02. Poland: Ice sailing breakdown from El Mundo 598 / 5 - same section. Grinding the metal runners. Start by many sailors of ice on a frozen lake. Various impressions.

03. Berlin: industrial robotics research at the TU Berlin in robotic arm for installation. A man monitors everything. Ashtrays are manufactured with the help of a robot and computer. Prof. Dr. G. Track sits at the table: a robotic arm grabs a beer bottle and pouring beer the professor. Prof. Dr. G. track half total, sitting speaks interview about industrial robots: "this is Of course only a small gag, we thought of, to demonstrate the versatility of an industrial robot. Such devices must be recently used in the industry to replace difficult hazardous monotone work processes with such devices to relieve the people of operations that we assess as low operations."

In review: Winter 1973-1929 autumn mood in Western Europe - an all winter long. Snow and Frost are left out this time. Nostalgia about the freezing point: not even the winter are more what they once were. About 1929, when Europe had turned into a bizarre landscape of ice.
27 degrees below zero: off the North Sea coast and the rivers to ton Quardern the ice piled up. In the Dutch Scheveningen, the better world by the memory of the last beach flirting was warm.
Pyromaniac can their hobby particularly intensive in severe frost operate - undisturbed by the noise To try of the fire brigade, who at 20 degrees below zero effort to To find water for their hoses. From Leiden's Town Hall, 1929 only the facades remained standing.
For work and homeless, the municipalities made a fire on the road and made public heat indoor. Despite many hardships and privations: Still an attraction - at least for the children, unencumbered by the concerns of adults searched for her pleasure and found was the winter.
The exact runners touch can bring several km/h.
Europe's ice sailors: they beat down the mild winter and retreating from Eastern Europe. Held in North Germany met the best ice sailing of the world in Poland to their title fight.
Hard ice, a stiff breeze: 2 quintals heavy sailing sledges leave also a racehorse - in the short term, they reach a speed of 130 kilometres per hour.
Individuals sitting at the tiller with a sense for an exclusive pastime. The experts among them are tech-savvy athletes who need to calculate the wind as well as the friction and adhesion of the runners.

This technology: industrial robots industrial robots on the rise. Increasingly, these work machines that automatically manage objects, penetrate into our world of work. Help to streamline the production and automate — especially in the so-called minimum. A Department of the Technical University of Berlin in Germany among the trailblazers this new production technology. The Institute for machine tools and manufacturing technology has - developed practical workflows as shown here using the example of an ashtray - in which a robot programmed by computer - replace the people can relieve in an industrial society, which is determined by labor shortages, rising labour costs and the compulsion to higher productivity.
In the Technical University of Berlin, the automatic factory is planned tomorrow. The working man - freed from the monotonous working cycle of the machine: also a socio-political vision that track animates the Berlin team of technicians and its head Professor.
Prof. Dr. G. Track: "this is Of course only a small gag, we thought of, to demonstrate the versatility of an industrial robot. Such devices must be recently used to be replaced by such devices in the industry difficult hazardous monotone work processes to relieve the people of operations that we assess as low operations."
Industry Roborter - a chance to automate our work world does not Go ahead, but to make them also human.

This sport: Champion in the Sulky of Hamburg's new Trabrennbahn of superlative lures at its premiere with a special offer: the Sulky driver's Championship.
