Essay - July 8, 2015

I would like to write something as it is just I'm feeling. At this moment, I'm not sure what will be written. To write as I'm feeling is interesting for me. I look forward to reading this when it finished.

Okay, well.. what is the first one I'm feeling now? I'm on a train which is a little crowded but not so much. Recently I'm taking trains in various time, not in regular time, to go to work. I realized I can see many interesting things every morning if I'm in such a way. Taking a same train everyday must be easy and efficient for many people, I think. But I found it is a little bit boring to me, but taking different train in each morning gives me many chances to see/hear various things in which I may be going to be interested. Sometimes I can see an incident, sometimes I can see a person/people, sometimes I can hear music, and sometimes.. Well.. so, what I want to say now is I'm excited every morning thinking what would happen today.

By the way, I was in the morning when I was writing this essay, until the last sentence. But now I'm in the evening of the same day.

And now, then, I'm in the morning of next day. I'm on a train which is different from the one on yesterday. Well.. so, what I want to say is.. again, I'm excited.. Ahh. What I do want to say is that one day has passed so quickly. Every moment is precious and there is no time to waste .

To tell you the truth, two days passed already since I started writing this essay.

Time flies, how fast!

Thank you.

Essay [ 随想録 ] - 0003

This time, I'm writing my essay in English.

What will I write about?

Ummm...

Okay... About Cranes.  It's not cranes as the bird but cranes as the material handling machine/equipment.

I'm not sure whether you know my ex-job or not, but I was a mechanical designer/engineer of Cranes.  I had been designing cranes such as climbing crane/tower crane for building construction, shipyard crane for shipbuilding, crane for dam construction, overhead traveling crane in works/factory, ladle crane in ironworks, container crane, unloader, shiploader, etc.  I could study lots of things in my ex-job, not only mechanical design but also structural strength calculation, frame structure, material, production process, inspection, safety, patent, R&D... yeah, so many things.  I believe my engineering skill was improved so much in my ex-company.  I really appreciate I could do it in the field of the heavy industries. 

Please let me show you some photos of cranes I like.

Climbing crane / Tower crane for building construction

Shipyard crane for Shipbuilding

Overhead traveling crane for Works/factory

Ladle crane for Ironworks

Container crane

Climbing crane for Dam construction

and....




Crane flying in the air

These machines (and bird) have functional beauties, don't they?  Good functions mostly have good designs.

I feel the power from the field of Heavy Industries such as shipbuilding, material handling equipment, power plant, bridge, aircraft production, devices for space development, etc.  It makes me get excited.  I love the Heavy Industries.

Thanks.
