SS Ipswich (1883). TSS Ipswich was a passenger vessel built for the Great Eastern Railway in 1883.

History

The ship was built by Earle's Shipbuilding of Hull for the Great Eastern Railway and launched on 21 May 1883.  She was one of a pair of new steamers ordered by the Great Eastern Railway, the other being .  She was launched by the Mayoress of Ipswich.  She was described in the Essex Standard on 26 May 1883. She is built of iron, and will be rigged as a fore-and-aft schooner, with two pole masts; and, having fine lines, she will have a very smart and pleasing appearance, besides being in other respects a most valuable additions to the Great Eastern Railway Company’s fleet. The comford and convenience of passengers have been studied in every way. The saloons and state rooms will be superbly fitted, and the ventilation, lavatories, &c., have been provided on a most ample scale. The accommodation for first-class passengers, 84 in number, is arranged under a long bridge amidships and forward of the engine and boiler space, and for the passengers the bridge deck will afford a spacious promenade. The second-class, 42 in number, will have their accommodation under the poop aft, with ample promenade space on the poop deck. The first-class saloon and state rooms, ladies’ cabin, engine room, &c., are to be lighted by electricity. The upper deck is almost entirely covered by the long poop, bridge and top-gallant forecastle, only a small space or well deck being reserved between each of these for working cargo. The engines which are designed to drive the vessel at a speed of 14 knots, are of the condensing type. Each pair of engines has cylinders 30 inches and 57 inches diameter, by 36 inches stroke, and expected to indicate 1,600 horse-power collectively. Steam will be supplied by two double-ended boilers, 13 feet diameter by 18 feet 3 inches long, at a working pressure of 80lb per square inch. Both the hull and engines have been constructed by Earles’ Company, under the superintendence of the Great Eastern Railway’s Consulting Engineer, Mr. W.G. Ramsden of Liverpool.
 
She was placed on the Harwich to Rotterdam and Antwerp route.

She was withdrawn from service in 1905 and sold in 1906 to the Shah Steam Navigation Company, Bombay and scrapped in 1909.

MS Parafly Skyward. The MS Parafly Skyward is a family of German paramotors that was designed by Martin Sauter and produced by MS Parafly of Meßstetten for powered paragliding. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

Design and development
The Skyward line was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single engine in pusher configuration with a reduction drive and a  diameter two-bladed composite propeller, depending on the model. The aircraft is noted for its low noise.

As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.

MS Parafly. MS Parafly was a German aircraft manufacturer based in Meßstetten and founded by Martin Sauter. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of paramotors in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European microlight categories.

The company seems to have been founded about 2001 and gone out of business in 2005.

The company's products consisted of the Skyward line of paramotors, all powered by the Solo 210 engine series.

Reviewer Rene Coulon noted in 2003 that the Skyward line of paramotors was, "well known worldwide for its reinforced chassis and very efficient engine." Coulon noted at that time that the line was selling well and that the German product certification process had resulted in a reduction in the line's noise output.

William W. Mullins. William Wilson Mullins (March 5, 1927 – April 22, 2001) was an American physicist and materials scientist and a professor at Carnegie Mellon University.

Mullins was born on March 5, 1927, in Boonville, Indiana, where his father was an industrialist and mayor; his uncle, George W. Mullins, was a mathematician at Columbia University. He was raised in Chicago after the family moved there in 1930. He was educated at the Lab School of the University of Chicago, served two years in the U.S. Navy, and then earned a bachelor's degree, master's degree, and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, all in physics, in 1949, 1951, and 1955 respectively. His doctoral research, supervised by Cyril Stanley Smith, concerned the motion of grain boundaries in bismuth.

He continued his work on metal grain boundaries in his first job, at the Westinghouse Research Laboratories in Pittsburgh, from 1955 until 1960. He also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Pittsburgh in this time period. In 1960, he moved to the Carnegie Institute of Technology as an associate professor; his research there included work on surface scratching, crystal facetting, instabilities in shape formation of precipitates, and the effect of capillary forces on shape stability. Later in his career, he branched out to other topics beyond material science, including the distribution of lunar craters and optical caustics caused by the diffraction of light through moving water.

At the Carnegie, Mullins chaired the metallurgy department from 1963 until 1966, when he became dean of the institute. Under his leadership, the institute started a department of biological sciences, merged with the Mellon Institute to form Carnegie Mellon University, and split into two colleges of engineering and science within CMU. He stepped down as dean in 1970, becoming a professor of applied science. He was promoted to university professor in 1985, and retired in 1992.

Mullins won the Mathewson Gold Medal of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers in 1963, the Philip M. McKenna Memorial Award in 1981, the Robert Franklin Mehl Award of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society in 1994, the von Hippel Award of the Materials Research Society in 1995, the Cyril Stanley Smith Award of the International Conference on Grain Growth in 1998, and (posthumously) the Ross Coffin Purdy Award of the American Ceramic Society in 2002. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1984.

He died of cancer in Pittsburgh on April 22, 2001.

Freightliner Business Class (FL-Series). The Freightliner Business Class (FL-Series) is a range of medium-duty (Class 5–8) trucks that was assembled by the American manufacturer Freightliner Trucks from 1991 to 2007. The first medium-duty trucks sold by the company, the FL60/FL70 replaced the Mercedes-Benz L-series trucks which were withdrawn from the United States market during 1991. The Business Class range was sold as both a straight truck and a semitractor. During the late 1990s, the Business Class would become popular in bus applications, in both cowled-chassis (school bus) and cutaway-cab configurations.

In 2001, Freightliner introduced the Freightliner Business Class M2 as the second-generation Business Class, selling variants of the FL-Series concurrently through 2007.

Design 
The first all-new medium-duty conventional truck range introduced in North America since 1980, the design of the Freightliner Business Class was derived heavily upon an existing product range.  Using the mass-produced cab of the Mercedes-Benz LK (Leichte Klasse, light class) introduced in 1983, which had already been transplanted into other Freightliner trucks like the FLC112 in 1985 (with addition of a bonnet to the European cab-over cab structure), Freightliner began development on its first medium-duty truck, essentially serving as a replacement for the Brazilian-built Mercedes-Benz L-Series trucks sold in the United States. Freightliner had been owned by Daimler-Benz since 1981, and tooling up for the production of a crash-tested steel cab is among the most expensive items in truck development. Thus, sharing a cab structure is a major cost-saving procedure. Competitors from Ford and General Motors used pickup-truck cabs.

Variants

Truck 
Introduced in 1991, the FL-Series would feature a full range of medium-duty trucks in the Class 6-7 range. In place of the FLC112 (and most other Freightliners) named for its BBC (bumper to back of cab length), the initial models of the Business Class were identified by size range.  The FL60 was a Class 6 truck; the FL70, a Class 7 truck. Later, the Class 5 FL50 was added at the bottom of the range.  The FL112 is the class 8 model of the line and replaced the earlier FLC112 for model year 1995. It was the only truck of the FL series that continued to use its BBC in its model designation throughout its production life. The FL112 also previewed many design elements that would appear on the 1996 Century Class later in 1995.

Bus 
In 1997, Freightliner began producing the Business Class for bus applications; the Freightliner FS-65 cowled chassis is produced primarily for school bus use.  Additionally, the Business Class was also produced as a cutaway cab for non-school bus bodies.  Following the acquisition of Thomas Built Buses in 1998, the FS65 was bodied by Thomas exclusively after 2001.
