Franks 127 Norman Moles Journal of the Russell Society (2018) 1 EDItorIAL TOPOGRAPHIC MINERALOGY Is mineralogical publication ‘in the pink’? Volume 1 part 1 of the journal dropped onto doormats in March 1982. The late Bob King, our first journal editor, noted that: “... the need for such a journal has long been felt where accomplished amateur mineralogists might present scientifically important observations, both on systematical and topographical mineralogy ... which might be unacceptable to the current professionally orientated scientific journals”. The key phrase here is ‘topographic mineralogy’. Since its inception, the journal has recorded mineralisation at localities in the British Isles. In so doing, many rare and unusual species have been reported, their relationship to the local geology recorded, theories on how they may have formed offered and collections described. And after thirty-six years of publication there is still no shortage of important localities to describe! Information in mineralogy, as in many other scientific subjects, is organised in hierarchies. Individual specimens and their labels are the foundation on which everything else is built. The value of gluing a small label with locality details to every important specimen is emphasised in a recent newsletter article by Tom Cotterell. Specimens are organised into collections, and if these are assembled thoughtfully, the whole (which may have an accompanying field notebook, photographic archive, catalogue or database) is much more than the sum of the parts. The information contained in collections provides data for articles. Late-stage hydrothermal mineralisation associated with the Whin Sill of northern England is described in a geological context in an account which includes images of specimens, mostly in the Brian Young Collection, photographed by Andy Hopkirk in the first article of this journal. Tom Cotterell and Roy Starkey have contributed an account, of millerite from Gorsley Common. Rediscovered after more than a century, in an area not known for its minerals, the value of careful detective work is shown. Skarn mineralisation containing euhedral andradite, reported seventy years ago by G. P. L. Walker near Portmuck in County Antrim, is described by Norman Moles. The article includes several excellent photos of specimens from Norman’s collection by a new Society member John Chapman. John Mason and colleagues emphasise the geological context of mineralisation in Wales, in two articles, one of which includes a note on the ‘magnificent uralite porphyry’, an intriguing rock, which like the Gorsley Common millerite, has been rediscovered after many years of obscurity. The importance of collections and careful specimen curation is shown by Richard Bateman and colleagues in a discussion of the minerals of the South Yorkshire Coalfield. An attempt is made to provide a holistic description of the mineralogy of a relatively large area, in a study which is based on a small collection, a few published articles, and the data in two privately printed manuscripts assembled by the late Steve Uttley. In mineralogy, the top of the information pyramid is occupied by topographic books, grand syntheses of published data which describe large regions. When volume 1 part 1 of the journal came through members’ letterboxes in 1982, British topographic mineralogy was anchored in the nineteenth century. The standard topographic work was the Manual of the Mineralogy of Great Britain and Ireland (Greg and Lettsom, 1858). This has since been replaced by Minerals of Britain and Ireland (Tindle, 2008) and augmented by a number of well illustrated volumes which deal with the mineralogy of smaller regions. This year sees the publication Minerals of the English Midlands. Roy Starkey’s work will need little introduction to most members of the Society, but for those who are unfamiliar with it, a short review is provided on pages 124–126. Thirty-seven articles in the Journal of the Russell Society are referenced, and there are numerous photos of specimens found on field trips. Three such specimens, all found since the first part of the journal was produced in 1982, are shown on the facing page. A reminder that interesting specimens remain to be collected and documented across the British Isles. REFERENCES Greg, R.P. and Lettsom, W.G. (1858).

  • Newsletter 90 Spring 2014
    NEWSLETTER 90 SPRING 2014 EDITORIAL We have reached the 90th Newsletter and another new year. I hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year and didn’t get blown away or flooded! By the time you read this we will be over halfway through our Lecture Programme and we have already had some varied topics – all of interest. Ideas are welcome for the 2014/15 season so if you have any suggestions please contact Jane Ellis (details at the end of the Newsletter). Please note that we have added a new event to this year’s programme – a visit to Sunny Bank Mills in Farsley, organised by section member Graham Collett, on 17 May. Details of the visit are given on the accompanying information sheet / booking form. Do contact Graham as soon as you can to book your place. I am also trying to arrange a visit to the Monckton Coke Works near Barnsley as a follow-up to the talk given at the September day school at the National Mining Museum. If this visit goes ahead it is likely to be in the summer so details will be included in the next Newsletter. The 150th anniversary year of the main Society has come to an end and I hope you managed to join one of the events. Attendance at the events varied, with some proving very popular but others having to be cancelled due to low interest, or in the case of the visit to Barnsley Experience, no interest. The YAHS Collections book which was produced highlighting the range of material in the library and archives was very well received and copies are still available at Claremont at the reasonable price of £5.

  • Policing-Policy-During-Strike-Report
    ' The Police Committee Special Sub-Committee at their meeting on 24 January 19.85 approved this report and recommended that it should be presented to the Police Committee for their approval. In doing so, they wish to place on record their appreciation and gratitude to all the members of the County Council's Department of Administration who have assisted and advised the Sub-Committee in their inquiry or who have been involved in the preparation of this report, in particular Anne Conaty (Assistant Solicitor), Len Cooksey (Committee Administrator), Elizabeth Griffiths (Secretary to the Deputy County Clerk) and David Hainsworth (Deputy County Clerk). (Councillor Dawson reserved his position on the report and the Sub-Committee agreed to consider a minority report from him). ----------------------- ~~- -1- • Frontispiece "There were many lessons to be learned from the steel strike and from the Police point of view the most valuable lesson was that to be derived from maintaining traditional Police methods of being firm but fair and resorting to minimum force by way of bodily contact and avoiding the use of weapons. My feelings on Police strategy in industrial disputes and also those of one of my predecessors, Sir Philip Knights, are encapsulated in our replies to questions asked of us when we appeared before the House of Commons Select Committee on Employment on Wednesday 27 February 1980. I said 'I would hope that despite all the problems that we have you will still allow us to have our discretion and you will not move towards the Army, CRS-type policing, or anything like that.

    file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.
