| Article Title :: Carwash Industry Innovations and Changes |
| |
| Many believe that a carwash is something you go to where you get out of your car, they vacuum, you pay and they put your car into a tunnel, lots of mechanism, they dry it, you tip and then leave. Yes that would be a carwash wouldn’t it? But that is not the only kind of car wash is it. There are coin-operated do-it-yourself carwashes, gas station roll-overs, touchless car washes.

With the long lines at the carwash it often appears the answer is, Not Enough!

I think the estimates are between 17,000 to 26,000 in US 50 states and 4 territories. And they say there are 35,000 Coin-ops. 35,000 rollovers. Now are there duplicates of rollovers at coin-ops? YES.

| Carwashes have lots of tanks both above ground and buried in the ground. If these tanks could be transparent the operators would not need as many expensive sonar or electronic eye sensors for their storage tanks. The problem with a complex set of sensors and computer system is the Murphy Factor, the more complicated the system is the more that can and will go wrong.There are endless applications for carbon nano tubes due to their strength and abilities to conduct electricity.

| Article Title :: AT LAST! Parking Meters Are Again Free on Sundays; Bloomberg Cries Foul! |
| |
| The New York City Council overwhelmingly voted to override a veto by
Mayor Bloomberg and repealed New York's Sunday parking meter law.
The vote was 42 to 2 and as a result, starting on Nov. 13th roughly
32,100 curbside parking spaces and another 4,500 in municipal lots will
be available to drivers on Sundays for free. The change will cost the City
over $12 million annually - even more the first year because
approximately 13,600 parking signs have to be changed. Mayor
Bloomberg claims that the new rule would "hurt stores that won't be
able to have their customers find parking" and even suggested that the
law would lead to stores firing workers. In his weekly radio program (read full article) |
