When George Stephenson's LOCOMOTION hauled the first steam powered train on any public railway in the world on Sept. 27, 1825, from Shildon to Stockton-Quay, with 10 loaded coal trucks, 21 waggons fitted with temporary seats and a solitary passenger coach named EXPERIMENT, it was certain that, one day, someone would have the idea of saving some railway equipment to commemorate this historic event.

    NG 15, loco no. 134 Last repair book whilst in use by SAR from Humewood Road Mostly translated from Afrikaans, by Martin Coombs, with help from members of the SAR-L e-mail group including Pierre de Wet, James Smith, Aidan McCarthy and Keith Simmons. Further assistance from the bilingual diagrams in the SAR Handbook on the Steam Locomotive for Enginemen and Running Shed Staff, and from the online Afrikaans-English dictionary at <http://www.websters-online- dictionary.org/definition/Afrikaans-english/index7.html>. Notes: Repair books tend to be written in a hurry by drivers at the end of their shifts, using whatever writing implement was to hand. In addition drivers may not be particular- ly literate or good at spelling, and may use colloquialisms. Thus translating such a document is not easy and there have been one or two times when I have had to make a guess at what was written. However, in 99% of cases I think the general meaning has been clear. Key: ??? or Illeg. implies that there is a word or words that cannot be deciphered. Text in red remains in Afrikaans for lack of a translation. Text in blue is comment by me. Implications: As one correspondent commented, most of the minor problems will be sorted during the normal processes of restoration but the references in the later pages to serious leakage from stays or foundation ring rivets on the rear left of the firebox need to be taken more seriously. I think ‘klinknaels ‘ means rivets rather than stays (= ankers) but drivers might have used the term indiscriminately.

No one can expect, in a history of astronomy of limited size, to find a treatise on "practical" or on "theoretical astronomy," nor a complete "descriptive astronomy," and still less a book on "speculative astronomy." Something of each of these is essential, however, for tracing the progress of thought and knowledge which it is the object of this History to describe.

    PHASES Differential Astrometry and Iodine Cell Radial Velocities of the κ Pegasi Triple Star System Matthew W. Muterspaugh1, Benjamin F. Lane1, Maciej Konacki2, Sloane Wiktorowicz2, Bernard F. Burke1, M. M. Colavita3, S. R. Kulkarni4, M. Shao3 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT κ Pegasi is a well-known, nearby triple star system. It consists of a “wide” pair with semi-major axis 235 milli-arcseconds, one component of which is a single-line spectroscopic binary (semi-major axis 2.5 milli-arcseconds). Using high-precision differential astrometry and radial velocity observations, the masses for all three components are determined and the relative inclinations between the wide and narrow pairs’ orbits is found to be 43.8±3.0 degrees, just over the threshold for the three body Kozai resonance. The system distance is determined to 34.60 ± 0.21 parsec, and is consistent with trigonometric parallax measurements.
