  • Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153
    Appendix 1 Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153 Introduction The Elliott 152 computer was part of the Admiralty’s MRS5 (medium range system 5) naval gunnery project, described in Chap. 2. The Elliott 153 computer, also known as the D/F (direction-finding) computer, was built for GCHQ and the Admiralty as described in Chap. 3. The information in this appendix is intended to supplement the overall descriptions of the machines as given in Chaps. 2 and 3. A1.1 The Elliott 152 Work on the MRS5 contract at Borehamwood began in October 1946 and was essen- tially finished in 1950. Novel target-tracking radar was at the heart of the project, the radar being synchronized to the computer’s clock. In his enthusiasm for perfecting the radar technology, John Coales seems to have spent little time on what we would now call an overall systems design. When Harry Carpenter joined the staff of the Computing Division at Borehamwood on 1 January 1949, he recalls that nobody had yet defined the way in which the control program, running on the 152 computer, would interface with guns and radar. Furthermore, nobody yet appeared to be working on the computational algorithms necessary for three-dimensional trajectory predic- tion. As for the guns that the MRS5 system was intended to control, not even the basic ballistics parameters seemed to be known with any accuracy at Borehamwood [1, 2]. A1.1.1 Communication and Data-Rate The physical separation, between radar in the Borehamwood car park and digital computer in the laboratory, necessitated an interconnecting cable of about 150 m in length.

  • 5. Key Environmental Issues
    RAF Uxbridge, LB Hillingdon Environmental Statement, Scoping Report 5. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES 5.1 The key environmental effects of the proposed development are considered below. Circular 2/99 (paragraph 82) recommends that the role of EIA is to examine “the ‘main’ or ‘significant’ effects to which a development is likely to give rise”. The purpose of scoping is to determine, from a review of all possible effects, those that are likely to be significant and to ensure that resources and time are focussed on an examination of only those effects that are likely to give rise to significant effects. Schedule 4 of the EIA Regulations provides guidance by listing the elements of the environment which might be affected by the development including: population; fauna; flora; soil; water; air; climatic factors; material assets; landscape and the inter – relationship between them. 5.2 Having regard to the above, and following consideration of the potential effects likely to arise from the propose development, the environmental issues to be considered in the ES have been categorised under the following headings: Human Beings; Transport; Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Noise and Vibration; Soils, Geology and Ground Contamination; Water Resources; Ecology; Landscape, Townscape and Visual; Archaeology and Cultural Heritage; and Waste Management 5.3 This section provides the following information under each of the above headings: Summary of the existing environment; Preliminary identification of effects; and Breakdown of the proposed EIA methodology. Human Beings 5.4 This section provides a preliminary assessment of the baseline socio-economic conditions and predicted changes. The findings are set out below.

  • Commodore John Barry
    Commodore John Barry Day, 13th September Commodore John Barry (1745-1803) a native of County Wexford, Ireland was a Continental Navy hero of the American War for Independence. Barry’s many victories at sea during the Revolution were important to the morale of the Patriots as well as to the successful prosecution of the War. When the First Congress, acting under the new Constitution of the United States, authorized the raising and construction of the United States Navy, President George Washington turned to Barry to build and lead the nation’s new US Navy, the successor to the Continental Navy. On 22 February 1797, President Washington conferred upon Barry, with the advice and consent of the Senate, the rank of Captain with “Commission No. 1,” United States Navy, effective 7 June 1794. Barry supervised the construction of his own flagship, the USS UNITED STATES. As commander of the first United States naval squadron under the Constitution, which included the USS CONSTITUTION (“Old Ironsides”), Barry was a Commodore with the right to fly a broad pennant, which made him a flag officer. Commodore John Barry By Gilbert Stuart (1801) John Barry served as the senior officer of the United States Navy, with the title of “Commodore” (in official correspondence) under Presidents George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The ships built by Barry, and the captains selected, as well as the officers trained, by him, constituted the United States Navy that performed outstanding service in the “Quasi-War” with France, in battles with the Barbary Pirates and in America’s Second War for Independence (the War of 1812).
