"Casing: A Journey Through Time and Conflict" Step into the world of casing, where remnants of battles and technological advancements intertwine. From the trenches of World War I's Battle of Champagne to the nuclear weapon display showcasing the sheer power of Tsar Bomba, these spent shell casings bear witness to history. In Vietnam, an American artilleryman discards a shell casing ejected from a 105mm Howitzer in the central highlands. March 1967 echoes with memories of war as this discarded casing symbolizes both destruction and resilience. Traveling across Europe, Bosnia reveals its scars through scattered casings left behind by conflicts that tore nations apart. Similarly, during the Korean War in South Korea, U. S. Artillerymen fired their 105mm howitzers on North Korean positions near Uirson – each expended shell casing marking another step towards victory or defeat. World War II saw Royal Air Force metal workers meticulously crafting casings for aircraft munitions while Harland and Wolff's gatehouse wall clock silently witnessed shipbuilding efforts in Belfast. The Engineer's bound volumes from 1910-1911 hold secrets to engineering marvels that shaped our world. Delving deeper into innovation, Price's rotary digger emerges as a testament to human ingenuity – cutting tunnels beneath cities for various purposes. Meanwhile, Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza stands tall against time; its ancient stones reminding us that even centuries ago, casings played a role in construction. Lastly, France mobilized her industrial resources during times of conflict - pointing shells for 75s in private factories became crucial tasks captured by The Illustrated War News (litho). And amidst it all lies a marine steam turbine captured forever in black and white photography - an emblematic representation of progress driven by technology. Casing tells stories beyond words; it encapsulates moments frozen in time - be it on battlefields or within workshops filled with relentless dedication.
