Where is this, and what building is it..?

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #251 on:** January 19, 2008, 04:23:56 »

The Solent, it's the Marchwood Incinerator.

saltydog · « **Reply #252 on:** January 19, 2008, 04:25:32 »

Do you have another name for it, cause that's not what it said on the map..

Just kidding, you're right..

ps on the map it said Energy Recovery Facility, same thing I guess..

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #253 on:** January 19, 2008, 05:12:16 »

I didnt look on the map to be honest, but yeah, same thing.

Well then.. a new one.. hmm.. lemme see..

What is the old name of the vessel in the picture? Where can it be found in the game? And who made this model?

saltydog · « **Reply #254 on:** January 19, 2008, 05:23:00 »

The old name is the Coromuel, of Sematur
Built in 1973 by Jos L Meyer Papenburg in Ems
I don't know where she may be found in the game..

edit: in the game she may be found in Marseille harbour, at La Joliette ..

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #255 on:** January 19, 2008, 05:31:24 »

Well, the name is correct..
And you might find out the other two relatively easy, now you know what word to put into the searc... uhm.. never mind...

And "who built the model" is meant like: who built the ingame model of her, not the real ship. I might have not made that clear enough, my bad.

Here's an easy one..

How many steering wheels do you count on the Titanic..?

mvsmith · « **Reply #257 on:** January 19, 2008, 09:18:38 »

My question on the number of fire extinguishers on Ocean Star was never answered. I donâ€™t mean to insert it back in line, but if someone would like to answer as a sidebarâ€¦
Also this side question: On what vessel do you find a counterclock?
Regards,
Marty

I count two wheels on Titanic; not counting the user interface wheel.

Hey, sorry but what is a "counterclock"? I coudn't find this word in a dictionary english/french?

LucAtC · « **Reply #259 on:** January 19, 2008, 14:09:09 »

Hello Marty,
When were fire extinguishers invented? Has that something to do with you fifi question?

Regards,
Luc
The French wiki gave no history of fire extinguishers, but well the English one. So, they existed...

I'm not sure what a counterclock is, but I have a hunch it's on the Red Eagle..

Good morning Guys,
Fire extinguishers are FIre FIghting equipment too.
You will know what a counterclock is when you see it.
Good luck,
Marty

I know what it looks like, it runs "anticlockwise", but the numbers are reversed, so the 1 becomes 11 etc.
It think it has to do with navigation...

Wrongâ€¦wrongâ€¦wrong! Itâ€™s a clock that sits on the counter!

Now, how about the fire extinguishers?

There are 2 counterclocks on the "Pride of Rotterdam", one for each engine. They are the engine revolution indicators immediately in front of the Helmsmans position. The two dials with red needles above the rudder indicators one on each side of the electronic chart.

maybe that

mvsmith · « **Reply #268 on:** January 20, 2008, 00:06:48 »

The real counterclock, as you can see from the picture, tells time. If it donâ€™t tell time, it aint no clock.

here is a Church clock

But a new question had bin nice

mvsmith · « **Reply #270 on:** January 20, 2008, 02:57:30 »

I guess itâ€™s time to answer my questions:
There are, by my count, 12 fire extinguishers on Ocean Star. In counting them, you would have found the counterclock on the starboard side aft of the helipad. A counterclock is a clock whose numbers and hands run counterclockwise.

Could you tell us what it's for ? (other than telling the time for drunken sailors, that is..

)

mvsmith · « **Reply #272 on:** January 20, 2008, 08:32:20 »

In this case, itâ€™s not for anything. It is what it is, a clock that is backwards. The modeler apparently simply mirrored the port side and used it for the starboard.

marcstrat · « **Reply #273 on:** January 20, 2008, 11:08:25 »

That clock is made,for seaman!!!
it counts down the time that they have to serve onboard,before they can go home.
