    E4NTASW FICTION HELD Founded by Julius Unger Volume 1 ... BI-WEEKLY ... Number 12 June 18, 1963 The National Fantasy Review Whole Number 12 PALMER, SHAVER in Pornography Probe The Milwaukee area recently had itself a real l'who-done-it’* mystery. In the confusion the finger of suspicion was pointed at former AMAZING STORIES editor Raymond A. Palmer and ''Shaver Mystery" author Richard S, Shaver. Seems the whole thing developed as a result of Cleveland * Amory's article in SATURDAY EVENING POST on the subject of pornography, _ wherein Freedom Publishing Company was cited as "the worst of the worst" among the paperback companies peddling alleged pornography. Amory listed the publisher’s address as Milwaukee, which put the Milwau­ kee County District Attorney in the position of having to do some inves­ tigating. THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL, who gave the story several days of feature coverage, said the DA received a complaint about the books from a New York Roman Catholic priest. As the mystery unfolded, it was discovered that the address the company listed was actually that of a Milwaukee attorney who said he did some legal work for them and used his office as an address for service of papers, as the law requires an address for that purpose for corpora­ tions. He said he had earlier resigned, and another lawyer had taken over his functions. This attorney said all he did was handle financial statements and foreward mail to the man he said was the-firm's presi­ dent, Richard Shaver, who lives in Lanark, near Amherst, Wisconsin.

  • Stab Resistant Body Armour
    IAN HORSFALL STAB RESISTANT BODY ARMOUR COLLEGE OF DEFENCE TECHNOLOGY SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF PhD CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY ENGINEERING SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF PhD 1999-2000 IAN HORSFALL STAB RESISTANT BODY ARMOUR SUPERVISOR DR M. R. EDWARDS MARCH 2000 ©Cranfield University, 2000. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT There is now a widely accepted need for stab resistant body armour for the police in the UK. However, very little research has been done on knife resistant systems and the penetration mechanics of sharp projectiles are poorly understood. This thesis explores the general background to knife attack and defence with a particular emphasis on the penetration mechanics of edged weapons. The energy and velocity that can be achieved in stabbing actions has been determined for a number of sample populations. The energy dissipated against the target was shown to be primarily the combined kinetic energy of the knife and the arm of the attacker. The compliance between the hand and the knife was shown to significantly affect the pattern of energy delivery. Flexibility and the resulting compliance of the armour was shown to have a significant effect upon the absorption of this kinetic energy. The ability of a knife to penetrate a variety of targets was studied using an instrumented drop tower. It was found that the penetration process consisted of three stages, indentation, perforation and further penetration as the knife slides through the target. Analysis of the indentation process shows that for slimmer indenters, as represented by knives, frictional forces dominate, and indentation depth becomes dependent upon the coefficient of friction between indenter and sample.

    L ARTE INTEGRADO EN LA BATALLA. ESTUDIO TECNOLÓGICO PREVIO A LA RESTAURACIÓN E DE CINCO ARMADURAS JAPONESAS DEL MUSEO DEL EJÉRCITO DE TOLEDO MARTA PLAZA BELTRÁN // JORGE RIVAS LÓPEZ1 Departamento de Pintura-Restauración. Universidad Complutense de Madrid Abstract: Throughout the eighteenth century the Chinoiserie style spread among the European courts. Based on Chinese and Japanese models, it was reflected both in painting and in architecture, as well as in decorative and textile arts. During this period many oriental items were imported from the Far East in order to decorate palaces and mansions. This was a determining factor for the increment of exotic art collecting, like Japanese lacquerware and Chinese porcelain. Samurai armours represent an exceptional example, which are veritable masterpieces made with remarkable complexity and using a great variety of materials. The main purpose of this article is to show the results prior to the intervention on the restoration of the collection of Japanese ar- mours belonging to the Army Museum in Toledo, Spain. In this way, a formal and symbolic analysis of the different elements involved in these sets will be exposed, as well as the most applied artistic technique to de- corate them: the Japanese lacquer. Key words: armour / samurai / artistic techniques / lacquer. Resumen: A lo largo del siglo XVIII la moda Chinoiserie se difundió entre las cortes europeas. Basada en mo- delos chinos y japoneses, la veremos reflejada tanto en la pintura como en la arquitectura, las artes decorativas o el arte textil. Durante este periodo se importaron numerosos objetos de Extremo Oriente con destino a los palacios y casas señoriales, factor determinante en el auge del coleccionismo de piezas de arte exótico, como las lacas japonesas y la porcelana china.
