1947-09-10 Ferrari 159 002C Colombo Righetti fixing
Summary
Ferrari engine designer Gioacchino Colombo (in a nice suit) and Ferrari mechanic Adelmo Righetti (in a mechanic's outfit, on the right) fixing something in the engine of a Ferrari in 1947, probably, while it was owned/raced by Scuderia Ferrari, in fact, the 1947 Ferrari 159 C s/n 002C. It had its race debut in Modena on 28 September 1947 with race number 20, which can be seen in this picture (almost), and was sold to Besana brothers for racing in 1948.[1]
We at GetArchive are exploring new methods of image metadata augmentation and verification. Our goal is to make it possible to find images on any topic. In particular, we are trying to verify and fix historic periodization. This collection is made of historic photographs of automobiles that look as if they were taken in the 1940s. The collection is made with aid of a neural image recognition network dealing with the whole image composition rather than with the car model - some cars may be dated incorrectly. Although, while this method is surprisingly good for the purpose of dating and tagging, a certain percentage of images (less than 8%) may not represent automobile, but other vehicle type or visually similar object. Naturally, our next step should be creating numerous datasets for a particular car years&models, but as of September 2022, we found no use to justify the effort.
