Welcome to Hardhatengineer.com.
I am Varun Patel.
In this video, you will learn about Symbols and legend used in PFD and P&ID.
PFD and P&ID are also known as PFS and PEFS.
PFD is Process Flow Diagram.
P&ID is Process or piping & Instrument Diagram.
PFS means Process Flow Scheme and PEFS means Process Engineering Flow Scheme.
If you want to learn how to read P&ID and PFD, you must know the legend used in this
drawings.
So please watch the video till the end.
You can download this presentation for free.
The link is available in description.
Please subscribe to my channel because it helps me to increase my reach on YouTube and

So please subscribe.
In this video, I have tried to cover symbols that regularly used on the P&ID and PFD.
There are other symbols also you can check the full list of the symbol by visiting the
link given in the description.
I advised you before you start working in actual plant or construction project you should
check the project specific symbol library which is also known as P&ID lead sheets or
P&ID legend drawing.
P&ID symbols and level of information available on P&ID may change from company to company,
but more or less they provide similar information.
What P&ID or PFD symbol is?
P&ID symbols are graphical representation of physical equipment that installed on field.
There are few ISO and British standards available that provide symbols and best practices to
draw PFD and P&ID such as, ISA S5.1, BS 5070 and ISO 10628.
Pumps and Turbine P&ID Symbols Here you can see the symbols for various types
of rotary equipment such as centrifugal pump, vacuum pump and also positive displacement
pumps such as gear and screw types.
Last two symbols are of vertical pump and turbine.
P&ID Symbols for Compressor In this slide, you can see the symbols for
various types of the compressor such as reciprocating, centrifugal, rotary, liquid ring and turbine
driven.
Heat Exchanger P&ID symbol These are the symbols for the heat exchanger.
On drawing you can see both types of symbols are used the one on the right-hand side are
more frequent than the one on the left-hand side.
Symbols for Static Equipment and Distillation column
Static equipment are straightforward.
Vessel, drum, tanks, and furnace.
Here you can see the symbols for dome roof tank, fixed roof tank, and internal floating
roof tank.
In case of the tank is only floating roof than there will be no roof on this symbol.
There are two types of the tower are shown here, one with column internal, and the other
is without internals.
There are different types of internals are used in the column and for that different
symbols are used.
Here on this slide, you can see the different types of internal, such mist mat, pipe distributor,
liquid spray distributor, and trays.
Here on the bottom part of the column, you can see the vortex breaker, baffle plate,
packing bed and some other types of trays.
Line Symbols for PFD and P&ID This how various lines and connections are
shown on PFD and P&ID.
Main process lines are shown as dark black line whereas minor lines are shown as thin
black lines.
You can see the symbols for pneumatic, hydraulic and capillary lines also.
Electric signals are shown as a dotted line, and Electromagnetic signals are shown as a
wave on the solid line.
Symbols for Valves This is the trickiest part of reading P&ID
and PFD.
Here you can see the various types of valve symbols.
Now you are wondering what is tricky in this?
Have a look on this for a while in next slide you will realize why.
Ok, now look on this slide, yes these are also symbols for the valve.
Some of them are same but may are different.
If you remember that I have mentioned that P&ID symbols varies from company to company,
valves symbols are the one that changes most of the time.
So, if you are moving from one company to other, don't rely on your memory and refer
the lead sheets for symbols.
Lead sheets are the one that contains all the project or plant-specific symbols.
If you want to become an expert in valves and their function, you can buy my full course
on the valve in which I have covered more than 18 types of valves.
Yes, this is selling because that is how I pay the bills to produce the good quality
videos.
So please support by purchasing my courses.
The links are given in the description.
Symbols for instruments Now back to our symbols.
Here you can see the various instrument bubble.
In a process plant, more than 90 percent of instrument measured either pressure, temperature,
flow or level.
You can see the small table on the side which shows the first letter of the instrument.
Now the function of these instruments are either indicate, record, control or transmit
the measured value.
Here on this table, you can see the meaning of the first letter and subsequent letters.
You can hold the video to read all the letters and their meaning.
In next slide, I will tell you the meaning of the horizontal line on the instrument bubble.
1.
If there is a single horizontal line that means the instrument is located on the main
control panel and accessible to panel operator.
2.
No horizontal line means the instrument is installed in the field, near the process and
it is accessible to field operator.
3.
If there is a double horizontal line that means the instrument is installed on some
secondary satellite local panel in the field.
4.
The last type is instrument bubble with single dash horizontal line.
This symbol is used for instruments that are inaccessible in field or hidden or password
protected on the control system.
This is all about symbols used in PFS and PEFS.
With this knowledge, you are now ready to read P&ID and PFD.
In next video I will explain you how to read PFD and after that P&ID.

Rohingya children at risk during Myanmar refugee crisis - Duration: 4:26.
As the Rohingya refugee crisis in Myanmar continues to worsen, aid workers are struggling
to protect those most vulnerable among them—unaccompanied children.
In response, Child Welfare officers, UNICEF, and other charities have been setting up child-friendly
zones throughout the Bangladesh refugee camps.
These safe havens, such as those at Kutapalong Camp near Myanmar's border, offer extra
protection for children who've made this journey without family to help them.
According to U.N. estimates, more than half the refugees are children—and many of them are alone.
Many child refugees say they've witnessed family members brutally killed in village
massacres in Rakhine state.
A bullet killed my father when he went to the market during last year's violence.
This time they burnt my mother.
I was terrified and I hid in a paddy field when I saw a big group of people walking towards me.
I joined that group and came here.
According to Reuters, southwest Bangladesh's largest hospital said a third of the wounded refugees
are children.
Most of them injured by gunshots or bomb blasts.
The Rohingya are a poor, unrepresented Muslim minority who live in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar.
Myanmar has long denied citizenship to the Rohingya.
The current crisis began on August 25 after a group of Rohingya insurgents in Myanmar's
Rakhine state attacked more than 30 police stations, killing 12 officers.
Government security forces responded with
a crackdown on Rohingya villages, alleging rebels were hiding among the general population.
Since then, more than 410,000 Rohingya civilians have fled their homes.
Many have accused state security and Buddhist mobs of attacking them indiscriminately,
burning their houses, and worse.
Myanmar President Aung San Suu Kyi has refuted these claims, blaming terrorists for an
"iceberg of misinformation" about the violence.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman has said China will help its neighbor
"… uphold internal stability and development."
To reach safety in neighboring Bangladesh, refugees have crossed treacherous jungles,
mountains—and rough seas in the Bay of Bengal.
All during the height of monsoon season.
While Bangladesh has made efforts to accommodate the refugees, there are shortages of food,
water, medicine and shelter.
At many camps, there is little or no sanitation.
In addition to the UN's child protection zones, UNICEF says there are nearly
three dozen mobile units in Bangladesh.
Each of them offers health care, and provides games and educational materials.
They're also staffed with teachers and counselors to provide emotional support.
Such resources may not be enough.
Over a 48-hour period at Kutupalong in September, more than 2,000 children came through just
a single 'safe zone'.

Three Unique Instagram Marketing Techniques - Duration: 3:37.
Hi I'm Mike from hopper HQ, the Instagram planning and scheduling tool and today
we bring you three totally unique techniques for Instagram marketing. As
Instagram marketeers we're all striving for that additional bit of engagement,
but why don't we turn that engagement into adventure and take our audience on
a journey with us whilst giving them back the control. Back in 2015 Old Spice
had run a brilliant campaign which took their users on a journey through
various different Instagram accounts, where at each stage the plot thickened
within the narrative and they were able to choose which action to take. In this
scene for example, you can either drink the lemonade or decline the lemonade and
that would each take you into a different scenario where you could then
control what you ended up doing. A really really interesting way of engaging with
your audience and taking people onto a journey where you could ultimately
decide where they end up. This is a great way of engaging our audience beyond the
norm and because it's not really done by many people, if you are offering this
journey to your followers then you'll probably get a lot more interaction than
what you usually would do. The best thing is that it all leads to the call to
action which you can be a lot more specific,
whether that's visits in your main branded account a website or to comment
or engage in some sort of way. So for so many visual brands Instagram has now
become the online catalog. A lot of people are actually prioritising
it over their website. So next up we've seen a brand that take's that really
to the extreme and turn their whole Instagram account presence into a
catalog. Back in 2014 IKEA created this interactive catalog which enables people
to go through the different sections of products they have, and using Instagrams
tagging feature enables people to go deeper into the products they have
available, and ultimately take them to ways of going onto the site and buying
the individual stars of the show. Now obviously that is a lot
of effort to get loads of different accounts all branded nicely and
connected but the experience that you can give your audience from that is
incredible. Also, all of the individual accounts can have a call to action
link in bio to that specific product so it's a great way of really driving
people from your Instagram to a specific action. Finally, we have a unique way of
looking at our Instagram account as a whole. Now all of us Instagram marketeers
know that as well as each individual image and posts looking amazing, the whole
account needs to be a really aesthetically pleasing. But what if you
take that one step further. Reynolds kitchen have created a
beautiful super long feed of all of their different products in the
situation which actually matters to their audience, they've created a really
long table like structure which has lots of different content and information of
how to use their products in different environments. Some of them are just flat
images and some of them are actually videos with recipes and other ways to
engage with the content. Now the best thing about the Reynolds kitchen account
is it will always be on Instagram serving its purpose as a website as an
experience and a fantastic way of displaying all of their products. The
only danger you have here is Instagram are now discussing potentially changing
that 3x3 grid which obviously means all of this hard work will not quite be
displayed in the right way. So there you have it, three entirely unique ways of
managing your Instagram account for business. If you like and subscribe you
can stay tuned for lots more insights tips and tricks on how you can better
manage your Instagram presence.

Chateau d'Ah - Cesar: Urbex Abandoned castle / print shop - Duration: 11:29.
Chateau D'ah was built in the 19th century, but was historically not known until 1950.
The domain of 2ha was purchased for 540 000 Belgian francs (approximately 13 386 euros) by a Walloon printer.
8 years later, in 1958, this printer moved his printing company to Chateau D'ah.
The printing company was manned by 20 staff members, crowded luxury books and became by bibliophiles considered one of Belgium's largest printing companies.
At the age of 94, in December 2008, the owner died,
As a consequence, the printing company dissolved and left Chateau D'ah.
I've already seen a sign that says they're going to grow it all.
That sign hung on the façade or so?
There was a project drawing of what was going to come.
The trees have just been cut here.
That's impressive!
So beautiful !
Such beautiful walls!
This house is owned!
This is really nice graffiti!
Well a nice basement.
This is the wine cellar.
This is Tommy.
Yes, it's all right.
I just think it's a creepy cellar.
Here are strange conditions happening!
What is that???
That's the plan of hell.
It has been a moment of drawing.
Here are crazy people, I think.
Perhaps a vision from someone's dream.
A map?
Even on the ceiling, just like inception.
Earlier 'Prison break'.
That's the entrance.
Why was this made here?
you have to look that's...
That's really crazy!
Really bizarre, the way.
The way this has been made is really bizarre.
That staircase, why does it stand there and where does it lead? you do not know.
Why is that hole in the wall? You can enter here everywhere.
Rare, or not?
Let it go
That's right here, like in the movies.
If we all put our finger on that 'ouiji'-board....
No !!!
... then we left for an adventure.
Or spend a night here?
This is indeed the perfect place for a creepy night.
It will not be long anymore, it's soon broken down.
That's what we have to do.
Briefly summarized...
If you have complaints, you can file a complaint from 15 to 31 May.
That is why you are late.
They are going to make it happen.
And according to a few neighborhood residents, this year will be demolished.
So if you want to come see, then it's the moment.
On to the next.

The McGee Roadster: Hot Rod Legend | Historic Vehicle Association Documentary - Duration: 21:02.
(rock music)
(tires squeal)
- In the '50s, hot rod was a dirty word
and it was short.
You know, so it made headlines.
- Every time an old car was in a wreck,
it was "hot rod injures three."
42 old women run down by hot rods.
- We were made for the police in those days.
- Street racing was a big thing.
They'd hold 10 or 20 races and as soon as the cops came,
all the roadsters would take off through the bean fields
and the cops were driving old Nash bathtubs
and they couldn't catch them.
When you mention hot rod to someone, the car that comes
to mind is the '32 Ford Highboy like the McGee Roadster.
The McGee car is a quintessential American hot rod.
- A lot of people probably consider it the most significant
'32 Ford hot rod.
It just has a presence.
- [Man] My idea of hot rodding is, you take something
that isn't worth a whole lot and you improve it
as much as you can and you personalize it at the same time.
- When you really think about hot rodding and how important
it was to our American heritage, it's major.
These were the guys that were some of the greatest
innovators in the automotive world.
That story needed to be told.
- Hot rodding is a purely American activity.
Everybody has a little bit of competition in them.
- These young guys found out if you got a model T
or a model A, the first thing you did was strip off
all the extra parts because if you make it lighter,
it will go faster.
- When we were 12 years old, that would be 1933,
we'd see in our neighborhood a little stripped down
model T.
I said, "Boy, what would be more fun than to ride around
"in a little homemade racing car like that?"
- That's what I want to do, build a roadster
like one of those and drive it up through the Sequoias
with no top with your girlfriend.
What would be better?
- We had our roadsters and we street raced
and did the whole bit.
Of course, didn't have a wonderful reputation,
but we had a lot of fun and we didn't get into jail
too much, so (laughs).
- We just liked the freedom of the open air,
driving and playing like we had a racing car.
- The hot rod innovation is to build it, drive it,
have fun with it, do all these things
that it can do.
The only rule is, it must be modified.
You can't go into the factory and buy a hot rod.
- [Greg] I think there was a comradery about hot rodders.
It was all the common goal to have a nice car
and a fast car.
- [Pat] They taught each other the tricks of this,
of what at the time were called hop ups
or gow jobs.
- [Ed] A lot of the elements came from just trying things,
you know.
This was uncharted territory, so it was open for ingenuity.
- [Pat] They could make manifolds and put
two carburetors on and they learned how to grind
cab shafts with files and we were to the point like,
in my hometown, somebody down the hill fired up his car
and, "Oh, that's Cina's '56 Chevy.
"Oh man, he's got a new cam in that thing.
"I can hear it (laughs)!"
Your car should be personalized to make it different
than any other.
You don't want to copy somebody else's hot rod,
not matter how much you like it.
- Whether it's color, stance, style,
immediately, your thoughts are, "How do I distinguish
"my car?"
some were greasy mechanic type guys
and some were neat guys that always had extra clean stuff.
There was no money before the war.
It was tough.
We didn't know it was tough
because we were used to that (laughs).
- It was primarily young men working
with what was available.
Guys went to go to the junkyard and pick out
what they could find.
- [Ed] The junkyards were full of many different makes
at the time.
You could buy a model T in those days for $10
and get it running, you know.
- [Pat] It started here in southern California
partly because of the abundance of roadsters here
because of the weather and roadsters
were the cheapest and lightest and most streamlined
of all the cars
and pretty soon, they found the Dry Lakes.
- They would get wet with an inch or two of water
and that would erase all the tire marks and when it dried up
it would be smooth again.
- [Bruce] Muroc, Dry Lake was actually the center
of activity because you could take you car up there
and go as fast as you wanted to go
without traffic, or people, or anything else.
El Mirage was the second best lake to Muroc
and they still run there today.
- [Ed] They'd have these meets up there and you would
meet new guys and see new cars that you'd never
get to see otherwise.
You'd learn a lot.
- [Pat] You could afford to have two cars,
so you'd build your car to run up to the Dry Lakes,
but it also had to come back to drive on the street.
- There's no sponsorship to speak of
and there's no prize money whatsoever,
so it's the purest form of hot rodding,
is straightaway Dry Lakes and Bonneville racing.
When it first started, they would race four or five cars
across the lake bed.
Well, if you were first, it was okay.
But if you were fifth, you had a hard time seeing
where you were going.
- So they had to stop that, that was getting
too risky.
Only the guy in front could see and some of these guys
are crazy thinking that they'll wear out,
I'll pass them later.
- [Bruce] So in 1937, the Southern California
Timing Association was formed to give
some regulation and some safety
to that activity and they went one car at a time.
- [Announcer] This is legal hot rod racing.
There is no speed limit here.
The idea is to go as fast as you can against
a common opponent, the clock.
- [Pat] They made rules and classes.
It was to organize all these various clubs
that were founding members.
Roadrunners, Bungholers.
- [Ed] The Throttlers and the Cam Breakers
and these various clubs could join.
- There was a lot of innovation and then along came
World War Two.
(loud explosions)
- [TV Announcer] On December 7, 1941,
Japan, like its infamous Axis partners,
struck first and declared war afterward.
- [Bruce] That kind of stopped hot rodding
a little bit short.
- [Dick] Basically a whole lot of racing
was ceased in the United States.
- So now all these fellas that used to race
through the Dry Lake usually worked with government
equipment during the war and learned a lot more about
engines and so forth.
- [Bruce] Guys learned how to fabricate and weld.
- During the war, they all have a picture
of their girlfriend and a picture of their hot rod
in their wallet and they'd be talking about racing
these things on the Dry Lakes and how much fun it was.
The term hot rod did develop sometime during World War II
and nobody knows exactly where it came from, when.
- Wally Parks says he first heard it in the Philippines.
Another serviceman from San Luis Obispo used it.
He had never heard it before.
- When the war shifted from the European
to the South Pacific, they all shipped through
Long Beach, San Diego, and they'd see these roadsters
bumming around on the streets
and the Army, the Navy spread this word
and after the war, it just blossomed.
- That was a great time to be in Los Angeles.
They had survived the war, they'd be in prison camps,
they'd been shot at, they had some extra money
in their jeans and they were happy to be home.
That was the boom and Dry Lakes racing was huge.
- [Pat] And these were so big up there
that there would be literally hundreds of cars
and thousands of spectators.
- It was booming.
All these people who had talent needed a new hobby
and by God, this was it, cars.
- When the G.I.s came back, they went to work
and the car that was their first choice was the '32 Ford
because it was the perfect platform for hot rodding.
- [Pat] The '32 Ford was the first Ford that came with
this V-8 engine, which was an affordable V-8
that the public could buy.
It would be like if Ford brought out a self-driving car
today, it was that monumental.
- [Ed] Now here we are in about 1938 or nine
and that engine looked like a racing engine does.
In the junkyard, we bought one for $65.
- It was much more streamlined,
much more designer-y looking.
It looked sleek and it looked brawny at the same time.
- Amazingly enough, it looked good when you took
the fenders off too.
It just looked good pretty much whatever you did to it.
- At that point, a lot of people had find ways
to improve the looks of a '32 Ford Roadster
and I think the McGee Roadster exemplifies
the pinnacle of that.
Bob McGee was the football player
at University of Southern California.
He always had a love for cars.
He took time out to go to war and when he came back,
he jumped right in to building this car.
And like all hot rodders, Bob McGee tried new stuff.
- [Dick] A lot that he did himself, obviously,
but some of the characteristics of that car
were done by professionals and made it
the distinct car that it is.
He was thinking outside the box.
- [Pat] The McGee car was like the Ferrari of hot rods
at the time.
There was only one that even was remotely like it.
I mean, it was clean, it was pretty,
it reeked of that hot rod look.
It sat right.
They notched the frame in the back
and got the back in down to where the body line
and the tire were concentric and that,
and I worked and worked to get my car to sit that good
and I still, it doesn't.
That handmade three-piece wind
is one of the first to have it.
It had no hinges and no latches visible on it.
Just little things like that set it apart.
- [Greg] A lot of styling ques on hot rods
come from race cars,
so the louvers, in addition to increasing cooling,
they're a styling touch similar to what
an Indianapolis car would have.
- [Greg] There's no radiator cap on the radiator.
It's peaked.
The spreader bar, which supports the two front frame horns
is V-ed.
It has no exterior door hinges.
- [Dick] It took a lot of engineering to make that work.
- [Ed] And they took off the door handles
so they didn't show, so it was just a smooth body style
all the way through.
- [Pat] It has a completely redesigned dash
with a big tack in the middle.
The trunk and the rear line goes all the way down
to the end of the body.
It's not broken up by a panel.
- [Dick] He cut it on down and took that panel out
and had a special deck in formed that matched perfect,
but went all the way down.
The license plate and the rear taillights
are mounted right in the deck with itself.
- [Pat] It just took that one line out of the car.
It's a double take, even subconsciously
you know the car looks cleaner and smoother.
That's a badge of courage, that's a mark of distinction.
- [Greg] As unique as the car was stylistically,
the engine was just the same.
It has a 21-stud flathead with federal mobile
copperheads, a special burns intake manifold.
Still, the car wasn't just skin deep.
- [Bruce] It had enough performance to say, you know,
it's definitely a hot rod.
- Bob McGee just looked like the all-American boy
who was married with this car.
He took his honeymoon in this car.
It's the enthusiast that wanted to make changes,
make him go faster.
Then it really built our industry in the US
and it was the enthusiast like Bob McGee that took
a standard platform '32 Ford Roadster
and tweaked it to become an icon.
In the late '40s, there were a lot of hot rods
roaming the streets of southern California
and hot rodders were not always welcome
and then along came Bob Peterson
who went out to the Dry Lakes, took some great pictures,
and kind of started a newsletter which then became
Hot Rod Magazine.
- [Greg] Robert E. Peterson was pretty brave in 1948
to found a magazine called Hot Rod because it was
a pejorative term.
It was really a risky proposition, but it worked for him.
- [Greg] Within three years, it was selling like,
3 million copies and he was a millionaire.
- There was the magazine that, of course,
really built hot rodding.
I grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and we were able to see
what was actually happening there
in southern California.
Where we could get parts.
I happened to pick up the October issue
and that's where I first ran across a picture
of the Bob McGee Roadster.
- [Pat] What makes any hot rod significant
is being on the cover of Hot Rod magazine.
Everybody in the country saw this car
and the way it sat, and the way it was built.
- [Bruce] This car was photographed in front of USC,
so you've got a soldier, a scholar, a football star
all wrapped up into one package right there
in front of a very iconic university.
- [Greg] But to the public in the late '40s and early '50s,
hot rods were somewhat representative
of a menace.
- [Driver] (laughs) Yeah, they knew I was around now
all right.
You should have seen them scatter.
- [Pat] These hot rodders had gotten into so much trouble
with the cops that the SETA clubs and Hot Rod magazine
with Wally Parks leading the way,
he said, "Man, we got to clean up our image."
- [Bruce] All the hot rod clubs got together
with law enforcement to express their concern over
safe driving and image, and they selected this car
to lead the pack.
So on each car, they would put a safety sticker,
a green cross, on the windshield
and this was a big, big day for the legitimacy of the sport.
- After McGee, there was a fella named Dick Hirschberg.
He was a motorcycle and roadster guy.
He was a friend of VonDutch.
He got the car and then in 1955 painted it
a pale yellow color and put a new Chevy V-8 in it.
That has to be one of the first '32 Fords that got
an engine swap with a Chevy V-8, which of course,
they built literally millions of and it became
the basis for all kinds of racing and hot rodding
from then on.
- And then it went to Dick Richfield.
- I was driving down the street in Hollywood
and saw this yellow roadster sitting
in a service station.
Boy, that's a pretty neat looking car.
I said, "Hey, would you be interested in trading
"your roadster for a Lincoln Continental?"
And he says, "Oh, yeah.
"It looks pretty nice.
"I'll give you $800 and a roadster for the Continental."
I figured I was going to have to pay him
for the car (laughs).
And away I went and I was a proud owner of a 1932
Ford Roadster.
(car engine revs)
- [Pat] Once Richfield got the car, he kept updating it
with newer engines and different paint jobs.
- [Greg] He had the pipes going out the sides.
- The outside headers, actually, I think they
were for a boat originally and he turned them
upside down and used them on the roadster
and they worked fine.
- Eventually, I decided to built a new engine for it.
A 350 Chevy.
That was sure a good engine.
It just ran, and ran, and ran.
Go up to 8,000 RPM and sit there, never miss a beat.
- It was a new process called metalflake paint.
- And it was the first metalflake paint in the country.
Ducom and Chemical came out with a ground up
aluminum and they found a way to shoot it
through a spray gun.
You could put a real sparkly finish.
- [Greg] So it went from the pale yellow
to the metalflake red.
At the ultimate, we ended up painting it black.
In the late '50s, the street riding was dying off
a little bit.
He got together with a couple other guys and had roadsters
and decided that they'd form a club
and that became the L.A. Roadsters.
- [Pat] He was a doer.
He was a leader, and the idea was, we're going to drive
these goddamn things, that's what they're for.
They were a known hot rod club and they put on this show
at the Hollywood Bowl parking lot starting in '57.
- We were able to start a really complete industry
and it's just grown, and grown and just keeps going,
you know?
- Not only was he leading all these runs
with the L.A. roadsters, there were all these
Hollywood B-movies.
- Well, the studio is looking for a roadster for a movie
and I said, "Well, I'd be available."
so the first movie was Hot Rod Gang.
- [Pat] The first thing they're doing is,
they're banging hubcaps and the next thing,
they challenge each other to ride the curbs
and they're going and down where the driveways are.
- [Dick] I kept thinking they were going to hit one
of the light poles or something.
That made me a little nervous, I will admit.
- [Pat] Whenever they needed a hot rod,
it was Richfield's car.
They put it in movies, he put it in TV shows,
he put it in ads.
It was ubiquitous.
- I don't want my baby mixed up with these drug strips
and hot roots.
- Mom, that's drag strips and hot rods.
- Well, that's it!
- And it accomplished the start of the Richfield Roadster.
- I got a good life, I got a good job,
I got the boulevard.
- It was in tons of shows, I saw it in shows.
- Stella!
- Thanks, Fonzie.
- Sometimes I drove
and sometimes it was a stuntman or the actor driving.
- OH, wow.
This is the deuce!
(car engine revs)
- This car was in a lot of movies and TV shows
over the years, a lot.
- Well Andy, I declare.
This is the prettiest little car I ever did see.
- And he put it together all by himself.
That's os wonderful.
(car engine revs)
- It was a lot of fun.
- [Pat] It very well should be called the McGee Richfield
Roadster because Dick Richfield accomplished more
in performance with the car
than Bob McGee did.
- In the late '60s, he became interested
in Dry Lakes and Bonneville racing
and he lobbied SCTA and in 1971,
they formed some street roadster classes.
- We put the record.
We ran through at 168
and they couldn't believe that a street roadster
would really go that fast.
That was great fun.
- I've been well over 200 miles per hour at Bonneville
and when I think of going 167 miles an hour in this car,
I'm not sure I have what it takes.
Going that fast in a street roadster
is a real accomplishment.
- Turn the key and go 167 miles an hour.
It was pretty amazing.
- They always say I jinxed the record because I held
the record nine years before they broke it
and then they finally just made complete race cars
that were not street driven or anything else,
so I felt pretty good about that.
- He retired to Hawaii.
Well, Hawaii had a strict fender law at that time,
so he decided he would sell the roadster.
- Then I get over here and like, two years later
they change the law
and fenders aren't required anymore,
so I got had.
I was sorry I did that at that time.
They were all good memories with that car.
I do miss it.
It was a bit part of my life.
I like driving fast and I like fooling with cars
and that make me a hot rodder, I guess.
- [Bruce] To find a car like this with the original,
original everything, body, doors, hood, chassis,
is very, very rare that it hasn't been modified
beyond recognition and beyond restoration.
And so making the decision when I bought the car
which point to restore it to,
I picked the McGee car because this was the pivotal time.
It was so well-known in the history of hot rodding
and it just defined style.
(upbeat music)
- [Greg] Bruce located Bob McGee.
He lived down in Fountain Valley, which isn't very far
away, but nobody had really talked to him in a while.
He brought his scrapbook and contributed his knowledge
and so forth to the project.
Sadly, he didn't live to see it completely restored,
but he knew it was in the process
and was going to be restored.
Ad this is accurate as is possible to make it.
I think it's just spot on.
(car engine revs)
- This car represents generations of innovation.
Hod rodding is all-American as baseball, jazz,
apple pie, and it was almost forgotten.
There was a real under appreciation for the cars
and personalities behind the hot rod movement.
I think one of the running points was when
Pebble Beach accepted hot rods
along with Duesenberg and Rolls Royces and Ferraris
as a very acceptable art form.
The US Post Office put this car on a postage stamp
because this car has depth.
I mean, this car has done it all and I realize
when we leave this planet, we take nothing with us.
In fact, we're just custodians for icons like this.
(upbeat rock music)
(atmospheric music)

"The Enchantments, Part II": Shooting the Core with a Holga - Duration: 12:33.
good morning
25 minutes to sunrise, or half an hour
gonna get up, have some breakfast and get ready for the hike
didn't get much sleep
look at that, that's beautiful
ok so I'm going for it, I'm starting the hike now
so that was Snow Falls
that means that we... I... am one mile in
and that means that it's going to get steeper now
so I just took my jacket off
should be another mile... one thousand feet up
but that's it, then I'll be at the Upper Lakes
finally
maybe I don't look like it, but I'm very excited about it
I've been waiting for this moment for a long time
that's the trail right there
and just in case it doesn't look steep
I'm going to tell you... it is
it is so cool
you can see some smoke there
last 400 feet, they are going to be the worst
look, that's the trail right there
it's up, up, up
that's where the tent is, it's full of smoke
made it!
10 miles and 5,300 feet
this is it
this is the beginning of the Enchantments
and you go to even more lakes
so yeah I'm going to keep going a little bit
this trail was made by goats, I swear
oh man, that's a campsite!
at the other side is perfection lake
that's my destination for today
and finally, perfection lake
this was my destination for today
and made it
it's really cool, let me show you
so this place is really cool, it's like a little piece of heaven here
I haven't seen any goats, or pikas, or anything
just chipmunks, that's not exciting
yeah I kind of wish I had my tent here with me
I know there are more lakes, just up there there is Inspiration Lake
and then there are at least another 4 or 5 lakes
further away, but it's up, up, up
I didn't get to sleep here and see a sunrise or sunset, that would've been awesome
but I'm still really glad that I got to come here and see it
fall is coming
one thing I just realized, I have the whole place for myself
seriously, there's no one here
that's cool
I'm back at the first lake, I'm about to leave the Upper Lakes, the Core Enchantments
and start going down, that's going to be interesting
it's pretty much a scramble down
so yeah bye Enchantments
it was nice, I was up here for a couple hours
it is what it is, next time
that's Snow Lakes, where my tent is
that's the trail down
and I still have 8 miles, and 4,000 feet down from there
so yeah, a long way
it was pretty much 600, 700 feet of scrambling down
holding onto the rocks or whatever you could grab
but anyway, it's done now
my knees are hurting a little bit but
there it is, the tent
ok so I made it back to the tent
this is my first backpacking trip alone by the way
it was an experience, it was different
you have a lot of time for yourself
like a lot
and yeah you have to be careful because if you get hurt here
I saw 3 groups, maybe 4 groups of hikers today
I hiked for 6:30 hours
so that means I saw one group every hour and a half
so if you get hurt, there's no service here, so you have to wait
maybe hour and a half, 2 hours for someone to come
if someone comes
so yeah you have to be careful
8 miles, I hope I can do it in 3 hours, 3 and a half
that means 4 or 5pm
I'm already thinking about dinner
I want a beer, a big bottle
and this time I'll have... probably pizza
ok so I'm two miles from the trailhead
so pretty much there
but I'm not having a good time
because my left leg
I don't know what happened, all day going up and down
it just hurts a lot here, a lot, with every step
I'm taking it easy, I'm going slow
I don't want to break anything
my back is hurting too
but I have two beers waiting for me
and that's that way
beers that way
I can see the highway
almost there
last stretch
like a mile or even less
everything hurts
my leg is killing me
my toes
my back
my hands, from holding the hiking poles
parking lot
