  Antique Vacuum Radio Tube Lamp Collection - LCF Group Floyd Virginia

  http://www.floydfolks.org & http://www.littlefamilyfarm.com 1-540-808-2880 - floydlcfgroup@gmail - PO box 179 Floyd,Virginia 24091---Antique Vacuum Radio Tube Lamp Collection-1.Lightening arrester. When clouds were charged, these charged particles of rain would come down and hit the antenna. The neon light inside the arrester would flicker showing the charged rain particles were going to ground. The "ooh-ah" factor. 2.Amprex tube dated 1963. From a transmitting tube. In consider the pin configuration quite unusual. 3.World War II field can opener. A pocket slip stick (slide rule). Accuracy to 2 decimal places. World War II tubes used in one of the first handy-talkies. The tubes were physically wired to cut down on corrosion and rough handling. The batteries that supplied power were referred to as house bricks because of their weight. 4.Photocell tube that was used in a movie projector. Made 1959 30th week. Triode of unknown use. No known use. It was selected because it reminded mo of a UFO. The pins were soldered in a socket. 5.0526 Unknown use EF 12K A German Telefunken tube A dual tube used in a transmitter 6.The blue glass was used in the early 1930's to make the customer think he has a better tube than the standard glass. Some tubes ere blue, others had a rainbow effect to the glass. These were psychological only. 7.This was purchased at a Flee Market in Geronimo, OK. It is an iron wire commercial power insulator. We think it was hit by lightening. I have never seen one like this before. When handling use extreme caution because I feel one hard drop it will break into pieces. If you take your finger and rub over the surface you will feel that the crazing of the glass is all interior as the inside and outside is smooth. There is a chip on the edge which is sharp. 8.¾" cathoray tube used in possible a transmitter where the balancing of the output has to be in phase. 9.Triode vacuum tube is a true experimental model. I feel this glass envelope at one time was an incandescent light. I believe it is called an Illuminline. These lights ere used in show cases where the filament was extended for the full length of the lamp. Notice that the plate and grind appear to be hand wound. And the filament is strictly a straight wire. There is even a gitter at the base of the tube. 10.Vacuum capacitor 11.Telephone insulator 12.World War II Breast microphone. The web goes around the neck to keep both hands free. 13.The blue glass does not make a better tube. It was a sales pitch. 14.Same 15.Pentode vacuum tube (Raytheon) Triode by RCA 16.Unknown 8012 17. 120v neon lamp Metallic coating is to keep the tube from heterodyning (feed back squeal) 18.Triode 30 Unknown tube 19.Very old neon lamp 120v- ------This video was produced by the LCF Group, ( We are on The Crooked Road Heritage Music Trail and the Round The Mountain Artisan and Craftsman Venue as a great place to visit ) Floyd Professional Center, Village Green, Floyd Virginia.

  Intel Intellec 4 Microcomputer System - 4004 microprocessor Floyd Virginia

  http://www.floydfolks.org & http://www.littlefamilyfarm.com 1-540-808-2880 - floydlcfgroup@gmail - PO box 179 Floyd,Virginia 24091---The 4004 was released on November 15, 1971.[2] Packaged in a 16-pin ceramic dual in-line package, the 4004 was the first commercially available computer processor designed and manufactured by chip maker Intel, which had previously made semiconductor memory chips. The chief designers of the chip were Federico Faggin and Ted Hoff of Intel, and Masatoshi Shima of Busicom (later of ZiLOG, founded by Faggin). Faggin, the sole chip designer among the engineers on the MCS-4 project, was the only one with experience in MOS random logic and circuit design. He also had the crucial knowledge of the new silicon gate process technology with self-aligned gates, which he had created at Fairchild in 1968. At Fairchild in 1968, Faggin also designed and manufactured the world's first commercial IC using SGT — the Fairchild 3708. As soon as he joined the Intel MOS Department he created a new random design methodology based on silicon gate, and contributed many technology and circuit design inventions that enabled a single chip microprocessor to become a reality for the first time. His methodology set the design style for all the early Intel microprocessors and later for the Zilog's Z80. He also led the MCS-4 project and was responsible for its successful outcome (1970-1971). Ted Hoff, head of the Application Research Department, contributed only the architectural proposal for Busicom working with Stan Mazor in 1969, then he moved on to other projects. Shima designed the Busicom calculator firmware and assisted Faggin during the first six months of the implementation. The manager of Intel's MOS Design Department was Leslie L. Vadász.[3] At the time of the MCS-4 development, Vadasz's attention was completely focused on the mainstream business of semiconductor memories and he left the leadership and the management of the MCS-4 project to Faggin. The Japanese company Busicom had designed their own special purpose LSI chipset for use in their Busicom 141-PF calculator with integrated printer and commissioned Intel to develop it for production. However, Intel determined it was too complex and would use non-standard packaging and so it was proposed that a new design produced with standard 16-pin DIP packaging and reduced instruction set be developed.[4] This resulted in the 4004, which was part of a family chips, including ROM, DRAM and serial to parallel shift register chips. The 4004 was built of approximately 2,300 transistors and was followed the next year by the first ever 8-bit microprocessor, the 2,500 transistor 8008 (and the 4040, a revised 4004). It was not until the development of the 40-pin 8080 in 1974 that the address and data buses would be separated, giving faster and simpler access to memory.This video was produced by the LCF Group, ( We are on The Crooked Road Heritage Music Trail and the Round The Mountain Artisan and Craftsman Venue as a great place to visit ) Floyd Professional Center, Village Green, Floyd Virginia.

  Bernie Coveney- how he became a musician and moved to Floyd Va.wmv

  lcfgroup — May 19, 2010 — http://www.floydfolks.org & http://berniecoveney.com http://www.littlefamilyfarm.com 1-540-808-2880 - floydlcfgroup@gmail - PO box 179 Floyd,Virginia 24091---- Bernie Coveney Musician, Songwriter, Entertainer Bernie Coveney A musical journey home Although he was raised in the highlands of New Jersey, it was the sounds of the southern hill country that drew Bernie Coveney's earliest musical interest. Some might consider it happenstance when he was asked to join Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters at the age of 17 for an impromptu session. But if you don't believe in coincidence, then you know he was being brought "into the circle" by one of the matriarchs of country music. The early 60's found Bernie and childhood friend John Carlini, listening to WWVA (Wheeling, WVA) on the AM car radio in John's driveway. Hooked by the likes of Earl Scruggs and the Stanley Brothers, they seemed strangely out of place as rock and the British invasion captured those around them. But the music of the mountains was still at their core. Vietnam was full-on as Bernie and John gigged around the TriState area mixing bluegrass and folk to an ever widening audience. But college sent them in different directions. Meeting again in Virginia Beach (while John was attending the Navy School of Music), Bernie joined the working band Group Nine. The bands rehearsal space was downstairs from an unknown young singer, Emmylou Harris, who asked Bernie to back her up. They headed for New York where they recorded Emmylou's demo. Life happens, and Bernie as a single dad eventually found his way back to NJ teaching guitar. One of his more notable students was Robert Duval for his role in Tender Mercies. He also worked on the movie King of the Gypsies, with Stephane Grappelli, John Carlini, and David Grisman. Further widening his circle, he played with Tex Logan, Peter Rowan, Jerry Jeff Walker, Danny Flowers, Butch Robins, Bill Monroe, Mike Seeger, and Ralph Rinzler. - This video was produced by the LCF Group, ( We are on The Crooked Road Heritage Music Trail and the Round The Mountain Artisan and Craftsman Venue as a great place to visit ) Floyd Professional Center, Village Green, Floyd Virginia.

  Byte Microcomputer Magazine & Wayne Green part ways LCF Group Floyd Virginia

  http://www.floydfolks.org & http://www.littlefamilyfarm.com 1-540-808-2880 - floydlcfgroup@gmail - PO box 179 Floyd,Virginia 24091-----Microcomputer Magazines, Byte, Kilobaud -- 1976 By David Larsen-KK4WW All hobbies, products, reoccurring events and topics of great interest generate magazines or newsletters. Now with the world wide web the shift is to forums and blogs online. During the late 70's and 80's dozens of computer magazines were published, however most had a very short life -- just like most of the early microcomputers. First was the simple newsletters and a few of them became successful magazine publications. Most likely the first real microcomputer magazine was "Byte" and interestingly it lasted through all the publishing wars and is still a popular computer magazine. The start up of "Byte" by Wayne Green has lots of intrigue and fascinating stories. Wayne Green was a renegade and lively fellow who had already invented many creative products and magazines for the amateur radio field. He was good at picking up good business trends and this certainly was true with Byte magazine. Wayne was creating many minor hardware and software products for microcomputers. He considered himself as a real computer guru and had a big ego. He was always writing about how to be successful in business and make a fortune however, I think his personal long term success and fortune was mostly hype and ego. At the time of this writing Wayne Green is 88 or so years old and is still writing an interesting blog at WayneGreen.com.* The first issue of Byte was published in September 1976 and was full of interesting articles and advertising -- it sold out very quickly and Wayne had a big following. Unfortunately his wife had other ideas and left him and took Byte magazine with her. Wayne wrote really colorful editorials about his wife stealing Byte in his other magazines and folks purchased them just for the entertainment of his writing. There was much litigation and usual bickering that goes on with some family breakups. Not to be out done, Wayne immediately started a new computer publication called "Kilobyte" in January 1977. This also quickly became another contention with his former wife. She would not let him use the word "Byte" as part of the "Kilobyte." Again Wayne lost out and ended up calling his magazine "KiloBaud." The names Byte (8 bits of data), Kilo (1000) and Baud (speed of data transmission) were well known only by techies, computer geeks and hobbyist which were the only ones interested in these publications. Computer magazines for the general public did not become popular until well into the 80's when the IBM-PC became a common part of the home and office.-----This video was produced by the LCF Group, ( We are on The Crooked Road Heritage Music Trail and the Round The Mountain Artisan and Craftsman Venue as a great place to visit ) Floyd Professional Center, Village Green, Floyd Virginia.

  FWD brand Antique Truck made in 1961 Clintonville WI a Rare Find.wmv

  http://www.floydfolks.org & http://www.littlefamilyfarm.com 1-540-808-2880 - floydlcfgroup@gmail - PO box 179 Floyd,Virginia 24091------This FWD manufactured truck was built in 1961 in Clintonville Wisconsin. The present owner located it on a dairy farm parked at the edge of hay field. It had been there for a very long time and owner was happy to see it leave his farm. The new owner was able to make run and has fixed it up real nice and used it last winter to help plow snow from the state roads. It is really a massive truck when viewed up close with a very big 6 cylinder gas engine. Some folks have the luck and just in the right place at the right time.---------This video was produced by the LCF Group, ( We are on The Crooked Road Heritage Music Trail and the Round The Mountain Artisan and Craftsman Venue as a great place to visit ) Floyd Professional Center, Village Green, Floyd Virginia.

  Bernie Coveney plays -Love Me Tender-with background history.wmv

  lcfgroup — May 19, 2010 — http://www.floydfolks.org & http://www.littlefamilyfarm.com 1-540-808-2880 - floydlcfgroup@gmail - PO box 179 Floyd,Virginia 24091---- Bernie Coveney Musician, Songwriter, Entertainer http://berniecoveney.com Bernie Coveney "Love Me Tender" A musical journey home Although he was raised in the highlands of New Jersey, it was the sounds of the southern hill country that drew Bernie Coveney's earliest musical interest. Some might consider it happenstance when he was asked to join Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters at the age of 17 for an impromptu session. But if you don't believe in coincidence, then you know he was being brought "into the circle" by one of the matriarchs of country music. The early 60's found Bernie and childhood friend John Carlini, listening to WWVA (Wheeling, WVA) on the AM car radio in John's driveway. Hooked by the likes of Earl Scruggs and the Stanley Brothers, they seemed strangely out of place as rock and the British invasion captured those around them. But the music of the mountains was still at their core. Vietnam was full-on as Bernie and John gigged around the TriState area mixing bluegrass and folk to an ever widening audience. But college sent them in different directions. Meeting again in Virginia Beach (while John was attending the Navy School of Music), Bernie joined the working band Group Nine. The bands rehearsal space was downstairs from an unknown young singer, Emmylou Harris, who asked Bernie to back her up. They headed for New York where they recorded Emmylou's demo. Life happens, and Bernie as a single dad eventually found his way back to NJ teaching guitar. One of his more notable students was Robert Duval for his role in Tender Mercies. He also worked on the movie King of the Gypsies, with Stephane Grappelli, John Carlini, and David Grisman. Further widening his circle, he played with Tex Logan, Peter Rowan, Jerry Jeff Walker, Danny Flowers, Butch Robins, Bill Monroe, Mike Seeger, and Ralph Rinzler. --------This video was produced by the LCF Group, ( We are on The Crooked Road Heritage Music Trail and the Round The Mountain Artisan and Craftsman Venue as a great place to visit ) Floyd Professional Center, Village Green, Floyd Virginia.
