Posting Pictures
![[Deleted User]](https://openforum.hetclub.org/applications/dashboard/design/images/defaulticon.png)
I now have digital pictures of my Pacemaker. I have permission to post them on the photo section of this web site.
However, they are all too large. My camera does not take pictures that have less resolution to make smaller files.
Any suggestions on how the reduce the file size and still keep as much detail as possible?
Thanks............................Ed

usually once you've put them on your computer assuming you have a current version of windows you should be able to use a pulldown menu or right click on a photo in a file folder and click "Edit" and then find a pulldown menu that says "Resize" and you can shrink or enlarge a picture either by dimensions or by pixles. Good sizes for posting online pictures are 640 X 480. Or 300 dpi (dots per inch) .0

Some of the advice listed above is not correct. The "300 DPI" does not apply to any kind of web image viewing. Perhaps if you were going to print the pictures, then dpi comes into play, but with our 72 dpi (PC) and 96 dpi (mac) world on the computer (for web posting) dpi is not that important. Most times people misuse the idea, mainly because they don't understand resolution. All of my pictures are posted at 96 dpi (or last time I checked the default settings in photoshop...) Check them out on the links at the bottom of my signature, and tell me what you think...
here's a failsafe way to get it done...
open file in photoshop, click image, click image size, under pixel dimension, change the width and height pulldowns to percent, and reduce to a percentage where the pixel dimension is less than 1Meg. ( this seems to be a happy medium for web viewing) click okay, then save file as (whatever you want to call it). If it is a jpeg, save it as a 6-8 image quality.
done!0 -
Thank you.

What is the name of the boomerang shaped piece in the pictures above? I can not find it in the Repair or Parts manual.
I know it is part of the throttle linkage.
I also need to replace the srping that is the picture. It broke. I guess 60 years is too much for spring.0 -
A throttle pivot perhaps.0

I believe it is called a bellcrank but I won't swear to it...0

You are correct. Not many people know that anymore.

The Parts Manual for some reason doesn't list the '50 Pacemaker throttle linkage, but the spring looks to be a universal throttle return spring you can get at your local auto parts store.0 -
I also have to believe that the specific bellcrank pictured must be a short wheelbase only item, maybe this one is 50 only.....0

This is the 4 door model.
Pictures forthcoming now that I now what to do with them.0 -
One more time please. I want to show a picture such as the one of the bell crank but when I click on the little yellow icon above it ask me to "Please enter the url of your image". I shows the http// but I want to use a pic from my computer. Should I just type over the http// with the file name that is in my computer rather than the internet location?

Nope. They are looking for the URL of an image already posted on the internet somewhere! You can't directly upload there.
There IS a way to upload directly to the Forum but it only allows photos of a very small resolution so is practically useless.
Best way is either to post to Classiccar's own Photo Gallery (see the link at the very top of this page) or to the Hudson Photo Album Site at http://groups.msn.com/HudsonEssexTerraplaneBulletinBoard/_whatsnew.msnw . Then you're not so limited as to the size of the photo. When you've done that, grab the URL of the photo and post in the space that opens when you hit the little yellow icon. (To ascertain the URL of the photo, just place cursor on photo, right-click, then left-click on the PROPERTIES in the window that opens. When the properties box opens, copy the Address (URL) and then paste it in the URL space provided on the posting form.0 -
OK, lets try it.

I don't disagree with my friend Jon often, but I do this time. The forum posting works well and is easy to use.
1. Select the photo in your computer that you want to post.
2. Your photo needs to be sized to be posted, as has been noted elsewhere in this thread. You can post quite a large photo 4 x 5 inches at least if it is saved at 72 or 96 dpi. You have up to 95kb to use. How do you find out how many kilobytes your photo is? If you hold your cursor over it (or its icon), a box should come up giving you this info. If not, right click on your photo and click on "properties" in the dialoge box. Your size info will appear.
3. As you create your post, look below for "Additional Options." Click on "Manage Attachments." A new, smaller box will appear, giving you the opportunity to post your photo from your computer (top line) or from a URL (bottom line.)
4. Using the top line, click on "browse" and find your photo. Click on your photo and its location address will appear in the box provided. Then click on "upload." If your photo is too big, the forum will tell you. Close this box. In the "Additional Options" box (below), your photo's name will appear in red below "Attach Files."
5. When you're finished typing your message, click on "submit reply" and your photo will appear on the forum.
6. Note: you can post more than one photo at once, but if you post too many they will only appear in your posting as links that the reader needs to click on to see.
7. The photo posted below is 70kb. It shows on my computer as "672 x 401, 70kb" when I check its size before posting. Hope this helps. :cool:0 -

no, doors are not related to wheelbase on stepdown hudsons.
Commodores, Supers and Hornets are 124"
Pacemakers and Wasps are 119"
jet 105"
sedans whether 2 or 4 door had more interior room and a shorter decklid
the wheelbase was shortened between the front wheel and firewall. this is why the firewall on wour pacemaker is recessed to accomodate the engine block0 -

If you have your own dedicated web space, it doesn't matter how big the photos are....0 -
Here's a pic I just got from my sister. Pictured is my Grandfather (Eugene Faust) who some of you may have known, and my older brother. My best guess is about 1970.
Note: The sedan in the background is my 1950 Pacemaker, which was bought new by my Grandfather.

Sorry about the size... Should have previewed post

Thanks Matt.. Your familiy has always been super... Granddad looks just like papa ED.0 -
Great Photo. Who owned the Coupe?0

My dad owned the 49 Brougham in the foreground. He sold the car in upstate NY around 1975. I know the car only from pictures.

What a great family picture! Looks like grandpa was trying to get your brother to look at the camera.
I'd like to comment on how these photos show just how smooth and clean these cars were when they were new.
We all have to deal with dinged up and/or missing stainless trim - look how perfect these look on this car!
Also notice the alignment of the sheet metal - specifically the areas around the pinchwelds on the edges of doors and front fenders.
Rust/Ice had not pushed these edges out which is what makes
old cars difficult to get straight - but that's another topic!
Thanks for sharing!0 -

In the photo, was Grandfather:
A. Telling your brother not to cry, that he too might own a Hudson one day.
B. Threatening to drive him around in a Chevy.
C. Fortelling the price of gasoline in the future.
D. Asking your brother how he would feel about the coupe being sold.0 -
Most likely something like this;
E. If you mess up this Hudson, I will make you ride in the trunk of a Chevy and you will never see a Hudson again!

Ooops, forgot that one. But that would be enough to make any Hudson fan cry.:D0 -
Cool photo. I wonder if the lady is from the states and is reading the owners manual trying to find out why her steering wheel is on the wrong side.0

Ok, you guys make it sound like even I can do this. I'm gonna give it a try.
