No. 5,837,021, which is a continuation-in-part of prior application Ser. No. 08/389,804, filed Feb. 16, 1995, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to installations for the treatment of at least one fluid, of the type comprising at least one receptacle defining a non-vertical portion of a fluid path through at least two masses of adjacent particulate material disposed in the receptacle.
Installations of this type find widespread application in the art, with particulate materials such as catalysts and/or adsorbents. In most of the these uses, obtaining optimal performance depends on the constant thickness of each mass of particulate material in the direction of fluid flow, which is to say the geometric precision of the interface between two adjacent layers. Until now, particularly in installations with masses of concentric different adsorbents, this interfacial precision requires the emplacement, which is delicate and difficult, of an intermediate grid, as described in EP-A-0,118,349.
The present invention has for its object to provide a simplified installation for the treatment of fluid, with considerably reduced capital costs and offering great flexibility of use and numerous possibilities for optimization.
To do this, according to one characteristic of the invention, the two adjacent masses of particulate material are in direct contact with each other in an interfacial region, typically substantially vertical, substantially flat or preferably substantially cylindrical.
In the present invention, by "direct contact in an interfacial zone", is intended an interfacial zone without mixing, or with slight mixing for a slight depth, free from any wall or partition interposed between the two adjacent masses.
The present invention has for another object industrial uses of such installations, particularly for the treatment of air flow, for example the drying and/or separation of at least one gaseous constituent of an air flow.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments given by way of non-limiting example, with respect to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view of an installation for treatment according to the invention in the course of loading according to one embodiment of the installation;
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the double pouring device of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are views similar to FIG. 1 showing modified embodiments of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view of another embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an installation according to FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is another alternative embodiment of an installation according to the invention;
FIG. 8 depicts a container in the completely filled configuration; and
FIG. 9 depicts a container at the start of filling.
In the description which follows and the drawings, identical or analogous elements bear the same reference numerals, primed as may be.
In FIG. 1 there is shown a receptacle 1 of an installation for purification by adsorption of the type described in EP-A-0,118,349 mentioned above, defining an internal closed volume with a vertical axis divided internally by a tubular central grid 2 and a tubular concentric peripheral grid 3 into a central volume 4, an annular intermediate volume 5, and a concentric annular peripheral volume 6, the annular intermediate volume 5 being filled with at least one, and in this case two masses of adsorbent A, B, traversed successively by the gas flowing radially between the volumes 4 and 6 and, according to the invention, having no intermediate grid. For the purification of air before its distillation or for the separation of air by so-called adsorption techniques by pressure variation (PSA or VSA), the adsorbents A and B are generally constituted of particulate materials that differ from each other according to their composition and/or their granulometry, typically of particles of alumina and/or zeolite, respectively.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, an apparatus for using adsorbent masses A and B according to a process of the present invention comprises two side-by-side diffusing devices 7 and 8 of an overall width less than the radial width of the intermediate volume 5 and secured to a frame 9 comprising drive means, for example rollers 10 bearing radially on the walls of the grids 2 and 3 and driven in rotation by a motor 11 carried by the frame. Each diffusion device 7, 8 comprises a principal portion forming a particulate material reserve prolonged downwardly and rearwardly in a rear thinner portion terminating in a distribution mouth 12, 13, respectively, the lower anterior surface of each device 7, 8 having for example a profile of a rounded shoe 14 prolonged rearwardly by a horizontal support surface terminating at the pouring mouth 12, 13. In the illustrated embodiment, the principal portions of the diffusing devices 7 and 8 are connected by telescopic or flexible conduits 15 and 16, respectively, to reservoirs 17 and 18 of particulate material supported rotatably at 19 on the upper imperforate end of the central grid 2. The reservoirs 17 and 18 as well as the diffusing devices 7 and 8 are so dimensioned as to be able to pass through an access opening 20 formed preferably axially in the upper end of the shell of the receptacle 1, so as to be withdrawn after filling the intermediate volume 5.
As will be seen clearly in FIG. 2, each diffusing device 7, 8 leaves behind it, when it is moved in the direction away from the mouths 12, 13, a continuous strip 21A, 21B of particulate material having a cross section corresponding to that of the depositing mouth 12, 13, and hence of constant thickness. Thus, by turning the diffusing devices 7 and 8 in the intermediate chamber 5, they deposit at each revolution a layer of two adjacent strips 21A, 21B of the same thickness occupying all the radial width of the intermediate volume 5. With each new revolution, the diffusing devices 7 and 8, bearing on the layer previously deposited and sliding on this latter, deposit progressively a new layer, so as to build up the height of the intermediate volume 5, after which the diffusing devices and the reservoirs 17 and 18 are withdrawn and the blocking and/or sealing means are emplaced, at the top of the intermediate volume 5, to prevent in use local phenomena of bypassing the fluid or fluidization of the masses A and B.
As will also be seen in FIG. 2, the process for producing an installation according to the invention permits emplacing side by side at least two different adsorbent beds, of different material or of the same material having different granulometries, without having to provide according to the invention any separating or containing grid between the masses of particulate materials. Thus, the simultaneous side-by-side spreading in this embodiment of the strips 21A, 21B, of constant controlled thickness, in practice between 1 and 20 cm, avoids problems of sloping at the edges and limits, even with very fluid particulate materials, the problems of mixing between two adjacent strips, this mixing zone being of the order of the width of the slope, which is to say of the order of three times the thickness of the spread strip if spreading is sequential, or a value which is substantially less if the spreading is, as in this preferred embodiment, simultaneous.
There is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 embodiments of filling permitting giving freedom from the requirement to deposit simultaneously or semi-simultaneously and using a sliding barrier 30 of low height, therefore disposable in the height of the receptacle at the end of the filling phase and moving vertically with the deposit of the layers of particulate material, thereby achieving, by elimination of the slope, the same precise interface upon sequential spreading or deposition as for simultaneous spreading, as previously described. There is shown in FIG. 3 the two spreading devices 7 and 8 of FIG. 1, here separate and independent, as permitted by the sliding barrier 30, but synchronized in their operation. A sliding barrier 30 is present in the form of a section of tube disposed concentrically within the space 5 and having an axial height greater than 1.5 times the axial height of the least high mouth (13) of the spreading devices 7, 8, between which it extends. Preferably, the upper end of the barrier 30 comprises a radial flange 31 bearing on a turning member 32 at the top of one of the spreading devices so as to be displaced axially simultaneously with this latter, the other spreading device being actuated in rotation in synchronism with the first. Preferably, each resulting mass has a height greater than approximately four times its horizontal thickness.
The embodiment of FIG. 4 is different from that of FIG. 3 by the fact that the filling of one of the masses of particulate material, in this instance the internal mass B, is here effected by pouring from above, as permitted by the sliding barrier 30, via a manifold 80 displaced in rotation in synchronism with the deposition, by a spreading device 7 such as described above, of strata of constant thickness according to the processes of FIGS. 1 and 3.
There is shown in FIG. 5 a device with two sliding barriers for loading three masses of concentric particulate material in the internal volume defined between the interior and exterior grids 2 and 3. As shown in FIG. 5, the device comprises a rotating device 70, displaceable axially by being preferably suspended at the top of the receptacle 1, with three pouring hoppers 71, 72, 73, connected by transverse arms 74 and provided with members that roll or bear with low friction coacting with the radial flanges 311 and 312 of two concentric tubular sliding barriers 301, 302, separating the volumes of the three concentric adsorbent masses A, B, C. The dispensing hoppers 71-73, fed by supplies turning with the device as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, comprise lower pouring openings 81, 82, 83, opening respectively into the annular spaces between the internal barrier 312 and the internal grid 2, between the barriers 312 and 311, and between the external barrier 311 and the external grid 3. After filling the zone between the grids 2 and 3, the device 10 is demounted and removed from the receptacle 1 through the opening 20, then the upper volume above the masses A, B, C is at least partially occupied by one or several containing devices for the upper parts of the masses A-C, for example via an inflatable member 40 connectible to a source of gas under pressure.
As will be understood from the above, the principal technical problem resides in the provision of at least two homogeneous masses of particulate material within the volume confined by the adsorber, more particularly when the masses are annular and concentric: it is necessary thus to maintain the levels of the particulate material within the receptacle volume or in the spreading devices within narrow limits (the height of the successive layers in the modifications according to FIGS. 1 and 2, the height of the sliding barrier in the modifications of FIGS. 3 to 5, the height of the hopper of the diffusing device). These heights are thus necessarily limited by the need to be able to remove the pouring or spreading devices from the receptacle at the end of filling or to leave them within a volume or within the height of this latter without their impairing the good operation of the installation. It is therefore difficult, apart from installations with receptacles of small dimensions which can be assembled in a factory, to effect the filling of an upwardly open receptacle, which permits the use of at least one sliding barrier having a height greater than a third of that of the grids 2 and 3, that can be removed after complete filling of the receptacle whose upper end will then be welded or assembled by a ring on the peripheral edge. According to the invention, the flow of each particulate material emplaced within the receptacle must be adapted at all times so as to maintain homogeneous levels. To this end, the pouring/diffusing devices should comprise at least a control means for the flow rate of the particulate material, typically upstream of the spreading device, for example withdrawal devices with valves or lugs, as shown at 51 and 52 in FIG. 1, means for measuring the level of the particulate material in the spreading hoppers, for example, photoelectric cells as shown at 53 and 54 in FIG. 2, or reflective devices, particularly ultrasonic, as shown in 55 and 56 in FIG. 5.
Represented in FIG. 7 is another alternative embodiment of concentric annular beds in a concentric-bed plant similar to the previous ones. Shown again here are the particulate-material reservoirs 17 and 18 and their rotary support 19, in this case of the supported-arm type, which are arranged, in this case, outside the container 1, each discharging via a hose or telescopic pipe 15, 16, respectively, into the adjacent annular spaces delimited, in the intermediate annular volume 5 between the perforated walls 2 and 3, by a shell forming a slip form 30.
As may be seen on the left-hand part of FIG. 7, the lower end of each pipe, respectively 16 and 15, emerges slightly below the upper end of the form 30 and is fastened to the latter, in a disconnectible manner, at 46. Thus, by discharging a quantity of particulate material greater than the free volume formed by the slip form, this volume is filled until the mass of particulate material is flush with the end of the pipe 15, 16, which thus interrupts the filling of the said volume. The discharge is then interrupted by the valves 51, 52 and the form shell 30 is raised, for example by cables 47 passing through the passages 40 and the openings 41, 42, through a height less than the height of the shell itself, that is to say with its lower end still immersed in the previously deposited layers of particulate materials, the lower ends of the pipes 15 and 16 accompanying this movement and remaining in position with respect to the shell 30 for a new charging step.
In the embodiment in FIG. 7, the pipes 15 and 16 extend through filling orifices 40 formed in the upper wall of the container 1, vertically in line with the annular space 5 and angularly distributed around the axis of the container 1, and through openings 41, 42 formed in deflecting plates 43 and 44 converging typically on each other as a V, leaving an annular passage 45 at their vertex and forming the upper boundary of the active part of the annular beds A and B guiding the flows of fluid, in this zone, through these beds. When the shell 30, after the end of raising, has reached the level of the deflecting plates 43 and 44, it is pulled up, in the example shown, through the annular space 45 between the facing ends of these deflecting plates and remains permanently housed in the upper end of the container 1 in the configuration shown by dotted lines at the top of the right-hand part of FIG. 7. The openings 41 and 42 in the plates 43 and 44 are closed off and then reserves of particulate materials are poured in via the shortened pipes 15 and 16 above the deflecting plates 44, 43 which remain separated by the shell 30 immobilized in its upper position. Filling is completed by discharging the particulate materials directly via the orifices 40 on either side of the shell 30, after which the pipes 15 and 16, the reservoirs 17 and 18 and their support 19 are removed, the passages 40 closed off and the container placed in the operational condition.
In the embodiment in FIG. 8, which represents a container in the completely filled configuration, the slip form 30 includes a gas-"transparent" lower part 30A, typically in the form of sandwiches of meshes, which does not disrupt the production of a distinct interfacial zone between two contiguous beds. In this case, as shown in the right-hand part in FIG. 8, the said meshed lower part can remain immersed in the operational zone of the beds A and B, beneath the deflectors 43, 44. Optionally, as shown in the left-hand part in FIG. 7, the deflectors may be omitted, the upper "solid" part of the form 30, also immersed in the masses A and B, forming an obstacle and preventing short-circuiting passages of fluid via the top of the beds.
Illustrated in FIG. 9, which represents a container at the start of filling, is another embodiment of contiguous vertical layers of differentiated materials without a separating screen according to the invention. In this case, the materials are discharged, in synchronism, directly into the annular chambers beneath the filling orifices 40. These chambers are initially delimited by a shell 33 of defined height, the upper edge of which is fixed to the roof of the container and, permanently, to their lower end, by an annular bottom wall 34 which can slide in a sealed manner along the inner 2 and outer 3 containing screens, and which is retained, during its descent, by cables 47. The bottom wall 34 is progressively lowered until it ends up resting on the bottom structure of the container 1, as shown by dotted lines in the lower part of FIG. 9. It will be understood that, in this embodiment, the strata of adjacent beds, formed on either side of the shell 33 "descend" progressively with the bottom 34, while being maintained contiguous and guided by the screens 2 and 3. When the container is completely filled, the shell 33, which extends as far as the upper level of the "let-through" zones of the containing screens 2 and 3, acts as an anti-bypass baffle, in the manner of the form 30 of the embodiments in FIGS. 7 and 8.
Although the present invention has been described with respect to particular embodiments, it is not thereby limited but on the contrary is susceptible to modifications and variations which will be apparent to one skilled in the art. Thus, the process of FIGS. 1 and 2 can be used to deposit sequentially parallel strips in vertical non-cylindrical treatment installations, particularly to provide therein a plurality of adjacent masses of particulate materials of small thickness and having different granulometries.

Director: John Carney
Cast: Mark Ruffalo, Keira Knightley, Adam Levine, Catherine Keener, James Corden, CeeLo Green
Rating: ***
What's it about: Dan, a down-and-out record executive and Gretta, the ex-girlfriend of a rising pop star, meet in a bar and after a few hiccups, connect, make music on-the-go, eventually cutting a DIY (do-it-yourself) album with a little help from friends and musicians in New York.
What's hot: In this pleasantly-paced feel-good dramedy by 'Once' director John Carney, the music is what draws you in and what keeps you in your seat. Sure, Mark Ruffalo (as the self-pitying record exec in question) is on-the-dot, quirks et al. And if you look at Keira Knightley's pained glances, arched eyebrows and awkward sighs and silences (and utterings, thereof) and call it acting, you're in for a treat, too.
But what you have to grudgingly admit, is that she has the voice. And speaking of The Voice, Adam Levine as Keira's douche-y sellout pop star boyfriend is no acting slouch either. He makes a confident debut. And in a fun art-imitating-life moment, CeeLo draws the guffaws. There's a subplot about a daughter growing up a little too soon and sooner than you can say, "Californication?"let me remind you, this here's a family-friendly film. And this film? It might as well be called How To Save A Life (or Lives). Also, what works for the film is that it ties up nicely and is actually quite realistic.
What's not: In Once, Carney showed us the beauty of simplicity. The talented Irishman's knack for telling a story that makes you feel, is still there in Begin Again. But, it seems, Hollywood seems to have hit him hard. The charm that made that film a success, Begin Again's lead cast's performances notwithstanding, appears to have gone for a leisurely stroll.
What to do: The music of this film makes you smile. The performances are sincere. Keira sings in the film and she isn't bad at all. What more can one ask of a film these days. Worth a watch, for sure!

Man is fatally shot by Marion County deputy
Published: Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 11:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 11:56 p.m.
OCKLAWAHA — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating a fatal shooting Saturday night in which a Marion County sheriff's deputy shot a man he had pulled over for a traffic stop.
Sheriff's officials said deputy Steve Simpson made the traffic stop at the intersection of County Road 25 and County Road 464-C that resulted in the man being fatally shot.
Officials said late Saturday night they didn't have details as to what the traffic stop entailed, nor could they say what circumstances led up to the shooting.
Simpson received some bumps and bruises in the incident but is considered fine, officials added.
The identity of the man who was fatally shot has not been released, pending family notification.
As is protocol in such cases, the Sheriff's Office asked the FDLE to review the case.
Also, as protocol, any deputy involved in a shooting is automatically placed on administrative leave until the investigation is coincluded.

Los Angeles County residents who like to sell cars by parking them on the street with a simple sign in the window could soon face having the car impounded with additional parking violation fees added.
At tomorrow's board meeting Los Angeles County Supervisors are expected to vote on an ordinance to restrict vehicles parked on county roads for the sole purpose of selling them, including streets in Valencia, Castaic and Acton.
California courts have been supportive of actions by cities and counties to "reasonably regulate" the time, place, and manner in which its public streets are used for the sale of vehicles.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The County says they've experienced a proliferation of used vehicles being parked or left idle on public streets for the purpose of advertising or displaying vehicles for sale, resulting in a negative impact on the county's residents and businesses.
Tony Bell, Communications Deputy for Fifth District Supervisor says the public may believe these are just regular people trying to sell their cars, but many are really private businesses.
"These are folks making a living using the public streets as a used car lot," Bell said.
They not only provide unfair competition they take up the parking spaces of local businesses and the consumers who want to patronize the retailers, Bell explained.
If passed, the ordinance would amend Title 15 – Vehicles and Traffic of the Los Angeles County Code, stating that "No person shall park or leave standing any motor vehicle with a sign or placard on such vehicle at any of the locations listed below which makes it appear that the primary purpose for parking such vehicle at that location is to advertise to the public or the private sale of such vehicle."
Besides the commercial aspect of the impromptu car lots, there is the blot on the landscape.
"Blight has certainly played into the quality of life issue," Bell said.
The new ordinance would take effect 30 days after passage.
The following local streets would be affected, subjecting vehicles to removal, impoundment and possible additional parking violation fees:
The Old Road (Valencia):
- Both sides of The Old Road between Red Oak Court and Magic Mountain Parkway.
Castaic Road (Castaic):
- Both sides of Castaic Road between its northerly terminus and Ridge Route Road.
Parker Road (Castaic):
- Both sides of Parker Road between Sloan Canyon Road and Ridge Route Road.
Ridge Route Road (Castaic):
- Both sides of Ridge Route Road between Lake Hughes Road and Parker Road.
Sloan Canyon Road (Castaic):
- Both sides of Sloan Canyon Road between Quail Valley Road and The Old Road.
Sierra Highway (Acton):
- North side of Sierra Highway between Red Rover Mine Road and Clanfield Street.
Crown Valley Road (Acton):
- Both sides of Crown Valley Road between Sierra Highway and Sourdough Road.
In August 2010, The California Department of Motor Vehicles conducted a survey of its eight DMV Investigation Offices throughout Los Angeles County to document the issues its investigators were seeing in the field with vehicles parked for sale or for advertising purposes.
The DMV Survey found that the unrestricted parking of vehicles for commercial purposes causes passing motorists to slow down or stop to obtain information on the signage on the parked vehicles, causes motorists to illegally "double park" next to such vehicles and get out of their cars to examine the vehicles thereby blocking traffic, and encourages jaywalking across streets for prospective buyers to inspect the vehicles, thereby creating dangerous traffic conditions for other motorists and pedestrians alike in the County.

Here in UK three levels same as in US-however you are only allowed to operate at sea on full licence.Just been reading up on this for whats called in UK intermediate licence.
According to Radio Society of Great Britain and ofcom our regulatory and radio licencing body International Regulations do not recognise either of the first two stages of licences and certainly in UK restrict both transmission power and frequency bands.
Is this not the same in US and Canada?
However if you have a Marine long range certificate or full Ham licence you can transmit either Ham or Marine frequencies.
Again in UK once you progress beyond your first stage Ham licence for your intermediate and full you have to know your electronics-basic circuitry etc.
If you take a Marine operators long range certificate training course all you need to know is how to operate radio and work in emergency situations.
However over here that can cost you £1000 UK!
Of course over here you can register your boat and be given a vessel call for free so long as a qualified operator works the radio.
As for the Nets watch out for Russell Radio Bay of Islands NZ-If you find yourselves chatting there is a nice bar/cafe right next door to look forward to when you arrive there after a transpacific trip.
No I cheated I flew from LA and drove from Auckland!
By the way my brother in law used to live in Missisauga(Barrisdale Drive/Road)-now lives in Severn,Orillia.Always remember the address as Barrisdale ,Loch Horn is about 40 miles away-nothing there only a name -it should have been Barrisdale Sydney Australia but the empty ex slaving immigrant ship wrecked itself over here so the poor residents of Barrisdale were "cleared" to the Maritimes instead of Australia!

It distributes to book sellers world wide and the Russellville author can even be found on foreign language websites. Every day more readers download a copy of the book making the sky the limit.
Currently Smashwords has over 290,000 titles available with 39,000 of them priced free. Mr Daech has offered his e-book free for over the last year and has seen downloads steadily increase. Every day the site offers reports to the author showing their page views and sales. Authors can easily adjust pricing, track sales, and update promotions. Smashwords is user friendly for readers too, allowing them to create digital libraries and rate the books they have read. Mr. Daech's five start rated book will remain free at Smashwords while his second e-book, Haunted Romance, released in October of 2013 costs a low ninety-nine cents.
Haunted Romance offers the story of high school student, Tori Clark. In the book, she and her mother are starting over. They've moved to a new town and they have a new home. Things are different for them, but Tori never expected to be sharing her bedroom with a ghost! Tori and the ghost work to solve an historic local cold case murder mystery. Along the way, a haunted romance forms between them. A love story spanning thirty years and crossing from life to death plays out as justice is brought to the murderer who still lives just around the corner.
Haunted Romance has been available for six months at Smashwords. A recent e-book week promotion saw a rush of forty downloads in seven days. There are hopes for just as much excitement over the release of his next e-book titled, Seedy Hills, an odd little town, which is scheduled to release in August of 2014. Preordering will start in June at smashwords.com and other online retailers. This book consists of a collection of stories that takes place in a rural Kentucky town called Seedy Hills, so named after the summer wild flowers that cover the hills around the town. Vampires, Ghosts, UFOs murders and more paint a picture of a very strange place. All of the stories are tied together by the main character, Eric Green. Eric is a reporter for the local newspaper. He's a stubborn, arrogant, self centered semi-retired writer who thinks he knows it all. Maybe he does, because with his connections, keen smell for a good story and hard work, he always solves the case and saves the day. Through the series of short stories Eric learns about life, love and the fact that he and other people have feelings. Late in life the rusty old reporter learns that being from an odd little, run down town may not be all that bad.
Mr. Deach has been writing fiction for years but until his association with Smashwords has been mostly out of the public's eye with only a few magazine publications and a second place award in a 2007 Frank and Cellia Conley Writing Contest at Western Kentucky University. Now with the help of the internet people from around the world can read his work. With books that are priced free or for only a dollar wealth is not his goal. This Russellville author just wants to entertain and tell a story.

### UPDATE (22 March 2013) ###
The ADMX and ADML files for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 are now available as a separate download. This includes 185 ADMX files, and is the complete set of all ADMX files for these OSes. Please use this download instead of the instructions in this post to create your super-set of updated ADMX/ADML files.
A while back I posted something similar regarding upgrading the PolicyDefinitions folder in SYSVOL from Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 set of ADMX/ADML files to their newer versions in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. That post is here.
Well, it's now time to move that on as Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 are now out.
First off, all ADMX/ADML files have had their dates updated. While I didn't look to see if all the contents of the files have changed, it's probably best to assume every file has changed and update all of them.
One of them "("InputPersonalization.admx") has been removed since Windows 7. It controlled 1 setting, and this setting has been moved into the larger ControlPanel.admx. Meaning this admx/adml can be deleted once the newer ControlPanel.admx file is copied to the PolicyDefinitions folder.
Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 offer a range of new features (he says putting it mildly), and there are new admx/adml files for these. So make sure you include these in your update
AppxPackageManager.admx AppXRuntime.admx DeviceCompat.admx DeviceSetup.admx EAIME.admx EdgeUI.admx EncryptFilesonMove.admx FileServerVSSAgent.admx FileServerVSSProvider.admx hotspotauth.admx LocationProviderAdm.admx msched.admx NCSI.admx NetworkIsolation.admx Printing2.admx Servicing.admx SettingSync.admx srm-fci.admx StartMenu.admx WCM.admx WinStoreUI.admx wlansvc.admx WPN.admx wwansvc.admx
AppxPackageManager.admx AppXRuntime.admx DeviceCompat.admx DeviceSetup.admx EAIME.admx EdgeUI.admx EncryptFilesonMove.admx FileServerVSSAgent.admx FileServerVSSProvider.admx hotspotauth.admx LocationProviderAdm.admx msched.admx NCSI.admx NetworkIsolation.admx Printing2.admx Servicing.admx SettingSync.admx srm-fci.admx StartMenu.admx WCM.admx WinStoreUI.admx wlansvc.admx WPN.admx wwansvc.admx
As with the previous operating systems, there are some admx/adml files which exist on the server SKU which do not also exist on the client SKU, and vice versa:
adfs.admx FileServerVSSAgent.admx GroupPolicy-Server.admx MMCSnapIns2.admx NAPXPQec.admx PswdSync.admx Snis.admx TerminalServer-Server.admx WindowsServer.admx
adfs.admx FileServerVSSAgent.admx GroupPolicy-Server.admx MMCSnapIns2.admx NAPXPQec.admx PswdSync.admx Snis.admx TerminalServer-Server.admx WindowsServer.admx
DeviceRedirection.admx sdiagschd.admx
DeviceRedirection.admx sdiagschd.admx
And the easy way to get all the possible ADMX/ADML files for a particular OS without having to install all the roles/features is to simply copy them out of the winsxs directory (replace en-US in the commands below if your OS is installed in a language other than English). Here is a sample set of commands which can do this for you. You'd need to run this on both a Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 computers to capture all possible admx/adml files.
cd /d %windir%\winsxs dir *.admx /s /b > %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\admx.txt dir *.adml /s /b | find /i "en-us" > %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\adml_en-us.txt
mkdir %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\PolicyDefinitions mkdir %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\PolicyDefinitions\en-US FOR /F %i IN (%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\admx.txt) DO copy %i %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\PolicyDefinitions\ FOR /F %i IN (%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\adml_en-us.txt) DO copy %i %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\
I hope that helps you with your admx/adml upgrade.
That really helped, thx.
This great. Now that I've run the cmds and got the two export txt files on the desktop, what do I do to import them onto the 2012 DCs/servers so that I can manage the group policy settings?
Also, the Policy Definitions folder that it creates has only one subfolder that contains nothing. Should it have something in it?
@john. The text files are created so you can see what files will be copied from the winsxs directory. It then copies the files from there to the PolicyDefinitions folder on the desktop. It sounds like the copy is failing. You'll have error messages with every file copy attempt which should guide you to your solution.
The script is just an example for you to customise to make sure it works with your particular environment.
Good article and helpful info
 engineer blogs
Useful post, however I have a question.....I can't seem to find the latest ADMX for Win8 and 2012 available for download from MS....any reason why these are not available through the normal channel ?
Office 2013 are available, but nothing for 2012 and Windows 8 (or not that I can find anyway)
Made script enhancements. Original does not support roaming profiles properly.
if NOT EXIST c:\tmp mkdir c:\tmp
pushd %windir%\winsxs
dir *.admx /s /b > c:\tmp\admx.txt
dir *.adml /s /b | find /i "en-us" > c:\tmp\adml_en-us.txt
mkdir c:\tmp\PolicyDefinitions
mkdir c:\tmp\PolicyDefinitions\en-US
FOR /F %%i IN (c:\tmp\admx.txt) DO copy %%i c:\tmp\PolicyDefinitions\
FOR /F %%i IN (c:\tmp\adml_en-us.txt) DO copy %%i c:\tmp\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\
Can I copy all the files which are exported from winsxs to my CentralStore and overwrite everything in there? Are all admx and adml files backwards compatble with my Windows Windows Server 2008 R2 GPO's?
@Roel. Yes, you can overwrite your existing files in your central store. Note that down-level GPMC, gpedit.msc consoles may not understand the settings defined in these files. Therefore you should only edit the GPOs from Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 once you do this. I personally haven't tested if the new ADMX/ADML files cause these apps to throw errors. But I have seen errors when editing GPOs on Vista once the central store got upgraded to Windows 7 ADMX/ADML files.
Wouldn't it be simpler to copy the admx files from the PolicyDefinitions folder?
Sorry, meant to logon before I posted the previous comment.
@Scott - the point is that the PolicyDefinitions folder on the client OS has some ADMX files which are not in the PolicyDefinitions folder on the server OS, and vice versa. But the winsxs folder has them all. See the lists above titled "ADMX/ADML files which exist on Windows Server 2012 but do NOT exist on Windows 8" and "ADMX/ADML files which exist on Windows 8 but do NOT exist on Windows Server 2012".
Dear Craig, thanks for that posting, can you explain why I got some file override warnings in the copy step? It seems that there are more than "one" version in my local winsxs folder and this making my quite nervous. :)
Could you please also give me a hint about the difference of winsxs and the PolicyDefinitions folder? :)
@Sebastian - the version differences your're seeing are that WinSXS keeps past versions of every update from every hotfix or Windows Update or Service Pack. So you're seeing multiple versions of the same files in there. The script was meant as a hint to help you locate the most recent version. Please use your own logic to locate the most recent version of each of the files in WinSXS.
PoliciyDefinitions folder only stores a link to the files in WinSXS, but not a link to ALL files in WinSXS, only for the roles and features on that particular instance of Windows. Which is why I recommend using the WinSXS directory, as that contains all possible admx/adml files.
I hope that helps.
Hi Craig,
Thank you for the writeup.
I have a couple of questions for you.
You said that got some errors when upgraded Central Store to W7 from Vista.
Instead of getting the list of adm/admx files from winsxs folder, wouldn't be easier get the content of the PolicyDefinitios folder from a Windows 8 machine, then the content from a Windows 2012 server and copy all the files to the domain central store?
We have a Windows 2003 forest functional level with only one domain. There are Windows XP and Windows 7 machines and some Windows 8 are coming in, so we need the admx files for that SO. Could I manage all the Policies from a central GPO-management machine?
I've been managing the GPO for XP/Windows 7 from the same machine with no issues for a long time.
Thank you.
@fedayn1 - See my answers to Scott, Sebastian and Roel above.

Recent reviews:
February 18, 2015 - I ordered at least 80 plus of these bracelets! I carry them with me & when someone mentions about breast cancer, I give them out. Love that I can do this!
November 20, 2014 - November 2014 Purchased 100 Band of Support Pink Ribbon bracelets to pass out as favors at a curling bonspiel held yearly in Ottawa, Ontario in memory of my mother who passed away from breast cancer 6 years ago. A wonderful way to show support and awareness. Your customer service rep was very helpful as I had some difficulty placing an online order from Canada as well as afterwards creating an online account. I'm sure I will be ordering from Greater Good again in the future.
December 16, 2013 - Love them :).
May 15, 2013 - Bought as party favors, 'free gift', Halloween, and as awareness. buy 1, get one free, nice bonus
May 5, 2013 - One of the best ways for anyone to show their support. I can't wait to be able to pass these out to a very special family I know that has survivors, I know it will be appreciated.

There's Gold In Them Thar Windows
by on Dec 16, 3:00 PM
Just when we thought the content marketing machine Beyonce had set the creative output bar to a new level last week, here comes hubby Jay-Z, not to be outdone. His new fragrance for men, Gold, is being launched this Christmas with cool transmedia-like tactics, including this one-of-a-kind interactive installation in the windows of, where else? Macy's in Herald Square.

When Everyone Zigs, ZAP!
by on Dec 2, 4:36 PM
Maintaining your brand's cultural relevance in the age of real-time marketing now means being prepared to use the context of current events whenever they happen. But there are some annual events that always make news, with universal truths that don't require digital newsrooms to put great creative in media context. Case in point, Thanksgiving travel. Nearly everyone travels somewhere Thanksgiving weekend, and whether you're coming or going, you're bound to be waiting somewhere -- especially if you're flying. Which is why ZAPPOS took to the baggage carousels of Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport to create a roulette-style game for passengers ...

Purina's Bus Shelter Ads Make Cats Want To Pounce -- And Humans, Play
by Amy Corr on Nov 25, 3:34 PM
To launch the debut of Felix, a cat food brand, in Mexico City, Purina created life-sized cat's cradles in five bus shelters throughout the city. Would this much yarn put a smile on Grumpy Cat's face? Probably not, but it gave me one, as I fondly recalled playing Cat's Cradle as a kid. Big Bang Global, a Mexico City-based agency, came up with the creative concept, which took two weeks to conceptualize and create.

S.W.A.V.: Aussie Postal Service Ships Holiday Gifts With Personal Videos Attached
by on Nov 18, 4:06 PM
Sending a video greeting might not seem like anything new. After all, from SnapChat and Facetime to SKYPE -- and all points in between -- video posts have become the way of the world. But context is everything, especially when you care enough to send the very best: yourself. This Christmas, the Australian Postal Service won't just be send your gift -- they'll be sending your personal video greeting right along with it.

Gentlemen, Remix Your Engines
by on Nov 4, 2:52 PM
Among the many behaviors adopted by the masses from the democratization of technologies is sound and video remixing. Remixing of old school tracks by DJs, new artists and remixers has given new life to many of our most cherished songs.It was just a matter of time before brand marketers sat up and listened, such as Mercedes-Benz UK and its Sound With Power campaign, which demonstrates the power of the new E63 AMG engine by tapping into consumers' penchant for audio/video remixing.

Direct-Mail Campaign Shines Light On Hidden Bank Fees
by Amy Corr on Oct 28, 4:25 PM
When saving for one's retirement, every little bit helps. Sometimes retirement plan providers plant their fees inside the 401k plans they are creating, which can come as a costly surprise to consumers. Not to mention, it means consumers earns less on their investment than expected. West Coast-based First Western Trust decided to expose this hidden business with a direct-mail piece that uses a black light to unearth fees written in invisible ink.

Sniff 'N Smack: LG Mobile Banners Sniff Out And Talk Performance Smack To Your Current Smartphone
by on Oct 21, 4:24 PM
It's great to discover more and more brand marketers beginning to leverage addressable or smart advertising: the ability to serve customized messages to different audiences at different times in different locations. It really isn't that hard, and it's actually something that's been around for quite a while. It's just that most upper-funnel marketers continue to prefer pushing their awareness message to as many eyeballs as possible while leaving the more challenging "activation" work to their lower-funnel digerati to wrestle with, in a world of dismal CTRs.

'Time Out Shanghai' Campaign: Finding Lost Phone -- And Adventure
by Amy Corr on Oct 14, 3:26 PM
Back in the old days, before cell phones existed, it was a common event for someone to misplace his or her wallet. Nowadays, you're more likely to hear a story about a friend losing their cell phone than a wallet. So if you see a cell phone on the ground, are you more likely to ignore it and keep walking -- or pick it up and turn it in? This good deed was tested to an extreme degree in Shanghai this summer, when Time Out Shanghai purposely "lost" its cell phone and rewarded the person who found it with an ...

Sprint Cinema Campaign Is A Complete Turnoff
by on Oct 7, 12:59 PM
Most in-cinema advertising features lavishly produced trailer-like spots that attempt to match the production values and epic sound and picture quality of the movies they precede. As movie trailers have become louder, attempting to cram as many 10-frame shots from the feature into them as possible, the corresponding ads have followed suit - including attempts to drive tune-in to unscripted cable reality shows that end up appearing more like trailer spoofs than ads themselves. Enter SPRINT's "No Talking or Texting during the Movie" campaign - a parallel reality of 3D sequences delivered to your phone when you power up after ...

ChoiceOne thing that stands out about theory in today's archaeology is its incredible diversity. Nowhere is this diversity better treated than in this superbly edited collection that succeeds in doing what no other reference work has so far achieved: readers now have one source for comprehensive, authoritative, and practical discussions of the major theoretical perspectives in contemporary archaeology. The contributors are all well-known and respected experts from both North America and Europe. Following a useful introduction, the remaining 30 chapters are grouped into 5 parts: 'Research Paradigms,' 'Ideas from Neighboring Disciplines,' 'Research Concerns,' 'Contexts of Archaeological Study,' and 'Theory into Practice.' . . . Each chapter ends with a comprehensive bibliography, and the book concludes with a very helpful index. Although advanced undergraduate students will find this volume both useful and challenging, it will be of even greater value to graduate students and experienced scholars. . . . Essential. All academic libraries supporting instruction and research in archaeology.

Wheeler injured taking BP
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Mets scheduled starter Zack Wheeler was scratched from a start Wednesday because of a mild oblique strain sustained while swinging a bat in the cage during pregame workouts.
Wheeler, likely to open the season at Triple-A, had pitched two shutout innings in relief Saturday. He said a muscle on his right side was feeling "a little stiff" but he didn't believe it was anything serious.
"I'd rather be out one start than two months and be behind the eight-ball when I do come back," Wheeler said. "Early in the spring you don't want to risk anything."
Mets manager Terry Collins said Wheeler could have pitched but there was no reason to push him.
Racing sausage gone
CEDARBURG, Wis. — One of the base-running sausages, a familiar sight at Milwaukee Brewers games, is missing.
Someone wearing the Klement's Racing Italian Sausage costume recently posed with bar patrons in Cedarburg, Wis. The 7-foot-long, $3,000 costume was in a backroom at the Milwaukee Curling Club during a Feb. 16 fundraiser. Someone saw the sausage walk out the door that evening and it hasn't been seen since.
The costume is owned by Milwaukee-based sausage company Klement's. The Racing Sausages, including the Bratwurst, the Polish Sausage, the Hot Dog and the Chorizo, are a popular sight running bases at Brewers home games. The costumes are available for rent.
Cedarburg police Detective Jeff Vahsholtz tells the Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/13nWgM4) that police are interviewing bar patrons and looking for the costume.
Berkman set to make his spring debut
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Lance Berkman is set to make his spring training debut for the Texas Rangers on Thursday.
Berkman has been bothered by a mild right calf strain, and the Rangers have been cautious with the 37-year-old switch-hitter. He played only 32 games with St. Louis last season because of two operations on his right knee and a left calf strain.
While being held out of the first six spring games, Berkman has still been going through workouts and some base-running drills. He is scheduled to be the designated hitter Thursday against Cleveland.
Berkman said Wednesday that he feels good and is looking forward to getting into games.
The Rangers say Adrian Beltre is "still progressing well" from his calf strain, though they haven't said yet when he will play.
Weiner skeptical Yanks will cut spending
TAMPA, Fla. — Count union head Michael Weiner among those skeptical of the New York Yankees' stated plan to reduce payroll next year.
Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner says the team wants to get under the $189 million luxury tax threshold in 2014. That means the player payroll would have to be about $178 million at most, using average annual values of contracts, since the total for the tax will include at least $11 million in benefits such as the pension plan.
Says Weiner: "I imagine that Mr. Steinbrenner is sincere when he says that, but like a lot of things, I'll believe it when I see it."
New York has paid $224.6 million in luxury tax since the current system began in 2003, including $19.3 million for 2012.

28 year old woman | Austin, TX, USA | Seeking men 25-33 within 50 miles
Live to share moments, not give up on standards, and be passionate about goals.
I am 25 years old, 5'7, have blonde hair, green eyes, not big, but not bones. I believe in working out and living a healthy life. I want to look like one good lookin' 50 year old when the day comes! I eat and drink organically, but not religiously. I was born and raised in Texas. I've traveled all over the US and plan on travelling as long as I'm capable of doing so, in the US and abroad, and open to the possibility of living in other states and out of the country one day! I've been a Data Analyst for Bloomberg the past few years and learned that sitting behind a computer screen working M-F 8-5 is not what I want in life. One day this past October I woke up, went to work, and was just at my ultimate peek of fed up and finally quit after months of contemplating the day to come with just the money I had in my savings. I finally buckled down, pursued my dream in the real estate market, studied, took my real estate exam and passed the first time (over 80% of people fail the first go around), got a broker to represent me and the financial return has been very rewarding. I currently work at an office that is actually a mansion downtown. It's the best environment and people I could ask for! I quickly learned how cut throat Real Estate is and am only one of two women in the office that can and has been hanging with the boys! I'm a tough cookie when I need to be, but I let that guard down when I leave work. This is to lead to my ultimate passion in flipping homes. My friends say I light up like crazy when I talk about real estate! I have built a house with a home developer before and have helped friends renovate their homes. I also recently took on an interior design job on a condo downtown Austin and I'm helping a coworker with a 'make ready'. I believe I'm an easy going person. Of course all guys think girls are complicated though ;) I am typical in the fact that I like to shop and buy the best health, beauty, and home products. I'm a very organized person. I take pride in maintaing my car. Some guys don't like that I've realized. I don't know what to say, I grew up in the country and learned that along the way. I enjoy cooking various kinds of meals and love going to theme parks. I'm very much a teeth person. I always find enjoyment in activities that I'm doing. The only things I don't like are bad drivers, anything satanic, and people who choose to be ignorant. I absolutely love dogs and just bought a dachshund puppy. His name is Jaxx. If you don't enjoy dogs, then it's not going to work with us. I dig tattoo's as well. I find them sexy as long as they are done nice, but if you don't have one that's equally as fine! I'm looking for a guy with a great attitude, likes to laugh, sarcastic, stable, someone who can show me new things, and needs to have at least some similar interests as I do. Who doesn't take little things or differences too seriously. Someone who knows when to goof off, but on the other hand know when to be serious. I would like a guy who has ambition and goals. A guy who doesn't just sit at home all the time, although I do understand some things warrant a night in. I admit I do slack sometimes in working out and I like it when a man encourages and pushes the limits to work out and actually works out with me. I do like movie nights cuddled up on the couch with a drink. If there's another dog, bonus! I want to find a man that I can appreciate, respect, and look up to when I need him, and to be everything that he is looking for too. If you're not the one, then at least I met another person and possible friend!

Even cotton and syringes are in shortage in OGH, they say
A saline bottle with fungus was found in a hospital wingJunior doctors plan protest against State 'indifference'
HYDERABAD: Junior doctors at Osmania General Hospital (OGH) raised the flag of mutiny on Friday alleging that the hospital management and the State Government were neglecting the acute shortage of basic medical essentials in the hospice and thereby, putting the lives of patients at risk.
Waving a saline bottle with fungus formation in it that was found in the acute medical care wing of the hospital, medicos and house surgeons of the OGH unit of the Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors Association first locked the resident medical officer's room before gathering in front of Hospital Superintendent Girish Narayan's office.
At the `receiving' end
Condemning the severe shortage of simple but crucial necessities like surgical cotton, spirit, syringes and drugs that has been plaguing the hospital for the last 15 days, the medicos said they had been pleading with the management to arrange for stocks.
"Without these, patients will have to suffer and such situations mostly end in their relatives thrashing us. However, the management has not done anything so far," APJUDA OGH unit president Sravan Kumar told The Hindu .
Hospital's version
According to Dr. Kumar, Superintendent Girish Narayan told the medicos that with user charges being withdrawn, the hospital was facing a deficiency of Rs.75 lakhs.
"The Government is not giving me funds. So I cannot do anything," Dr. Narayan reportedly told the agitating students.
"The saline bottle with fungus, which was found in the AMC, could have been administered to a patient and could have had extremely dangerous consequences. In spite of our bringing this to the notice of the management, they are not budging. Even oxygen is in shortage here," Dr. Kumar said.
Bound by promise
The junior doctors, pointing out that they could not launch a strike because of the undertaking given to the High Court, said they would however devise other protest plans shortly if the Government continued its indifference.

Auction Room:
Equivalents. Maris 52; Frossard 2.2; Doughty 20, 65; Hays 3; McGirk 7-A; Ross 2-B; Chapman 3; EAC 2b; Encyclopedia 1651; PCGS #1362.
Variety. Head of '93; the chin is doubled. Blundered N in CENT, first cut inverted. The obverse appears on S-18a, S-18b, S-19a, and S-19b. The reverse appears on S-17a, S-18a, S-18b, and NC-4. Lettered Edge, leaf points up.
Surfaces. Splendid steel-brown surfaces have considerable gloss, faded red luster, sharp details, and a nicely centered impression. This piece ranks among the most desirable Head of '93 cents surviving today. In the 1989 EAC Sale catalog, Bill Noyes graded it MS60 and commented: "choice light brown with much underlying mellow faded red - few brick red spots at ribbons/stems - superb glossy surfaces." He revised the grade downward to AU55 in his 2006 reference, deducting five points from the MS60 sharpness grade, perhaps for the minor reverse spots. Walter Breen explains that prooflike surfaces are sometimes encountered: "Surfaces of high grade survivors are occasionally prooflike, primarily because they were made on the new Taylor and Bailey blanks."
Die State III. The reverse has light clash marks in the leaves near O in ONE. There are faint traces of a die bulge beneath the liberty cap as described for State IV.
Appearances. The obverse and reverse are illustrated Breen's Complete Encyclopedia and in Noyes (2006).
Census. The fourth finest known example of the die variety, and the fourth finest Head of '93 cent. All three Mint State Head of '93 cents, and four of the six known AU coins, are examples of S-18b. This die combination is clearly the most common Head of '93, although all varieties of this type are scarce. Sheldon mentioned this piece in Penny Whimsy: "Oddly, there are at least a half dozen examples of this beautiful cent in near-MS condition, although no one of them stands out for top honors and none of them can be graded quite MS-60. Probably all of these best ones have been sold at one time or another as finest known-and in this instance almost with justice. Some of the famous ones are the French-Clarke, the Cleneay-ANS, the Beckwith-Wurtzbach, the Hall-Brand, and the Hays Phelps coins." At least 10 examples of this variety grade XF or finer.
Commentary. Throughout this catalog, we provide equivalent attribution numbers for each variety, including both popular and obscure references. For the 1794 cents, Maris and Hays numbers were the most widely used references before Sheldon wrote Early American Cents. Even Sheldon had "a certain affection for the Hays numbers."
Sheldon continued: "[S.H.] Chapman renumbered the 1794 cents, and there are a few collectors who have learned and prefer the Chapman numbers. These will also be included here for completeness, but it is my belief that Hays, rather than Chapman, is the man to be remembered for the 1794's. Chapman was not either a particular fancier or a great master of the 1794 cents. He never knew or especially loved the thick lettered edge cents of this date as Hays did, and never made a collection of them. To Hays they were magic talismans to the nostalgic past and to a wistful future. By owning one you established a fraternal bond with both past and future owners. To Chapman they were merchandise and profit."
Taylor and Bailey of London provided plate copper to the Mint, with the first shipment arriving late in 1793 after all the Liberty Cap cents of that year were completed. Apparently all of the S-17 coins and the first of the S-18 coins, with the 1793 edge device, were produced on planchets made from earlier copper, perhaps having the edge device applied in 1793 and saved for the early 1794 coinage. The Taylor and Bailey copper was clearly finer in quality, and produced a number of exceptional Head of '93 large cents, probably including this piece.
Kent's Directory for the Year 1794 (www.londonancestor.com http://www.londonancestor.com ) records Taylor & Bailey, Ironmongers, at 2 Little Tower Street in London. Individually, William Bailey is listed as a brazier and ironmonger at 272 High Holborn and Thomas Tayler [sic] is listed as an ironmonger at 30 King Street, Cheapside. It appears that Taylor & Bailey also supplied certain domestic products to colonial America. Elizabeth A. Fleming (www.chipstone.org http://www.chipstone.org ) studied the importation of household furnishings into Charleston, South Carolina, during the 1780s. She notes that Taylor & Bailey offered fireplace accoutrements including "firedogs, shovels, and tongs."
Provenance. Dr. George P. French (B. Max Mehl, 1929 FPL), lot 21, $200; T. James Clarke (10/1954); R.E. Naftzger, Jr. (Early American Coppers, 4/1989), lot 20, $36,000; Dr. Allen Bennett.
Personality. Dr. George P. French, born in Rochester, New York, in 1865, was an obstetrician and gynecologist. He graduated from Columbia Medical College in 1888. French is described as a sociable man who often entertained with his poetry. Sheldon gave him the nickname "The Jolly Abortionist." French amassed an extensive collection of large cents, and exhibited pieces from his collection at several ANA conventions. He also participated in the 1914 ANS coinage exhibition. In addition to coins, French collected stamps, clocks, firearms, and other antiques. B. Max Mehl offered most of his large cent collection in a 1929 fixed price list, although United States Coin Company sold part of his collection in 1917 and Henry Chapman sold another part in 1927. Barney Bluestone offered an additional selection of large cents from the French Collection in 1933. Dr. French died at his Rochester home on November 25, 1932. (Variety PCGS# 35513, Base PCGS# 1362)
