About the website
Welcome. This website has two main parts:
- Data
- Assembled from the research conducted 1973 through
1990. Main driver for this information was to provide a history for every vehicle photographed. It was quicker to capture all info rather that specifically "hunt" for every vehicles history. New construction is complete from 1886 to the 1980's.
Scrap and disposal data is complete to 1927, spotty to the 1980s.
Conversion data is complete 1886 to the 1980s. Given the workload of the task, the purpose of the website was to provide a fairly complete history up to the
1990s. From the 1980s to today, I have left the work for others.
- Photographs
- My main interest is photography. Along the way I
embarked on many interstate and overseas trips and too plenty of photos.
As well I recorded the work environment
- A new indexing method has been undertaken using LibreOffice. Its quick and easy but there are no links to files. It is possible, but there's just no time.
- Columns are set up as:
- Reference - Film#, ColourSlide Year
- Image# - negative, colour slide number, digital photo#
- Scan# - Scan# reference for Image. Scan# may not match Image#
- Date - Best date available
- Location - Best location available
- Subject - Best simple method in order of mainSubject[other subjects]
- Notes - redundant column
