Reflections of the World Grand Prix nostalgia famous racing cars 40 years ago met now nostalgic at the circuit of Salzburg: Bugatti, Mercedes silver arrow and other old glories of the automobile sport.
Great prize of the veterans. Today, as in the past, when still weren't "of yesterday", leave after themselves a penetrating smell of an explosive mixture of Castor and gasoline. The drivers of these cars have to put to the test their muscles to handle the steering wheel. And that yet and the current best path of the curves.
Again present in the Salzburg: the ex-world champ Fangio, Argentina, with a 2 litre Mercedes-Benz and a half.
The English, initiators of these veterans racing there in none of them.
In the Austrian circuit, the old rare models of 3- and 4-wheeled competition returned to attract and excite a wide audience of all ages. Humanitarian solidarity a day like any other in the port of Hamburg, main square of transshipment of maritime goods from the Federal Republic of Germany.
On this day is to load bound for Central America, to Santo Domingo, a modern ambulance.
The keys to the vehicle are handed over to the General Consul of the Dominican Republic in Hamburg, Oscar Lithgow-Guzmán. The ambulance is a donation from the German Foundation Latin America to his country, affected last year by the devastating hurricane "David". The population of the Federal Republic has also contributed to alleviate damage caused. The donated ambulance is a test of your sympathy and detachment. The vehicle is engaged in container for their Atlantic crossing: is one example of traditional good relations germano-dominicanas. Successful European co-production the head of State and of the party of China, Hua Guofeng, was another senior visitors interested in Hamburg-Finkenwerder by a famed work of modern technology: the "Airbus", European large-capacity aircraft, which became unsaleable gender conquer the world market in just two years. Many aviation companies queue for him: a situation for which the industry of the "Airbus" was not prepared. Components manufactured here and in other parts still being still in a special plane to the French Toulouse for final assembly.
Scattered places of manufacture and the long transport routes greatly limit the production and increase the costs. Hence, manufacturers of the "Airbus" now think of streamline and increase manufacturing. It is expected that commercial success is acompasará to the sale later in 1985, when to take its maiden flight 10 "Airbus" a month. Restorers of paintings in action of the Palacio of Kassel, just like most of the pictures of the palatial Gallery Garden, is the work of the vital and artistic concept of the Baroque.
Names global mind famous of that era are represented here, such as Rembrandt and van Dyck. And also former teachers, like Dürer and Cranach. For 60 years the paintings were stored in the dark. Which could again be exposed is also the art of the restorers of Kassel. These have gained fame by returning their primitive condition paintings damaged by the passage of the centuries. Location of footprints, each time a bit of detective work: the search for the original strokes of the master. Then the picture is preserved. For example, ironing roller on a waxed floss.
A new x-ray machine reveals the interior structure of the work. The hitherto unseen becomes visible: the first draft of the painter, its amendments and also subsequent attachments and repainted by other artists.
The restorers are important and will remain so. As harmful substances from industrial society not respect works of art. Our environment is much more dangerous than the epoch in which Rembrandt painted his pictures.
Music translated into images do not seek to increase the number of their fans, already countless. Simply try to introduce a new variant in its repertoire of classic, rock, accredited 12 years: the Dutch group "Ekseption" makes music also to see. Using a special video-sizer, "Ekseption" translates the "dance Khatchaturian Lightsabers in rhythmic images: a fascinating game of figures dancing, lightning, moons, spirals..."
