Eighty-five of the three­ hundred man crew remained, for a time, operating the flotation plant on the east side of State Route 2033. Currently, the Reading Anthracite Coal Bagging Company oc­ cupies one modem building located southwest of the breaker on the west side of State Route 2033, and a salvage yard occupies the site of the former Reading Briquet Com­ pany. The Locust Summit Breaker and associated buildings remain abandoned. Significance: The Locust Summit Central Breaker is an example of a highly intact breaker com­ plex, significant for its history and technology.

  • CIVIL ACTION of HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT : : Vs
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA THE AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY : CIVIL ACTION OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT : : vs. : NO. 96-4473 : JAMES J. CURRAN, JR., ET. AL.: DECISION JOYNER, J. February , 1998 Plaintiff, The Automobile Insurance Company of Hartford, Connecticut (“AICHC) instituted this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2201 seeking a declaratory judgment that it is not obligated to defend or indemnify Defendant James J. Curran, Jr. for an accident involving a 1979 Mercedes 6.9 sedan. Defendant Curran, in turn, counter-claimed for declaratory relief in the form of an order decreeing that AICHC is so obligated. Following Judge Gawthrop’s denial of the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment, this matter was heard non-jury before the undersigned on March 11, 1997 and based upon the evidence presented, we now make the following findings of fact and conclusions of law. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Plaintiff AICHC is a Connecticut corporation with its principal place of business located in Hartford, Connecticut. (Plaintiff’s Complaint and Defendants’ Answers thereto, at ¶1). 2. Defendant James J. Curran, Jr. is an adult individual residing at 1402 Oak Road, Pottsville, Pennsylvania. (Plaintiff’s Complaint and Defendants’ Answers thereto, at ¶2; Curran Deposition Excerpts, Exhibit “H”). 3. Defendants Frank C. Williams, Jr. and Margaret A. Williams are adult individuals residing at Route 2, Box 97, Morgantown, Pennsylvania. (Plaintiff’s Complaint and Defendants’ Answers thereto, at ¶3). 4. Defendant Mercedes-Benz of North America, Inc. and Daimler-Benz North America Corporation are both Delaware corporations with their principal places of business located in states other than Connecticut and with places of business respectively located at 1633 Broadway, New York, New York and 1501 Lebanon Church Road, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

HOFFMAN Girard Estate [aalLands In Pennsyluania 1801-1884 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION *** &* "^^ V*-r*f5E INTERNATIONAL BOOK YEAR • 1972 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub­ lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.
