Cranelet!

In 2011, I was fortunate to be able to work at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Slimbridge, England on the Great Crane Project, which was a truly memorable and rewarding experience.

In brief, this consisted of hand rearing chicks of the Common Crane (Grus grus), the eggs of which had been collected in Germany by members of the team. We wore "crane suits" and fed the chicks with moulded and painted plastic "crane heads", in order to keep the chicks wild and unaccustomed to humans as eventually, they would be released onto the moors in Somerset as part of a UK conservation and reintroduction program.

This is one of the chicks from the 2011 Crane School. They were simply adorable, especially when they got to this ear tuft stage.

I am not sure which individual this was, but I hope he/she is thriving out on the moors in Somerset.

DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS


Posted on: 1995-09-28
Description
Air system blockage in the air dryer occurs degrading the moisture removing capabilities of the dryer when the vehicle is operated in a cold environment and moisture accumulates and freezes in the air dryer or in the line between the dryer and the air system reservoir.  The air dryer can become overpressurized causing the air dryer cartridge to separate from the mounting base.

Consequence
If the air dryer separates from the base, the cartridge can separate sufficiently enough to cause personal injury or property damage.

Corrective Action
Dealers will equip air systems with a pressure relief valve to be located between the compressor and the air dryer.  This pressure relief valve is intended to vent if excessive pressure develops in the air dryer.

Notes
System: brakes; air dryer.vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with rockwell wabco system saver 1000 air dryer.  Note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time, contact crane carrier at 1-918-836-1651.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
