Cinetheodolite A cinetheodolite ( a . k . a . " kinetheodolite " ) is a photographic instrument for collection of trajectory data . It can be used to acquire data in the testing of missile s , rocket s , projectile s , aircraft , and fire control system s ; in the ripple firing of rockets , graze action tests , air burst fuze tests , and similar operations . Cinetheodolites provide angular measurements of the line of sight to the vehicle . This permits acquiring accurate position data . Together with timing systems , velocity and acceleration data can be developed from the position measurements . Cinetheodolites can serve as primary sources of position and velocity data to about 30 km slant range . These instruments were developed from a family of optical devices known as theodolite s by the addition of a movie camera , thus adding the ability to track the vehicle in flight and to obtain continuous trajectory data . Introduction . One of the objectives of testing missile and rocket systems is to determine the actual " in - flight " performance of the vehicles themselves . One of the prime requirements for establishing the performance of vehicles in flight is to obtain accurate data which will reveal the position in space and the attitude of the vehicle during its trajectory . The employment of optics at a missile range may become highly significant in obtaining these data , if the atmosphere permits reasonably unobstructed observation , and if , moreover , an all - land test area makes possible optimum siting of instruments for most desirable look angles . Under these conditions , optics in general , and photogrammetry in particular , correlated with other instrumentation systems , can provide effective and accurate data of target trajectory . Description . The cinetheodolite is a combination photo - recording and surveying instrument which tracks and photographs targets ( in flight vehicles , etc . ) at selectable frame rate s . Some cinetheodolites have rate - aided tracking control , whereby an open loop servomechanism in conjunction with operator actuated hand wheels match the angular rates of the tracking axis with the angular rates of the target line of position . Cinetheodolites consist of a stable base and bearing , a vertical gimbal or trunnion carrier which rotates about a vertical axis normal to the plane of the base ; a central drum or housing which contains the system telescopic lenses , plus a camera and film assembly ; a horizontal trunnion shaft on which the central drum is mounted so that it can rise or dip about the horizontal axis ; and the sighting telescopes , which are also mounted on the horizontal trunnion shaft . Manufacturers . Notable cinetheodolite manufacturers include Askania Werke Rathenow ( Germany ) , Rheinmetall Air Defence ( formerly Contraves AG , Switzerland ) , and BELOMO ( Belarus ) .

Aviatik C . I The Aviatik C . I was a World War I observation aircraft which first came into service in April 1915 . It was the successor to the Aviatik B . I and B . II models . The observer sat in front of the pilot in this model which limited the gunner ' s field of fire . However , the opportunity was presented for more aggressive aircrews to take an increased offensive approach in engaging enemy aircraft . The positions of the pilot and gunner were reversed in the C . Ia version . Later models , the C . II and C . III were produced in large numbers and had more powerful engines .

Sandown Castle , Isle of Wight Sandown Castle was built as one of Henry VIII ' s Device Forts at Sandown on the Isle of Wight from 1544 onwards . The Device Forts , also known as Henrician Castles , were built by Henry VIII as a network of coastal defences to defend against the threat of the French and Spanish after his break from the Roman Catholic Church . Although Sandown Castle was never attacked , it was the scene of a desperate battle with French invaders who had landed at Whitecliff Bay and made their way over Culver Down amid heavy skirmishing in 1545 . The French were repulsed . It eroded away and was finally demolished before the present - day town of Sandown was established . Its site is now the Sandham Grounds public park , between Fort Street and Culver Parade , and it is said that its remains are still visible at low tide . For its successors , see Sandown .

Battle of Scary Creek The Battle of Scary Creek was a minor battle fought during the American Civil War across the Kanawha River from present day Nitro in Putnam County , West Virginia on July 17 , 1861 . Background . The battle occurred four months after the beginning of the war and days before the first major battle at Manassas ( Bull Run ) . Union forces under General Jacob Cox began a push up the Kanawha Valley from Ohio . Confederate General Henry A . Wise commanded a few thousand troops stationed near present day St . Albans , WV . Battle . The battle occurred when Colonel John W . Lowe and several Union regiments advanced toward the Confederate camp . Captain George S . Patton , the grandfather of the famous George S . Patton of World War II , commanded the Confederate line behind Scary Creek , several miles from the main Confederate camp . A heated firefight took place in which Captain Patton was wounded , with Captain Albert Gallatin Jenkins taking command . After several Union attempts to charge across the bridge near the mouth of the creek were repulsed , the Federal forces withdrew . Post - Battle Confusion . After the Federal forces began falling back , for some reason , the Confederates thought that fresh Union reinforcements were arriving and the result was a retreat by both sides . The Confederates realized their mistake , however , and returned to the battlefield to claim victory . Aftermath . Despite tactical victory , General Wise , in a highly criticized move , decided to withdraw back up the Kanawha Valley toward the Confederate supply bases in Fayette and Greenbrier Counties . Thus , the victory was hollow for the South . Wise ' s retreat resulted in most of the Kanawha Valley falling into Union hands . Casualties were rather light considering the ferocity of the battle . The Union lost 14 killed , approximately 30 wounded , and several missing . The Confederates lost between 1 - 5 killed , and a half a dozen wounded , including Captain Patton .
Herbert Massey Air Commodore Herbert Martin Massey CBE DSO MC ( 19 January 1898 – c . 1976 ) was a senior officer in the Royal Air Force during World War II . After being captured by the Germans , Massey became the Senior British Officer at Stalag Luft III . Wounded in World War I , he lost half of his leg but was amongst the small band of amputees who remained in the RAF and continued flying . In 1936 , he was wounded again while taking part in operations with No . 6 Squadron RAF in Palestine . However , he was able to make a safe landing and recovered successfully . He was flying aboard Short Stirling N3750 , piloted by Flt Lt N E Winch , during the second of the ' Thousand Bomber ' raids , when it was shot down near the Dutch coast . All of the crew were able to bail out and were taken prisoner . Sent to Stalag Luft III at Sagan , he became Senior British Officer and under his authority plans for a mass escape were instituted .

Fliegerabwehrpanzer 68 Fliegerabwehrpanzer 68 was a Swiss self - propelled anti - aircraft gun which was tested but did not enter service . History and Development . In 1977 , a project of Contraves AG Oerlikon - Buehrle , Eidgenoessische Konstruktionswerkstaette and Siemens was presented for an air defense shield . In 1979 , the construction of two prototypes was decided in collaboration with the K + W Thun . 1979 saw the delivery of the prototypes to the Group on Arms Services . From 1979 to 1980 , the vehicles were subjected to rigorous testing , but the project was cancelled in favor of the Rapier missile . The actual weapon system formed the FlaK - Turm ( " Flak turret " ) , which came from the German Flakpanzer " Gepard " based on the chassis of the Panzer 68 widened by 180 mm . It mainly included the homing radar , tracking radar , the fire control with computers and the twin 35 - mm weapons . The crew consisted of the commander , the gunner and the driver . The target search radar allowed a continuous and reliable air surveillance and Identification friend or foe while in motion . The target tracking radar detected and tracked an assigned air target automatically in lateral and vertical angle and at a distance . The analog computer calculated the deflection angle for the guns , taking account of the daily influences , the continuously measured values Vo and the tilting of the vehicle . The main armament consisted of two 35 - mm guns with ammunition feed and the ammunition boxes . Two vehicles , with the M numbers M0888 and M0889 , were used for testing in troop deployment from 1979 to 1980 . A vehicle is on display at the Tank Museum in Thun .

Gugga Gugga ( also known as Gugga Pir , Gugga Jaharpir , Gugga Chohan , Gugga Rana , Gugga Vir and various others ) was an Indian Hindu warrior - king whom some members of the Chauhan communuity believe to be their ancestor . He has been deified as a snake demigod and is a prominent figure among those who follow the Nāga cult in what is now Rajasthan and since the seventeenth century has been worshipped in the Western Himalayas also , possibly as a consequence of migration there from Rajasthan . He is particularly popular among those engaged in agrarian pursuits , for whom the fear of snakebite is common . Although a Hindu , he has many Muslim devotees and is chiefly considered to be a saint ( " pir " ) who had the power to cure the effects of poison ( " jahar " ) . Although there are references to him in the folklore of Rajasthan , little historical knowledge of Gugga exists other than that he ruled the small kingdom of Dandera , fought against Muslims and was a contemporary of Prithviraj Chauhan . He was reputed to be a disciple of Guru Gorakhnath . He learnt the way of entering and leaving solid earth and was initiated in it by a Muslim Pir . Probably there was some relationship between Jhule Lal the great Pir of Sindh and Gugga Pir . He was a great warrior who was never beaten in war but instead of expanding his territories , Gugga chose to stay content in his kingdom but defended it vigorously when attacked . References .
