Talk:Surprise (paddle steamer)

message: from http://www.ahc.gov.au/publications/linking-nation/chapter-2.html#shipbuilding
::Sydney's first steam mill had opened as early as 1813, and in 1831 the first steamship arrived in Sydney. This was the 256-ton schooner-rigged paddle wheeler Sophia Jane, which, like all the early steamers, was an auxiliary steamer, using her paddle wheels only when winds were inadequate or contrary. In the same year the William the Fourth was built on a tributary of the Hunter near Newcastle, as Australia's first steamer. These auxiliary steamers were ideal for conditions on the coastal rivers of New South Wales, because they could exploit the wind at sea, but use their (rather inefficient) engines effectively in the close confines of the coastal rivers. Initially this meant the Hawkesbury and, more importantly, the Hunter and its tributaries; and in 1839 Australia's first lasting steamship line, the Hunter River Steam Navigation Company, was established in Sydney. It had three sister ships, all imported iron auxiliary paddle steamers, rejoicing in the names of Rose, Shamrock and Thistle. As its name indicated, most of its trade was with Newcastle, but it also traded to the new and quickly thriving port of Melbourne.

I understand you are a Christian and proud of that. The women's ministry at my church; The Key To My Father's House, is planning to put on a conference on Sept. 25 from 9:00am - 3:00pm. We are interested in your testimonial and your Christian walk in general. Is this something you and your wife participate in? If so, is there a fee? The conference would be at the church which is located in Wadsworth, OH. You can see more about the church on our website; TKTMFH.

message: I highly doubt that it's the first OHC. The more because a DOHC was developed before WWII
:—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 159.134.94.21 (talk • contribs).
---------------------------
Read the listing again! "the first U.S. designed mass-produced overhead cam (OHC) engine". Duesenbergs had overhead cams (the big I-8s), but weren't exactly mass produced. The Kaiser engine was designed to be pumped out in the thousands. Only around 500 model J’s were built in eight years (between 1929 and 1937), and a hand full of SJ and SSJ models. Not mass production! Aircraft engines would have been the same if any OHC models were made IN THE US. There were European OHC engines mass produced well before the Kaiser. I did edit the entry to read "automobile engine" though. It seems the Rolls Royce Merlin and the Allison V-1710 were both OHC designs. Packard built a licensed version of the RR, the Allison was designed in the US.

Talk:DB Class 120

message: AEG got back its Henningsdorf locomitive factory near Berlin. To save the jobs there, the politicians decided to order some class 112 (DR 212) locomotives from there instead. Meanwhile, the German locomotive industrie developed and tested the class 127 (Siemens) and class 128 (AEG) prototypes. ABB Henschel had no prototype machine in its own, they used a class 120 platform/chassis with upgraded electrical interior. The plans to finalize this development to the once planned successor of class 120, the universal class 121, were stopped by the privatization of the German railroads.
During the second half of the 1990s, the problem of a shortage of fast locomotives became urgent. In the end, ABB Henschel was comissioned to develop class 101 as successor for class 103, the iconical intercity class. AEG and Siemens were comissioned to develop the classes 145 and 152 for freight train usage later on.
Since the order of class 101 was done first and made shortly after the privatization, it was still done with a future freight train usage in mind. According to the specifications, class 101 locomotives should be able to run future Inter Cargo Express trains, which never came in the end. The machines were always hauling intercity services. But since they were developed with that kind of (reduced) universal approach, the can be seen as successor of class 120. 2001:16B8:B5E3:B200:11C4:8C97:E7AA:6736 (talk) 00:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

message: I don't think that Mike Henry was on General Hospital in its first year, 1963, when he was still an active pro football player.  I think that his character of "Rudolpho" was only on the program far later (probably in the year given after the mistaken, I think, listing of his being on it in 1963), the confusion seeming to arise from the fact that the program's beginning year somehow became the year imputed to his appearance, which was almost certainly far later.  But unfortunately, I don't have a reliable source which proves this right now so I'm not going to change it, but thought that it should be noted. 2600:1004:B103:780:71B0:EA5B:FBDC:29A2 (talk) 02:54, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
