Transportation of Eggs.
People tend to forget that the egg was one of the hardest commodities to transport, it was easy enough to go from the root to the home with the basket. The problems started initially on the carts and waggons and the age old problem was solved with the development of the egg carton.
The invention of the train demanded the development of wooden racks and waggons designated just for eggs with ceiling vents, these were usually painted white to start with and later blue and white. What had been gained here went on to trucks and vans, as long as the eggs could not move to much they stayed intact.
Today with the cartons, accidents will still happen but new development in controlled cooling allows the egg to have a slightly longer life to enable it to travel longer distances than ever before!
HAPPY EASTER.

The RBY Family.
Israeli Combat Vehicles.
This is the week before Easter a Christian affair with its roots in the land of Israel. Israel since its establishment as a state over 65 years-ago has had to defend itself from all of its neighbours and several other further afield hostile Islamic nations.
Initially the Israelis converted captured and world war-II vehicles and tanks to various other vehicles for minelaying, engineering and recovery types. Despite the united States being the largest and main supplier of technology, gaps in the field remained.
In the 1970's Israel developed a multi-task vehicle system known as the RBY Mk.1 Armed Reconnaissance Vehicle. it was a low height armoured personnel carrier capable of carrying 2+6 and there were several other variants made available Recoilless rifles and anti-aircraft guns.
The vehicles were really designed to cope with the terrain in the region and be a fill in to larger vehicles. They also played their part in the border police role and anti-terrorism.
Spain has supplied jeep types to Israel to supplement the RBY roles and then in the 1990's many British Land rovers were supplied for this role also and known as the Dav'id.
