Tactical Supply Wing RAF. The Tactical Supply Wing (TSW) is a helicopter support unit of the Royal Air Force, based at MOD Stafford (also known as Beacon Barracks) in Staffordshire. The wing specialises in the refuelling of helicopters in the field.

History 
The Tactical Supply Wing concept was devised by Group Captain Craven-Griffiths, who developed the idea during his time at the Ministry of Defence in London during the late 1960s. Griffiths and colleagues spent many hours discussing the concept in The Old Shades public house, located on Whitehall. Ever since, the Old Shades has been considered as the birthplace of the TSW.

The TSW, nicknamed "Tiswas" (a word meaning "a state of nervous agitation or confusion ... physical disorder or chaos", attested from 1960 by the OED), was formed at RAF Stafford in late 1970 and became operational in January 1971.
TSW was sent on its first operational deployment to Northern Ireland in 1971. Elements of TSW have deployed around the world to support British and NATO helicopter units in most major exercises and conflicts since it was formed.

Role and operations 
TSW's primary role is supporting the deployment of helicopter operations, specialising in providing rotors-turning refuelling to helicopters and field refuelling of fixed-wing aircraft; this can done from the back of a transport aircraft, or deploy-able storage facilities, such as bowsers or pillow tanks, often in the field or at austere temporary sites.

The unit is still at Stafford, but the base is now called Beacon Barracks. It also houses 22 Signal Regiment and 16 Signal Regiment.

Heritage 
The wing's badge, awarded in March 1992, features a Peregrine falcon in a flying position, against a background of a three-arched bridge and a body of water. The aggressive falcon with its wings fully extended resonates with a “Supply Wing” whereas the bridge represents communication and is portrayed with three arches, which is a reference to three RAF commands and all three services of the British Armed Forces.

The wing's motto is Support to Strike, acknowledging its support role which supports combat operations.

Josephus Flavius Holloway. Joseph Flavius Holloway (January 18, 1825 – September 1, 1896) was an American mechanical engineer, President of the Cuyahoga Steam Furnace Co., and president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1885–86.

Life and work 
Born at Uniontown, Ohio, Holloway grew up in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, where his father was cabinet maker, and later preacher of the Gospel. He became apprentice at an engine builder and in 1845 was machinist in Chicopee, Massachusetts, for one year. In 1846 he jointed the Cuyahoga Steam Furnace Company, where he assisted in designing steam boats. The next years he designed steam boats for a boat-building firm at Pittsburgh, and at a firm in Wilmington, Delaware.

Early 1850 became manager at the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company, and later at an iron and coal works in Shawneetown, Illinois. In 1857 he returned to the Cuyahoga Steam Furnace Works, where he became superintendent and later also president. After the company merged into the Cleveland Steamboat Company  in 1887, Holloway jointed the engineering company H.R. Worthington in New York, and from 1894 to his death in 1896 he was connected with the Snow Steam Pump Works of Buffalo.

He was president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in the year 1885–86.

Mechenex Pacific Services Ltd v TCA Airconditioning (New Zealand) Ltd. Mechenex Pacific Services Ltd v TCA Airconditioning (New Zealand) Ltd [1991] 2 NZLR 393 is a frequently cited case regarding mutual mistake.

Background
Mechenex were the contractors to supply a new airconditioning system for a building, for which the building plans required a system of 4 litres per second, and they contacted TCA if they could supply a 4 lps system.

TCA were unable to supply such a system, but nonetheless made a written offer to instead supply a different system rated at 5.39 liters per second, and attached to this quote were TCA's terms and conditions for this offer. Mechenex eventually accepted TCA's offer "as per TCA's quotation", and TCA manufactured and delivered the coils.

Unfortunately, Mechenex's head contractor would not accept the TCA coils due to the difference in the specifications, and as a result, Mechenex refused to pay TCA for the coils, on the basis that TCA had supplied the wrong type of coils. TCA claimed that their supply of the coils was not covered by the original offer, but by TCA's subsequent offer.

Mechenex pleaded this was a case of mutual mistake, under section 6(1)(iii) of the Contractual Mistakes Act 1977.

Held
Mechenex's claim of mutual mistake failed, as this was a mistake of interpretation of the contract, which excluded the courts granting relief under the Contractual Mistakes Act. Hardie Boys J stated "The mistake is therefore of the same character as that of the unfortunate appellant in Paulger v Butland Industries Ltd [1989] 3 NZLR 549"

Interconnector. An interconnector (also known as a DC tie in the USA) is a structure which enables high voltage DC electricity to flow between electrical grids. An electrical interconnector allows electricity to flow between separate AC networks, or to link synchronous grids. They can be formed of submarine power cables or underground power cables or overhead power lines.

The longest interconnection as of July 2022 was the 2,210 km Hami - Zhengzhou delivering 8 GW of high voltage direct current power. The longest proposed connector is the 3,800 km, 3.6 GW Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project.

Economy
Interconnectors allow the trading of electricity between territories. For example, the East–West Interconnector allows the trading of electricity between Great Britain and Ireland. A territory which generates more energy than it requires for its own activities can therefore sell surplus energy to a neighbouring territory.

Interconnectors also provide increased resilience. Within the European Union there is a movement towards a single market for energy, which makes interconnectors viable. They are essential to achieve security of supply.  As such, the Nordic and Baltic energy exchange Nord Pool Spot rely on multiple interconnectors. The fullest possible implementation of this is the proposed European super grid which would include numerous interconnectors between national networks.

Interconnectors are used to increase the security of the energy supply and to manage peak demand. They enable cross-border access to the producers and consumers of electricity, thus increasing the competition in energy markets. They also help integrate more electricity generated from renewable sources, thus reducing the use of fossil fuel power plants and  emissions. Interconnectors aid adaptation to changing demand patterns such as the uptake of electric vehicles.

Infrastructure

Interconnectors may run across a land border or connect two land areas separated by water. As of July 2022 there are at least 35 international connectors and many more intra-national connectors, see high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) projects.

Keiser Water Tower. The Keiser Water Tower is a historic waterworks facility at Water and East Main Street in Keiser, Arkansas.  It is an open metal structure, several stories high, with a roughly cylindrical tank at the top, and a rising through the center to provide water to the tank.  A ladder providing access to the tank is fixed to one of the legs, and there is a circular catwalk with railing around the tank.  The structure was built in 1936 with funding from the Public Works Administration, and is one of the few Depression-era structures left in the small community.

The water tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

Part lace. Part lace or sectional lace is a way of making bobbin lace. It characterises various styles, such as Honiton lace or Brussels lace.

All bobbin lace is made with bobbins on a lace pillow. Some styles of lace are made in a continuous strip. Since there is a limit to how many bobbins can be handled on a pillow, this limits how wide the lace is. Part lace, on the other hand, is made in pieces or motifs. Once made, these are joined together in a ground, net or mesh, or with plaits, bars or legs.  This means that the lace has no limit in size, apart from the time needed to make it. 

It can also be made by a team of lacemakers. "Real Honiton laces are made up of bits and bits fashioned by many different women in their own little cottages - here a leaf, there a flower, slowly woven through the long, weary days, only to be united afterward in the precious web by other workers who never saw its beginning."

Part lace may be identified by the ground or plaits being separate from the motifs and joined to them with knots. In continuous lace, the threads pass from the pattern into the ground and out again, without knots.

Bobbin tape lace is sometimes categorized as part lace.

1050 aluminium alloy. 1050 aluminium alloy is an aluminium-based alloy in the "commercially pure" wrought family (1000 or 1xxx series). As a wrought alloy, it is not used in castings. Instead, it is usually formed by extrusion or rolling. It is commonly used in the electrical and chemical industries, on account of having high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and workability. 1050 alloy is also sometimes used for the manufacture of heat sinks, since it has a higher thermal conductivity than other alloys. It has low mechanical strength compared to more significantly alloyed metals. It can be strengthened by cold working, but not by heat treatment.

Alternate names and designations include Al99.5, 3.0255, and A91050. It is described in the following standards:

 ASTM B 491: Standard Specification for Aluminium and Aluminium-Alloy Extruded Round Tubes for General-Purpose Applications
 ISO 6361: Wrought Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Sheets, Strips and Plates

Chemical composition

The alloy composition of 1050 aluminium is:

 Aluminium: 99.5% min
 Copper: 0.05% max
 Iron: 0.4% max
 Magnesium: 0.05% max
