It is approximately 30 miles south of Charlotte , North Carolina and approximately 60 miles North of Greenville , South Carolina . Kings Mountain can be seen from I - 85 North for many miles . Historic trail . A one and a half mile paved trail leads from the visitors ' center around the base of the mountain along the Patriot lines and ascends to the crest where the Loyalists were positioned . The trail passes several monuments , large and small , the earliest dating from 1815 , as well as Patrick Ferguson ' s grave , giving a good sense of the battleground . The trail is moderately steep in places . As part of the NPS ' Centennial Initiative , the trail will be rehabilitated to eliminate the steeper sections of the trail , making it accessible to everyone .

Special Investigation Branch The Special Investigation Branch ( SIB ) is the name given to the detective branches of all three British military police arms : the Royal Navy Police , Royal Military Police and Royal Air Force Police . It is most closely associated with the Royal Military Police , which has the largest SIB . SIB members usually operate in plain clothes , although they may wear uniform when serving overseas . Members are usually senior non - commissioned officer s ( sergeant s or petty officer s or above ) or commissioned officer s , although the Royal Air Force SIB also employs corporal s . Royal Military Police SIB . Although an SIB appears to have existed in the British Army of the Rhine in Germany between 1919 and 1926 , the origins of the army ' s SIB are really in 1940 , when twenty Scotland Yard detectives were enlisted in the Corps of Military Police to deal with the pilfering of military stores within the British Expeditionary Force ( BEF ) in France . The unit was formed on the recommendations of Detective Chief Inspector George Hatherill ( who later went on to investigate the serial killers John Reginald Christie and John George Haigh , and the Great Train Robbery ) and command was given to Detective Superintendent Clarence Campion , head of Scotland Yard ' s Criminal Record Office , who was commissioned as a Major . Campion was hit in the head by shrapnel during the Dunkirk evacuation and died on 20 May 1940 , the only SIB casualty of the BEF . After this beginning , the SIB was established on a full - time basis . The RMP SIB now consists of about two hundred personnel , including Scenes of Crime Officer s and forensic technicians . It is divided into numbered units called Sections ( for instance , 33 Section SIB RMP ) , which are subdivided into Detachments , each usually commanded by a Warrant Officer Class 2 . There is a section or detachment on most major British Army station s . There is also a Territorial Army section , made up entirely of people who are CID officers in civilian police forces during their everyday lives . The Headquarters SIB RMP is at Campion Lines in Bulford , Wiltshire . Within the RMP , SIB is known as " the Branch " or more commonly " the Feds " The SIB was recently subject to an inspection by Her Majesty ' s Inspectorate of Constabulary ( HMIC ) . The Armed Forces Bill 2006 seeks to require the SIB to refer investigations into inherently serious crimes directly to the Service Prosecuting Authority ( SPA ) rather than to commanding officers . Royal Air Force Police SIB . The SIB of the Royal Air Force had the distinction of being the only branch - specific investigative unit entrusted with a major war crime when five officers and fourteen NCOs were given the assignment of investigating the Stalag Luft III murders immediately following the Second World War .
Type 85 / YW 306 The Type 85 / YW 306 ( Type 85 twin 23 mm AAA , 85式23毫米双管高射炮 ) is a 23 mm artillery gun used by the People ' s Liberation Army of China . It is a copied version of the Soviet ZU - 23 - 2 . WZ554 . Self - propelled antiaircraft artillery ( AAA ) developed from Type 85 AAA . This is a Type 85 AAA installed in an enclosed turret mounted on a Type 90 APC . Only a limited number entered service . SG ADS . Shengong ( Deity ' s Bow , 神弓 ) Air Defense System ( SG ADS ) is a modernized Type 85 twin 23 mm AAA system , first revealed to Chinese public in 2005 . This is an integrated air defense system consisted of 8 towed Type 85 twin 23 mm AAA , and a command vehicle . The command vehicle is based on Iron Horse ( Tiema 铁马 ) truck , and houses a more complicated electro - optical fire control system that includes IR , laser & TV subsystem , and a weapon system operator who handles these equipment , while each of the towed guns are also controlled locally by an optical sight . With water - cooled barrels , the actual rate of fire exceeds 800 round per minute per barrel , but the standard system is usually consisted of air - cooled barrels for weight reduction , resulting in decreased rate of fire . Two types of ammo are standard and both have the same weight : 0 . 45 kg , other types of ammo are also available upon customer ' s request . Each command vehicle can command an AAA company consisted of 8 guns , but each individual gun can also fight independently . Specifications : References . Type 85 twin 23 mm AAA

7 . 62×45mm vz . 52 The 7 . 62×45mm vz . 52 cartridge is fired by the Czech vz . 52 rifle , vz . 52 and ZB - 530 light machine gun . The round was later dropped from use when the Czech converted to the standard Warsaw Pact round , the 7 . 62×39mm ( fired by vz . 52 / 57 rifle and vz . 52 / 57 light machine gun ) . Its ballistics and energy are slightly higher than that of the 7 . 62×39mm M43 cartridge . Dimensions . There are definite differences in reported dimensions for this cartridge . Some of this may be accounted for by small errors in conversion from metric to inches , while others such as loaded length may additionally be attributed to different lengths of bullets being measured in loaded rounds . A sample list of various measurements is in the table below .

Seibel S - 4 The Seibel S - 4 was a two - bladed , single - engine helicopter built by Seibel Helicopter . Designed by Charles Seibel , the S - 4 was evaluated by the United States Army under the designation " YH - 24 Sky Hawk " , but would be rejected for service . The S - 4B would serve as the basis for the design of the Cessna CH - 1 Skyhook , the only helicopter Cessna ever produced . Development . Charles Seibel began development on the S - 4 after forming the Seibel Helicopter Company with funding from local Kansas oil investors . The S - 4 was a continuation of his work on his previous design , the Seibel S - 3 , which he flew as a demonstrator for his design concepts ; primarily a new design for a two - bladed rotor system and a simplified transmission . These features would also be incorporated into the S - 4 design . In January 1949 , the S - 4 lifted off the ground for the first time , piloted by Johnny Gibbs . In March 1950 , certification tests were completed and on 23 April 1950 , the S - 4 received civil certification by the CAA . A larger engine , the Lycoming O - 290B with 125 hp , would be installed in the aircraft , making it the S - 4A . Based on feedback from the Army during the evaluation , Seibel , shortened the fuselage of the second YH - 24 ( 51 - 5113 ) and widened the cockpit for a co - pilot ' s seat next to the pilot ' s seat . Seibel also replaced that aircraft ' s original wheeled , tricycle undercarriage with landing skids . This aircraft would become the S - 4B . Design . The S - 4 frame was a welded steel - tube box frame , with two decks . A lower deck supported the control panel , pilot ' s seat , wheeled , tricycle landing gear , and a small passenger / cargo area accessible from the rear , and an upper deck carried the engine , the fuel and oil tanks , and supported the transmission and rotor assembly . A tapered , monocoque , alloy tail boom with a two - bladed antitorque tail rotor was attached at the rear of the upper deck . Operational history . Both the U . S . Army and U . S . Air Force showed interest in the S - 4 . In early 1951 , the U . S . Army ordered two examples for operational and engineering evaluation in the observation , utility , and aeromedical evacuation roles . The Army designated the S - 4 as the " YH - 24 Sky Hawk " . The first Sky Hawk , serial number 51 - 5112 , was delivered to Fort Bragg , North Carolina in April 1951 ; the second YH - 24 , serial number 51 - 5113 , was delivered to Wright Field . Despite the simplicity of the S - 4 , the Army determined that it did not provide a sufficient payload capability and the aircraft were dropped from the inventory and returned to Seibel in 1952 .
