BY H. E. ADSIEAD, B.A. IT has for some years now been the standard practice to give the atmospheric pressure in millibars instead of inches. As old barometric instruments do not contain this graduation, I hope the following article will induce some to add it to their aneroids, etc. One advantage in so doing is that the eye becomes accustomed to the look of the J scale, and then the mind ceases to oppose a prejudice against what is a scientific improve- ment. What are millibars ? Those whose school days have gone a long way back may satisfy themselves by saying it is a " pounds -per- square -inch graduation in the metric system." - Pressure is always given as the quotient of a force by an area ; unit pressure is unit force on unit area. The metric force unit is a dyne, the area unit a square centimetre. This unit is very small, and a million such units are taken as the barometric unit and called a " bar," and this is about the average air pressure. To save decimals, we work in An Aneroid barometer with the new scale fitted, thousandths and say we have 970, 1,000, by means of which it is possible to take readings direct in millibar .t. 1,050 millibars, as the case may be, rather than 097o, 1.000, P050 bars. We are already eleven parts. It will not be necessary to employ accustomed to millimetres, milliamps, and so such an extended scale as this, about six of this should not be difficult of comprehension. these will cover most requirements. Draw The scale may be either white lines on black a larger arc of such a radius that it will fit film wrapping paper as in the photograph, nicely on to the aneroid face and produce or, for those who have no Chinese white paint, these six divisions outwards from the centre black lines on white. The former is the less on to it. Each is then sub -divided into ten obtrusive. The scale may be pasted on the parts and the larger units numbered from outside of the glass if the pointer is not too 970 to 1,030. This scale is inked in and cut far away. By the way, speaking of Chinese out and pasted on so that the division 999 is white, may I digress a moment. In a drawing opposite 29.5o as in the photograph.

  • Cononley: the Anatomy of a Mining Village” British Mining No.63, NMRS, Pp.34-47
    BRITISH MINING No.63 BRITISH MINING No.63 MEMOIRS 1999 Gill, M.C. 1999 “Cononley: The Anatomy of a Mining Village” British Mining No.63, NMRS, pp.34-47 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1999. ISSN 0309-2199 CONONLEY: THE ANATOMY OF A MINING VILLAGE by Michael Gill The village of Cononley is in the area known as South Craven, about three miles south of Skipton and twenty miles west of Leeds, in Yorkshire. It stands in the mouth of Nethergill, a small tributary valley on the south side of the river Aire, and is dominated by a hill called the Gib. Since the early 1850s, the Gib has been topped by a chimney from a lead smelting mill. The village is linked to the Keighley-Kendal Turnpike, now the A629, and the Leeds-Liverpool canal by the same short road. Except for the 1970s, Cononley has had a railway station since 1847. It is a picturesque, if somewhat shaded, village with its houses built of the local sandstone with flagstone roofs. It once had four pubs, but now has two, of which the New Inn is the oldest. The old part of the village, running between the Main Street and Back Lane, is based on tofts and crofts which have been infilled with tightly packed houses. This has led to a complex pattern of narrow, crooked streets with a highly irregular roof-line and gives the village a distinct character. Until recently, the people of Cononley, like those of its neighbouring villages, have worked at farming and textiles.
