We were both dismayed and delighted to learn that our very successful Ukulele Group had decided to leave U3A. Dismayed because we didn’t want to lose such a successful and popular group, but delighted and proud that they have left the umbrella of U3A because they are sought after to play at local occasions, and can now collect money for charities. I am also pleased to announce that Marie King has volunteered to keep a Ukulele Group going in Bude U3A and is offering to teach anyone interested. We are also sorry that the Hands On Group are ceasing to meet for the time being. Celia Sousek has decided to give up leading the very popular Rocks and Ruins Group , and we owe her a huge debt of gratitude for the amount of work she has put in to make the group so successful. I am pleased to say that Rosie Bowden has taken the job on with support from Ray and Lydia Kelly. Our thanks to all three. Our thanks also to Heather Stephenson for arranging the AGM displays and to all who took part. The displays bring life to the information given about groups. I have had a number of suggestions for possible new groups, including Folk Dancing, Easy Walking , and a Volunteers Group . Please let me know if any of these are of interest, or if you have difficulty accessing a group. Elizabeth Whattler ALL ABOUT BIRDS meets on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Dave Gilbert - [email protected] / 07971 258657 or Rosie Bowden – [email protected] / 01409 241506 We have had a lively and varied few months. We had some local summer trips - to Upton walking from the canal at Bude, and walking the cliffs from Sandymouth . In August , we had a talk and slideshow from Adrian Langdon from CBWPS (Cornwall Bird Watching and Preservation Society). Adrian is warden of Walmsley Sanctuary , a 66 acre nature reserve at Wadebridge, a very accomplished photographer, and has a life-long interest in the Camel Estuary. We also held a members’ meeting at Bude Golf Club in August. Jan told of her sabbatical in Bermuda in 2005, working with Dr. David Wingate who had single-handedly brought the cahow, a burrowing bird, back from the brink of extinction on Nonsuch Island. Val and Doug spoke about the many astonishing and beautiful birds they had seen in North America, Dave showed images of birds taken on a trip to Australia, and Les talked about the wonderful sight of the red kite feeding station at Gigrin Farm in Mid-Wales. In September , we had a fantastic speaker from the Barn Owl Trust , a UK charity which aims to conserve the barn owl and its environment. David Ramsden, Head of Conservation and awarded an MBE for Services to Wildlife in 2007, gave an introduction to the barn owl, told us of the effects of changing farming practices, conservation measures and the work of the Trust. He illustrated the close links between barn owls and people, and showed the environmental consequences of everyday human activities. We planned several trips for October , including to Northam Burrows for the overwintering wading birds and to Walmsley Marsh Sanctuary , Several events are planned in January, including another River Exe bird watching boat trip. Dave Gilbert and Rosie Bowden 6 BOOK GROUP meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 2.30 pm in the Holsworthy area Valerie Kerr - 01840 230194 Keith reviewed our first book of the quarter, The Round House by Louise Erdrich, set on the reservation of a Native American tribe in North Dakota. The story centres around a boy, Joe, who seeks justice in the wake of the horrific rape of his mother. Due to legal complexities over jurisdiction of the land, Joe sets about finding, and eventually bringing to justice, the perpetrator of the crime. The group enjoyed the book. However, some felt there were too many subplots and details, and some of the Native American culture was difficult to understand. The book was well written and the group all felt they learned something from reading it. The next book also dealt with a harrowing subject.

TAYLOR UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1939 For lale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 50 cents ADVERTISEMENT Tlie scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collec- tions of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organi- zations and to specialists and others interested in the different sub- jects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. Tlie series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens and special collections, and other material of simi- lar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear vol- umes under the heading Contrihutions from the United States Na- tional Eerharium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (1–300 psi/0.069–20.684 bar; 6.895–2,068.427 kPa), but at pressures above this it is more usual to speak of a steam generator. An industrial boiler, originally used for supplying steam to a stationary steam engine A boiler or steam generator is used wherever a source of steam is required. The form and size depends on the application: mobile steam engines such as steam locomotives, portable engines and steam-powered road vehicles typically use a smaller boiler that forms an integral part of the vehicle; stationary steam engines, industrial installations and power stations will usually have a larger separate steam generating facility connected to the point-of-use by piping.

  • Heating & Ventilation
    HISTORIC BUILDING ENGINEERING SYSTEMS & EQUIPMENT HEATING & VENTILATION 1 Cover of catalogue of Hartley & Sugden, boilermakers of Halifax, 1873 1 2 This publication has been produced by English Heritage in association with the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers 2 Forward It is a sad fact that many involved in building services engineering pay little attention to the history of the industry in which they are involved. While we obviously need to ensure that our buildings are serviced in such a way to meet the needs of the 21st Century, all too often we sweep away our engineering past to replace this with modern technology and hi-tech solutions without consideration of what is being lost. In many instances this is due to that the fact that we do not recognise the significance of what is left. This publication, the first of a number providing an outline of some aspects of the history of building services engineering hopes in some small way to address this problem. We can learn much from the past to guide us in the future. I would like to thank the CIBSE Heritage Group and especially Brian Roberts; without the dedication and enthusiasm of this group not only would we lose knowledge of our building services engineering past, but it would not have been possible to produce this publication.

  • Building the Westminster Clock
    Big Ben and the history of the clock tower at the Palace of Westminster. (updated) By Heather Hobden, The Cosmic Elk. Part One The first clock tower at the Palace of Westminster was built between 1365 and 1367. It stood by the north wall at the end of the King's Gallery, immediately opposite the entrance to the Great Hall. The bell of the Westminster clock weighed just over 4 tons and was one of three ordered by King Edward III from (apply named) John Belleyetere. The charge in the Pipe Roll 41 of 1366-7 was £246-l6s.-8d. The clock was replaced by a new one by Agnes Dalavan in 1427. (An early example of a lady clockmaker, and not the only one). A large part of Westminster palace burned down in 1512. Just after King Henry VIII and Queen Katherine had moved in. They moved to Wolsey's residence of York House which was nearby. Wolsey did not own it, he was occupying it as he was Archbishop of York. That did not stop Henry VIII from taking it over permanently, and rebuilding it. He did this regardless of the neighbours. A people were living nearby were upset and angry at the road, their houses and their shops being destroyed to make York House more palatial. The palace was later called Whitehall. Westminster Palace had been rebuilt but was no longer used by the King as his residence. It was now used only for Parliament meetings and government offices. As part of the rebuilding, in 1530, the clock was renovated, and its four clock faces were painted and re- guilded.
