This post goes for **[Qurator's Photo Quest. ](https://peakd.com/qurator/@qurator/qurators-photo-quest-or-technology)**
This week prompt was: "Technology".
I have a little dirty visual pleasure for you. The photo I took recently at the International Cars exhibition at St.Petersburg. There were a lot of kidz and nice shiny old cars restores... and this part if what have been left of the ones that were dismounted. Beautiful examples of the XX century technology.

It seems the said society members are outcasts, a minority, at least here on Hive. Nobody shares their posts to [Antique & Vintage](https://peakd.com/c/hive-132936) community, none of my posts are getting a decent evaluation ... stop, stop, seems I'm starting to whine, and I'd rather not say any more.
I better share another captures and nice example of old technology.

<p>This is a trolleybus chassis. The trolleybus itself was built in 1948, and lost its job in the late 1960s - for 30 years its body, without an engine, served in a secret Soviet military laboratory (served as a test object, hehe). Cannot be restored, the remaining parts were used as donors for the restoration of other old buses. But! The museum workers made a perfect use of what was left: they turned the chassis into an exhibit!</p>
<p>And believe me, I spent several hours next to it (with my camera ofc) - it turned out to be on of the exhibition highlights and most popular spots, always crowdy - there always was a line of children waiting for the opportunity to evaluate this device, sit in the driver's seat, touch a real steering wheel and turn it - thats worth a lot! There was also a brake, but most of the children did not get their feet up to it :) I made a lot of happy children's faces shots, the range of emotions written on them was eye-catching!</p>

<p>Это шасси троллейбуса. Сам троллейбус был построен в 1948 году, и потерял работу в конце 1960-х годов - 30 лет его кузов, без мотора, служил в секретной советской военной лаборатории (служил в качестве тест-объекта, хехе). Восстановлению не подлежит, оставшиеся в наличии части были использованы как доноры для восстановления других старых автобусов. Но! Музейные работники нашли прекрасное применение тому что осталось: они превратили шасси в экспонат! 
</p>
<p>И поверьте мне, я провел рядом с ним несколько часов (держа камеру в руках) - это был один из самых топовых и популярных экспонатов на выставке, очередь детей, ждущих возможности оценить это устройство, посидеть в кресле водителя, прикоснуться к настоящему рулю и покрутить его - стоит  многого!  Там был еще и тормоз, но у большинства детей ноги до него не доставали :) Я сделал немало кадров счастливых детских лиц, спектр написанных на них эмоций был вмечатляющий!</p>

{ You may check [my previous post about the cars exhibition](https://peakd.com/hive-168042/@qwerrie/2021-spb-ma-overview) here. I didnt dig specifically into the old-timers in that post, its is an account of everything I saw there. }

Now its time to do some other things. Now I gonna use a good old technology of scrambled eggs, a cast-iron pan will be included, too!
