Docter Optics Docter Optics is a German manufacturer of sports optics , including binoculars , rifle scope s , spotting scope s , red dot sight s , flashlights and reading glasses . Its headquarters are in Eisfeld , Germany , where most of the products are developed and manufactured . Docter is part of the Analytik Jena Group . History . The company grew out of binocular production by the forerunner of Carl Zeiss AG before World War Two . In 1952 a part of the company VEB Carl Zeiss Jena was established in Eisfeld in what was then East Germany . Starting from tasks as supplier of parts and pre - assembling products for the Zeiss factories in Jena the company continuously developed over the following years to become a producer of precision - engineered optical consumer goods and industrial products . Besides that VEB Carl Zeiss Jena produced military optics for the armed forces of the German Democratic Republic ( GDR ) like the NVA DF 7x40 and NVA EDF 7x40 roof prism binoculars . A year after the German reunification , the Eisfeld plant of the Jenoptik Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH , which employed 550 staff , was taken over by Bernhard Docter , who lent his name to the company and products . The company now traded under the name Docter - Optic - Eisfeld GmbH and continued with the production of binoculars , riflescopes , spotting scopes , magnifying glasses and opto - electronic measurement equipment . The company Docter - Optic in Wetzlar declared bankruptcy for the whole business on 15 November 1995 . On 1 May 1997 a part of the business with 40 staff was continued by Analytik Jena GmbH , to which traditionally good relations existed . Already the first year after the takeover was completed with very good turnover and results . In 2006 Docter employed 100 staff .

Brandon Castle Brandon Castle was sited overlooking the River Avon between the virtually adjacent villages of Brandon and Wolston in Warwickshire which in turn lie between the towns of Rugby and Coventry ( ) . It was originally a 12th - century earthwork motte and bailey fortress founded by Geoffrey de Clinton . Around 1226 the de Verdon family founded the stone castle consisting of the keep and a large outer enclosure . It is said to have been ' pulled down ' by the baronial troops from Kenilworth Castle in 1265 because John de Verdon was an active supporter of the king . Only low earthworks and some masonry are now visible .
John Pollard ( Royal Navy officer ) John Pollard ( 1787 - 1868 ) was an English born Royal Navy officer who served with Admiral Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar . Pollard is credited with being the man who killed the Frenchman who shot Nelson . In 1805 , at the age of 18 , Pollard was serving as a midshipman on the HMS Victory , when it became entangled with the French ship Redoutable . Snipers from the Redoutable opened fire and wounded Nelson , who later died . During the battle , Pollard was stationed on the poop deck , where he was acting as a signaller , along with a quarter - master possibly called John King . At some point during the fight Pollard was joined by fellow midshipman Francis Edward Collingwood who had come up from the Quarter - deck . Both men returned fire on the French ship and were supplied by the third man . At this point the story differs as to the exact turn of events . According to author Robert Southey both Pollard and Collingwood fired at the same time killing a Frenchman , who had been identified by the quarter - master as having shot Nelson . The man fell into the mizzen - top and when they recovered him , he was found to have been shot in the head and chest . Pollard , in an 1863 letter to The Times , stated that Collingwood had left the poop deck prior to the death of the French sniper . Ships surgeon Sir William Beatty , writing in a December 1805 edition of the " Gibraltar Chronicle " , stated that there were two men in the mizzen - top , one of whom was killed by a musket - ball and the other by Pollard . Pollard was later brought before Sir Thomas Hardy and congratulated as having been the man to avenge Nelson ' s death . Pollard was promoted to lieutenant in 1806 and continued to serve in the Royal Navy . He did not advance in rank beyond that and was later to join the Irish Coastguard . In 1852 , at the age of 65 , he obtained an officers position at the Greenwich Hospital , where he stayed until his death at the age of 81 in 1868 . He was buried with the rank of Commander but the grave was later moved and the exact site can ' t be pinpointed . Pollard was married in 1822 and had six children . An 1826 book posing to be the autobiography of a French Sergeant Robert Guillemard contains the claim that it was he who shot Nelson . This claim is to this day believed and frequently repeated , although in October 1830 J . A . Lardier admitted in a letter to the editor of the " Annales Maritimes " that it was he who wrote the book , and that Guillemard is a fictitious character .
Daniel D . Stevens Daniel Dickinson Stevens ( December 19 , 1839 – November 7 , 1916 ) was a United States Navy sailor during the American Civil War who received America ' s highest military decoration the Medal of Honor for his actions at the Second Battle of Fort Fisher Biography . In mid - January 1865 , Stevens was serving as a quartermaster on the when the ship took part in the bombardment of Fort Fisher , North Carolina . For his conduct during this action , he was awarded the Medal of Honor . Before leaving the Navy , Stevens reached the rank of Chief Quartermaster . He died at age 76 and was buried in Walnut Grove Cemetery , Danvers , Massachusetts . Medal of Honor citation . Rank and Organization : Citation : On board the U . S . S . " Canonicus " during attacks on Fort Fisher , on January 13 , 1865 . As the " Canonicus " moved into position at 700 yards from shore , the enemy troops soon obtained her range and opened with heavy artillery fire , subjecting her to several hits and near misses until late in the afternoon when the heavier ships coming into line drove them into their bombproofs . Twice during the battle , in which his ship sustained 36 hits , the flag was shot away and gallantly replaced by Stevens .
Treaty of Apamea The Treaty of Apamea of 188 BC , was peace treaty between the Roman Republic and Antiochus III ( the Great ) , ruler of the Seleucid Empire . It took place after the Romans ' victories in the battle of Thermopylae ( in 191 BC ) , in the Battle of Magnesia ( in 190 ) , and after Roman and Rhodian naval victories over the Seleucid navy . In this treaty , according to Appian , Antiochus III must abandon Europe altogether and all of Asia west of the Taurus , he had to surrender all the elephants he had , and he should have only twelve war - ships for the purpose of keeping his subjects under control , but he might have more if he were attacked . He should not recruit mercenaries from Roman territory nor entertain fugitives from the same . Antiochus had to give twenty hostages , whom the consul would select , the hostages should be changed every third year , except the son of Antiochus . For the future , he keeps no elephants and pay for the cost of the present war , incurred on his account , 500 Euboic talents down and 2 , 500 more when the Senate ratifies the treaty ; and 12 , 000 more during twelve years , each yearly installment to be delivered in Rome . He shall also surrender to us all prisoners and deserters , and to Eumenes whatever remains of the possessions he acquired by his agreement with Attalus , the father of Eumenes . If Antiochus accepts these conditions without guile we will grant him peace and friendship subject to the Senate ' s ratification . Rome gave the control of a large part of Anatolia to Pergamum , the Roman ally in the battles and ruled by the Attalids . Antiochus kept the Pamphylia and Cilicia regions in Anatolia . Hellenistic kings generally accepted , for their own lifetimes , any treaty they had signed , on the grounds of honour . On the other hand their heirs did not feel honour bound to accept treaties signed by their predecessors . The naval conditions of this treaty appear to have fallen into abeyance but the other conditions held . The treaty was formalized at Apamea in Phrygia . It allowed the Romans to expand their political hegemony to the East Mediterranean Sea . But at this time Roman power was still indirect . Rome depended on its capacity to ally itself to second rank powers .
Ruhr Red Army Red Ruhr Army was an army of between 50 , 000 and 80 , 000 left wing workers from the Communist Party of Germany , the Communist Workers ' Party of Germany , the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany , and the Free Workers Union of Germany , formed in the Ruhr Valley on 13 March 13 , 1920 as a reaction to the Kapp Putsch , the richest industrial area of Germany . After calling a general strike on 14 March the Red Ruhr Army defeated the Freikorps and regular army units in the area and started the biggest armed workers ' uprising in Germany , also called " Märzrevolution " ( March Revolution ) and Ruhr Uprising ( " Ruhraufstand " ) . While the middle and upper class es feared a left wing putsch , 300 , 000 mine workers supported the Ruhr Red Army . The strikers conquered Düsseldorf , Elberfeld , Essen and soon had control over the whole Ruhr area . After the failure of negotiations with the strikers the government sent more troops into the Ruhr area on 2 April 1920 , which caused civil - war like circumstances . These government troops consisted largely of regulars , but also of Freikorps paramilitary soldiers , who finally defeated the workers ' uprising and reconquered the Ruhr area . While the Free Corps lost only 250 men , the Red Ruhr Army lost over a thousand during the bitter fights . On 12 April Reichswehr General Oskar von Watter banned any illegal behaviour on the part of his troops , which put an end to all battles and fights in the Ruhr area . Between 1919 and 1922 there were 35 , 600 political murders in Germany .
Berliner - Joyce P - 16 The Berliner - Joyce P - 16 ( P = Pursuit ) was a 1930s United States two - seat fighter aircraft produced by Berliner - Joyce Aircraft Corporation . Design and development . The Berliner - Joyce Aircraft Corporation was established in February 1929 when it acquired the assets of the Berliner Aircraft Company . The new company had intended to develop the Berliner Monoplane but became involved in designing a two - seat fighter for the United States Army Air Corps . The prototype ( designated the Berliner - Joyce XP - 16 ) first flew in October 1929 . It had a metal structure with a fabric covering . It was a single - bay biplane of unequal span , with the wings forward - staggered . The lower wing was smaller than the upper and was mounted at the base of the fuselage . The upper wing was of gull wing configuration . An observer / gunner was located behind the pilot . The aircraft was powered by a 600 hp ( 447 kW ) Curtiss V - 1570 Conqueror supercharged inline engine . After evaluation by the USAAC two contracts were awarded for a total of 25 aircraft as YP - 16s ( the first 15 were considered preproduction ) . The main difference with the production aircraft was the use of an unsupercharged version of the Conqueror engine , and a three - bladed propeller . Operational history . During 1931 , the USAAC ordered the Berliner - Joyce YP - 16 which had the distinction of being the last biplane fighter to enter service with the USAAC . In addition , the P - 16 remained the only two - seat biplane fighter to be produced for the army after 1918 . Delivered in 1932 as the " Y1P - 16 " primarily equipping the 94th Pursuit Squadron , the production aircraft were later re - designated PB - 1 ( pursuit - biplace , an awkward name for the class of aircraft and only applied to one other type ) . Without the prototype ' s supercharger , performance at altitude was appreciably reduced although the aircraft had a greater endurance than contemporary single - seat pursuits . Despite the gull - wing , pilots had poor visibility over the nose which contributed to service pilots having a propensity to nose - over on landing . All Berliner - Joyce PB - 1s were withdrawn from active service in 1934 , although a small number of aircraft continued in second line duties until 1940 . The XF2J - 1 suffered from the same faults as the P - 16 , resulting in an unfavourable service trial of the one prototype , which had appeared two years late due to a protracted development phase , exacerbated by financial difficulties that eventually led to the demise of the company The poor visibility over the nose and the landing characteristics doomed the XF2J - 1 , especially in light of the availability of the superior Grumman FF - 1 .
Components of medieval armour This table identifies various pieces of armour worn from the medieval to Early Modern period in the West , mostly plate but some mail , arranged by the part of body that is protected and roughly by date . No attempt has been made to identify fastening components or various appendages such as lancerests or plumeholders or clothing such as tabard s or surcoat s which were often worn over a harness . There are a variety of alternative names and spellings ( such as cowter / couter or bassinet / bascinet / basinet or besagew / besague ) which often reflect a word introduced from the French . Generally , the English spelling has been preferred ( including " mail " instead of the lately used " maille " or the inauthentic term " chainmail " ) . Japanese Analogues . The following components of Japanese armour roughly match the position and function of certain components of occidental armour :

In peacetime before and after the war she carried fruit and passengers ; in war she supplied troops and ships in the field . She was the US Navy ' s second USS " Merak " . Building and pre - war service . Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation of Quincy , Massachusetts built the ship as SS " Veragua " for United Fruit Company in 1932 . She was one of six UFC sister ships driven by turbo - electric transmission . United Fruit placed " Veragua " on express liner services between Central America and New York . US Navy service . The US Navy bareboat chartered her through the Maritime Commission on 20 March 1942 . Todd Pacific Shipyards of Galveston , Texas converted her for Navy use and she was renamed " Merak " and commissioned on 8 May 1942 , commanded by Cmdr L . E . Divoll . North Atlantic duties . Shakedown training began on her maiden Navy voyage to Charleston , South Carolina . By 20 March 1943 she completed 10 voyages in convoy from east coast ports to Caribbean islands . She then made one supply voyage to Reykjavík , Iceland , arriving on 10 April . She then made two short deliveries to Cuba before making her first transatlantic crossing in July , delivering men , mail , and stores in Algeria , North Africa . Between further Caribbean trips , " Merak " voyaged to both Sicily and Scotland before the end of 1943 . She continued Caribbean sailings and transatlantic voyages until February 1945 , including four crossings from Bayonne , New Jersey , to Italian ports . After a brief drydocking she supplied ships and bases from Iceland to Trinidad . On her last voyage to Reykjavík , on 14 July 1946 a blizzard blew her ashore while anchored at Argentia , Newfoundland . She was freed by tugs and completed her voyage . She then made two more trips to San Juan , Puerto Rico , and Trinidad before being released by the Navy . On 21 June 1946 " Merak " was decommissioned at New York and returned to United Fruit , which reinstated her pre - war name " Veragua " . Military awards and honors . Merak ’ s crew were awarded the following medals : Post - war civilian service . In 1958 United Fruit transferred " Veragua " and her sisters " Quirigua " and to its British subsidiary Elders and Fyffes , which changed " Veragua " s name to SS " Sinaloa " . She was scrapped in Ghent , Belgium in 1965 .
