    MOTORCYCLE
    November 10, 1885 - Cannstatt, Unterturkheim

    The world's first motorcycle, designed by Gottlieb Daimler, made its first significant test-run. Daimler's 17-year-old son, Paul, travelled from Cannstatt to Unterturkheim and back. Their “Reitwagen” had a wooden frame and wheels. A leather drive belt ran between the engine and large brass gears on the rear wheel. With no suspension on the wheels, the leather saddle gave a very uncomfortable ride, at a speed up to 12 km/hr. The single cylinder engine had a bore of 58mm, stroke of 100mm and a displacement of 264cc's. The engine gave 0.5hp at 700 rpm. Two very much smaller, spring-mounted outrigger wheels provided some stability. This was built as an experimental vehicle to test the new Daimler engine in a proof of concept, which was to power Daimler's first motorized carriage the following year.

    COMMERCIAL ATOMIC ENERGY
    November 10, 1960 - U.S.A.

    The first commercial atomic energy reactor, and the third in the U.S., produced power for distribution. This was the $57 million Yankee Atomic Electric Company's plant at Rowe, Mass., on the Deerfield River. The reactor achieved self-sustaining nuclear reaction on 19 Aug 1960. The pressurized light-water reactor produced 125,000 kilowatts of electricity. The company was formed by twelve New England utility companies which signed a contract with the Westinghouse Corporation as the principal contractor. It was permanently shut down on 26 Feb 1992, due to reactor vessel embrittlement, after more than 31 years of service. Decommissioning began in 1993.

The article features image converter software packages, especially a batch image converter aimed at processing a number of graphic files simultaneously.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

An image converter helps to create a photo or a graphic file of a different size or format, or to process large batches of images with one click. It is useful for web designers. Batch image converter software can help save a lot of time and effort. With the help of batch processing all graphic files can be processed in one single session. A lot of photographers shoot thousands of pictures in RAW format in a single operation. Though RAW pictures can nicely capture much information through the camera sensor, it is not possible to use the graphic files directly onto any web or software application, because all such applications require that the graphic files should be in GIF, JPG, and PNG to be watched.

Thus, it is exceedingly important to convert these pictures to a suitable format. As conversion of pictures separately needs much effort and time, everybody prefers to use batch image converter software to convert pictures from/to the required format. Since all images can be converted in a single process, you will save much time and effort. Web designers have to optimize images every now and then so that they can be uploaded on the website. Now there are many software packages useable on the market that convert photos at ease. If you would like to buy a batch image converter software package and you cannot decide which one to buy, then you should consider the following criteria:

- Check what image formats it can convert to.
- Make sure you understand how to deploy a tool. There is no point in purchasing software that you can never figure out how to use.
- Speed and accuracy is another criterion to be considered. It is quite obvious that people would like to purchase a batch image converter to save effort and time. Thus, it is supposed to perform quickly. During conversion or processing of pictures it must give you an accurate idea about the size of the final images and how they will look after conversion. It is always better to buy a package that provides an image and size preview.

- a batch image converter tool must convert pictures efficiently. There is no point in converting or resizing images if the final output images will be of poor quality.
- remember to search for customers' testimonials earlier deciding on a converter.
