  • Chats on Old Clocks
    CHATS ON OLD CLOCKS ARTHUR HAYDEN CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. TIME AND ITS MEASUREMENT—DAY AND NIGHT—EARLY MECHANISM— THE DOMESTIC CLOCK—THE PERSONAL CLOCK—RAPID PHASES OF INVENTION—THE DAWN OF SCIENCE—THE GREAT ENGLISH MASTERS OF CLOCKMAKING—THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF A GREAT ART—WHAT TO VALUE AND WHAT TO COLLECT—HINTS FOR BEGINNERS. The dictionary definition of "clock" is interesting. Clock.—A machine for measuring time, marking the time by the position of its hands upon the dial-plate, or by the striking of a hammer on a bell. Probably from old French or from Low Latin, cloca, clocca, a bell. Dutch, klok. German, glocke, a bell. This is exact as far as it goes, but the thought seizes one, how did it come about that man attempted to measure time? He saw the sunrise and he watched the fading sunset till "Hesperus with the host of heaven came," and the night melted again into the dawn. Nature marked definitely the hours of light and hours of darkness. That was a law over which he had no control. Similarly he watched the seasons—the spring, the summer, the autumn, and the winter; this gave him the annual calendar. It becomes a matter of curious speculation how it came to pass that man divided the year into twelve months, and how he came to give a name to each day, and to determine seven as forming a week. Similarly one is curiously puzzled as to why he divided day and night into twenty-four parts, calling them hours.

  • Abbott's American Watchmaker and Jeweler
    Jlbbotf$ Jimericaii (Uatcbtnaker m(i lewder. ;vi> ^'o ^ ^^i#SK- '{»?B/^^ CM^ a/;: ABBOTT'S AMERICAN WATCHMAKER AND JEWELER AN ENCYCLOPEDIA FOR THE HOROLOGIST, JEWELER, GOLD AND SILVERSMITH CONTAINING HUNDREDS OF PRIVATE RECEIPTS AND FORMULAS COMPILED FROM THE BEST AND MOST RELIABLE SOURCES. COMPLETE DIRECTIONS FOR USING ALL THE LATEST TOOLS, ATTACHMENTS AND DEVICES FOR WATCHMAKERS AND JEWELERS BY HENRY G. ABBOTT ILLUSTRATED WITH 288 ENGRAVINGS C HidAGO: Ge&. K. Hazlitt & Co., PUPUSHBIIS, Copyrighted 1898, by Geo. K. Hazlitt & Co. PREFACE. THE first edition of this work was published in 1893 and met with an unexpected and unprecedented sale, and a second edition was placed upon the market in less than ten months. So much new matter was added that it was found necessary to reset the entire work in smaller type in order to keep the volume within the price at which it was originally placed on the market. It is the first and only book, of which the author has any knowledge, which illustrates and describes modern American tools for the watchmaker and jeweler. The ambitious workman is always in search of knowl- edge, in search of new ideas, new tools and new methods. Patient study, constant practice and ambition are requisite to become pro- ficient in any art. The demand for skilled workmen is constantly increasing, and a person wishing to thoroughly master any art, must be to a certain extent capable of self instruction. To be proficient in any art a man must not be deft of touch alone, but the head must also play its part.

Mr Hanley was also kind enough to make a number of valuable suggestions on the first draft of the introduction which also benefited from the ideas (albeit on their part unknowingly) of Dr J. Broad of the North East London Polytechnic and Dr D. R. Mills of the Open University whose lectures on Bucks village society at Stowe School in April 1982 proved immensely illuminating. None of the above, of course, bear any responsibility for any errors of interpretation on my part.

Työssä tällaista venettä nimitetään sähköveneeksi. Sähköveneily ei ole aivan uusi keksintö, mutta kirjallisuutta ja tutkimuksia sähköveneistä ei juurikaan ole. Siksi tämä työ on tarpeellinen. Tämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena on ollut selvittää sähköveneilyn historiaa ja sähköveneiden esiintyneisyyttä yleisesti, sekä sähköveneiden erilaisia kehittymismahdollisuuksia ja tulevaisuuden näkymiä. Opinnäytetyössä on perehdytty sähköveneen tärkeimpiin pääkomponentteihin ja näiden teknisiin vaikutuksiin ja kehitykseen. Lisäksi on perehdytty sähkömoottoreiden ja polttomoottoreiden eroihin, sähkömoottorin toimintaperiaatteeseen ja selvitetty, minkälaisia sähkövenetapahtumia maailmalla on. Työssä on vertailtu akkujen ominaisuuksia, erilaisia sähköperämoottoreita ja tehty vertailu polttomoottorista ja sähkömoottorista maailman nopeimmassa sähköveneessä. Työn tuloksena saatiin selville, että sähköveneellä on pitkä ja värikäs historia ja sähkövenetyyppejä on kehitelty monenlaisia. Sähköveneen akkuja

Prousalidis. In addition, I owe special thanks to PhD candidate, D. Spathis, for his support, valuable information and advices that he kindly offered. Last but not least, my utmost thankfulness extends to my family for their patience and full support during my studies. 2 © Copyright by Bakirtzoglou Christos 2017 All Rights Reserved 3 Abstract Humanity by necessity is being forced to reduce its carbon footprint and invest in operations aimed at limiting emissions and improving resource efficiency in order to achieve sustainable growth. Air pollution and climate change are intertwined and they have also started occurring. Ports, coastal cities and their local communities are amongst the most vulnerable to extreme weather conditions resulting from them. The concept of the all‐electric‐ship seems to be the optimal solution from shipping sector. The all‐electric‐ ship design which aims at supporting and promoting energy efficiency, if powered from electricity generated from renewable sources may claim to be a 100% zero‐emission transportation mean.
