Christmas-New Years break in the UK -- Part 6 -- House Rented in London & the London Science Museum

Three story home with many bedrooms and two baths.  We used three bedrooms...

Entrance area to the Science Museum.   Cool bike display  overhead...

James Watt

James Watt's workshop equipment was on display.  Some pretty cool and complex tools.

A very early (turn of the 20th century) motorized trike.








Small cars from various nations.

The science museum has a pretty amazing collection of early aero engines.  Unfortunately, they're displayed poorly so it's difficult to look at the engines (& to take photos).




Airplane wheel, as it transitions from wire spokes to cast (in this case with an integral drum brake).



















Early airplane cockpit with foot operated controls and various levers & a steering wheel...


An actual Enigma machine, as used by the Germans in WWII.

Chain installation on the Teledyne

Installed this chain on the Teledyne.  It's supposed to work on 6, 7 & 8 speed setups.  The Teledyne has a wheel on it with 7 speeds.

I had this "missing link" for connecting the chain from another chain.  It would not fit on the chain!  It's a little too narrow.  It may be for a 9 speed chain.
Had to shorten the chain.





Also have this other new chain, which also came with a "missing link."  The one on the right is from the X8 package.

The CL573R is the right size for the Z7 chain that I installed.

Missing link, as installed (it's the one with the slot in it).

The chain is still too long.  The rear deraileur has chain interference (with both the front and rear on the smallest size gears).


This is the kind of clearance needed.

Took out three more links & now it's good.
