Policy 1 – Affordable Housing 1. Housing schemes which meet an identified local affordable housing need will be supported where: A) They are in accordance with Cornwall Council’s Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document; and B) Developer contributions can be used to fund the development of affordable housing in Bude-Stratton; 2. All new affordable homes should comply with the requirements set out within Cornwall Council’s Design Guide. 3. Mixed tenure schemes will be supported where designs are tenure blind ensuring that one type of tenure could not readily be identified from its design and quality 4. Affordable housing may differ from open market provision where it is demonstrated to meet an identified local need.

NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 173 PLATE 1 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 173 CATALOG OF THE MECHANICAL COLLECTIONS OF THE DIVISION OF ENGINEERING UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM BY FRANK A. TAYLOR UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1939 For lale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 50 cents ADVERTISEMENT Tlie scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collec- tions of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organi- zations and to specialists and others interested in the different sub- jects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. Tlie series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens and special collections, and other material of simi- lar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear vol- umes under the heading Contrihutions from the United States Na- tional Eerharium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (1–300 psi/0.069–20.684 bar; 6.895–2,068.427 kPa), but at pressures above this it is more usual to speak of a steam generator. An industrial boiler, originally used for supplying steam to a stationary steam engine A boiler or steam generator is used wherever a source of steam is required. The form and size depends on the application: mobile steam engines such as steam locomotives, portable engines and steam-powered road vehicles typically use a smaller boiler that forms an integral part of the vehicle; stationary steam engines, industrial installations and power stations will usually have a larger separate steam generating facility connected to the point-of-use by piping.

  • Heating & Ventilation
    HISTORIC BUILDING ENGINEERING SYSTEMS & EQUIPMENT HEATING & VENTILATION 1 Cover of catalogue of Hartley & Sugden, boilermakers of Halifax, 1873 1 2 This publication has been produced by English Heritage in association with the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers 2 Forward It is a sad fact that many involved in building services engineering pay little attention to the history of the industry in which they are involved. While we obviously need to ensure that our buildings are serviced in such a way to meet the needs of the 21st Century, all too often we sweep away our engineering past to replace this with modern technology and hi-tech solutions without consideration of what is being lost. In many instances this is due to that the fact that we do not recognise the significance of what is left. This publication, the first of a number providing an outline of some aspects of the history of building services engineering hopes in some small way to address this problem. We can learn much from the past to guide us in the future. I would like to thank the CIBSE Heritage Group and especially Brian Roberts; without the dedication and enthusiasm of this group not only would we lose knowledge of our building services engineering past, but it would not have been possible to produce this publication.

  • Building the Westminster Clock
    Big Ben and the history of the clock tower at the Palace of Westminster. (updated) By Heather Hobden, The Cosmic Elk. Part One The first clock tower at the Palace of Westminster was built between 1365 and 1367. It stood by the north wall at the end of the King's Gallery, immediately opposite the entrance to the Great Hall. The bell of the Westminster clock weighed just over 4 tons and was one of three ordered by King Edward III from (apply named) John Belleyetere. The charge in the Pipe Roll 41 of 1366-7 was £246-l6s.-8d. The clock was replaced by a new one by Agnes Dalavan in 1427. (An early example of a lady clockmaker, and not the only one). A large part of Westminster palace burned down in 1512. Just after King Henry VIII and Queen Katherine had moved in. They moved to Wolsey's residence of York House which was nearby. Wolsey did not own it, he was occupying it as he was Archbishop of York. That did not stop Henry VIII from taking it over permanently, and rebuilding it. He did this regardless of the neighbours. A people were living nearby were upset and angry at the road, their houses and their shops being destroyed to make York House more palatial. The palace was later called Whitehall. Westminster Palace had been rebuilt but was no longer used by the King as his residence. It was now used only for Parliament meetings and government offices. As part of the rebuilding, in 1530, the clock was renovated, and its four clock faces were painted and re- guilded.

LONDON: JOHN LANE THE BODLEY HEAD NEW YORK: JOHN LANE COMPANY MCMIX PLYMOUTH: WILLIAM BRENDON AND SON, LTD., PRINTERS PREFACE Cornwall, peopled mainly by Celts, but with an infusion of English blood, stands and always has stood apart from the rest of England, much, but in a less degree, as has Wales. That which brought it into more intimate association with English thought, interests, and progress was the loss of the old Cornish tongue. The isolation in which Cornwall had stood has tended to develop in it much originality of character; and the wildness of the coast has bred a hardy race of seamen and smugglers; the mineral wealth, moreover, drew thousands of men underground, and the underground life of the mines has a peculiar effect on mind and character: it is cramping in many ways, but it tends to develop a good deal of religious enthusiasm, that occasionally breaks forth in wild forms of fanaticism.
