1936 #Poland The speaking clock at the Main Post Office in Kraków, on the corner of Potocki and Wielopole Streets.A speaking clock is a telephone service that provides the exact current time when you call a designated number.It was once an essential tool before digital clocks and smartphones became common.The recorded voice—often of a radio announcer—would announce the time precisely, synchronized with official standards.Today, most speaking clocks are historical curiosities, but some still operate as reminders of early telecommunication technology.#telephony #history #ntp #ntps #time #timeseries #phones #telecomunication #krakow #europe Licence: Public DomainSygnatura: 3/1/0/8/5329Data/Okres powstania: 1936/07

@globalmuseum interestingly, I’ve always heard it called a Master’s Key, one of the secrets of a master stone mason. Known since ancient times. Also works okay with shear-legs (two long poles bound at the top and surmounted with a rope. Of course, it also required a hundred or so men to pull the rope.)

@novafuture If the Soviet Union had built a model based on farmer, worker, and consumer co-operatives rather than state capitalism it might have had a completely different fate.

Hiding in plain sight on the grounds of an active hospital, this abandoned auditorium stands as a curious relic of the site's past. The only outward clues to its existence are a modest door sign and a striking green oxidised copper dome. Features that are seemingly out of place among the surrounding modern medical blocks.https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/education/nobility-auditorium/#USA #Abandoned #History #AbandonedAmerica #Photography #UrbanExploration #Urnbex #LostPlace

@Spacehistory And all these countries have the same thing in common: a history of colonialism.

Canada's First Jet Team: The Blue DevilsThe 'Blue Devils' of 410 Squadron were Canada's first jet aerobatic team. Formed in 1949, they flew the de Havilland Vampire, the RCAF's first operational jet fighter, thrilling audiences with the speed of the new jet age. Active for only three seasons, they introduced high-speed precision jet formation flying in Canada. #Canada #RCAF #Aviation #History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/410_Tactical_Fighter_Operational_Training_Squadron#Aerobatic_team

@TexasObserver God and the State. What's the difference, really?"L'etate c'est moi"Of course, you should remember what happened to the guy who said that.

@economics_that_works The other thing he pointed out subsequently is the reason why that neighborhood is now struggling is a fucking freeway.When you hear me grouse about getting rid of cars, look what the fuck happened to a community that could rebuild itself even after a race massacre.Cars are economic cancer. Big corporations are economic cancer.

@log Yup, that and get caught in the middle of a Wizard argument you know nothing about and get killed randomly.

@Daniel_Hoffmann Thanks D, that may work...

️️ Long before digital projectors, Hero of Alexandria used a sophisticated system of weights and pulleys to create a programmable, moving theater. The 1st-century engineer’s "automatic stage" featured moving characters and changing scenes. https://greekreporter.com/2026/03/12/ancient-greek-engineer-invented-cinema/#history #engineering #ancientgreece #stem #innovation #robotics #cinema #mechanicalengineering #heroofalexandria #technology #discovery #learning
