Normally , the AWMs are outfitted with a Schmidt & Bender PM II 10×42 / MILITARY MK II 10×42 telescopic sight with 10× fixed power of magnification . However , a Schmidt & Bender PM II / MILITARY MK II with variable magnification of either 3 – 12×50 , 4 – 16×50 or 5 – 25×56 can be used if the operator wants more flexibility to shoot at varying ranges , or when a wide field of view is required .

However , 1 , 000 natives allied to the Portuguese were at the base of it , preventing the Dutch from seizing it . Coine sent four companies of Fusilier s after it , but they were completely destroyed . A second Dutch detachment that attacked the other side fared better , causing the native to go into a rout . The Portuguese and their native allies made two attempts to take back the position , but both failed . After the second failed attack , the Portuguese fell back into their redoubt at the summit of the hill . The redoubt was protected by a wooden wall on one side , and a river on the other . Coine decided to ford the river to allow a mortar and two cannon to fire upon the fort . After bombarding the fort for two more days , he demanded the garrison in the castle to surrender . The Portuguese governor requested a three - day truce , but Coine refused as he only had provisions for one more day . He brought more of his forces to St . Jago and continued to bombard the fort . The bombardment was ineffective , and by the next morning Coine realized that he would have to either have to attack the fort that day or abandon the attempt . He dispatched a group of Grenadier s up the hill , but before they could attack a chamade was sounded and two messengers were sent out by the Portuguese to negotiate a surrender . The surrender allowed the Governor , the Garrison , and all Portuguese citizens to leave , without swords or any other weapons , on a boat to the island of St . Thomas .

The company ' s first aircraft was a primary training aircraft called the " Red Dragonfly " . In 1936 , the Imperial Japanese Army acquired a controlling interest in the company , and renamed it the Tachikawa Aircraft Company Ltd . The company manufactured a number of types , mostly training aircraft and fighters for the Imperial Japanese Army . Some were its own designs placed into full production , such as the Ki - 9 and Ki - 36 . A number of others were either short - run specials , or prototypes that did not enter production . Of note was the Ki - 77 , and experimental long range aircraft that set a record by flying directly from Tokyo to New York . In 1940 , the company received license - production rights to the Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra which it produced as the " Army Type LO " transport . Tachikawa also produced aircraft designed by other Japanese manufacturers , including the famed Mitsubishi Zero fighter . As with all Japanese manufacturers , production of all types ceased after the surrender of Japan to Allied forces in August 1945 . The facilities of Tachikawa Aircraft has been severely damaged by bombing during the war , and most of its property , including its airfield , were seized by the American military and become part of the Tachikawa Air Base . Many of its engineers went to work for Nissan and Toyota , helping develop the technologies of the Japanese automobile industry . The Prince Motor Company ( later acquired by Nissan ) was a direct spin - out from the former Tachikawa Aircraft Company . New Tachikawa Aircraft Company . During the occupation of Japan after the end of World War II , all of Japan ' s aerospace industry was dismantled , designs destroyed and plants converted to other uses . After the ban on aircraft development was lifted , in November 1949 , Tachikawa Aircraft as reconstituted as the . Shin Tachikawa built prototype training aircraft , the R - 52 and R - 53 in the early 1950s . The R - 52 was the first post - war , all - Japanese aircraft constructed . However , neither aircraft were commercially successful and the company survived by making precision components for aircraft , and for non - aircraft related industries . In 1955 , the company name was changed to to emphasize its lack of involvement with the aviation industry . Since 1976 , after the return of a large amount of land occupied by the United States Air Force since the end of World War II , the company turned towards real estate development , consumer electronics , and the production of automotive parts .
Al - Sari ibn al - Hakam Al - Sari ibn al - Hakam ibn Yusuf al - Balkhi ( died November 820 ) served twice as the Abbasid Caliphate ' s governor of Egypt . Of Khurasani origin , according to al - Kindi he was originally an unimportant member of the so - called " abna ’ al - dawla " , the Khurasani troops that formed the mainstay of the Abbasid regime . He came to Egypt in 799 in the retinue of al - Layth ibn al - Fadl , and soon rose to a position of influence within the local " abna ’ " . The early years of the 9th century were a time of turmoil for Egypt , where the old - established elites of the original Arab settlers of Fustat losing power to the " abna ’ " and their rivals , the Yemeni tribes of northern Egypt , grouped around Abd al - Aziz ibn al - Wazir al - Jarawi . Taking advantage of the collapse of Abbasid central authority due to the civil war between al - Amin and al - Ma ' mun , Abd al - Aziz and al - Sari , with their respective factions , engaged in a vicious struggle for control of the province that by 813 had effectively divided Egypt between them , with the Yemenis holding the north and al - Sari Fustat and the south . His first tenure as governor of Egypt was short , lasting from April to September 816 , but he was reappointed to the post in March 817 and held it until his death in November 820 . He was succeeded by his sons as nominal governors of the province . The north remained under Abd al - Aziz ' s son Ali ( Abd al - Aziz also died in 820 ) , and a first Abbasid attempt at recovering control over the province by sending Khalid ibn Yazid al - Shaybani in 822 was thwarted . Al - Sari ' s son Ubayd Allah ruled as governor until mid - 826 , when Abdallah ibn Tahir was named governor of Egypt and re - established Abbasid authority . According to the Islamic scholar Thierry Bianquis , the succession of al - Sari by his sons signals the first attempt at creating an autonomous dynasty ruling Egypt , heralding the more successful Tulunids and Ikhshidids .
