Rather attractive steam engine print block - I can see women of a certain type making rather charming fabric for retro skirts out of this.

This is great! I’m not sure I fully understand what we are looking at but it’s great. How is this working OP? The science museum have thousands of unseen images and we get a random one? Sorry if it’s obvious to others. I’m not well so my brains not sharp this week!

Brilliant thread! Thanks Grin

Not sure what it does, off to try and find out.....

@OhYouBadBadKitten

I dunno what this is.
It’s a Hedges fusible cutout with mica foil fuse.

Happy to help Grin

Now what it is for is the 67000 dollar question!

viques · 17/01/2021 22:27

It seems a shame if these amazing things are only shown once after the Science Museum has gone to the trouble of uploading them. Perhaps they will start the random sequence again when all the objects have had a viewing.

I think the idea is that they have worked out which of their digitised collection has never been shared to the internet before. You can actually view their entire digitised collection without using the randomised never seen before button via a different link. But this is much more fun, It's like digging for fossils, sort of, a tiny bit.
