Blackbird "kit". Titanium fab was done in Burbank and then the "parts" trucked across the San Bernardino Mountains to Palmdale for final assembly. Wonder what the instruction sheet looked like. BTW, the CIA A-12's were trucked all the way to Area 51.

"I see oversize loads at night all the time so that they avoid dealing with traffic and never during rush hour periods" Rufus.
Notice i said "wide loads". Oversize loads are not always wide loads. In PA seven days a week sunrise to sunset. Pa turnpike sunrise to sunset Monday-Friday. During summer months Memorial day-labor day. Monday-Thursday sunrise-sunset Friday till noon. No weekends.
No standard state to state.

BTW, when they were moving the A-12/SR-71's they were doing it both day and night. This was back in the early 60's and the project was very classified. They had law enforcement support the whole trip.

Out-of-Focus image in a Cassegrain telescope?

[robert.]

A little more of the image

[chuck]

It's a hole.

It looks like it might be part of the control panel for an old school stereo receiver/amp, the knob and mechanism somewhere else and we are just looking at the case/cover.

[E7]

A hole from a missing upholstery tack in some kind of padding, like on a bar or chair.

[robert.]

Not a hole. This is one thing that did. It photo well. It is a mother of pearl inlay. On an ebony bow frog. From a German made violin bow.
