Product description
Waugh's own unhappy experience of being a soldier is superbly re-enacted in this story of Guy Crouchback, a Catholic and a gentleman, commissioned into the Royal Corps of Halberdiers during the war years 1939-45. High comedy - in the company of Brigadier Ritchie-Hook or the denizens of Bellamy's Club - is only part of the shambles of Crouchback's war. When action comes in Crete and in Yugoslavia, he discovers not heroism, but humanity. "Sword of Honour" combines three volumes: "Officers and Gentlemen", "Men at Arms" and "Unconditional Surrender", which were originally published separately. Extensively revised by Waugh, they were published as the one-volume "Sword of Honour" in 1965, in the form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read.

Author information
Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) was born in London and educated at Oxford. He quickly established a reputation with such social satirical novels as DECLINE AND FALL, VILE BODIES and SCOOP. Waugh became a Catholic in 1930, and his later books display a more serious attitude, as seen in the religious theme of BRIDESHEAD REVISITED, a nostalgic evocation of student days at Oxford. His diaries were published in 1976, and his letters in 1980.
Editorial reviews
Both a "recension" (Waugh before his death excised some of the original material) as well as a one-volume publication of the World War II trilogy - Men at Arms (1952) Officers and Gentleman (1955) and Unconditional Surrender (1961) which Waugh thought of as "obituary of the Roman Catholic Church in England." Some critics, Malcolm Muggeridge for instance, considered this ironic, absurd, affecting (and autobiographical) portrait of a middle aged man at war his finest achievement. (Kirkus Reviews)

Here is a lovely set of images taken from the wedding of Sam & Krzysztof at Buxted Park Hotel recently. I wasn't going to let the rain stop me getting some great photographs, and thanks to the shelter provided behind the pillars, we had plenty of natural light to play with. When the rain eased, we slipped over to the pond for a shot or two there. I even set up some off camera flash behind them for that extra kick of light. Later in the evening we popped out again, briefly as it was freezing! These are just a few of the couple portraits from the wedding day, to see more just hop over to the website.

Answer #1Mercedes Connexion from Mercedes Connexion, May 03, 2011, 11:17Enthusiast
Your coolant leak will usually fall to the center of the vehicle due to the gravel shield under the engine. I'd pressure test the cooling system and then go around the engine compartment with a flashlight and mirror until you find the source of the leak.
Without knowing the miles it's a little harder to make an educated guess as to what the leak may be. Freeze plugs rarely leak. Common leaks are plastic connector pipe at firewall and water pump.

Patented Sept. 12, 1939 l f UNITED. STATES PATENT ori-ics minors INDICATTNG AND comon v SYSTEM Application November 27, 1934, Serial No. '155,047t 1s claims. (Cl. 177451) This invention relates to a system for electrically indicating, recording, or controlling at a remote point variations of a quantityor magnitilde, such as fluid pressures, liquid levels, energy,
5 rate of ow and-the like. More particularly, the
invention relates to the measurement or recording of iiuid pressures or ows at a point remote from the pressure point to be measured.
Telemetering systems have heretofore been proposed in which there is an oscillatory electrical circuit at the transmitter with means such as a reactance actuated by the value to be measured for varying the frequency of the oscillations of the circuit, and the changes in the frequency of the oscillatory potential are transmitted and impressed cn a suitable indicating instrument at the receiver. To my knowledge such systems as heretofore constructed have the disadvantage that the source of electrical energy for the transmitter Also, as the transmission line has a certain .capacity any changes therein due to various uncontrolled causes will affect the frequency of the transmitter. Where the pressure or rate of. ow of in- 25-ammable uids are to be measured such systems cannot be employed because of the fire hazard attendant on the use of high voltage currents of commercial power transmission lines. Also, it frequently happens that poweris not available at the transmitter for its operation because of the isolated location of the transmitter.
Further, to my knowledge, prior systems of this type have had a limited measuring range due to the fact that the variable reactance at the y, 35 transmitter must be made too large and cumbersome to be operativefor indicating practical ranges. with the consequence that when a wide range of indication or extreme accuracy in reading is desired this reactance element must be 40 made so large and heavy that the system loses its sensitivity and becomes unreliable as an inj dication of small changes in the value to be measured. If the size of the reactance element is not increased it is not possible to obtain a suffi- 45 ciently wide range of operation'topermit accurate reading of the scale on the indicating instrument rent from interfering with the receiver, and isob5 late the signalling current from the power sup- Dly. By this arrangement I am enabled to have the power supply for the transmitter located at the receiver, the power being conducted thereto over the same conductors which carry the oscillating signal potential from the transmitter to 6 the receiver. Or, in a modification, a power supply is located at an intermediate point between the transmitter and receiver and furnishes power to the transmitter, the oscillating signal potential being returned over the same conductors as 10 far as the power, supply and thence to the receiver. Instead of recalibrating the receiver to permit its use in this modification I shunt a resistance across the power supply terminals of the receiver equal to the transmission line resistance and resistance of the transmitter. In a third modification the power supply for the transmitter is located adjacent thereto, the signalling potential beingisolated therefrom as before, and the power supply likewise being isolated from the receiver.
In employing a vacuum tube osciliatorat the transmitter I provide means for vdividing the supply potential, utilizing a portion thereof in the plate-filament circuit, said means being in the path of the grid-filament oscillating current for producing an alternating potential diiference, and\I tap the signalling potential across said means. The direct current potential of the grid is adjustable for various circuit characteristics,
vand I provide a low reactance path in the oscillating grid-lament circuit which prevents iiow of direct current therethrough but permits flow of the oscillating grid-filament current. I also provide means for compensating for the eifect of the transmission line on the transmitter.
Further, I provide a transmitter comprising an oscillatory circuit anda reactance such as a condenser or an inductance actuated by the value to be measured for varying the frequency of the 40 circuit, and I insert in said oscillatory circuit a means multiplying the reactance effect of the frequency'varying means whereby, without increasingthe size or weight of the frequency varying means or diminishing -the accuracy thereof, the measuring range of the transmitter is increased. This transmitter can be employed in connection with the vacuumv tube osciilatorjust described. The modification in which the power supply is 4located at the receiver and is common to the 50 receiver and,transmitter,when'used in connection with my improved oscillatory circuit above described, can beemployed up to ranges of about ten miles over commercial telephone lines. For further rangesI prefer to locate the vpower sup-I ply for the transmitter any convenient distance therefrom up to about ten miles, and the receiver may be located one hundred miles or more-from the transmitter. These ranges are increased. as for example, by using special wiring in place of commercial telephone lines or by using suitable amplifying devices at suitable points between the transmitter and receiver. The amplifier is coupled to the receiver in such manner that the amplifierK requires a minimum signal potential to provide ythe required power for operating the receiver.
In the specific embodiment in which a condenser is used to vary the frequency of the oscillatory circuit including a thermionic valve at the transmitter, I inductively couple the secondary oscillatory circuit to the primary oscillatory the secondary oscillatory circuit and thus increase the measuring range of the transmitter without increasing the size of the condenser which is actuated by the value to be measured while retaining its accuracy and sensitivity. A commonv path is provided for the plate-filament and grid-filament oscillating currents, andthe signalling potential is taken at the terminals of this path.
Accordingly, it is one object of the present trol system employing an oscillatory circuit at the transmitter which receives its source of electrical energy from a point remote therefrom.
, Another object is to provide a telemetering system in which the power is conducted to the transmitter over the'same wires that conduct the signalling potential to the receiver, the power current and signalling currents being isolated.
Another object is to provide means for compensating for the etl'ect of the transmission line on the transmitter.-
` A further object is the provision'of a transmitter of' the oscillatory type in which the meas-- uring range is increased without loss of sensitivity of the instrument and without destroying its accuracy.
Another object is the provision of an amplifier at the receiver, the output thereof being coupled to the receiver so that the amplier will develop the required power for operating the receiver with a minimum signal potential.
I Another object is the provision of an oscillator of the vacuum tubetype employing a novel arrangement for supply current .and for tapping the oscillating signalling current.
Another object is the provision of a receiver including a frequency meter andhaving means for checking the accuracy thereof at a predetermined frequency.
These .and various other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following description and Aappended claims taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a wiring diagram of a receiver having the power supply contiguous thereto:
' s Figure 2 is a wiring diagram of a preferred embodiment of the transmitter;
Figure 3 is awiring diagram in which the power supply for the transmitter is located ,at some in- 7'0 termediate .point between the transmitter and receiver;

. Figure 5 shows a modified transmitter for pro- 75 -ducing a variable frequency potential;

Figure 7 is a wiring diagram of a modified transmitter, the signalling potential being tapped in the grid-filament circuit; 5
Figure 8 is a wiring diagram of a modified transmitter, the signalling potential being tapped in the plate-filament circuit;
Figure 9 is a wiring diagram of a modification showing a three wire system, the power supply 10 and signal potential being segregated at the transmitter.
Referring to the drawings, the modification shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a transmitter -A, a receiver B, and a power supply C, the latter being located at the receiving end of the system. This modification is particularly useful when the transmitter is located at some remote section in which a source of high potential electrical power is not available, or in oil elds where high potential lines are not permitted, and the arrangement is such that 'direct current is transmitted to the transmitter over the same telephone lines which return the alternating current signal of the transmitter to the receiver. 25
The power supply 'Ihe power supply receives a regulated alternating current from any suitable source through `.a voltage regulator 2 which is converted into 30 the modiilcation shown a secondary winding 4 of this transformer is connected to the cathode or lament of `the vacuum tube rectifier 1 for 35 heating the same, and the secondary winding 5 is connected at its terminals to the anodes or plates thereof. The secondary windings 4 and i are tapped at their respective centers 6 and 8 and these taps constitute the positive and nega- 40 tive output terminals respectively of the rectifier. The positive terminal 6 is Aconnected to one terminal of capacitor 3 and the negative terminal '8 is connected to one end of inductor or reactance 9, the opposite terminal of reactance 9 being 45 connected to the other terminal of capacitor 3. The capacitor or condenser l and the reactance 9 provide a smoothing action to the current supplied by the rectifier to the point Vwhere it is desired to apply the direct current. Further smoothing of the direct current is provided by the capacitor I0 and a reactance II which repeats this process to insure maximum smoothing action, or, in this case, provide a pure non-pulsating direct current available lfor application from ,the points I2 and I4 to the transmitter A, to the receiver B, `and to the amplifier when used.A A safety fuse I1 is inserted on the output vside of the rectier tube.
'I'he receiver terminals I3 and Il are connect- ,o ed to the transmitter terminals Il' and I5' respectively by the two wires of a telephone line, the terminals I8 and 'ISi being grounded by a wire I8' to the metal case of the receiver as indicated at I8. The direct current isftrans- 55 mitted over the telephonelines to the positive terminal I3 and negative terminal I5' at the transmitter A.- (Figure 2.) The potential of the positive .transmitter terminal Il' of the telephone liney is adjusted to the proper value by means of a variable resistance 20 in series with a iixed resistance Il, an inductance Il and an ammeter 2|, the meter' 2| being used to provide a visible indication'of the current so that resistance 20 can be manually adjusted to pro- 75 direct current supplied tothe transmitter so as. to eliminate its iniiuence on the receiver inputv circuit. Condenser 22' completed the alternatingcurrent circuit at the receiving end-,of the transmission line by lay-passing resistors I8 and 20 and ammeter 2 I.
The transmitter The vdirect current potential difference impressed across .terminals I3' and I5 at the transmitter is impressed across'the points 23 andv25,
a path of suitable resistance 26 of proper value being provided for heating the cathodey or lament 21 of the thermionic valve 28 which is of the audion type. The plate 29 of audion 28 receives direct current potential from p oint 23 connected to the mid point of an inductance 3I,`
I the oscillating grid-lament circuit blocks out direct current ioW therein and provides a path of low impedance for the oscillating grid-filament potential. The plate-cathode alternating lcurrent flows through resistor 26, tap 30, tap 32 and plate 29, `and the grid-cathode alternating current ows through resistor 26, tap 30, tap 33, condenser 34, tap 31 and grid 36, the platecathode alternating current and grid-cathode alternating current both Aflowing through resistor 26. In the modication shown in Figure 2, the inductances 3l and 4I are in parallel, and a variable condenser 43 is connected across the terminals of inductance 42 coupled to inductance 4 I. Adjustable condenser 44 is connected in parallel with variable condenser ,43 and the Acombined capacitance eect of the condensers 44 and 43 can Ybe accurately and delicately adjusted for calibration by'properly setting the condenser 44.
It will be seen that when the oscillation set -up charges capacitor 34 to maximum oscillating potential, the alternating grid-filamentcurrent of the audion 28 is at va maximum and the alternating plate-filament current also is at a maximum. As the 'charge on condenser '34 varies the alternating grid-filament and plate filament .currents .likewise vary, and the alternating potential acrossthe common current path 26 likewise changes', and the alternating current potential across the points 23, 25 isthe signalling potential impressed on the telephone transmission line. The plates of condenser 43 are adapted to be mechanically operated in any suitable manner by the pressure, liquid level, or other qualityto be measured to thereby vary its capacity. This variation in capacity 4varies the frequency of the oscillations across terminals 23, 25.
The secondary transmitter circuit comprises condensers 43 and 44 and inductance 42, this circuit being shown inductively coupled to the `grid-filament andplate-filament circuits, but it will be understood that the secondary transmitof the coll ratios of inductances 42 Ato 4I.- As shown in Figure 2, the inductance 4I has a smaller number of turns than inductance 42, and therefore steps up the alternating potential across points 32, 33, to a higher value across .capacitor 43. This permits the use of a small lightv weight condenser 43 which is v ery sensitive and accurate; 'I'he ground,45 of the transmitter is connected through the wire 46 to the point 25 and serves as a common ground for the receiver andtransmitter.
The receiver The oscillatingpotential across terminals I3 and I5' of the transmitter is transmitted across the telephone lines to the receiver terminals I3 and I5, and with the switch 50 connected at 5I, the signalling potential is impressed across capacitor 22 to the amplifier audion 55. This audion which may be part of the receiver, preferably is of the indirectly heated type, the cathode 56 being heated by a filament 51 connected in a suitable manner with a winding 'coupled to a Winding 84 from which the heating current is obtained. The power supply terminal I2 provides a positive potential to anode 58 through wire 62, connected at 6I with resistance 60, which in turn is connected to the terminal 59' of primary winding 59, the circuit being completed throughaudion 55, resistance 63 and wire I6 to the point I4. The cathode 56 thereiore is biased positive with respect to ground an amount equal to the potential difference across the terminals 65 and 66 of resistance 63 and is positive with respect to grid 54. Resistance 52 provides' a return path for the grid-filament direct current. The potential difference across the terminals 65 and 66 preferably is selectedso that the grid potential.. changes in grid 54 due to the oscillating signalpotential prod'uce a'lineal change in the plate current. VCondenser 61 acts as .a by-pass capacitor providing a return path of I 12 and 13 respectively of the audions 14 and 15. With the receiver operating at optimumveciency the grid-cathode circuits of audions 14 and 15 consume power which is supplied bythe plate circuit of amplifier tube 55. The 4transformer consisting of windings 59, 10 and 1I has .a mutual inductance such that the impedance of the gridcathode circuits of audions 14 and 1521s reflected in the amplifier plate circuitV is equal at the vfrequency range at which the'transmitter-operates to the internal plateimpedance of audion. 55.
Y low .reactance for the amplified alternating cur- Under these conditions theamplifler Atube re-` quires a minimum signal potential to provide the requiredV power for operating'the receiver. The audions 14 and 15 are preferably' of the indirectly heated cathode type and are heated by current supplied from winding 85. The anodes 16 and 11 of audions 14v and 15 are connected to opposite sides of capacitor 80. vThe cathodes 18 and 19 are biased at the correct positive potential vrelative to the grids of their respective audicns by means of suitable direct current sources of proper potential which may be batteries or rectiiiers of suitablecharacteristics. Such combined transformers and rectifiers shown at 68 and68 receiving their power from a suitable alternating current source.
The grid 12, which receives its potential from secondary winding 10, is excited 180 out of phase with grid 13 which receives its potential from secondary winding 1I. Cathode 18 of audion 14 is connected to plate 11 of audion 15 to maintain the potentials on cathode 18 and plate 11 equal. When the grid 13 is positive with respect to the cathode 18 the cathode-plate current flows in audion 15 to charge capacitor 80.' On the next half cycle when the grid 12 of audion 14 becomes positive and grid 13 becomes negative the condenser 80 discharges through the plate 16 and cathode 18 of audion 14. During the charging cycle of capacitor 80 the current flow through audion 15 passes through and is indicated on milliammeter 82. The average pulsating charging current to capacitor 80 as indicatedby milli ammeter 82 bears a definite relation to the fre.- quency of the signal current so that .changes in frequency of the signal current caused by variationsvof condenser 43 at the transmitter are indicated by the meter 82. This meter 82 may be calibrated in suitable units such as pounds pres sure, or' linear units to give a proper indication of the quantity to be measured. I have found that, with a given type of tube at 14 and 15 there is an optimum relation between the direct current plate and grid voltages, and by suitable adjustmentof the plate potential across terminals I2 and I4 and of the grid-cathode potentials at 68 and 68 the maximum current is obtained, at a given frequency, through 'the milliammeter 82 for a given input to the receiver.
. Provision is made for testing the receiver. The
transformer 69 supplies an alternating current of known frequency and predetermined potential to the terminals 86v and 81, and by connecting switch 50 with 4terminal 81 and observing the reading of the indicating instrument 82 it can be determined whether the receiver is correctly functioning.
In a telephone line as ordinarily connected and operated, the line is terminated in an impedance of a value equal to the characteristic impedance of the line. However, in the present invention the transmission line is terminated by inductance I9l and condenser 22' which complete the signal current circuit, and as there is no matched terminal impedance the vline has a capacitive reactance.' impedance the attenuation of the transmission line, i. e., the line loss, is smaller. However, in this arrangement the transmission line circuit composed of inductance I9, the transmission line and condenser 22 assumes a large phase angle. As is well known, a vacuumtube oscillator operates at that frequency for which the total phase angle of the circuits is zero. Since' the phase' angle of the circuit composed of resistance 26 and filament 21, which circuit is in parallel with the transmissionline circuit, ordinarily is not zero, the primary oscillatory circuit composed of inductance 3| and the resultant capacitance of coupled inductance 4I must oscillate with an equal and opposite phase angle..
A change in the phase angle of the circuit including resistance 26 and filament 21 therefore causes a corresponding change in frequency in .the primary oscillatory circuit suchthat the total denser 22'.
By not using a matched terminal limit of the scale.
phase angle is restored to zero. The impedance of the transmission line which is determined byits length and other factors therefore aects the frequency of the transmitter through its effect on the phase angle in the circuit composed of resistance 26 and filament 21.
When the transmitter is calibrated at the fac; tory a simulated telephone line may or may not be connected between the terminals I 5, I5 and I3, I3'. If no simulated line is used the only reactive impedance shunting resistance 26 and filament 21' is inductance I9 in series with con- This impedance is high so that under such conditions of calibration the phase angle in circuit 26, 21 is close to zero. Now, when the apparatus is installed in the eld and a telephone line is connected across terminals I5, I5 and I3, I3', or a simulated telephone line is used for calibration, the phase angle in circuit 26, 21 increases due to the low impedance of the transmission line circuit so that the frequency of the transmitter shifts from its calibrated point.
However, I found that if the inductance IS is set at a value such that it is anti-resonated by the line within the range of frequency employed, the impedance of the resistance 26 is raised and the phase angle thereby decreased to a minimum. The nearer this phase angle is to zero the smaller will be the effect on the frequency of the transmitter when a dierent transmission line is used. Therefore the inductance I9 is adjusted and set in the factory at its anti-resonated value with a simulated line connected.
Direct current flows from filament 21, througn point 25, resistance 35 and point 31 to,grid 36,
and its path is completed through the tube'. 'I'he potential between grid 36 and filament 21 is substantially that between points 31 and 25, so that when resistance 35 is varied the grid-filament potential is changed. This in turn influences the plate-filament direct current. 'I'he permeability of the iron core of inductance 3'I is determined by the plate-filament direct current', flowing through inductance 3l, and changes in this currentas produced by adjustment of resistance 35, consequently affect the inductance of Winding 3l and hence the oscillating frequency of the transmitter. 'I'he eect of adjusting resistance 35 on the direct current potential of grid is not critical, and this adjustment therefore can be used to adjust the' inductance of winding 3l Within certain limits.
In Calibrating the transmitter it; is connected to the receiver and the condenser 43 is set at the zero limit of its movement and'resistance 35 is adjusted until the receiver indicates zero. 'I'he adjustment of condenser 44 has a negligibleef, fect onthe frequency of the circuit at the zero setting of condenser 43 because the capacity of condenser 44 is butka small fraction of the capacity of condenser 43 at that setting. However, adjusmen't' of resistance 35 cannot correct the calibration of the transmitter at its high range because the resistance 26 has agreater phase angle at the higher frequencies than at the lower frequency corresponding to zero on the receiver scale. the highrange of the scale the condenser 43 is set at the uppermost limit of its range of movement and condenser 44 is adjusted to the point at which the receiver indicates the uppermost This adjustment corrects for linear changes in the phase angle of resistance Therefore, for calibration at 26 with changes of frequency, and non linear 1| The operation of the apparatus vwill now be described. Direct current is supplied to points I2 and I4 from the transformer I and full wave rectifier tube 1, the direct current taps being located at the points 6 and 8, and the inductances 9, II, and condensers 3 and I0 serving to smooth out the direct current supply. The transmitter A (Figure 2) is supplied with direct current at the points I3 and |5' from the points I2 and I4 respectively at the power supply, this direct current being transmitted to the transmitter over the same telephone lines which return the alternating current potential from the transmitter to the receiver. By observing the flow of current through the ammeter 2| and adjusting the resistance 20 to a suitable value, the
potential transmitted to the points I3' and I5' tion regulated power |00, this power being rectified by a vacuum tube can be adjusted to the proper value. The flow of current across the points 23 and 25 through resistance 26 and filament 21 is utilized to heat the cathode 21 of audion 28.
The capacitor 44- is adjusted to a xed value when the instrument is calibrated and remains unchanged during operation, and it will be seen that changes in the capacity of condenser 43 which is actuated by any suitable pressure responsive means or similar device controls the oscillating frequency of the transmiter as previously described. Y
The alternatingpotential is tapped at thel points 23, 25 in the common plate-filament and grid-filament path and constitutes the alternating signal potential which is transmitted back over the telei phone line to the points I3 and I5 at the receiver.
With theswitch connected at 5 I the oscillating signal potential passes through the condenser 22, which howeverdoes'not allow passage of the direct current from the rectier tube 1, .to the amplier tube 55. 'I'he oscillating Apotential is am- 'pliiied in known manner by audion 55, and the amplied oscillatory signal current is divided by the primary inductance 59 and coupled sec'- ondary inductances 'I0 and 1I intotwo current paths 180 out of phase. The audions 14 and 15 have their cathode-anode interconnected respec-A tively, and the pulsating cathode-anode direct current of audion 15 passing through condenser 80 is transmitted through the milliammeter 82 In the modification shown in Figure 3, wherein like parts are designated bylikenumerals, the
transmitter is supplied with power from an intermediate point which may be located any suitable distanceup to labout ten milesfrom the transmitter. The receiver may be located at practically any distance from the point of application of the power supply. In this modifica issupplied to a transformer rectifier IOI and smoothed out by reactances |02, |03, andcondensers |04 and |05. The direct current potential is cut down to a suitable value for the transmitter by adjustment of the resistance 20' as previously described, and inductance I9' prevents the` signal potential from being short circuited through capacitor |05.` vIntransmitter.
ductance I9', like inductance I9, can be used to compensate i'or the effect of. the line on the frequency of the transmitter. The terminals H3 and IIS of the power supply are located up to about ten miles from the transmitter and are connectedthereto over telephone lines, and the i bined resistance of the circuit shown in Figure 1 from the points I2 and I4 to and including the transmitter, and back again to the receiver.
In the modification shown in Figure 3 the constructionv and operation of the receiver is quite similar to that shown in Figure 1. In this construction the direct current output of the full wave rectifier tube 1 is not transmitted to the It serves "to energize amplifier audion and supply current for charging condenser 80 in the same manner as in the modiiication shown in Figure 1. In order to permit the same receiver to be used with either modification shownin Figures 1 and 3 and eliminate separate calibration thereof, a resistance |20 is placed vacross the terminals I2 and I0. This'resistance lines and transmitter, and the leads back again to the points I2 and I4. The terminals |3 and I5 of the receiver are connected to the points I3" and I5 of the power supply by telephone lines. The direct current from the power supply is transmitted from the terminals II3 and H5 over telephone lines to the transmitter A (Figure 2) at the points I3' and I5 respectively, and the oscillating potential signal current is returned over the same telephone linesto the points |I3 and II5 at the power supply, from thence to the points I3 and I5 at the receiver, and as previously explained, produce the proper reading on the miliammeter 82.
In the modied transmitter shown in Figure 4 the inductance 90 has more turns than inductance 9|, and the point 23 is connected to the mid point 9 2 of inductance 9|. 'I'he operation'of this transmitter is similar to that shown in Figure 2, the elimination of inductance 3| providing a more simple construction.
In` the modiiication shown in Figure 5 a variable speed alternating -current generator comprising a pair of slip rings 94 and an armature is operated by the quantity to be measured in any suitable manner. Power is transmitted through the telephone lines tothe terminals 95 and 96 and thence to the eld 91 .to excite the same. 'I'he generated lfrequency passes through condenser 98 back to the transmission line, this condenser serving to block out' the direct current power 4supply and the choke coil .91' blocking the gen- .condenser 43shown in Figure 2, like parts of.
thisvtransmitter being correspondingly numbered.
It will be noted that the coupled inductances 4| and 42 are reversed in this modication, and the reversal of these inductances produces a multiplied reactance eifect in the primary circuit. I use the term multiplied reactance effect throughout the specication and claims to denote generically either a division or Vmultiplication of the reactance elect, as division can be considered as an inverse multiplication.
In the modification shown in Figure 7, oscillating grid-filament and plate-filament currents are segregated and the potential drop caused by the grid-filament current is utiliz'ed to impress an alternating potential on the transmission line. The direct current supply is cconnected across positive and negative terminals I 3 and I5 respectively, and the positive potential is applied .to the plate 29 through inductors 20| and 202 and returned lto the negative terminal I5' through the tube 28 and the lament 21. Condenser 34' blocks direct plate potential from the gridv circuit. The grid direct current flows through inductances 202' and 203 and resistor 35 to iilament 21, it being confined to this path by condenser 201. current passes through inductance 202, condenser 204, tothe lament 21, the inductance 20| conlining the current to this path. The oscillating grid-filament current passes through inductance 202', condenser 201 and resistor 26 to the iilament 21, the inductances 203 and 20| confining the current to this path. 'I'he alternating potential difference across resistance 26 in the grid circuit is impressed on the terminals I3' and I5 to the transmission line as the signal potential.
In the modication shown in Figure 8, theoscillating grid-filament and plate-filament currents are segregated and the potential drop caused by the plate-filament current is utilized to impress an alternating potential on the transmission line. This arrangement gives the greater range of frequency change for a given capacity change, The direct current supply Vis connected across positive and negative terminals I3' and l5 respectively, and the positive potential is applied,
to the plate 29 through inductance 202, and returns to the negative terminal I5 through the tube 28 and filament 21. The grid direct current liows through inductance 202 and resistor 35 to filament 21. The oscillating plate-filament current passes through inductance 202 and resistance 26 to the filament 21. I'he oscillating grid-lament current passes through inductance 202', and condenser 201 to the iilament 21. Condenser 34' blocks direct plate. potential from the grid circuit. The alternating potential diierence across resistance 26 in the plate circuit is impressed on the terminals I3' and I5' to the transmission line as the signal potential.
Figure 9 shows a modified transmitter employing a three wire system, 'the signalling potential and the power supply being isolated at the transmitter. In this modification the power is supplied to terminals I3 and l5', and the oscillating signal output is tapped at the terminals I4 'and' l5', the inductance I9 serving to 'isolate the signal potential from the power supply, and the Capacitor 22 serving to isolate the supply current from the signal output circuit. 'I'his system is used with a receiver and power supply like that shown in Figure 1 or 3, the inductance I9 and condenser 22 however being omitted as their equivalent is employed at the transmitter.
The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or 'Ihe oscillating plate-filamentessential characteristics thereof. The present embodimentis therefore tov be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein'.

Just look at the Cambrian explosion and the evolution theory becomes a spaghetti sieve; so many holes you can't count them all.

One of the best ways to help stop illegal immigration is to go after the many companies that employ them (with extremely heavy fines; how about a million per illegal?). Those that employ illegals are the enablers and in many ways are more guilty than those crossing our boarders. It's disheartening that a number of companies are willing to shed the Constitution for a little cheap labor.

Cardinal Richelieu once said: "If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged", referring to how a government can find aspects in a person's life in order to prosecute and/or blackmail that individual. The whole, "go ahead and spy on me…I have nothing to hide", argument shows complete naivete regarding the simplest aspects of freedom and liberty.

Northshire Bookstore continues to grow in challenging timesBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | September 16,2013PATRICK MCARDLE / Staff photo
The Northshire Bookstore is placing this sculpture, seen here outside the store in Manchester, in its new readers park which is expected to be complete by October. While many independent bookstores are struggling, the Northshire recently added a second site in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and continues to attract best-selling authors for store appearances.MANCHESTER While economic recovery is still soft and many independent bookstores have struggled to compete with larger chains and Internet retailers, Northshire Bookstore has recently opened a second location. It has also announced appearances by best-selling authors and moved forward to finish a readers park outside its Manchester store.
Chris Morrow, owner of the store, agreed that things were going well for Northshire Bookstore.
Were working very hard. We have an excellent staff right now. We opened the Saratoga (Springs, N.Y.) store on Aug. 5 so its been a little over a month and thats been going well, he said.
Northshire employs about 35 people in Manchester and about 20 in Saratoga. Those numbers include part-time employees.
The store in New York is the first time Northshire has opened a second location since the original was founded in 1976. The new location is about 80 percent of the size of the Vermont store and has already hosted the Northshires most popular event, an appearance by fantasy and comic book author Neil Gaiman, which attracted about 1,700 people.
Saratoga is a great small city thats very eclectic and independent-minded and arts-oriented. Theres a lot of educated, upper-income people who appreciate what we have to offer so its really a great fit for us, he said.
Northshire has developed a partnership with the Paramount Theatre which will bring author David Sedaris, radio personality Ira Glass and Garrison Keillor, who is both an author and a radio personality, to Southern Vermont and author Anne Rice is scheduled to appear at the New York store.
The bookstore also got increased visibility recently because of the roundabout project that replaced the intersection of Routes 11/30 and 7A which once had the nickname, Malfunction Junction. Morrow said that while it was difficult when construction was taking place, which was primarily in 2012, the results made it easier to get in and out of the store.
The roundabout also inspired the creation of the readers park which will have the Thomas Jefferson sculpture by New Haven artist Dennis Sparling as its centerpiece. Sparling refurbished the sculpture for its move from the former Jelly Mill, also in Manchester, to the Northshire.
Morrow said the park will be made from marble and granite pieces with gardens designed and installed by Ogden & Chalmers of Landgrove. The project is expected to be complete by the end of October.
Last week, Northshire was notified that it had won the Book Publishers Representatives of New Englands Independent Spirit Award. An email announcing the award said that nominations come from other bookstores and then members vote on the store we most believe stands for all that is great in New England bookselling.
The store was founded by Ed and Barbara Morrow who remain involved in what happens at the store and in the town of Manchester. Ed Morrow is a regular presence at municipal meetings and Barbara Morrow pitches in at the store from time to time.
Morrow said his parents enjoyed the process that led to the new site.
They enjoy seeing something theyre created expand and evolve. Its been nice to have their participation, he said.
At a time when bookstores are struggling, Morrow said he believed there were a few reasons Northshire was able to thrive.
Overall, its a certain aesthetic that my parents created and I try to maintain and enhance that. (It) involves the physical space being uplifting and interesting and welcoming; the selection being very refined and well-thought-out and broad; and our staff who are just an incredible bunch of booksellers and buyers. ... In the age of Amazon, theres room for what we offer, he said.

DHAKA, Bangladesh - Bangladesh has begun building its first nuclear power plant, which eventually is to have two Russian-designed reactors and cost $4 billion.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina laid the foundation stone Wednesday for the nuclear plant in Rooppur in the country's northwest.
The first reactor is expected to start generating 1,000 megawatts of power by 2018. A second reactor would later double that capacity to 2,000 megawatts.
Bangladesh signed a deal with Russian state-owned nuclear giant Rosatom in 2011 to build the plant. Russia agreed to provide low-cost loans to finance 90 per cent of the project.
The energy-starved South Asian country faces daily shortages of about 2,000 megawatts of electricity.

How a Cashier Tried to Undermine My Parenting & Ruin a Teaching Moment
By Karen Klasi on June 28, 2012
So the Monkey and I were at the commissary the other day, picking up a few things to get us through the week. He did not want to be there. Duh. I did not want to be there. I promised we would hurry, and asked for his help.
This is how he helped: He kung-fu'ed a watermelon... and split that sucker right open.
For the tiniest fraction of a single split second, he was horrified. Shock passed over his face like a fast-moving summer storm, disappearing just as quickly as it had come, and leaving in its place a look of mischievous (say it like the Brits, please) pride.
In the very next second, he stuck his hands into the bin and began to flip the watermelon, intent on placing it cracked-side down.
(Born innocent, my hiney.)
That moment, the mid-flip moment, must have been the one in which he felt my eyes boring a fiery hole into the side of his skull. He glanced up.
Ever so calmly, like the mother I wish to be and every so often manage to call forth, I said, "Put your watermelon in a bag, son, and put it in the cart." The still-smoking hole in the side of his head must have provided sufficient motivation, because he silently did as he was told. We continued on, but strangely, I no longer felt obligated to hurry.
Imagine that.
When we got to the checkout, the thing I feared might happen, happened. The well-meaning, grandmotherly clerk eyed the busted watermelon as I placed it on the belt. She squinched her eyebrows first at me, and then at the Monkey.
Calm Mom smiling serenely, "We need to pay for that."
Clerk Lady smiling cluelessly, "You don't have to, I can just throw it away."
Calm Mom determinedly, "Thank you, but we need to pay for it."
Clerk Lady determinedly clueless, "Really. I'll just take care of it," as she moved to take it off the belt.
Mostly-Calm Mom, with the slightest edge to her voice, "Oh, no you won't. It's a lesson in character."
Clerk Lady: disapproving silence
Eerily-Calm Mom: inner grrrrr-ing
Monkey, "Can I have some gum?"
With all the back-and-forthing (and the gum request, for the love), I feared the lesson was a goner. Today, though, I experienced one of those mothering moments in which the clouds part and the sun streams through while the angels add background music to the whole glorious display.
The Whole Glorious Display: The car. I'm in the driver's seat, with the Monkey by my side. We just so happen to be passing the mall.
"Mom. I have my birthday money, ten bucks from mowing the lawn, and twelve from babysitting last night. I'm only three dollars short of having enough money for those Jordans. I can't earn more money for a whole week!"
"Just three dollars? Wow! Isn't that, like, the price of a watermelon?"
Silence -- (and singing angels)

Iran president criticizes hard-liners over mediaMarch 8, 2014 @ 2:30 am (Updated: 2:40 am - 3/8/14 )
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's moderate-leaning president has strongly criticized hard-line officials for ordering reformist newspapers shut down.
Judicial authorities ordered two pro-reform newspapers — Aseman and Bahar — closed in recent months on allegations of questioning Islamic principles.
President Hassan Rouhani told reporters Saturday that it was wrong to close down a newspaper on its first offense just because one writer was seen as inappropriate. His comments were broadcast live on state TV.
Rouhani said his opponents were free to attack him. Hard-line media has denounced the historic nuclear deal his administration reached with world powers in Geneva last year a "poisoned chalice."
Iran's hard-line judiciary has shut down more than 150 pro-reform newspapers and jailed dozens of editors and writers, often on vague charges of insulting authorities, since 2000.
