(Part Three) 1961-1990 Descended from millowner Henry Taylor and wife Sarah (nee Crosland), George Crosland Taylor and brother James were early entrepreneurs with an interest in everything electrical and mechanical. In 1906, George (always referred to as Crosland) bought two cars and a chassis, built by French company Morane, at the same time renting a warehouse in Chester, with the idea of assembling and selling the French designed cars. It soon became apparent that much more capital was needed and various people were persuaded to invest in the new company, including his French associate, Georges de Ville.

  • 223 Introduction
    ENGINES FOR PETROL COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. 223 ENGINES FOR PETROL COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. By W. D. WILLIAYSON INTRODUCTION. THE purpose of the first portion of the paper is to put formd for consideration certain factors governing the sizes of engines suitable for use in commercial vehicles, and by promoting dis- cussion upon the points raised to endeavour to direct effort towards greater uniformity and possibly a closer co-operation among commercial vehicle manufacturers and engine builders, to the general advantage of the industry. Secondly, by an examination of well known successful types of engines, an endeavour is made to outline modern practice, and to arrive at simple. formulae covering those parts where commercial vehicle engines may be said to depart from current pleasure car design on account of the different conditions of service. In a paper to be kept within reasonable limits, it is impossible to go deeply into all the points worthy of attention-a volume might be written on the possibilities of the split pin-but if only some of the points touched upon prove of interest, or serve to bring forward helpful discussion, the author’s purpose will be served. In the present paper it is proposed to deal only with enginea for vehicles having a useful capacity of two tons and upwards, EO that artificial restrictions imposed by a tax based on the bore of the cylinders do not apply. The problem presented in the design syld construction of engines for commercial vehicles differ very considerably from those involved in engines for pleasure car work. The plea- sure car designer has constantly befom him the question of horse-power output for cylinder capacity, and having done all Downloaded from pau.sagepub.com at Kungl Tekniska Hogskolan / Royal Institute of Technology on June 4, 2016 224 THE INSTITUTION OF AUTOMOHILE ENGINEPHS.

  • 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.

  • 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.

In particular, there are simply too few corporate affairs and communications directors being considered for NED (non-executive director) roles. Having discussed this issue with numerous communications leaders over the past 12 months, the majority seem to agree. One of the key aims of Cayhill Partners, the communications executive search and research firm, is to open up career development opportunities for senior communications professionals. That means exploring the path that leads to new senior executive roles both within the communications world and beyond, but also considering what NED positions can offer. I believe they are a powerful way of further developing leadership skills and can boost careers in communications that often follow a somewhat linear path.

    Page 1 Page 1 ELECTRAIL COLOUR SLIDES List 30 List 30 01/02/12 Electric Railway Society, 17 Catherine Drive, SUTTON COLDFIELD, England, B73 6AX. ELECTRAIL is a range of colour slides depicting tramcars in Britain and overseas, electric trains, and coastal pleasure steamers – especially those that connected with electrified railway routes such as along the Clyde Estuary or along the South Coast of England. The slides are 35mm colour images generally mounted in plastic mounts measuring 2” x 2”. A very few of our earliest views are in card mounts of the same size. It is now becoming difficult to find photographic labs that are capable of producing these copy slides in quite large numbers at a reasonable cost and as a result the stocks of most of the slides contained in this list are becoming low and it will be impossible to obtain more copies of many of them. Where stocks are particularly low this is indicated in the list. UK orders. Please send to address at top of this page. Each slide costs 30p and cheques should be made payable to “Electric Railway Society”. Orders sent to UK addresses are post free. Overseas orders. Slides cost 30p each. The cost of processing cheques drawn on an overseas bank is prohibitive but cheques drawn on a UK bank are accepted. An inexpensive means of payment from the nations using the Euro, the US $, or the Canadian $ is to enclose pay for the order using €, US$ or Can $ currency notes. Please do not use coins since these can go missing in the post.
