A fully illustrated study into the extraordinary Convair B-36 during the Cold War.

Conceived during 1941 in case Germany occupied Britain, when US bombers would then have insufficient range to retaliate, the B-36 was to be primarily a '10,000-mile bomber' with heavy defensive armament, six engines and a performance that would prevent interception by fighters. Although rapid developments in jet engine and high-speed airframe technology quickly made it obsolescent, the B-36 took part in many important nuclear test programmes. The aircraft also provided the US nuclear deterrent until the faster B-52 became available in 1955. It was one of the first aircraft to use substantial amounts of magnesium in its structure, leading to the bomber's 'Magnesium Overcast' nickname. It earned many superlatives due to the size and complexity of its structure, which used 27 miles of wiring, had a wingspan longer than the Wright brothers' first flight, equivalent engine power to 400 cars, the same internal capacity as three five-room houses and 27,000 gallons of internal fuel - enough to propel a car around the world 18 times. Much was made of the fact that the wing was deep enough to allow engineers to enter it and maintain the engines in flight. B-36s continued in the bomber and reconnaissance role until their retirement in February 1959 following 11 years in SAC. Convair employees were invited to suggest names for the giant aircraft, eliciting suggestions such as 'King Kong Bomber', 'Condor', 'Texan' and 'Unbelievable', but the most popular was 'Peacemaker'. Oddly, objections from religious groups deterred the USAF from ever adopting it officially.

This fully illustrated volume includes first-hand accounts, original photographs and up to 30 profile artworks depicting in detail the complexity of this superlative aircraft.

Fits but not great quality
Style: for Saros 10R / Saros 20 / Qrevo CurvX, Style: for Saros 10R / Saros 20 / Qrevo CurvX
I ordered these hoping that they would work in my Saros 10R but I didn't have the greatest experience. It's a nice kit because it has everything you need while the company hasn't fully released all replacement parts yet. However, it seems like the quality is lacking compared to what came with the vacuum. When I got the kit, I replaced the mop pads, filter in vacuum, side brushes and main rollers. The mop pads are fine and seem to work as good as stock. They are the right size and I don't have any issues with them. The side brushes also seem mostly the same as stock. However, I ran into issues with the filter and the rollers. I'm including pictures of the filter after one week of use compared to the stock one that has had almost two months of use. It seems like the replacement filter was easily clogged up, whereas the original after two months was clogged in one area. On the back side of the filter, it seemed like the replacement filter was puffy whereas the original was crisp. Even after knocking the replacement around, it seemed like the dust was glued to the filter. These pictures were also taken after the dock "emptied" the vacuum. I also noticed that when I replaced the rollers, the vacuum made a noise like something was rattling around. I put the original rollers back on and the noise stopped. Tried one more time and it made the rattle. So I just ended up using the stock rollers. The kit is nice because it has all the parts you need to maintain the vacuum. However, my experience is that it doesn't work as nice as the originals and I ended up going back with the original manufacturer parts.

Get yourself a spare set of mop cloths to keep your Roborock always ready to run
Size: Mop Cloth-5
Does the Roborock do a fantastic job mopping the floor? No, but it does a pretty good job, in fact “good enough.” Even better, the Roborock mops the floor more frequently than I ever did so it stays cleaner, overall. Definitely get a pack of spare mop cloths so you can have a set being washed while another set is available to put on the mop. So far, none of the mop cloths have worn out. Given how long they’re lasting, I’m inclined to say it is a decent value for the price paid.

OEM Roborock Cleaning Pads - Do not buy the knock offs.
Size: Mop Cloth-4
These are Roborock OEM pads for my 10R. I tried many of the cheap knock offs and they were terrible. These work great. Highly recommend.
