice are examined histologically and compared with those originating from white-spotted areas, they are strikingly different. Whereas the hair bulbs of white-spotted areas are characterized by matrices consisting of regularly arranged cells of equal size, (Figures 3-10 and 3-11), albino hair bulbs contain, in addition, many large "clear" cells in their upper bulb region ( Chase and Rauch, 1950; Silvers, 1956) ( Figure 3-12a). Since these large cells with an apparently hyaline cytoplasm are similar in morphology and location to the pigment-containing cells found in lightly pigmented phenotypes ( Figure 3-12b), they are considered to be amelanotic melanocytes ( Silvers, 1956). Further evidence for this conclusion stems from the observation that the experimentally depigmented melanocytes of black and yellow mice maintained on a biotin-deficient diet are indistinguishable from the clear cells of albinos, though they retain their dopa-positive character ( Quevedo, 1956). Moreover, both clear cells and melanocytes exhibit similar sensitivities to X-rays. Thus, when the skin of albino mice in the resting stage of hair growth is exposed to 1200 r of irradiation, a dose known to destroy almost completely the melanocyte population in resting hairs of pigmented animals ( Chase, 1949; Chase and Rauch, 1950), there is a marked destruction of follicular clear cells ( Quevedo, 1957). This similar radiosensitivity of clear cells and melanocytes, added to the morphological evidence noted above, indicate further that clear cells are in fact amelanotic melanocytes. This conclusion was substantiated again when it was demonstrated that clear cells, like melanocytes, are derived from the neural crest. The neural crest originates embryologically between the junction of the neural tube and its overlying ectoderm and is initially continuous from head to tail. As development proceeds, however, its constituent cells migrate ventrolaterally on either side of the spinal cord and at the same time become segmentally clustered (see Chapter 1, note 3). In the mouse this anterior to posterior and mediolateral migration of neural crest cells, from their place of origin to their definitive positions, takes place between the eighth and twelfth day of embryonic development (the gestation in mouse is about 20 days), as demonstrated in the classic experiments of Rawles ( 1940, 1947, 1953). Thus, by transplanting tissues derived from various regions of C57BL/6 mouse embryos of different ages to the coelom of the chick embryo, Rawles was able to demonstrate that only those explants which included cells of neural crest origin produced melanocytes. She found neural crest cells to be confined to the region of the neural tube in 8.5- to 9-day-old embryos and only when this region was included in grafts of this age did melanocytes develop. By approximately 11 days of age, however, she found that cells of neural crest origin had made their way into almost all regions of the body so that skin ectoderm and adhering mesoderm removed from almost any level of the trunk (but not from the limb buds) produced pigmented hairs when transplanted to the chick coelom. Limb buds receive migrating melanoblasts between the eleventh and twelfth days of gestation and only at this time did limb-bud ectoderm and adhering mesoderm give rise to pigmented hairs. Once this "timetable" for the migratory pathway of neural crest cells was established, and it was substantiated that the melanocytes of pigmented animals were derived from these cells, it was easy to demonstrate that they likewise differentiated into the clear cell or putative amelanotic melanocyte population of albino animals. This was accomplished by showing that hair bulbs in the skin of grafts which differentiated from albino embryo explants possessed clear cells only when the explant was known to contain cells of neural crest origin ( Silvers, 1958c) (Figure 3-13a and d). Indeed, the fact that the hair bulbs of skin known to be deprived of its neural crest component were indistinguishable from those normally originating in white-spotted areas (Figure 3-13b and c) provided the strongest evidence that white spotting resulted from an absence of melanocytes, pigmented or otherwise ( Silvers, 1958c). 10

[@pablokimon]

This is really quite beautiful! I could see this as an installation in a museum or science exhibit, perhaps behind a soundproof wall to protect the workers from the sound. Great work indeed!

[@donkeythong3862]

Have no idea what I'm watching but it's very hypnotic.

[@Paulygon]

On the other hand, this is a good way to show how the inside of an 8 track tape works...

[@RaymondHng]

Paulygon Except the 8-track tape is in the opposite direction. The tape is unspooled from the inside and wrapped in the outside. The film projector platter system, however, is in the same direction as this train.

[@Bandicoot803]

Just like the old 30-minutes cockpit voice recorder tapes. Nowadays they're using flash cells capable to record up to 2 hours.

[@KandiKlover]

And old video cassette surveillance camera systems. Got a good loop of a few hours.

[@Quacks0]

@Paulygon & jerry arnold: Yeah I was thinking something like that, as well --- I figgered the designer of this setup was an 8-track tape aficionado... I grew up with 8-tracks; watching this movie makes me feel sooooooo olllldddddd.... ;)

[@SternLX]

RaymondHng Nope, film platter systems feed from the center and take up on the outside of a center ring onto a separate platter. Almost just like an 8 track loop.

came from another spiral and went back to it

THE SOUND, My mom think it's raining outside

[@interstitialist4227]

Completely insane, but very well done. There need to be two of these circles, with the train moving back and forth between them.

[@nafcd]

What amazed me was who has 10 identical loco's and 250 identical wagons lying around but well impressed with the result

[@sergeantpete6295]

Awesomedicular! One point though... using simple math, you could have calculated the exact number of cars/engines needed to have the caboose clear the entrance mere seconds/inches from when the lead engine was making it's exit.

[@beeble2003]

Sergeant Pete You don't need any math beyond arithmetic: no need to calculate the length of the spiral, since the builder knows what length of track went into it.

[@sergeantpete6295]

beeble2003 Well yes, arithmetic is what I meant by "simple math". In any case, my point was that the only way this demonstration could have been any cooler would have been to have the lead engine barely miss the caboose.

[@beeble2003]

Sergeant Pete Oh, OK. I thought you meant calculating the length of the spiral from the number of turns and the inner and outer radii, for example. And, yes, it would be very cool if it nearly caught its own tail end.

[@rwisswell]

He'd have to purchase about 30 more cars, I mean who could afford that!

[@PanozGTR2]

but a sharper turn moves trucks closer together relative to track length, so it might not have been that simple (I say might because the difference may be minimal) Suppose I have (for example) a 10-turn spiral in HO, starting at 264mm radius, track spacing 33mm (two track widths), truck length 132mm. Then, omitting the calculations: Pure Arithmetic: 93.200508 cars With Corrections: 93.37 cars (ish) P.S. the math was not simple

[@trainknut]

The most impressive thing isn't the spiral itself, but the fact you did it with _snap track_ That must've taken weeks to prepare and hours to set up.

[@TwinShards]

Operator in charge of hooking wagons: How many wagon do you think you need to get all that coal at the mine? Train Operator: Yes.

[@danielgregory3295]

Vintage comment!!😁📼

[@my3dviews]

Yes. Except that it is going the wrong direction. An 8 track tape pulls the tape out of the middle and loads it onto the outside. :-)

Or a norewind film projector.

[@chriskuchem7708]

So this is how my old 8-track cartridges worked.

[@BertGrink]

In reverse: in the tape cart, the tape is pulled out from the middle, and after having passed the capstan and head it is then wound around the outside of the tape spool.

[@TralfazConstruction]

@@BertGrink My extra-large American Graffiti 8-Track would routinely foul itself. I must have exchanged it four times in one year before giving up out of frustration.
