Glenn Research Center. The big one is the Altitude Wind Tunnel. Looks a bit different nowadays.

This aerial photograph shows the entire original wind tunnel complex at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory. The large Altitude Wind Tunnel (AWT) at the center of the photograph dominates the area. The Icing Research Tunnel to the right was incorporated into the lab’s design to take advantage of the AWT’s powerful infrastructure. The laboratory’s first supersonic wind tunnel was added to this complex just prior to this September 1945 photograph. The AWT was the nation’s only wind tunnel capable of studying full-scale engines in simulated flight conditions. The AWT’s test section and control room were within the two-story building near the top of the photograph. The exhauster equipment used to thin the airflow and the drive motor for the fan were in the building to the right of the tunnel. The unique refrigeration equipment was housed in the structure to the left of the tunnel. The Icing Research Tunnel was an atmospheric tunnel that used the AWT’s refrigeration equipment to simulate freezing rain inside its test section. A spray bar system inside the tunnel was originally used to create the droplets. The 18- by 18-inch supersonic wind tunnel was built in the summer of 1945 to take advantage of the AWT’s powerful exhaust system. It was the lab’s first supersonic tunnel and could reach Mach 1.91. Eventually the building would house three small supersonic tunnels, referred to as the “stack tunnels” because of the vertical alignment. The two other tunnels were added to this structure in 1949 and 1951.

Photograph of the Canadian National Library on Parliament Hill the day after a fire consumed parliament in 1916.

The Library was saved because the Librarian ran back in to seal the iron doors that connected it to the rest of the complex.

Still nobody knows who started the fire, but they think it might have been german spies.

The Eastern Europeans never really came close to the West in terms of architecture. Italy, France, and England really take the prize here.

There are a few good theatres here and there, and the Russians did pretty good but mostly it's crap. Just concrete rectangles.

A library is literally a (publicly avaiable) archive.

Archives are meant to store documents, not to share them. That's why archives take much less space, human resources and money to maintain them.

>>723691331
Why don't those people use internet? Because they don't have it? Well excuse me, but I believe is someone doesn't have the access to the internet then they don't have the access to a library either.

>>723691702
What the fuck does the internet have to do with reading a book?
If you are talking about E-books you can go fuck your self, those are shit. Nothing compares to a physical book. And a lot of books isn't available in e form.

>>723691174
not everything is digitalised yet
they ARE archives
you can work better with actual paper books than a bunch of screens

>>723691702

You obviously have never been in a library, never touched and read a book that has been written in 1765...

I don't know the exact numbers but I'd say not even 10% of all human knowledge that has been published on paper has been digitalized yet.

It is important for society to have people get access to knowledge.

>>723691702
Yup, I was right, you are an idiot.

I don't have the time to explain all the ways in which you are wrong, but here are just a few reasons:

All libraries have archiving as part of their missions, and a huge portion of that budget is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the material in their care. Have you even ever been to a university?

What exactly is the point of preserving stuff, if you aren't going to let people access it?

Not all books are digitized. I know this is surprising for somebody who is 14, but it's true.

Some people prefer to use physical copies of books. In fact, physical sales of books have gone up in recent years despite digitization, not down.

Bookbinding is an art from, and it's works deserve to be displayed just like any other.

"I believe is someone doesn't have the access to the internet then they don't have the access to a library either."
Not even going to touch that one.
