Edward Turner
I want to introduct something about Paling Strip. paling strip is available in all kinds of wo Edward Turner (January 24, 1901 August 15, 1973) was a famous British motorcycle designer. He was born in Camberwell in the London Borough of Southwark, London, on the day King Edward VII was proclaimed King.In 1915 Edward Turner had his first ride on a motorcycle, a Light Tourist New Imperial.Contents1 The Turner Special 2 Ariel Designer 2.1 The Ariel Square Four 3 Triumph General Manager and Chief Designer 3.1 The Speed Twin 3.2 Triumph T100 GP 3.3 Triumph Thunderbird 3.4 Triumph Terrier and Tiger Cub unit construction singles 3.5 Triumph T110 Tiger 4 Chief Executive of BSA Group (BSA, Ariel, Triumph, Daimler, and Carbodies) 4.1 3TA unit construction twin 4.2 Triumph T120 Bonneville 4.3 Daimler V8 engines 4.4 Triumph Scooters 4.5 Retirement 4.6 Triumph Bandit and BSA Fury 5 References // The Turner SpecialOn April 16 1925 "The Motor Cycle" published drawings by Edward Turner of an OHC single he had designed, using a series of vertically stacked gears to drive the overhead camshaft. A subsequent redesign used bevel gears to drive a vertical camshaft, operating the valves through rockers. The only shared aspects of the two designs were the bore and stroke, 74 x 81mm, with the barrel being sunk into the crankcases. The head could be removed from either design complete with undisturbed valve gear.Edward Turner built his first bike in 1927, using his second design, a 350cc OHC single. The Motor Cycle published a photograph of Edward Turner's patented engine, mounted in his motorcycle called the Turner Special. The Special was registered for road use with the London County Council as YP 9286. It used Webb forks, and a three-speed Sturmey-Archer gearbox.Ariel DesignerBy now, living in Peckham, south London and running Chepstow Motors, a motorcycle shop with a Velocette agency, Edward Turner conceived the Square Four engine in 1928. At this time he was looking for work, showing drawings of his engine design to motorcycle manufacturers. The engine was essentially a pair of 'across frame' OHC parallel twins joined by their geared central flywheels, with a one-piece four-cylinder block (or Monobloc) and single head. The idea for the engine was rejected by BSA, but adopted by Ariel. Thus it became the Ariel Square Four, and not the BSA Square Four. Edward Turner was then invited by Jack Sangster to join Ariel.By 1929, at Ariel, Jack Sangster had Edward Turner and Bert Hopwood working under Val Page in design. Edward Turner, now 28, married Edith Webley.The Ariel Square FourThe first Ariel Square Four 4F was shown at the Olympia Motorcycle Show in 1930 in chain-driven overhead camshaft 500cc form.Ariel released the 600cc Square Four in 1931.The 40-year old Val Page, formerly a designer for JAP, and more lately Ariel (where he was Edward Turner's boss), gave up on Ariel in 1932, and joined Triumph. (Ariel had closed in 1930 but was reconstituted in 193132).In 1936 Triumph decided to create separate motorcycle and car companies, and sell the motorcycle company. Ariel owner, Jack Sangster, bought it and changed the name to Triumph Engineering Company. The Ariel Square Four changed from the 4F 600cc OHC version to the 4G OHV 995cc version that year.Triumph General Manager and Chief DesignerSangster made Edward Turner, now 35, General Manager and Chief Designer. (In this new position Turner received a 5% commission on the companies net profits, and became a shareholder with 4.9% of the equity). The first thing he did was clear space on the production floor for an office and an adjoining drawing office. Val Page had left Triumph four months before and joined BSA. Bert Hopwood came to Triumph as Turner's Design Assistant. Ted Crabtree, who was also at Ariel before, became Chief Buyer, and Freddie Clarke was made Chief Development Engineer: both were motorcycle racers.Turner examined the line of 250, 350 (3H) and 500cc Mk 5 singles, and rationalised them into three sports roadsters: the Tigers 70, 80, and 90. He added single-tube frames, enclosed valve gear, upswept exhausts, polished cases, new paint designs, and chrome petrol tanks.The Speed TwinMain article: Triumph Speed TwinIn July 1937 Turner introduced the 500cc Speed Twin, selling at ?75. It was smaller and weighed fivepounds less than the ?70 Tiger 90, and proved very successful. The 5T Speed Twin (some say based on the engine design of Turner's Riley Nine car) became the standard by which other twins were judged, and its descendants continued in production until the 1980s. The original 27bhp parallel-twin was capable of exceeding 90mph (145km/h) and weighed 361lb (166kg).Edward Turner's wife Edith died in a car crash near Coventry in 1939.Turner's "sprung hub" was supposed to go...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about paper birthday card, nissan dealers australia, .

To be "on jankers" is to have been charged by a non-commissioned officer or commissioned officer, to have had the details of the charge entered into a charge sheet (Army Form No. 252, - known to soldiers as a 'fizzer' - in the British Army), to have appeared before the Company Commander, and to have been given the punishment, 'Confined to Barracks' for a specified interval."Jankers" was a familiar part of Regular and National Service. The term is also used in civilian life and journalism to mean the punishment of minor infringements by the imposition of tedious duties. BBC comedies, such as It Ain't Half Hot Mum used the term, with the first ever episode "Meet the Gang" seeing Gunner Graham put on "jankers" (painting stones) by the Sergeant Major, as have memoirs of life in the armed services. Whilst under punishment - jankers - the soldier is subjected to several inspections each day in diferent forms of dress starting with working clothes fatigues half an hour after reveille, where he parades outside the guardhouse for inspection by the orderly officer, who is the guard sergeant. After inspection, the condemned man is sent to perform a variety of tasks, not always menial, but often of that type, following which he can enjoy his breakfast.After lunch, the man reports again to the guardroom for inspection, and is then assigned work until shortly before he must attend the afternoon's muster parade. After tea, he parades again at the guardhouse, this time in battledress and in battle order, where he is rigourously inspected. Any criticism of his turnout or equipment can result in another 'charge' or 'fizzer.' The final parade of the day is at 22.00 hours, and in Full Service Marching Order. FSMO, as it is referred to, is best battledress, best boots, sharply and cleanly turned out, and with every opiece of equipment provided by the Army, including large back pack, small front pack, two front ammunition pouches, and the straps and belts called 'webbing' consisting of a belt, gaiters, pack straps, and packs, blancoed or boot polished, the brasses highly burnished, and smartly maintaining a soldierly attitude at all times. After insopection, the soldier can then return to barracks, prepare his kit for tomorrow's parades, and then get some sleep and rest. The whole punishment keeps the man very busy, rushing about, miserable, and vowing never to do any more Jankers. Sometimes they are successful, but some time they are not and so subject themselves to the discomfort of a longer stretch of Jankers.The following is a true if comical account of three punishments totalling 24 days on the trot by a young soldier, Ronnie Bray, whose life is recorded in "A Shout From The Attic" - as yet unpublished.On JankersThe common periods for jankers ranges from three days to 28 days. Soldiers that are punished by Jankers [confined to barracks] eat normal meals along with all their comrades. Their diet is not restricted.More serious charges are adjudicated by a Court martial, and punishments there can be lengthy, from a few months to several years, and is often followed by dishonourable discharge. The diet of imprisoned soldiers might be subject to variation for internal misbehaviour whilst in military prison.I was in Borden in early and mid nineteen fifty-three enjoying - ahem - the retraining, and for reasons yet unknown, I came to the attention of the Company Commander three times, on which occasions I stood at attention before the Company Commander, for my sins. I am not really paranoid, but The first time I was put on a fizzer was when I stood next to a soldier on the first parade of the day who had somehow persuaded a whole troop of elves to work on his boots overnight. Not only were they shiny with a mirror finish, they also had a shine so deep that you could see the bones inside his feet inside his boots. My boots were not as I was commanded by a gruff drill corporal to ocularly view this fellow's impressive footwear, and then asked to explain why his were exemplary and mine were sub-exemplary. Although normally loquacious, on this occasion I was I was frog-marched to the Der Kommandant's Bo and forced to explain how I dared pose such a threat to the nation security in a time when ferocious enemies, such as the USSR, might drop out of the skies in millions to take away our freedoms. Although I had heard about the Soviet Union and the global aspirations of Comintern, I never took the perceived threat seriously. It was, I reckoned, nothing more than an Perhaps there was something in my demeanour that was read by the military establishment as code for my intent to overturn the greatest democracy the world has ever known.

Psycho First edition coverAuthorRobert BlochCover artistTony PalladinoCountryUnited StatesLanguageEnglishGenre(s)ThrillerPublisherSimon & SchusterPublication date1959Media typeprint (hardback & paperback)ISBNNAFollowed byPsycho II, Psycho HousePsycho (1959) is a suspense novel by Robert Bloch.Contents1 Plot summary 1.1 Mary (chapters 1-4) 1.2 Norman (chapter 5) 1.3 Arbogast (chapters 6-10) 1.4 Loomis and Lila (chapters 11-16) 1.5 Dr. Steiner (chapter 16) 1.6 Norman (chapter 17) 2 Allusions/references to actual history, geography and current science 3 Film, television and theatrical adaptations 3.1 Film 3.2 Sequels 3.3 Musical 4 References // Plot summaryThe story is divided (below, but not in the actual book) into several sections, by the character whose point of view is mostly followed in that chapter. This is purely for simplicity's sake (as other characters' POVs are also found in the same chapters). It basically follows the main narrative of one character up until their death, when the spotlight moves to the next soon-to-be victim.Mary (chapters 1-4)The novel begins when one of the main characters, Mary Crane, embezzles $40,000 from her employer George Lowery and leaves town so she can marry her boyfriend, Sam Loomis. On the way to Loomis' house, she is forced to stop at the dilapidated Bates Motel, on the side of the highway. The owner is Norman Bates, a middle-aged alcoholic whose pastime is taxidermy. He is attracted to her, and offers to have her up to the house for dinner. Mary gives him a fake name when she signs the registry.Bates and Mary make small talk, and he mentions that his mother wasn't happy about him "seeing" Mary. He admits that she became "ill" after his father died and worsened after a man she had been seeing died as well. When Mary suggests that she be "put somewhere", however, Bates bursts out into semihysterics. "A boy's best friend is his mother," he insists.Afterwards, Mary readies herself for a shower (while Bates watches through a peephole) and decides to give the money back before she ends up like Bates. While she is in the shower, however, an old woman surprises her with a butcher knife, and "cut[s] off both her screama]nd her head."Norman (chapter 5)Shortly before Mary is killed, Mother rants at Bates for daring to bring a woman into her house, threatening to "kill the bitch." Norman gets drunk in an attempt to drown her out, and slips into unconsciousness. Bates enters Mary's room after he comes to his senses, and, finding her dead, cleans up after Mother. He pushes Mary's car along with her body (and the $40,000, of which he is ignorant) into a nearby swamp. He falls asleep and dreams that Mother is sinking in quicksand, only to turn into him as she screams for help. When he awakes, Mother has returned, and he decides to keep her crime a secret, realizing that she is all he has.Arbogast (chapters 6-10)The bank owner gets suspicious, as does Mary's sister, Lila, who goes to find Loomis. They are joined by an insurance detective, Arbogast, who's investigating the $40,000 claim.He goes out to look for Mary, and gets to the motel. He interviews Bates, who clumsily tries to hide that Mary had been there, and refuses to let him see Mother. Arbogast deduces that Mary had been in Room #6 from Bates' uneasiness when questioned about it, and calls Loomis to inform him of his suspicions, and that he is going to talk to Mrs. Bates. He enters the house, and is met by Mother at the door with a straight razor. After Bates cleans that up, he carries Mother into the fruit cellar despite her protests, telling her that it's "for her own good."Loomis and Lila (chapters 11-16)Loomis and Lila, en route to the motel, ask the local sheriff about Bates and his mysterious Mother. They find out that his mother, Norma, committed suicide with her lover, Joe Considine, some years ago, and that it was very hard for Norman to handle; he had to be put briefly in a mental institution, "to keep him from doing something unreasonable."They then go to the motel and sneak into Mary's room. In the bathroom, they discover Mary's earring, along with dried blood, near the shower. Bates is listening at the peephole, and hurries to get rid of them. While talking to Loomis, Lila has gone up to the house. Bates knocks out Sam, and rushes up to the house.Lila goes up to Mrs. Bates' room, which, in contrast to the shambolic state of the rest of the house, is in pristine order, as if it hasn't been altered in years. In Norman's room, she discovers several tomes on arcane subjects: P.D. Ouspensky's A New Model of the Universe and The...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about masks for wall, hair tail fish, .

Background:380 console and 305 processing unit.The IBM 305 RAMAC was the first commercial computer that used a moving head hard disk drive (magnetic disk storage) for secondary storage. IBM introduced the storage unit on September 4, 1956 before unveiling the entire computer nine days later on September 13. RAMAC stood for "Random Access Method of Accounting and Control". Its design was motivated by the need for real time accounting in business. The first RAMAC to be used in the US auto industry was installed at Chrysler's MOPAR Division in 1957. It replaced a huge tub file which was part of MOPAR's parts inventory control and order processing system. The 305 was one of the last vacuum tube computers that IBM built. The IBM 350 disk system stored 5 million 8-bit (7-bits plus 1 odd parity bit) characters. It had fifty 24-inch diameter disks. Two independent access arms moved up and down to select a disk, and in and out to select a recording track, all under servo control. Average time to locate a single record was 600 milliseconds. Several improved models were added in the 1950s. The IBM RAMAC 305 system with 350 disk storage leased for $3,200 per month in 1957 dollars, equivalent to a purchase price of about $160,000. More than 1000 systems were built. Production ended in 1961, the RAMAC computer became obsolete in 1962 when the IBM 1405 Disk Storage Unit for the IBM 1401 was introduced, and the 305 was withdrawn in 1969.One storage disk showing head crash damage.The original 305 RAMAC computer system could be housed in a room of about 9 m (30') by 15 m (50'); the 350 disk storage unit measured around 1.5 m2 (16 sq ft). The first hard disk unit was shipped September 13, 1956. The additional components of the computer were a card punch, a central processing unit, a power supply unit, an operator's console/card reader unit, and a printer. There was also a manual inquiry station that allowed direct access to stored records. IBM touted the system as being able to store the equivalent of 64,000 punched cards.Programming the 305 involved not only writing machine language instructions to be stored on the drum memory, but also almost every unit in the system (including the computer itself) could be programmed by inserting wire jumpers into a control panel.During the 1960 Olympic Winter Games in Squaw Valley (USA), IBM provided the first electronic data processing systems for the Games. The system featured an IBM RAMAC 305 computer, punch card data collection, and a central printing facility.Currie Munce, research vice president for Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (which has acquired IBM's storage business), stated in a Wall Street Journal interview that the RAMAC unit weighed over a ton, had to be moved around with forklifts, and was delivered via large cargo airplanes. According to Munce, the storage capacity of the drive could have been increased beyond five megabytes, but IBM's marketing department at that time was against a larger capacity drive, because they didn't know how to sell a product with more storage.RAMAC mechanism at Computer History MuseumContents1 Architecture 1.1 Drum memory 1.2 Jumps 1.3 Timing 2 Hardware implementation 3 Related peripheral units 4 Footnotes 5 External links // ArchitectureThe 305 was a character-oriented variable "word" length decimal (BCD) computer with a drum memory rotating at 6000 RPM that held 3200 alphanumeric characters.

Sidney Torch
I want to introduct something about 7W High Power Indoor Lamps. 7W-AR111 LED LAMP is mainly made with 1W high power LED mounted on the aluminum institute. Its size and institute design are convenient for user change their traditional any AR-111 type fixture to LED. Same as the traditional AR-111 use, 7W LED lamp is designed for spot-light use. But LED has the great advantage of long life, cold light, low heat and energy saving. 7W High Power Indoor Lam Sidney Torch MBE (1908 - 16 July 1990) was a British pianist, cinema organist, conductor, orchestral arranger and a composer of light music.Born Sidney Torchinsky of Russian parents, Torch learned the rudiments of music very quickly from his father, an orchestral trombonist. He worked as an accompanist before getting a job playing the Piano with the Orchestra of the Regal Cinema, Marble Arch, London. When the Cinema's Christie Theatre Organ was installed in 1928, Torch became the Assistant Organist to the Chief Organist, Quentin Maclean. Torch took over as Chief Organist at the Cinema in 1932 when Maclean left to become Chief Organist of the Trocadero Cinema, Elephant and Castle. Torch's tenure at the Regal lasted until 1934.Torch then played the organ in a number of London Cinemas an in 1937 he became the Chief Organist of the new Gaumont State Cinema, Kilburn. He continued to play the Wurlitzer there up until 1940, when he was drafted into the RAF and stationed near Blackpool. Torch would play and make recordings on the numerous Cinema Organs in the Blackpool area, during his spare time. While in the RAF, Torch became the Conductor of the RAF Concert Orchestra, where he learned to arrange music and to conduct.Mysteriously, Torch refused to continue playing the organ professionally after the war, despite the fact that he was a popular and well-liked organist and one of the most talented in Britain. Instead he turned his attention to conducting, arranging and composing full-time. He conducted many orchestras and bands, particularly those of the BBC. Torch was even the man who created the popular BBC Light Programme show Friday Night is Music Night, which started in 1953 and continues to be broadcast to this day. Torch also conducted the BBC Concert Orchestra for nearly every Friday Night show until his retirement.Torch also composed many pieces for the BBC, particularly the theme tunes for radio and television shows. The themes from the radio show Much Binding In The Marsh is an example of this. Torch also composed independently, mostly pieces of light music. The piece On A Spring Note is considered to be one of Torch's best works and is still regularly played and recorded by Modern Cinema Organists.Torch retired from full-time conducting with the BBC in 1972 and was appointed an MBE in 1985. Even though he gave interviews he would never talk about his days as a Cinema Organist and would dismiss attempts to get him to recall his great moments in light music. Torch also had very little time for bad performers in his orchestra and always expected a perfect performance and immaculate dress from them. However, Torch was remembered by all in the orchestras he conducted as a kind and thoughtful man, who would even be willing to give financial assistance to struggling musicians, and as a truly great and respected musician and conductor.Torch made a huge number of recordings during his lifetime. Many of Torch's Cinema Organ recordings have been rereleased on CD and can therefore still be bought today. Torch's organ recordings are regarded as some of the best ever made and are an excellent example of cinema organ-playing. Many organists around the world claim that they have been influenced by these recordings and Torch's 'snappy' organ playing style, including the American organist George Wright. CDs are also available of the records made by Torch and the BBC Concert Orchestra. This orchestra and many others continue to record and perform Torch's compositions.Torch died at his Eastbourne, Sussex home on 16 July 1990 at the age of 82, having survived his wife Elizabeth Tyson (a former BBC producer), who died six months earlier. Sidney Torch's music is remembered by the many admirers of the cinema organ and light music and Friday Night is Music Night is still regarded by many as 'his' programme, and his own compositions and arrangements are still regularly performed by 'his' BBC Concert Orchestra.External linksDetailed biography at the Robert Farnon Society Categories: 1908 births 1990 deaths English composers 20th-century classical composers Light music composers English conductors British music arrangers(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about street xxxxx luminaire, d/c cell flashlight, .

Woven yarn dyed men's robe, 100% cotton, 21/21 64x54 A traditional rugby union kit consists of a collared jersey (often imitated by fashion labels and called a "rugby shirt"), shorts, long socks and boots with studs. Some modest padding is allowed on the head, shoulders and collarbone, but it must be sufficiently light, thin and compressible to meet IRB standards. Most players also opt to wear a mouthguard to guard against concussion and chipping of the teeth.Famous Rugby Jerseys, early 1920s boys magazine illustration of the playing strips of the top clubs and countries.Contents1 Shirt and shorts 2 Boots 3 Body protection 4 Headgear 5 Mouthguard 6 References and notes // Shirt and shortsSee also: Rugby shirtRugby shirts need to be able to take plenty of tugging and pulling. They also need to be lightweight, comfortable and strongll at the same time. Modern shirts use new lightweight water-resistant, synthetic fibers. The tight forwards wear shirts that have panels for their team-mates to grab onto.The back of a jersey will usually have the player's position number and sometimes their surname printed above it. The team logo traditionally will be placed on one side of the upper chest. Sponsor logos and club competition logo may also be included in the design. Most rugby teams usually will have two jersey designs, the alternative jersey (traditionally) worn by the home team when the visiting teams jersey clashes. More modern shirts, uncommon outside the highest levels of the game, are now skin-tight. They are designed to remove sweat and heat more effectively and be more difficult for an opponent to grab.Rugby shorts are traditionally made from cotton, designed to take the strains of rugby union. Some second row forwards now use special line-out shorts which have reinforced stitching to help them to get lifted in the line-out (although most competent jumpers will insist on being lifted by the thighs, rather than the shorts, in order to obtain a higher lift). Additionally, they are typically less stretchy, and have a shorter inseam than traditional athletic shorts so that when players bind to each other, they remain tight to one and other.BootsTraditionally, rugby boots were of a high cut above the ankle. Over the years, such boots have become less common, although many players still wear mid-cut boots, just below the ankle. Additional ankle support was seen as appropriate given the nature of the game, particularly the stresses of forward play, and the amount of physical contact involved. Higher cut boots also provided some protection against knocks.Modern boots are now much more similarly styled to football boots, with a low cut offering minimal ankle support but maximum flexibility with minimum weight.It is essential for safety considerations, particularly in the scrum, that forwards wear boots with studs. The studs may be metal (aluminium) or plastic and must conform to Regulation 12 of the IRB. This regulation dictates the permissible dimensions of the studs and also defines a standard for the hardness of the material. Backs would be advised on most ground types to wear boots with some form of stud, to ensure adequate grip when changing direction.Referees are required to check all players' studs before a game and ensure that the studs conform to the Laws and have no sharp edges. Any studs that are worn down so that the steel fixing is showing must be changed before the player is allowed to join in the game. Similarly, any sharp edges must be filed off before the player may join in. The intent of the standard and these pre-match checks is to eliminate the potential for a stud to cause a cut if it comes into contact with a player's skin.Generally there are two types of stud pattern worn: the 8 stud or the 6 stud. The 8 stud is most often worn by the tight forwards (props, hooker and locks) to provide them with extra grip for scrummaging and mauling. The 6 stud is worn by backs as it allows for more agility and quicker movement around the field. Plastic "blade" studs, common in football, are an increasingly frequent choice among backs.Body protectionShoulder padding and protective vests are now becoming more commonly worn by players. The extent of the padding is limited by Regulation 12 of the International Rugby Board. This specifies that:shoulder padding will cover the shoulder and collar bone only and extend from the neck to a maximum of 2 cm down the upper arm.The padding is intended to give some protection to the bony prominences of the shoulder and clavicle. Padding on the chest and biceps are expressly forbidden (although permitted in Rugby League). All padded vests for use in rugby union must carry an IRB approval logo.Women players may also wear chest pads, also of soft, thin material. This is typically worn as part of a shoulder pad vest.Players may...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about 2.50 nt shirt, kids bath robes, .
