According to the theory of stability of motion of the rotor movement gives the big projection on the axis than gyroscope, ignoring the forces of viscous friction. Classical equation motion projects a steady state, based on the definition of generalized coordinates. The object is not part of its components, that is evident in force the normal reaction relations, as well as the rotor is that any variable rotation in horizontal plane would be directed along the axis. Movable object, according to equations of Lagrange, is nonlinear. The movement of the satellite, according to equations of Lagrange, gives big projection on the axis than the PIG, which can be seen from the equations of the kinetic energy of the rotor.

Prince of Wales’ Saloon”
Great Northern Railway Society Transcript of an article in the Great Northern News The Great Northern Railway “Prince of Wales’ Saloon” by Sandy Maclean & Bill Shannon Ed's introduction: The "Royal Train Special" issue of GNN (No. 118) contained as much as I then was able to find out about the GNR's 1889 Prince of Wales' Saloon. However, as a result of contacts with colleagues in the North British Railway Association and the Scottish Railway Preservation Society, I can now publish further information on this unique vehicle. We begin with the vehicle's history, compiled by Sandy Maclean of the North British Railway Association and a former Coaching Rolling Stock Officer at BR Scottish Region HQ, from various sources including records in the National Archives of Scotland. According to F A S Brown in his book GREAT NORTHERN LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS, it came about when the General Manager told his Board on 31st May, 1888 that the London & North Western Railway, in addition to the suite of coaches provided for Queen Victoria, had built a new carriage for the Prince of Wales. He considered that the then Great Northern equivalent "did not shine by contrast". In view of the known preference for the Royal Household to travel to Scotland by the West Coast route, it appears that the decision to build this car at all was perhaps more one of faith and hope, than operational or commercial necessity. Royal saloons were strictly for royalty! Patrick Stirling stated that he could not build a suitable coach at Doncaster Works, and suggested that Messrs Craven Brothers of Sheffield, could do the job.

Railways List
A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

Gwynn Jones) SIDELINES 143 FEBRUARY 2016 WOLVERHAMPTON LOW LEVEL STATION COMES BACK TO LIFE FOR HRA AWARDS NIGHT. The Grand Station banqueting centre, once the GWR’s most northerly broad gauge station, came back to life as a busy passenger station when it hosted the Heritage Railway Association 2015 Awards Night. The HRA Awards recognise a wide range of achievements and distinctions across the entire heritage railway industry, and the awards acknowledge individuals and institutions as well as railways. The February 6th event saw the presentation of awards in eight categories. The National Railway Museum and York Theatre Royal won the Morton’s Media (Heritage Railways) Interpretation Award, for an innovative collaboration that joined theatre with live heritage steam, when the Museum acted as a temporary home for the theatre company. The Railway Magazine Annual Award for Services to Railway Preservation was won by David Woodhouse, MBE, in recognition of his remarkable 60-year heritage railways career, which began as a volunteer on the Talyllyn Railway, and took him to senior roles across the heritage railways and tourism industry. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway won the Morton’s Media (Rail Express) Modern Traction Award, for their diesel locomotive operation, which included 160 days working for their Crompton Class 25. There were two winners of the Steam Railway Magazine Award. The Great Little Trains of North Wales was the name used by the judges to describe the Bala Lake Railway, Corris Railway, Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway, Talyllyn Railway, Vale of Rheidol Railway and the Welshpool & Llanfair Railway.

The Treachery of Strategic Decisions
The treachery of strategic decisions. An Actor-Network Theory perspective on the strategic decisions that produce new trains in the UK. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael John King. May 2021 Abstract The production of new passenger trains can be characterised as a strategic decision, followed by a manufacturing stage. Typically, competing proposals are developed and refined, often over several years, until one emerges as the winner. The winning proposition will be manufactured and delivered into service some years later to carry passengers for 30 years or more. However, there is a problem: evidence shows UK passenger trains getting heavier over time. Heavy trains increase fuel consumption and emissions, increase track damage and maintenance costs, and these impacts could last for the train’s life and beyond. To address global challenges, like climate change, strategic decisions that produce outcomes like this need to be understood and improved. To understand this phenomenon, I apply Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to Strategic Decision-Making. Using ANT, sometimes described as the sociology of translation, I theorise that different propositions of trains are articulated until one, typically, is selected as the winner to be translated and become a realised train. In this translation process I focus upon the development and articulation of propositions up to the point where a winner is selected. I propose that this occurs within a valuable ‘place’ that I describe as a ‘decision-laboratory’ – a site of active development where various actors can interact, experiment, model, measure, and speculate about the desired new trains.

Signature of Candidate: ______________________________________________________ Print name: Robert Luke Wilkinson 1 | P a g e Abstract Although the Home Front in Britain during the First World War has received a great deal more attention in recent years, the role of the railways has been largely overlooked. Yet the railways were crucial in maintaining the war effort and wartime economy, transporting not only weaponry and troops, but food items for both the domestic population and the forces; mail travelling to and from the front lines, and essential commodities such as coal for the nation’s navy.

Since its outset in 1994, a key aim of the event has been to raise awareness of the incredible heritage on our doorsteps and the importance of protecting this for future generations. More and more these days there is a recognition of the value sites have for local communities and the educational and economic benefits this can bring. The events of this programme not only help us learn about the past, but also learn from the past. I am particularly pleased that one of the highlights this year to launch the festival will be a keynote talk by Professor Richard Oram who’ll be using archaeological evidence and historical records to explore the impact of past climatic deterioration on the culture and society of the Highlands.
