This technology: Wireless Bridge with the Bundesbahn holiday time - travel time. Is the federal railways. 7 million German citizens choose each year, simply, because they want to reach their destination safely and on time.
Comfort on the rail today of course. Calm and relaxed in the holiday drive, enjoy doing nothing, doing only what is necessary - so travel is already a piece of the holiday. What the view from the window on the landscape over scurrying escapes: travel is not only pleasure. Travel is also an organizational and transportation task. For the driver, and a profession, two eyes that watch over the safety of several hundred people. The instruments read, pay attention to the signals that continuously have the track schedule at a glance, many others wake and direct outside of the train. Modern communications technology improves communication. The train car radio. With the push of a button, they can reach at any time each train driver. On the track Dortmund/Munich, the dispatchers now have the trains through on the phone. Changes in the sequence, changing the speed, service for travellers, for example references to waiting connection cables - no problem.
Original sound: Conversation engine driver/train control unit: ' attention to an announcement. Train drivers of the TE of 10 TE 10 holds today ausserfahrplanmässig in Günsburg to record of a tour group. Entering different Günsburg of the station at track 3. Repeat: holds ausserfahrplanmässig in Günsburg TE 10 and arriving by way of derogation from the station after track 3. Right. At the end. At the end.'
And so the train car radio works: at the headquarters the number of turn key was elected. Track radio stations are at a distance of 12 kilometres. You transfer the signals in the receiver in the cockpit of the locomotive. Standard messages, for example 'Faster' - or 'Slow information' be transmitted light symbols without language. The control unit may be standing if necessary even the train directly via radio. And equally important also the driver can reach the control panel at any time while driving. 3 years the new tax and radio system was tested. Meanwhile, it sparks information on approximately 2,000 kilometres of track. in 1978, 25,000 km and 6000 locomotives should be on the safety leash of train railway communications. About half a billion marks will be invested.
In art: Painting of reality must be fun if this is the deal. Realism, long a swear word in the art and cultural transmission, is rising again in the course. The German art scene is become more open since loners and groups again deal critically with the reality. The Berlin new realists, for example--an Association of young painter - take when painting polemically party: for the people, against its deformation by the hidden violence of our time.
Harald Duve lives on the Großensee near Hamburg. He also belongs to the new avant-garde of the realism in the Federal Republic.
In the conception of the art he touches himself with the Berlin painters, in the execution, it differs significantly. Duve takes hardly any party, he paints what he sees. And because he only registered, it seems the reality itself, which can be seen as a world of contradictions. Duve is the people of from the Western affluent society, its numbing and lethargy, his alienation in a material seemingly safe world in which even the protest has become the part of the consumer sector. Johannes Grützke belongs to those representatives of the new realism, who largely forgo a social relation in painting. In his Berlin studio he is committed to the craft diligence of old masters. An image occupies him for months, hardly a detail, which he painted over not four or five. Grützke works on nature, and because he found himself particularly well managed, he is often model. High artistic standards, combined with self-irony and playful elegance: a nice understanding of self that is not very often found in the German art scene.
This information: Airport 2000 Advanced perspectives on the Dutch capital Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport has invested money and sophisticated technology, to its reputation as one of the world's leading air terminals to Polish up and to meet the increased advent of jumbo jets. The gate was equipped with an electronic control system, which guaranteed the pilots precise maneuvering in the connecting tunnel. Treadmills and escalators, a simplified clearance procedure, short walk to car park and railway - tags for the perfected service at the passenger. It takes into consideration the believers among the tourists in Schiphol: they can in a prayer room retreat before they entrust themselves to the transport technology of the 20th century. Each year 18 million passengers - so calculated the Planner for the expansion of the Dutch national airport - should be the beneficiaries of the increased service standards – and so many they need also to cover the costs.
This sport: Helicopter of miniature first helicopter designers had more than a decade needed to master the complicated flight technology of the rotorcraft. Ambitious model flight athletes took advantage of the technical solutions for their mini aircraft. They imprisoned the most important design elements on a small scale by and made high-fidelity models that they released these days in the Dutch village Eibergen to their first international Championship in the air. In front of 1000 spectators, the aircraft in the competition program completed after kind of great: slalom flying with weights and landing manoeuvres - helicopter usual accidents included: because the vulnerability of the small helicopter is the same as for the large patterns: the interplay between head and tail rotor. And this is the first world champion of the radio-controlled model helicopter. His pilot - a German - want to undercut soon also the long distance world record in this class with him. Then, he would continue as 55 km and longer than a three-quarter hours fly.
