Talk:Philip Hendy

message: In the text of the article, it is stated that Hendy's tenure at the National Gallery was marred by press criticism in 1947 of the radical cleaning policy practised by the Gallery's consultant restorer Helmut Ruhemann.  This narrative is deficient on four counts.  
First, the criticisms came not merely from the press, and not only in 1947, but from eminent art historians  (notably Sir Ernst Gombrich), and were sustained over many years. 
Second, the critics (rather than Hendy or Ruhemann) were vindicated by subsequent research. Podro, Michael: Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich (Proceedings of the British Academy 120 (2003)), pp 186-7, Daley, Michael: How the National Gallery belatedly vindicated the restoration criticisms of Sir Ernst Gombrich (Artwatch, 2011)
Third, much of the cleaning was catastrophic, and has irretrievably ruined great paintings, some of which can now only be properly appreciated by way of photographs taken before cleaning.
Finally, as a consequence of the first three points,  the text of the article conveys a false suggestion that Hendy and the Gallery were unjustly maligned by the press, and no more need be said.   Nothing could be further from the truth. 
I think it would be correct to rewrite the relevant part of the article on Hendy, stating that he presided over, and stoutly defended, a policy of radical cleaning (devised and practised by Ruhemann) which was held at the time to be misguided and has subsequently been discredited.

Talk:Philip Mairet

message: He had a lot to do with Mairet, from the late 1920s onwards. According to VIAF he was William Travers Symons. According to the memoirs of Desmond Hawkins his father was a marine insurance broker: "Travers Symons had a conventional and reasonably affluent career as his natural inheritance", but had Tolstoyan sympathies. From .
A William Travers Symons joined, as an annual subscriber, Lloyd's of London in 1914:  That was with HJ Symons & Co. - who apparently still exist as a company - presumed founder Harry James Symons, full member of Lloyd's from 1886. 
Harry James Symons may well be the father of William Travers Symons. A Harry James Symons, son of Peter Travers Symons of Greenwich, married in 1875 Charlotte Jean Stewart, daughter of Archibald Stewart of the Old Kent Road. Looks like it was registered for Henry James Symons. 
There is a short obituary from 1918 (The Post Magazine and Insurance Monitor, Volume 79), "Mr H J Symons", of Harry James Symons of Lee, elected a member of Lloyd's in 1866 (sic), died at age 67 so born around 1851 meaning some typo there. He was connected to the Colonial Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and also the Standard Fire and Marine Insurance Company of New Zealand.
I'd like to establish (a) that W. Travers Symons in this article did indeed have the parents implied above, and (b) settle whether he was the husband of Margaret Travers Symons, divorce in 1914 per that article. It looks like Harry James Symons had three sons, and at least one daughter.
About all we really know about the husband of Margaret Travers Symons was that he was a sheep farmer in New Zealand.

In the course of the discussion about the renaming of the Philipp Fauth street in Bad Dürkheim, accusations of a NSDAP and SS membership of Philipp Fauth had to be withdrawn, because no evidence could be provided for it (see Bad Dürkheim "Anmerkungen zu Philipp Fauth", 2023, p.40, to be found at dialog.bad-duerkheim.de): in the German Bundesarchiv archiving the 80% complete NSDAP membership register, no reference to an NSDAP membership of Fauth was found.

Talk:APTIS ticket features

message: Does anyone have any idea where the curious three-letter abbreviations for months on APTIS tickets originates? 93.93.133.82 (talk) 15:55, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have a source to hand, but my understanding is that they were adopted as an anti-fraud measure – or at least, to make forgery more obvious to spot.  (Not sure how effective it was!  However I have read of at least one case where a forged season ticket was spotted because of this.)  So having non-intuitive abbreviations was supposed to make it more likely for forgers to make a mistake.  For everybody else's info, the month abbreviations were as follows (non-intuitive in bold): JNR, FBY, MCH, APR, MAY, JUN, JLY, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DMR.  I have recently done some research at The National Archives on the introduction of APTIS, so I'll see if there's anything in any of the hundreds of documents I went through.

message: The article cites the model 62, but links to the Model 48. The Citation given does NOT give any indication that the 48 and 62 are the same.

Talk:Jaguar Mark IX

message: What kind of transmission options did the Mark IX have? --Ragemanchoo (talk) 00:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks as though it had a manual four speed box with the option of overdrive.   A three speed automatic was also available.  That's from German wiki, but it's also consistent with what I'd thought and I can source it from an outside reference book (eg Alle Autos der 50er jahre von Roger Gloor published by Motorbuch Verlag of Stuttgart).   However, I would GUESS that in the US the Mk IX would have been offered with the three speed automatic as standard, POSSIBLY with the four speed manul as a no-cost option:  that's what the market would have xpected, and Jaguar were very focused on export markets - expecially the US - at this time.   I guess if you are in the US you can check this to contemporary copies of Car & Driver or equivalent more easily than I....?

But in 1956 I played the part of that boy in the school play 'Yellow Pieces' in the prescence of Phyliss Bentley at Bolton Brow Secondary School, Sowerby Bridge West Yorrkshire,(Which was part of the West Riding in 1956)The event was reported in the Halifax Courier with a photograph.
