Talk:Thumper Truck

message: I rewrote the article (still without references) as it seemed far from how it should be. Can something as specialised, almost esoteric, yet business-driven, as seismic exploration ever get sources fitting Wikipedia's criteria? The articles on such basics as Geophones and Vibroseis are flagged as sourceless.  I jump off the truck to say what it is about and that those orange things are jugs geophones, hoping that whoever wrote the original article may see how something was misunderstood.  Maybe over the few days I'll get round to seeing what I can cut out by letting links do the explaining.--SilasW 19:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:University of Beverly Hills

message: In 1981, I interviewed with this school at their offices in Los Angeles and met with their dean of Business, I took a battery of tests to show my level of competency in all the core subjects required for a business degree in human resource management. I passed all of these tests except economics and was required to study Economics I(libray at University of Calif. Northridge)and take the test again. 
I had 12 credits from a jr college that was transferred.  The school allowed at least 60 Hr credits for work experience in the HR field.  I had to write a thesis which took me two months on setting up an HR department for a manufacturing firm.  After 1 year of study, I was awarded a BS in Personnel Management which states it is accredited by the State of California.  I thought it was a legitimate school helping the working professional get a degree in their field without attending classes. The school had a library and held some classes in their downtown offices. I paid about $3000 in tuition fees.

Talk:HMS Sceptre (1781)

message: "I HAVE to acquaint you, my dearest Friend, of a melancholy event that took place the night of the 5th of November – the loss of the 'Sceptre.' 70 The gale which has lost us this poor old ship was one from the nor'-west, which rarely blows at this season of the year here; the wind was high, to be sure, but it was the heavy sea rolling in from the ocean on the beach which made it impossible for the ship to resist. The 'Sceptre' broke four cables, and five other ships which were lost were equally unfortunate, but their crews were saved. The 'Sceptre' we always understood to be a very crazy old ship, and one that would be broken up on coming home. The spectacle her wreck exhibited was melancholy to a degree; the pieces she was in being by the gale broken into such atoms as seemed fit only for fire wood. Captain Edwards was a mild-mannered and well-esteemed man; he made it a constant rule, which he did not ever depart from after he had the command here, of not sleeping on shore, and to this excellent rule he fell a worthy sacrifice. His son was with him – a fine boy of twelve years of age. His boy has been found, and in his bosom a prayer-book. Many, many more might have been saved than were saved, had they not been bruised in the water by the small pieces of the wreck. The beach was covered with people; fires were kept burning all night, and every assistance afforded that could be given. Mr. Barnard was there. Nothing could surpass the zealous humanity of Colonel Crawford, who loves a good sleep in a good bed as well as most people, but was up the greater part of the night, encouraging his old fellows of the 91st to do their best in saving the floating creatures. Nearly one hundred were saved. That is an honest good regiment, the men almost all infirm, but trusty. Another mutiny has been hatching in the 81st Regiment; again found out by privates in the 91st, and their officers put on their guard. What can be expected from Vinegar Hill boys? I suppose, when General Dundas returns from the war, some of the people concerned in it will be likely to suffer." - Lady Anne Barnard, November 8th, 1799, The Castle, Cape of Good Hope http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/barnard/letters/letters.html   Axxter99 (talk) 10:20, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gravesend {{dn}} 

message: Until today, the infobox listed America's displacement at 170 tons.  No source was given, and the assertion is doubtful, as ships at the time were not measured by displacement (which is mass), but by tonnage calculated by a mathematical formula.  A tonnage figure of 170 is supported by the 1885 book listing the tonnage of entrants in the famous 1851 race (Coffin, p. 13).  Presumably the figure was tons burthen or the Moorsom System, but there were national variations in that measure which may apply here.  The yacht served in both the Confederate and Union navies during the Civil War, and DANFS gives the tonnage for the yacht as 100, 208 Thames Measurement.  The latter measure came into force in 1855, after the Cowes race.  I have removed the displacement field and used the DANFS figures for tonnage.  Kablammo (talk) 15:56, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: , : Thanks for replying; I know catapults were used on other warships that carried aircraft, what I’m querying is whether they were fitted to carriers. I thought the relatively low take-off speeds of the aircraft of he time meant they could make rolling take-offs without using one, and it was only the advent of jets that made them necessary. The MAC carrier article doesn’t mention catapults, and the article there gives the parameters for safe operating as a length of 460 ft and a sped of 15 knots, which, it would seem, was then shaved down (see MV Empire MacAlpine) to 412 ft and 12 knots for the grain-carriers.
