Talk:Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company

message: Andy,
You refer to the carriage made for the Argentine President in 1910.
I see where this is included in John Hypher's book.
But I just wondered where you found the info that the carriage still exists and was once used by Eva Peron.
Thanks if you can help with this.

replies: text: Not my edit, and I don't have the book. If still in service in the '50s, it's no stretch to suggest that it was used by Eva Peron and there's probably news coverage of her touring in it (she was no shrinking violet for such things). As to it existing today, then that's likely to be some major national museum collection (either railways or Peronist) and they're probably on line, albeit in Spanish.

They played a major part in the development of the Cromwell tank / Meteor engine, which was a pivotal point in the evolution if tank design.

Talk:Nondispersive infrared sensor

message: The subject seems notable to me, judging e.g. by Google. However sources are completely missing and need to be added. Will also link this article with CO2 sensor, it is orphaned right now. Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 17:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  notability established 

message: I wonder if naming the detection as "non-dispersive" is related to the means of spectral selection, that is, by a narrow-band interference filter, instead of by using a dispersive element such as a prism (or a diffractive element such as a grating). What the head says is, "since the infrared energy is allowed to pass through the atmospheric sampling chamber without deformation". I think that "deformation" is not a term frequently encountered in optical discussions. I think, at the least, the subject of "infrared energy deformation" needs to be expanded on. --AJim (talk) 03:43, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: As of two weeks ago, the Fairfield / Park Lane end was still standing and those businesses still in existence were continuing to trade (albeit in rather a reduced manner). The My London article you linked to (although 2 years old now) does say one half has been demolished meaning the western or High St. end and the image is of what remains of that end as you can see the older architecture in the background. It seems possible that work on the eastern (Fairfield) side may be connected with the redevelopment of the Nestle Tower. However, I shall be passing fairly close by in the next few days and will check on any developments. Eagleash (talk) 22:08, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:1977 Birmingham Stechford by-election

message: I am not sure it is fair to say that "MacKay would go on to enjoy a long parliamentary career representing a number of constituencies" A number would to be imply 3 or 4 after he lost Stechford. In fact he was MP for East Berkshire 1983-1997. In the latter year the seat was abolished and replaced by Bracknell, which Mackay represented until he left parliament in 2010. So in fact he basically sat for one seat (albeit with a name change) after Stetchford.  I think it would be better to say at "MacKay would go on to enjoy a long parliamentary career as MP for East Berkshire  (later Bracknell)", but would welcome other's opinions on this.

thread_title: Etymology

message: Currently the lede reads
:The ten Celestial Stems (Chinese: 天干; pinyin: tiāngān), sometimes known as Heavenly Stems

If there is some scholarly consensus towards using "Celestial" as a term of art here, despite its less common usage, someone should note it here or on the page. Otherwise, we should probably move it to the 20* more common translation of the term. -LlywelynII (talk) 04:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
