Thomas Newcomen and the Steam Engine Fairbottom Bobs, a Newcomen steam engine recovered from a mine site in Lancashire, England, was acquired in 1930 by the Henry Ford Museum, which says it is possibly the oldest extant steam engine in the world.
40 days without rain! Seattle 11 days from record dry spell. At Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah on Friday afternoon there were sitters, walkers and stand-up paddlers â and one not paddling. Seattle is close to breaking a record for uninterrupted dry weather, and the forecast is for dry weather into next week.
So, if a task is subject to weather and you expect 20% of the work days to be rained out (because the job is in Seattle, WA), consider loading resources on weather at risk tasks to only 80%. So now that 40 hour (5 day) task is going to show up with a duration of 6.25 days becuase of anticipated weather.
