PUBLISHED BY THE HARTFORD STEAM BOILER INSPECTION AND INSURANCE COM^AHY. New Series—Vol. I. HARTFORD, CONN., JANUARY, 1880. No. 1. Explosion of the "Lehigh." From the records of the coroner's court held in Hoboken, N. J., November, 1879, it appears that the Lehigh, which exploded in that city on the 28th of October, 1879, killing the engineer and fireman, was a passenger locomotive that had been remodeled in 1874. at which time the boiler was new. It had been in constant service, except while undergoing slight repairs, since May, 1874, on the Morris & Essex division of the D., L. & W. R. R. It was rebuilt under the direction of the master mechanic of the division, and was stayed in an extraordinary manner, having over fifty sling stays from the arch of the wagon top to the crown bars of the furnace, arranged in four rows, set as near radial to the arch as prac- ticable, Figs. 1 and 2. There were also hori- zontal cross stays from side to side of the shell between the crown bars, one to about every 5£ inches, and the crown bars were spaced the same distance apart, and consisted each of two broad parallel bars seated edgewise on the edge of the side plates of the furnaces and^ecured to the crown sheet by bolts, washers, and gibbs in the usual manner. See Fig. 1. The shell of 5 the boiler was made of T g iron plate, marked C.

  • PUBLIC BATH NO. 7, 227-231 Fourth Avenue, Borough of Brooklyn
    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 11, 1984; Designation List 171 LP-1287 PUBLIC BATH NO. 7, 227-231 Fourth Avenue, Borough of Brooklyn. Built 1906-10; architect Raymond F. Almirall. Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 955, Lot 1. On April 4, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark oJ Public Bath No. 7 and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 11). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. The hearing was continued to June 8, 1982. One witness spoke in favor of designa­ tion. There were no speakers in opposition to designation . Two letters have been received in favor of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS When opened in 1910, Brooklyn 1 s Public Bath No. 7 was described as being the most ornate public bath which had been constructed in that borough; it was also the first in Brooklyn to boast a 11 plunge11 or swimming pool. None of . tts predecessors survive today. Designed by Raymond F. Almirall, Public Bath No. 7 is a striking example of the nee-Renaissance style employed for many of the public baths constructed in New York City during the first decade of this century. Use of this style had the effect of giving the act of bathing as much importance as those activities conducted in such similarly styled buildings of the per- iod as banks and libraries; cleanliness was thereby promoted.

HARTFORD, CONK, JANUARY, 1883. No. 1. Upright Boiler for Heating Water. The boiler which we illustrate below is not for generating steam, but for heating water. It was designed by Mr. J. M. Allen, for the purpose of supplying hot water to EAONT ELEVATION SECTION laundry, bath-rooms, and wash-bowls, in a large public institution. It is made of ^ inch iron, riveted up in the same manner as an ordinal^ vertical boiler. It sets upon a brick or cast iron base, in which is the ash pit. The grate is of the ordinary hot air furnace 78606 — THE LOCOMOTIVE. [January, pattern, and can be easily shaken or " dumped." The furnace is small, as compared with the size of the boiler, being only 18 inches in diameter. The boiler is 36 inches diameter. This gives water legs, or water safes of about 9 inches. The door frame and mouth are flanged on to the boiler shell and furnace sheets. The smoke pipe or " out-take " is smaller, but attached in the same way. This hot water boiler can be set up anywhere, near a chimney. A common sheet iron stove pipe being all that is neces- sary to connect it with the chimney. It has three hand-holes, just above the bottom head for facility of cleaning. There is a man-hole on top, also a safety valve, and supply and PLAN SECTION ON a.h feed pipes.

  • Briefing on the Beaufort's Dyke in the Irish Sea – an Environmental and Radiation Dumping Ground and a Nuclear Submarine Training Area I
    NFLA Radioactive Waste Policy Briefing Number 84: Beaufort’s Dyke and nuclear risks Prepared for NFLA member authorities, November 2020 Briefing on the Beaufort's Dyke in the Irish Sea – an environmental and radiation dumping ground and a nuclear submarine training area i. Overview of Policy Briefing This edition of the NFLA Radioactive Waste Policy has been developed for the NFLA Secretariat by independent marine radioactivity consultant Tim Deere-Jones following a request from councillors attending the most recent meeting of the NFLA All Ireland Sustainable Energy Forum. Independent marine radioactivity consultant Tim Deere-Jones had provided a presentation on a ‘near-miss’ incident between a large passenger and car ferry and a nuclear submarine in a part of the Irish Sea called the Beaufort’s Dyke. A report on this incident can be found at NFLA Policy Briefing 203, which can be downloaded from the NFLA website here: https://www.nuclearpolicy.info/wp/wp- content/uploads/2020/07/A316_NB203_Nuclear_submarine_ferry_near_miss_incident.pdf Tim was asked by members to provide further details on the Beaufort’s Dyke area of the Irish Sea and its history as a location for dumping munitions and radioactive materials, as well as its role as a nuclear submarine training area, which is provided below. The NFLA sincerely thanks Tim for providing this briefing. The NFLA is planning to ask local MPs, MLAs, TDs and members of the House of Lords to put questions on these issues in relevant legislative assemblies. ii. Executive Summary This review concludes that the Beaufort’s Dyke deep water feature is an integral part of a very busy commercial waterway through the “choke point” of the North Channel of the Irish Sea.

    United Nations ST/SG/AC.10/C.3/2012/99 Secretariat Distr.: General 21 September 2012 Original: English Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Forty-second session Geneva, 3 – 11 December 2012 Item 9 of the provisional agenda Programme or work for the biennium 2013–2014 Applicability of the Model Regulations to the transport of dangerous goods in road tank-vehicles Note by the secretariat1 Background 1. The secretariat has received a request for clarification from Peru concerning the applicability of the Model Regulations to the transport of dangerous goods in road tank- vehicles. 2. In the context of the Model Regulations road tank-vehicles fall within the definition of “tank” and are specifically excluded from the definition of “portable tank”. 3. However, the provisions and requirements relating to the use, design, construction, inspection and testing of tanks (Chapters 4.2 and 6.7), as well as the instructions and special provisions listed in columns 10 and 11 of the Dangerous Goods List, only refer to “portable tanks”. 4.
