    ROLLER COASTER
    February 5, 1901 - Boynton's Centrifugal Railway U.S.A.

    An improved loop-the-loop centrifugal railway was patented by Edwin Prescott of Arlington, Mass. (U.S. No. 667,455). He had installed at Coney Island in 1900, named as Boynton's Centrifugal Railway. It had a 75-ft incline and a 20-ft-wide loop. This patent was to improve on his previous patent for a roller coaster with a purely circular loop (16 Aug 1898, No. 609,164), The early constant-radius circular shape resulted in an uncomfortable shock to passengers as the car entered the loop. The new design was made to offer more comfort by varying the radius of the curve of the loop. The entry point of the loop began with a greater radius. The radius decreased toward the horizontal diameter of the loop. The patent also covered other details of coaster construction.

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.
