SUMMARY
=======
Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. (born Leslie Lynch King Jr; July 14, 1913 – December 26, 2006) was an American politician who served as the 38th President of the United States from August 1974 to January 1977. Before his accession to the presidency, he served as the 40th Vice President of the United States from December 1973 to August 1974. Ford is the only person to have served as both vice president and president without being elected to either office.
Ford was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and attended the University of Michigan and Yale Law School. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve, serving from 1942 to 1946; he left as a lieutenant commander. Ford began his political career in 1949 as the U.S. Representative from Michigan's 5th congressional district. He served in this capacity for 25 years, the final nine of them as the House Minority Leader. Following the resignation of Spiro Agnew, he was the first person appointed to the vice presidency under the terms of the 25th Amendment. After the resignation of Richard Nixon, Ford automatically assumed the presidency. His 895 day-long presidency is the shortest in U.S. history for any president who did not die in office.
As president, Ford signed the Helsinki Accords, which marked a move toward détente in the Cold War. With the collapse of South Vietnam nine months into his presidency, U.S. involvement in Vietnam essentially ended. Domestically, Ford presided over the worst economy in the four decades since the Great Depression, with growing inflation and a recession during his tenure. In one of his most controversial acts, he granted a presidential pardon to President Richard Nixon for his role in the Watergate scandal. During Ford's presidency, foreign policy was characterized in procedural terms by the increased role Congress began to play, and by the corresponding curb on the powers of the President. In the Republican presidential primary campaign of 1976, Ford defeated former California Governor Ronald Reagan for the Republican nomination. He narrowly lost the presidential election to the Democratic challenger, former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter.
Following his years as president, Ford remained active in the Republican Party. His moderate views on various social issues increasingly put him at odds with conservative members of the party in the 1990s and early 2000s. After experiencing a series of health problems, he died at home on December 26, 2006. At the time of his death he was the longest-lived president in American history, a record he held until George H. W. Bush surpassed him on November 25, 2017.

1890s-1930s Amusements at 1970 Big E | WTIC-TV (now WFSB) Hartford, CT | Channel 3 | Dick Bertel
For the September 20, 1970 edition of his program Perception on WTIC-TV (now WFSB), Channel 3 in Hartford, Connecticut, Dick Bertel interviews Paul Eakins who has brought vintage machines from his Gay 90's Village in Sikeston, Missouri to West Springfield, Massachusetts for the annual Eastern States Exposition, popularly known as The Big E, the New England equivalent to the state fair. Featured in the discussion are several penny arcade machines and the enormous band organ called Sadie Mae.
Rescued from neglect and disrepair in Gulf Shores, Alabama, Sadie Mae originally provided the music for a merry-go-round at Ramona Park in East Grand Rapids, Michigan. [As a teenager in 1930, President Gerald Ford (House minority leader in 1970) worked weekends there supplying the concession stands.] Its instruments are triggered by air pumped by a bellows. Eakins explains that it operates much like a player piano does: Each song sequence is controlled by punched cardboard cards folded into a book using a principle first applied by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1801 to automate a water-powered mechanical silk loom. (The punch cards that are iconic of the dawning of the computer age are based on the same principle.)
During the program, Loudmouth Sadie Mae plays The Battle Hymn of the Republic, When the Saints Go Marching In, and Let Me Call You Sweetheart. Believed by Eakins to have been constructed in France by Gavioli & Cie around 1870, collectors will later determine that it is more likely a Model 28A DeKleist built around 1901 in North Tonawanda, New York.
North Tonawanda figures prominently in the American fairground equipment industry. The Armitage Herschell Company, an amusement ride builder, was founded there in 1873. In 1892 it enticed Eugene de Kleist, a German former employee of the French competitor Limonaire Frères, to relocate from London to launch the North Tonawanda Barrel Organ Factory as a complement to its carousels. It became known as the DeKleist Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co. in 1897 when it formed a partnership with the Rudolph Wurlitzer Co. to build organs under the Wurlitzer nameplate. Wurlitzer would buy the business outright in 1908 and would ultimately relocate there from Cincinnati.
Built in the North Tonawanda plant around 1929, one of the other organs that Eakins has brought to The Big E is a Wurltizer Style 103 named Jenny. Another organ included in the exhibit is The Gypsy Queen, built by Foucher-Gasparini in Paris between 1865 and 1890. According to Eakins, gypsies would transport The Gypsy Queen on a barge to river and canal towns in France, Germany, and Spain and use it to distract crowds while pickpocketing them.
In the second half of the program, Eakins guides Bertel on a tour of penny arcade equipment dating from the 1890s to the 1930s. Along the way, he opens the cabinets of two viewing machines to expose their mechanisms: the automatic stereopticon drop picture 3D illusion maker 14 Early American Scenes and a Mutoscope that displays the slapstick comedy movie The Farmer's Daughter. In another Mutoscope example, the WTIC-TV camera shows the home viewer a movie of The Long Count Fight, the 1927 title bout between boxers Gene Tunney, the defending Heavyweight Champion of the World, and the former champion, Jack Dempsey. Also spotlighted during the conversation are two robotic fortune tellers: a Madame Zita made by Roover Brothers in Brooklyn, N.Y. ---refurbished and renamed Sister Patricia in honor of one of Eakins' daughters--- and Grandmother Predictions which once operated in the Forest Park Highlands amusement park in St. Louis. Stops are also made at Your Ideal Love Mate, License Bureau, and Your Future Partner and Family, all made in Chicago by the Exhibit Supply Co.
Paul Eakins (1913-1990) shares some stories from his travels around the country and mentions six of us altogether who go on the road with him to assist with the exhibit including his cousin Virgil Eakins (1910-1974), a retired electrician from Portland, Oregon; Virgil's wife Juanita (Harris) (1919-1976); Victor Sturken (1911-1987), the former proprietor of the Washington Park amusement park in Michigan City, Indiana; and Victor's wife Lillian (Anderlik) (1908-1997). The sixth person may be Paul's wife Laura (Dittlinger) (1913-2001).
Dick Bertel, who has been retired from broadcasting since 2006, is himself a lifelong historian, collector, and tinkerer of early recording, playback, and movie-making equipment. His avidly maintained collection dates back to 1896. His wife Jean, to whom he refers while reading the card dispensed by Your Future Partner and Family, has been retired from nursing since 1996.

Tesla VIP Factory Tour Event Recap and Coverage
Tesla VIP Factory Tour Event Recap and Coverage
-----------------
June 2nd, 2017 was the day of the private VIP Tesla Factory Tour. Got to meet up with other YouTubers, such as the Endurance Driver, Carl Reese, whom he and I are making some plans for a surprise in July some time.
That being said, here is a little Recap of the trip. Now, Tesla was VERY STRICT (Usually they are a bit flexible on this) about NO Cameras, Filming or Photos during this event. And if we even took out our phones, they would confiscate them and go through our pictures..... I was being particularly watched... So no video or photos of the tour, and NDA prohibits me from talking about some things as well. So at the end, the recap with me and Gerry will be some things that we CAN discuss.
All and all, this being my first Factory Tour, I was Insanely impressed with Tesla, the Safety standards they hold, Overall Cleanliness of the factory, and the great way they Treat the employees! (Of course, this is from my outside view of the company and what I observed).
While I was not able to film or record Franz's Q&A session, I did write a transcript, and will be making a video going over his Q&A. Got to love Pen & Paper! So reliable! Yet my handwriting is MESSY, so I need to go over it all again.
