| Bicycle tools |
I am glad
seeing the bicycle exhibit in an automobile museum, displaying completely assembled bicycles as well as the bicycle parts
and tools.
There are few
different types of bike frames, handles, headlights and dozens of long gone bike
manufacture’s head marks. Seeing these old bike maintenance tools brought a smile on my face. Despite the technological evolutions over the decays some of the tools were still in use and seen in the today's modern bike shops. For me as a bike enthusiast, there is no complaint spending hours like these exhibit.

自動車の博物館の中に自転車が、完成車とともに部品や工具も含めて展示されているのは嬉しいものです。
事な多種類の自転車のフレームやハンドル、ヘッドライト、そして何十というメーカーのヘッドマークも展示されています。今でも自転車屋さんで使われているような専用工具までもが展示されているのを見るとつい笑みがこぼれてしまいます。
自転車乗りなら、この手の展示ではしばらく見とれてしまいますね。

It is a great idea to utilize the baggage
pickup space for promoting the local attractions for the city visitors. At the Calgary International Airport, several
tourists attractions, such as, Spurge Meadows, Zoo, Royal Tyrell Museum, Fort Calgary
and so on were introduced with fun looking attractive three dimensional
figures. For the first time visitors,
this display would encourage to visit some of these locations.
荷物受け取り場所を地元の観光地のプロモーションに利用する事は大変良いアイデアと思います。カルガリー国際空港では、スプルージ・メドゥ、動物園、ロイヤルティレル博物館、カルガリー砦等の観光地を楽しい立体フィギュアーで紹介しています。初めて来た旅行客でも、この展示を見れば足を伸ばそうと思うに違いありません。
In Japan, you will find many tactile way finding maps installed in various
public places, especially near train stations. In this picture at the east entrance of Kawagoe
station, the tactile map is located beside the elevator that guiding the
visually impaired people where the bus stops are. It is obvious that this map has been well
used because which surface is ware out quite a bit.
