Timing equipment wall Track launch trigger timer Swimming timing equipment, start trigger at the launch pad and stop trigger at the finish wall.

Photo finish ...... to ensure in deciding the winner by literally split second.

Love these, but you would think the Omega museum's display model would have crisper lugs. Keep it coming H, this is good stuff.
I'm really enjoying this and looking forward to the next instalments. That platinum chrono is really quite tasty too!
Thanks.......Next chapter will take a little bit longer because that's the biggest area (Space and Flight)
