At Hindlip Hall in its vicinity, Gunpowder Plot conspirators defied search for eight days, and, later, Westwood Hall was the hide-out of many a Royalist during the Commonwealth. To-day Droitwich has reversed its role — it has become informative ; for there stands the great Regional Transmitter of the B.B.C. Altogether three Alton batteries have been installed at this station — two for trans­ mitter purposes, the third as a stand-by against generator failure. A notable tribute to Alton reliability.

  • 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.

  • Sir William Siemens (1823–1883)
    Sir William Siemens (1823–1883) Wilhelm Siemens (1823–1883), who changed his first name to William after moving to England, was born on April 4, 1823, in Lenthe near Hanover, Germany. He accompanied his older brother Werner von Siemens, who was then serving in the Prussian army, to Magdeburg, where he attended trade school. After dropping out of a practical engineering program in Magdeburg and abandoning the study of natural sciences at the University of Göttingen, William spent the spring and summer of 1843 in England. Here he succeeded in patenting the silver and gold-plating technique developed by Werner and selling the rights to the English company of Elkington for £1,600 or roughly 30,000 marks. This success not only helped the brothers out of major financial difficulties; it also encouraged William to consider moving to England. Werner supported the idea, and William traveled to England again in January 1844. However, the quick success of the previous year could not be immediately repeated. Only gradually did the situation improve. From 1849, William held a permanent position as an engineer in Birmingham. At the same time, he also worked on his own inventions, among them a water meter that later proved very successful. In 1850, William took over the management of the newly established agency of Siemens & Halske in London, although its beginnings were somewhat inauspicious. The manufacture and laying of submarine telegraph cables opened up new business opportunities. William’s good contacts with engineering circles and government authorities facilitated the otherwise difficult entry into the highly developed English telegraph market, where private operating companies were in competition with one another.

    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.

BRIGHT, Jr. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY • NEW YORK 1949 FOREWORD THIS study of the economic development of the electric- lamp industry is the second volume in a series of studies on the economics of innovation, undertaken at the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology. The creative role played by science and technology in modern economic life is apparent to everyone. But we know relatively little about the human factors which condition the introduction of technological change into our environment. Are there barriers to innovation inherent in the increasing concentration of power in a few large concerns? Does the patent system, designed as an incentive to invention, act more often as a brake on new develop- ments? What has been the role of key personalities in creating change? Are there lessons to be drawn from the past on how the innovating process can be more effective, not only from the standpoint of achieving a higher standard of material being but from the point of view of smoother human relations? Certainly, material progress at any price is not a satisfactory goal. On the other hand, freedom for creative action in initiating and carrying out new developments is a basic human drive for many individu- als. I believe, personally, that a great society should strive toward a goal which will give to individuals and groups the maximum opportunities for creative expression; yet this means to me that the State must act to prevent the compulsive pressure of some particular group from overriding others to the destruction of human values.

  • PREFACE to 1895 EDITION, OUTLINE of CONTENTS and INDEX to COMPANIES LISTED in 1895 (PDF File
    PREFACE TO 1895 EDITION, OUTLINE OF CONTENTS & INDEX TO COMPANIES LISTED IN 1895 By 1895 the Stock Exchange Official Yearbook had settled into a format that it was to stay with for the duration. We reproduce the Preface, Outline of Contents and the Index to companies listed in 1895 to give readers an idea of the typical organisation of a yearbook, and of the great variety of companies covered in this and in future volumes. PREFACE. The year 1894 has not proved so favourable to business as was expected. This is chiefly due to the further considerable decline in the prices of natural products, and to some extent to the difficulty in bringing to a conclusion the tariff and other reforms in the United States to which President Cleveland had put his hand. But the year closes with a nearly complete absence of disturbing causes, though the prices of produce are still at their lowest, and the return to commercial and agricultural prosperity is in all parts of the world proceeding at an abnormally slow rate. But it is generally admitted that the worst is now more than over. This is an immense gain in itself, especially as regards Stock Exchange securities, amongst which selling from fear or necessity no sooner ceases than an upward movement on some scale sets in. A year ago we had to report a further considerable fall in the aggregate of Stock Exchange values; but for 1894 there has been a rise in prices which more than outsets the decline then reported, and to all appearance the upward movement is still in progress.
