Abstract: A light system to be installed under branches of a tree, particularly under the fronds of a palm tree. The system involves a flexible multiple bulb light rod or a continuous string of lights. A lower end of the light rod is installed to a trunk of a tree by way of a bracket. The upper end of the flexible light rod has one end of a cord attached thereto. The cord is passed along the light rod by way of hooks attached thereon. By pulling at the other free end of the cord the flexible light rod will be bent downwardly to simulate the curvature of a branch on the tree without being attached thereto. The free end of the cord is then tied to a lower end of the bracket. The support rod for the lighting string may be supported on both ends on individual columns to form an arch.

Abstract: A method for making monobloc points for a transporation rail is disclosed. The points include a profiled body having a groove for housing a point rail. The method includes selecting a steel bloom having dimensions at least equal to the outer dimensions of the body and machining the steel bloom to define the profiled body.
