The Victaulic Company, leaders in flexible joints for forty years, manufacture light Victaulic joints in alu- minium. These are die-cast from special alloys and have been perfected after exhaustive development and tests. Ease of Assembly. The joint can be made rapidly on rough ground by unskilled labour. It couples pipes positively and cannot be assembled incorrectly. Flexibility. Clearances between the joint housing and piping, combined with the gap between pipe-ends, permit an angular movement of the piping and make exact alignment unnecessary when installing. Expansion and Contraction. The gap between pipe-ends allows the piping to expand or contract. This and the flexibility of the assembly reduce pipe-line stresses due to subsidence or settlement, and allow the pipe-line to follow the contour of the ground with a minimum of bends.

The British debate about Maritime Air Power in the 1960s Gjert Lage Dyndal Doctor of Philosophy dissertation 2009 University of Glasgow Department for History Supervisors: Professor Evan Mawdsley and Dr. Simon Ball 2 Abstract Numerous studies, books, and articles have been written on Britains retreat from its former empire in the 1960s. Journalists wrote about it at the time, many people who were involved wrote about it in the immediate years that followed, and historians have tried to put it all together. The issues of foreign policy at the strategic level and the military operations that took place in this period have been especially well covered. However, the question of military strategic alternatives in this important era of British foreign policy has been less studied.
