  • The Story of a Man Called Daltone
    - The Story of a Man called Daltone - “A semi-fictional tale about my Dalton family, with history and some true facts told; or what may have been” This story starts out as a fictional piece that tries to tell about the beginnings of my Dalton family. We can never know how far back in time this Dalton line started, but I have started this when the Celtic tribes inhabited Britain many yeas ago. Later on in the narrative, you will read factual information I and other Dalton researchers have found and published with much embellishment. There also is a lot of old English history that I have copied that are in the public domain. From this fictional tale we continue down to a man by the name of le Sieur de Dalton, who is my first documented ancestor, then there is a short history about each successive descendant of my Dalton direct line, with others, down to myself, Garth Rodney Dalton; (my birth name) Most of this later material was copied from my research of my Dalton roots. If you like to read about early British history; Celtic, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Knight's, Kings, English, American and family history, then this is the book for you! Some of you will say i am full of it but remember this, “What may have been!” Give it up you knaves! Researched, complied, formated, indexed, wrote, edited, copied, copy-written, misspelled and filed by Rodney G. Dalton in the comfort of his easy chair at 1111 N – 2000 W Farr West, Utah in the United States of America in the Twenty First-Century A.D.

PREFACE. In bringing before the public a work that has for its specific subject the training of the racehorse, and incident- ally offers some observations on turf matters generally, the author feels the need of its indulgence. The experience gathered as the result of thirty years un- wearied labour in the management of a large racing-stud, is, he feels, the best apology he can put forward for the attempt to write comprehensively on matters never before so treated by a trainer. In order to inform, to please, and to encourage the student, a thorough knowledge of the subject must be supplemented by facts clearly stated, and by arguments based on experiences that have stood the test of time. It is perhaps too common to represent technical or professional matters as full of mystery to the unlearned. Such a pre- tence would be out of place here. Our subject is one easy J of comprehension, and it is the intention and desire of the writer to apply to it the simple treatment of which it is susceptible ; to set forth practical knowledge and important and ascertained truths deduced from daily observation in a 3 —t? manner intelligible to the ordinary reader.

  • Speed of Light and Other Stellar Effects” - Oct 2017
    “The speed of light and other stellar effects” - Oct 2017 This month our talk was by Bruce Vickery, who took us on a fascinating voyage of astronomical discovery related to the period from the late 1600's to the mid 1700's. The “Speed of Light” was a significant thread in the talk and the speaker began with Galileo's failed attempt of the early 1600's where he tried to arrive at a result by timing light over about two miles. Moving on, the first person to measure the speed of light was Ole Romer, a Danish astronomer who was studying the orbit of Io, the innermost satellite of Jupiter. Romer correctly deduced that difficulties he had in timing this orbit were related to light taking longer to reach earth when Jupiter was further away in its orbit. Working backwards from the observational data he arrived at a speed of 200,000 km/ sec. Although around 33% incorrect – attributed later to the imprecise dimensions of the Solar System known at the time - Romer became the first person in history to measure the speed of light. The scene then shifts to the creation of Greenwich Royal Observatory and the development of precision measurements of the celestial sphere. In particular, the talk focusses on the investigation of the behaviour of Gamma Draconis. This star is in the zenith over London and is a prime candidate for measuring any small movements that a star may make. Stellar Parallax was of particular interest as although Copernicus hypothesised a helio-centric universe in 1543, to date no one had found any proof that this was correct.
