Russian chocolates, Rails and Houffalize in Belgium

# The Russian chocolates are made by a French chocolatier living in Moscow, and given to Harry by the National University of Science and Technology (MiSIS) in Moscow. Here being enjoyed in the classical Cambridge tea room. The discs of steel are in two parts, one representing the rail and the other the wheel. They are designed to rub against each other (rolling and sliding) to simulate damage evolution in rails. They are from a project with Huddersfield University, with Wilberth Solano representing Cambridge. Houffalize is where the European Mechanics Society symposium was held in October. A beautiful and rather isolated village.
