An Analytical Approach to the Question of a Clock Change
An Analytical Approach to the Question of a Clock Change by Samuel Halpern One of the ongoing arguments that continues to be brought up is the question of whether or not clocks on Titanic were put back some time before the accident took place Sunday night, April 14, 1912. Some of the deck crew, awakened by the accident at 11:40 p.m. ship’s time, thought that it was close to the time that they were due to take their watch on deck, which would be at 12 o’clock. Despite Boatswain’s Mate Albert Haines, who was awake and on duty at the time, testifying that “The right time, without putting the clock back, was 20 minutes to 12,” there are some that try to argue that a 24 minute clock adjustment had already taken place, and the time of the accident on an unadjusted clock still keeping April 14th time would have been 4 minutes past 12. The underlying question that would resolve this issue is the run time from noon Sunday to the time of the accident. If the run time from noon to the time of the accident was 11 hours 40 minutes, then no clock change had yet taken place, and the time of collision was 11:40 p.m. in unadjusted hours. If the run time was more than 12 hours, then there was a clock change of some 23 or 24 minutes, and the time of collision was 11:40 p.m. in adjusted hours. It really is that simple. So how do we determine the actual run time from the available evidence that does not have to rely on subjective estimates such as time intervals or other measures that people may have perceived? The answer is to take an analytical approach to the problem using the taffrail log mileage data offered by quartermasters George Rowe and Robert Hichens at the inquiries. -

An Orientation for Getting a Navy 44 Underway
Departure and return procedure for the Navy 44 • Once again, the Boat Information Book for the United States Naval Academy Navy 44 Sailing Training Craft is the final authority. • Please do not change this presentation without my permission. • Please do not duplicate and distribute this presentation without the permission of the Naval Academy Sailing Training Officer • Comments welcomed!! “Welcome aboard crew. Tami, you have the helm. If you’d be so kind, take us out.” When we came aboard, we all pitched in to ready the boat to sail. We all knew what to do and we went to work. • The VHF was tuned to 82A and the speakers were set to “both”. • The engine log book & hernia box were retrieved from the Cutter Shed. • The halyards were brought back to the bail at the base of the mast, but we left the dockside spinnaker halyard firmly tensioned on deck so boarding crew could use it to aid boarding. • The sail and wheel covers were removed and stored below. • The reef lines were attached and laid out on deck. • The five winch handles were placed in their proper holders. • The engine was checked: fuel level, fuel lines open, bilge level/condition, alternator belt tension, antifreeze level, oil and transmission level, RACOR filter, raw water intake set in the flow position, engine hours. This was all entered into the log book. • Sails were inventoried. We use the PESO system. We store sails in the forward compartment with port even, starboard odd. •The AC main was de-energized at the circuit panel. -
Sea Kayak Handling Sample Chapter
10 STERN RUDDERS Stern rudders are used to keep the kayak going in a straight line and make small directional changes when on the move. The stern rudder only works if the kayak is travelling at a reasonable speed, but it has many applications. The most common is when there is a following wind or sea pushing the kayak along at speed. In this situation, forward sweep strokes are not quick enough to have as much effect as the stern rudder. A similar application is when controlling the kayak while surfi ng. A more ‘gentle’ application is when moving in and out of rocks, caves and arches at slower speeds. Here, the stern rudder provides control and keeps the kayak on course in these tight spaces. Low angle stern rudder This is the classic stern rudder and works well to keep the kayak running in a straight line. It is best combined with the push/pull method of turning with a stern rudder (see below). • The kayak must be moving at a reasonable speed. • Fully rotate the body so that both hands are out over the side. • Keep looking forwards. • Place the blade nearest the stern of the kayak in the water as far back as your rotation allows. • The blade face should be parallel to the side of the kayak so that it cuts through the water and you feel no resistance. 54 • The blade should be fully submerged and will act like a rudder, controlling the direction of the kayak. • The front hand should be across the kayak and at a height between your stomach and chest. -
Gannet Electronics
Gannet Electronics A Summary of the Electronic Equipment Fitted to early Model R.A.N Gannet A.S.1 Aircraft Prepared by David Mowat Ex-L.R.E.M.(A) 21st. August 2003 Page 1 Page 2 GANNET ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT Introduction The ‘Heart’ of the Gannet as a Weapons System was its Electronic Equipment. It contained a comprehensive range of electronic equipment to enable it to perform the various roles for which it was designed. Its Primary Role was to detect, locate, and destroy enemy submarines. For this Role, the Aircraft was fitted with a Search Radar and Sonobuoy Systems. Other electronic systems were also installed for Communications, both internal and external, and Navigation. The various equipments were allocated an ‘Aircraft Radio Installation’ (ARI) number, which specified the actual equipment used in each installation. These may vary between aircraft depending on the role that the particular aircraft was to perform. A cross- reference List of ARI’s is shown at Appendix ‘A’. The various equipments can be grouped into four major categories as follows: a.! Communications b.! Navigation c.! Warfare Systems d.! Stores Communications Equipment The Communications Equipment was used to enable the crew to talk to each other (internal communications) and other aircraft, ships or bases (external communications). They are as follows: a.! Audio Amplifier Type A1961 The Type A1921 was used to amplify the Microphone outputs from the three crew members and feed it back into the earphones. It was located on the port side of the rear cockpit at about seat height just forward of the Radio Operator. -

SUMMARY The aircraft was operating East African Airways Service flight number EC037 from Dar es Salaam to Nachingmea with an unscheduled refuelling stop at I1twara with 3 crew and 16 passengers on board. The flight from Dar es Salaam was uneventful and an approach and landing was made onto runway 19. After touch down the aircraft swung to the left and then to the right, after which it left the runway where both main landing gear assys collapsed causing substantial daLage to the centre section and nacelle structure. The report concludes that the most probable cause of the accident was the failure of the pilot to initiate corrective action to prevent the aircraft from turning off the runway. 1.1 HISTORY OF THE FLIGHT: The aircraft departed Dar es Salaam with three crew and 16 passengers. -

Gunwale (Canoe Rails) Repair Guide Wood Gunwale Repair
Gunwale (Canoe Rails) Repair Guide Wood Gunwale Repair Canoes with fine woodwork are a tradition at Mad River Canoe. The rails, seats and thwarts on your Mad River Canoe are native Vermont straight-grained ash, chosen for its resiliency, strength and aesthetic appearance. Unlike aluminum or plastic materials, white ash will not kink upon impact and cause undue damage to the canoe hull. There are more options involved in repair of wood gunwales than with vinyl or aluminum, making this section a bit longer than the corresponding instructions for other types of rails. Don't let the length of this document intimidate you - here's an overview of this section to help you plan your repair strategy: General Information - Everyone should read this section. Pre-installation preparation - Everyone should read this section. Gunwale replacement instructions - How to replace both rails of your canoe. Replacing Gunwales with inset decks (including complete deck replacement) - If your canoe has inset decks you will likely have to replace them when you replace your rails. The other option is: Short-splicing method to preserve original inset decks when rerailing - You may cut the existing inwales of your canoe to avoid replacing your existing deck. The new inwale must be carefully spliced to the section of existing inwale. Installation of a 4' splicing section - If you have damage to a small section of gunwale, you can splice in a replacement section on the inside, outside or both. General Information Ordering replacement ash gunwales Rails can be ordered from an authorized Mad River dealer. Replacement ash rails are available for all Mad River Canoes. -

However, the Bureau fully recognises that the implementation of recommendations arising from its investigations will in some cases incur a cost to the industry. Consequently, the Bureau always attempts to ensure that common sense applies whenever recommendations are formulated. BASI does not have the resources to carry out a full cost- benefit analysis of every recommendation. The cost of any recommendation must always be balanced against its benefits to safety, and aviation safety involves the whole community. Such analysis is a matter for the CAA and the industry.
