IN SEARCH OF OLGA ERNST

Robyn,
One member has found a book “Cincinnati Milling Machine; First 100 Years”, the approximate title. It contains a one page bio on Hans Ernst.
Ernst had over 100 patents at the time of publication. (Awesome). I will forward a copy of the bio as soon as I receive a copy. That will probably be the last bit of information from RESC.
Good luck on your search.
Regards,
Bob Haas

I did not know him personally, but a quick search reveals that he was Director of Research at Cincinnati Milacron, had many publications, and lived from 1892 to 1978. He wrote a book in 1942 that seems to be regarded as the “bible” of metal machining, and he is described at that time as “Director of Research”. He also held that position in 1950, according to a 1950 business directory. There is a reference to a milling machine originated by him in 1930 at Cincinnati Milacron, but no indication of his position at that time. ASME seems to have lots of information on him, including a biography, but for members only.

This is what I realized:
Throughout history there have been three kinds of people necessary in order to facilitate major change in any given society. The “butcher” is the person willing to take whatever action necessary, despite the implications or nature of the act, in order to cause or further change. The “baker” is the person who takes what he has, despite how little or how much that may be, and uses it to support the others in the cause. And last, but by no means least, the “candlestick maker” is the person who illuminates the darkened path leading to change, and who keeps a beacon of light constantly burning to light the way for others to follow.
Which one am I? Which one are you?

In Australian Fairytales: Twilight (not about vampires) a Beauty and the Beast fairytale set in Melbourne with a gorilla as the beast. Why a gorilla? Maybe one arrived at the new zoo. Check NLA and one did arrive in 1882 (few years earlier) but it was stuffed and on display at the National Museum at The University of Melbourne.

As a lover of the throw-out table and anything NQR – would love a white fluffy DG but the cream one was NQR and half price – its works as well – I have found OE on the throw out table in Coles Arcade in 1906. Book sold for 18 months and then it’s abandoned for 1/6-
Writing is hard – so much to say and research need to be painstaking.

They’ve hunted high and low but no info on Ernst but do I have some for them?

To my question are you Geoff Watcher?

GW, writer of book on Nobel Park that contained a reference gave me this snippet of info –

Ernst left Nobel Park because the ‘climate was too cold’. ‘Truth in that’ says Geoff- she was teaching in a timber hall that later was deemed not suitable for a school and they moved into St. Adens for a few years until the school was built.

What I labelled precocious and spoon-fed by adults in the way Ernst was dismissed as being guided by an ‘unseen hand’ was a probably highly gifted child. Green went on to win awards and write scholarly books on literature. His goblins were a clever paraphrase of what he’d been reading – English children’s books?????

From Monash Uni website:
Remember that writing is a thinking process

When we write, we often change or considerably develop what we think. Writing is not just translating into words the images of our thoughts; it’s not as simple as that. In writing, we may transform our thoughts, redefine them or, with great pain and effort, give shape to our ideas. Thus, it is important to give ourselves time to write.

It is also important to remember that writing is experienced differently by different people, and the processes they prefer are also different. Chandler (1994) categorises writers as:
Architects (those who consciously pre-plan and organise and do little revision);
Watercolour artists (who try to write a final draft on the first attempt – little revision);
Bricklayers (who revise at sentence and paragraph level as they proceed)
Oilpainters (who pre-plan little but rework text repeatedly)

At the moment I am a benchsitter-in-moonboot waiting for inspiration to descend.

200 fairytale collections and at least 6 written by frauleuns before Grimm’s famous collection and who’s heard about them?
The ‘Conte de fee’ gave fairytales their name as literati in the 17th century penned and tweaked folk tale images into new stories. Inventions! So what’s the fuss about Ernst’s fairies at the bottom of our Australian garden. Others had been inventing for years.
What can be more authentic than a little boy who finds the way to fairyland via a sunstroke attack – better (Aussie-effect) than going down a rabbit hole or being swept up in a tornado in Kansas?

A fractured foot allows some time to do some writing but wandering round – do I do intro or methodology ? Intro looks too familiar – think I’ve written those phrases too many times and methodology is boring.
Fairytales – a little research and I find that fairytales were literary inventions, archaicised to make them appealing and ‘folky’ – that women in Germany wrote over 200 collections before 1900. If Ernst invented Australian fairytales she was following a long tradition of invention.
