    British Engineering in the Twentieth Century.doc Page 1 of 2 The British Thomson Houston company was formed in 1896, though its roots date back some ten years earlier. Manufacturing in the UK started in Rugby in March 1902 with a factory of 206,000 sq. ft. The plant produced its first turbo-alternator in 1905 and in 1907 BTH engaged in a joint venture with Wolseley Motors to construct petrol-electric buses. 1909 saw the Company involved in providing electrical equipment for the first trolley buses in London. From day one, the company was connected with the manufacture of incandescent lamps. In 1911 they obtained all the GE patents for drawn-wire tungsten filaments and the Mazda trade mark. Leading up to the Second World War, BTH was heavily involved in jet engine design and when the war began it manufactured magnetos, compressors, switchgear and was involved in the development of radar. On the 1st January 1960 BTH and Metropolitan Vickers were merged into AEI (Associated Electrical Industries Limited) and the BTH and MV names were lost forever in the world of electrical engineering. The American-owned firm British Westinghouse was responsible for the formation of Metropolitan-Vickers. MV was established in 1899 and located in Trafford Park, Manchester. This was an industrial area that became the focal point of many of MV’s activities. Metrovick was particularly successful in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand and, in 1922 alone, provided £1 million worth of railway traction equipment to South Africa. The 1920s was a period of considerable development for Metrovick with technical advances in the manufacture of turbines, generators, switchgear and industrial motors.

  • Research Organizations in British Shipbuilding and Large Marine
    Research Organisations in British Shipbuilding and Large Marine Engine Manufacture: 1945-1959 (Part II) Hugh Murphy Cet article fait suite à la première partie, qui traitait de la période 1900 à 1944. Ici, l’auteur étudie l’impact de la British Ship Research Association, de la Parsons Marine Turbine Research and Development Association et, de façon tangentielle, d’un groupe de conseil en recherche privé, le Yarrow Admiralty Research Department (Y-ARD), une filiale de Yarrow Shipbuilders établie dans le district Scotstoun de la rivière Upper Clyde, et le National Physical Laboratory (NPL). Il traite également de William Doxford & Sons, avant d’évaluer l’impact individuel et collectif de ces sociétés jusqu’en 1959, ainsi que la situation générale de la construction navale britannique et la fabrication de gros moteurs maritimes. This article follows on directly from Part 1 covering the period 1900-1944, published in the last issue. Here I examine the impact of the British Ship Research Association (BSRA) and Parsons Marine Turbine Research and Development Association (PAMETRADA). Tangentially I review one private research consultancy cluster, the Yarrow Admiralty Research Department (YARD) an offshoot of Yarrow Shipbuilders, Scotstoun, on the Upper Clyde, and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). I also consider Wm Doxford & Sons, before assessing their individual and collective impact up to 1959, and the general situation in British shipbuilding and large marine engine manufacture.

  • Gas Turbines in Simple Cycle and Combined Cycle Applications
    GAS TURBINES IN SIMPLE CYCLE & COMBINED CYCLE APPLICATIONS* Gas Turbines in Simple Cycle Mode Introduction The gas turbine is the most versatile item of turbomachinery today. It can be used in several different modes in critical industries such as power generation, oil and gas, process plants, aviation, as well domestic and smaller related industries. A gas turbine essentially brings together air that it compresses in its compressor module, and fuel, that are then ignited. Resulting gases are expanded through a turbine. That turbine’s shaft continues to rotate and drive the compressor which is on the same shaft, and operation continues. A separate starter unit is used to provide the first rotor motion, until the turbine’s rotation is up to design speed and can keep the entire unit running. The compressor module, combustor module and turbine module connected by one or more shafts are collectively called the gas generator. The figures below (Figures 1 and 2) illustrate a typical gas generator in cutaway and schematic format. Fig. 1.

  • Hornsby Steam Tractor Statement of Significance
    Regional District of Mount Waddington Statement of Significance for the Hornsby Steam Crawler December 2014 https://sites.google.com/site/hornsbysteamcrawler/home Denise Cook Design 764 Donegal Place North Vancouver, BC V7N 2X7 604-626-2710 [email protected] Historical Chronology Time Frame Concurrent Events 1815 Richard Hornsby & Sons, a large manufacturer of steam engines and agricultural equipment, is founded in Grantham, Lincolnshire. Lincolnshire is an industrial heartland, home to mills, malt works, drainage systems, farms, factories and engineering workshops, while the city of Grantham held well-known industrial firms such as Ruston & Hornsby, Aveling & Porter machine works, British Manufacture and Research Company and others. 1890 Herbert Akroyd Stuart and Charles Richard Binney begin producing engines that operate by vaporizing air and fuel during the suction stroke of the engine. Easily operated, the engine could run continually on paraffin and lamp oil to provide power anywhere. 1891 Hornsby & Sons enters into an exclusive contract with Herbert Akroyd Stuart to construct the Hornsby-Akroyd oil engine. 1892 The first Hornsby-Akroyd oil engines are manufactured to great success and Hornsby begins selling them world-wide, building a reputation for quality and reliability. Later in the year a prototype high-pressure version of the engine is built at Hornsby & Sons. Ignition was achieved entirely through compression; it may be the first known diesel engine. The company phases out the manufacture of steam engines to focus on oil-driven engines. 1896 George Carmack and his companions discover gold on Bonanza (then Rabbit) Creek in Yukon, near the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike rivers, and the Klondike Gold Rush begins.
