Copyright © 2010 by Cecil Munsey Munsey ––––––––––––––––––––- CODD BOTTLES ––––––––––––––––––––– Page 2 A Bottle… …is defined as a container with a neck that is narrower than the body and has a “mouth.” Bottles are often made of glass, clay, plastic, aluminum or other impervious materials, and are typically used to store liquids such as water, milk, soft drinks, beer, wine, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo, ink and chemicals. A device applied to seal the mouth of a bottle is termed an external bottle cap, closure, or an internal stopper such as the Codd bottle stopper featured in this monograph. The bottle has been developed over more than 1,000 years. Some of the earliest examples appeared in China, Phoenicia, Rome and Crete. In modern times bottles are a part of every culture. PART A THEN (19th and 20th Centuries) At first, carbonated drinks were contained in stoneware bottles, but these had a tendency to allow the gas to leak and consequently make the drink “flat.” As a result, makers began to use glass for their bottles. A problem with the glass bottles was that the pressure of the gas within the bottle could force the cork stopper out especially if the cork dried out. Most shopkeepers were reluctant to store the drinks on their side to keep the cork wet, so bottle manufacturers adopted a new shape devised by an Irishman, William Hamilton in 1809.

  • Dearne Valley Eco-Vision Final Report.Pdf
    DEARNE VALLEY ECO-VISION “Perhaps we cannot raise the winds. But each of us can put up a sail, so that when the wind comes we can catch it.” E.F.Schumacher ‘The future of the Dearne Valley will be re-imagined by an eco-vision. The vision is of a place transformed by the know-how of its people and by the imagination and commitment of its communities and enterprises. It will be a place defined by action, in the knowledge that time is running out for the status quo. Within a decade it will be the lowest carbon community of its kind in the country. A pioneer proud to tell its story and share its experiences. Using its distinct resources, assets and potential as a foundation, the Dearne will build a lean, green economy in preparation for the challenges that lie ahead. But above all the eco-vision will rekindle the work ethic of the Dearne’s forefathers, providing a renewed sense of purpose and inspiration for the next generation.’ Published May 009 Sheffield City Region The Source 00 Meadowhall Way Sheffield S9 EA Tel: 0 6 5685 Email: [email protected] Web: www.sheffieldcityregion.org.uk The Dearne Valley eco-vision was commissioned by the Dearne Valley Special Board, one of the Sheffield City Region’s five thematic working groups. The eco-vision was produced by Nick Dodd, Jonathan Brown and John Sampson from URBED, with support from Richard Hindley, Nick Gardner and Joanne Parkin at SQW, and Jonathan Turner and Sarah Bull from DTZ. The authors wish to acknowledge the support of Joanne Wehrle from Rotherham Council, Martin Cantor from Barnsley Council and Stuart Jenkinson from the Environment Agency, as well as members of the Dearne Valley Officers Group and other key consultees (see Chapter 8 for a listing), in developing the eco-vision.
