It's a matter for sad and regret to see the destroyed cities in the Middle East that is exactly the same as the historical European cities after the WW2. Destructions repeat because of the chain of hatered, how come. Differences in relisions, words, races, ideology can be the good reason to kill each other? We did the same for thousands of years, do we repeat again?
All the people in the War storm are giving up to live in peace so friendly?
Continue stupid struggle again until being exhausted based on thousands death?

100th anniversary concert was held last evening at Hyogo Performing Arts Center Hall, KOBELCO Hall. It goes without describing that Ashiya Symphony Orchestra lasting half a century is not an ordinary group but all the member are amateur with professional talent. Employing the conductor, Mr. Takuo Yuasa, their skill is making remarkable progress year by year without doubt. The program must have selected under deeper consideration as the cerebration. Fanfare to open the 100th concert was performed.

Especially, improvement of the strings were marvelous with good transition, melody, rhythm and harmony were well balanced. All the instrument were played at nearly saturation revel with threatening energy.

The audience in KOBELCO Big Hall must have enjoyed utmost last night.

Next ASO regular concert is going to be held on November, 16th, Sunday!

An old Nikon wide angle lens was obtained the other day, AI Nikkor 28mm/f3.5 model as clogged helicoid junk at only one yen as a void. After arriving at hand from Yahoo seller, careful checking with no desire revealed that no fatal defeat except small mold on the outer side of frontal glass surface and sticked helicoid, no historic used ugly ware. Engraved letters on the focus ring were clean and clear like new. Deep consideration to recover it's performance led me to put it on the electric room heater for a moment, of course removing rubber ring. As a matter for surprising focusing ring started to move so gradually, grease adhesion was released safe. It proved that it could be continue without disassembling. Though I had no information about this lens, actual test shooting showed excellent result in atmospheric resolution. I have been paying attention only on Minolta MD 28mm/f2.0 and 28mm/f3.5, but this Nikon new comer would be a good partner.

All the complicated vacuum control on the distributor equipped in '71 VW Super Beetle were killed and the result was incredibly excellent. Combustion firing timing at idle speed was set at BTDC 5 degree as a matter of fact. BTDC 5 degree is the most favorable idle speed advanced position to attain comfortable accelerating at middle speed.

All the advancing effect were done without vacuum advancer, only by mechanical centrifugal advancing construction.

Once the information that no vacuum advancing device is required, diaphragm construction for advancing control should be eliminated also nipples for the signals on the carburetor are closed.

I just remembered that I got 009 distributor tens year ago! Now have I no reason not to appear stage if it has no diaphragm vacuum advancer. Some information tells that mechanical signal coupling delayed 90 degree, so hi-tension cord connection must be changed.

Anyway, smooth transition while acceleration phase is the first requirement, it' a interesting task for tomorrow. Super Beetle never betray to keep a geriatric enthusiast.

Vintage VW Training Film shows well how to keep Air-cooled Beetle even now---over 50 years old production. Especially complicated distributor control after 1971 that is completely different from those before inviting Muskie Act for anti-pollution.
As a common sense, combustion firing timing is set around BTDC 10 degree, but VW introduced ATDC 5 degree with dash-pod device to prevent quick rotation down at idle speed. The purpose of additional device is nothing but excessive amount of Hydro Carbon and Carbon Oxide in exhausted gas. It was extremely difficult to implement countermeasures applying conventional equipment and service engineers had very hard time to adopt with new Road Transport Vehicles Act.
Actually, double diaphragm vacuum advancer, ATDC 5 degree at idle and delayed returning speed with dash-pod looked so strange.
Thank to such a strange and queer additions I was so disappointed by spilled drive feel so I remember as a clear memory. Combustion firing timing suffer and dull response brought very bad drive feel without discussions. It was often the case that characters of motor response differ completely around 1970.
Consequently, my Super Beetle need to know the most suitable firing timing setting though the point is shown between 4~7 degree in the scheme, the discrepancy 3 degree causes much disparity without doubt. Repeating test run by myself is the residual way.
By throttle opening at 1500 rpm to 2000 rpm, seeking the most stable timing might be the way.
"Establishing Maximum Combustion Efficiency Firing Timing" is the Goal. Small space of 11AD engine room is nothing but a Garden of Blis for me! As I hate the word "Tolerance", want I null pin point. Am I a fool?
