Construction on another side of the world
Tiger-Stone is a Dutch paver laying machine that can produce brick roads.
Paving bricks are dropped by front-end-loader onto the angled trough.
Men help to spread them in the trough as they drop into the forming jig.
As the electrically-operated crawler moves forward along a prelaid sand base layer, all the stones are packed, gravity held together and descend the sloping ramp on to the road.

Hellmann's
Mayonnaise - a bit of history
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was
manufactured in England In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars
of the condiment scheduled for delivery in
Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next
port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
This would have
been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever
delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to
New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever
lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were
eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their
anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning,
which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning
occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as - Sink o De
Mayo.
WHAT ??? You expected something educational from me?
I think your Best Emails readers will get a chuckle out of these!
