🔧 Fully Rebuilt: 1900s Wooden Bowling Arm Bowled Victor Trumper! 🏏 Engineers at Cambridge have successfully reconstructed one of the world’s oldest known bowling machines, which famously bowled out legendary Australian batsman Victor Trumper. Dr. John Venn, the inventor of the Venn Diagram, created this engineering contraption. 🔍 Key Insights: 1️⃣ A Historical Masterpiece: Using patent illustrations and an old photograph found online, Cambridge engineers brought the 2-metre tall contraption back to life with materials available over 120 years ago. This remarkable reconstruction showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the early 20th century. 2️⃣ Engineering and Innovation: Led by Professor Hugh Hunt, the project highlights the incredible creativity of Dr. John Venn. Known for his work on Venn Diagrams, Venn also invented this fascinating bowling machine using wood, string, and mathematical principles. 3️⃣ Authentic Recreation: The team meticulously crafted the machine to ensure historical accuracy, utilising high-quality hardwood and traditional woodworking techniques. The final product, capable of bowling at 33mph (53km/h), is a functional device and a historical relic. 🔗 Explore the full story of the reconstructed bowling machine and its historical significance: https://lnkd.in/grRvfVba 🗣️ #questionforgroup: How can historical reconstructions like this bowling machine inspire modern engineering and innovation? 💬 Join the conversation on the fascinating blend of history and technology that brings past innovations to life. #cricket #engineering #venndiagram #cambridge #innovation #woodcentral #sports #crickethistory #woodcentralau1

We've been thinking about diagrams. We are firm believers in the necessity of being able to distill a project into a simple clear diagram. For example, in the Media Pavilion, there is an incredibly rich and complex set of functional and technical needs. These are accommodated within the clear conceptual diagram developed in the early stages, giving the building legibility and an easily understood layout. The clear diagram can be understood in the use and experience of the finished building. Clear diagram = clear building #Diagrams #DesignProcess #Architecture #Sport #Media #Tennis #Wimbledon

Here we go again. Having done a few sports complexes over the last few years, figured why not do it again. KPI Engineering, Inc. is excited about this project and humbled to be able to be a part of such an impact on the town of City of Odessa, Texas! Glad to hear the excitement from City officials and others as the project continues to get underway. Also, looking forward to the impact sports tourism dollars will have on the area. The partnership with PAUL STRESING ASSOCIATES, INC. and RADDSports has already produced successful ventures for the complexes and municipalities we've worked with before. While the design and construction team which also includes Construction Manager Scherer Construction may not be directly involved in the operation of the complex, the team understands a successful implementation of the project is of prime importance and that includes its design, collaboration with selected contractors during construction, and final close out.
