Lagoon catamaran. Lagoon catamaran is a brand of twin-hulled boats that are designed and produced in Bordeaux, France.

The company began in 1984 as a specialist multihull division of Jeanneau, a volume monohull constructor. Jeanneau sold the division to Construction Navale Bordeaux (CNB), which was purchased by Beneteau in 1995, another French boat manufacturer.

Lagoon, the world's largest multihull builder with 5800 catamarans produced since 1984, specialises in modern sailing catamarans that are suitable for both coastal and offshore sailing. Most models are available in a charter version and an owner's version.  The designers, Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot-Prévost at VPLP design, claim to be very responsive to customer feedback, which enables the models to evolve over time.

Lagoon catamarans have been well-received, and the Lagoon 380 has been their most successful model. Lagoon have also produced some power catamarans, including the Lagoon Power 43 and Lagoon Power 44.

Lagoon boats smaller than  are built at Belleville-sur-Vie and launched at Les Sables-d'Olonne in Vendée. Boats over 50 feet long are built at the CNB shipyard in Bordeaux.

By 2021 the company had produced 6,000 catamarans.

Since the Lagoon 39 and 52 in 2012, the mast of all Lagoon catamarans does not rest on the partition wall but is located further aft, in order to increase the size and ease-of-use of the self-tacking jib hence improving the mainsail/headsail arrangement and overall performance.

Lagoon boats are made of balsa wood core sandwiched between fiberglass layers which are vacuum infusion molded. Cabinetry is made of plywood.

National Research Development Corporation. The National Research Development Corporation (NRDC) was a non-departmental government body established by the British Government to transfer technology from the public sector to the private sector.

History
The NRDC was established by Attlee's Labour government in 1948 to meet a perceived need at the time to exploit the many products that had been developed during World War II by the Defence Research Establishments. It was set up by the Board of Trade under the Development of Inventions Act 1948  and the first managing director was Lord Giffard.

The NRDC was established in India in 1953 to help develop and promote technologies developed at various national R&D institutions.

The first commercial size hovercraft, the SR.N1, was built under a contract let by the NRDC to Saunders-Roe in 1958.

In 1981, the NRDC was combined with the National Enterprise Board ('NEB') to form the British Technology Group ('BTG').

Operations
Typically the NRDC would patent the product for commercial exploitation and earn royalties as private sector companies generated sales from those products. Examples of such products include carbon fibre, asbestos-plastic composites and developments in semi-conductor technology.

The development of the hovercraft would also not have taken place without the involvement of the NRDC.

In the 1970s, a team of Rothamsted Research scientists discovered three pyrethroids suitable for use as insecticides, namely  permethrin, cypermethrin and deltamethrin. These compounds were subsequently licensed as NRDC 143, 149 and 161 respectively, to companies which then manufactured them for use worldwide.

Ingrow (East) railway station. Ingrow (East) railway station was a small English railway station on the Keighley-Queensbury section of the Queensbury Lines which ran between Bradford, Halifax and Keighley via Queensbury. The station served the prosperous industrial district of Keighley and was only a short distance away from the Ingrow (West) railway station on the Midland Railway Oxenhope Branch, which is now the preserved Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.

To cope with the production from the mills the station had a vast goods yard. The whole station and goods yard site has now been incorporated into the Travis Perkins builders merchants which occupies the site. Just beyond the station was the GN Goods Junction where the GN trains linked with the Oxenhope branch for the last mile into Keighley. Beyond the junction the line continued alongside the Oxenhope Branch before diverging beneath it into the GN goods yard, where, unlike the MR goods yard, all the buildings are intact.

In 1957, two years after closure to passengers, the station area was used in a test on a new type of railway sleeper. British Railways deliberately derailed a driverless locomotive for the test. Press and public alike were not allowed to witness or photograph the event.

Swage nut. A swage nut or self-clinching nut is a type of nut or threaded insert that is used on sheet metal.  

It permanently anchors itself to the sheet metal by swaging the surrounding material.  Generally, the swage nut is made of a hard metal such as stainless steel, which is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in a softer ductile material such as aluminum.  The inserted shank has three diameters: a main shaft which fits the hole closely, a thin smaller-diameter undercut, and a larger-diameter serrated clinching ring.  Forcing the clinching ring into softer material, with an arbor press or by tightening a screw through the hole, causes it to plastically deform (swage) into the annular recess in the shank.  This locks the nut into the hole.  The knurling on the clinching ring is not necessary for this step, but prevents the nut from rotating after installation.

This is a popular method for adding strong, load-bearing threads to a relatively thin piece of sheet metal. Commercial varieties exist to suit common sheet metals, such as mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and can include finishes for corrosion resistance. 

Self-clinching nuts are described in National Aerospace Standard NASM45938 which supersedes military specification MIL-N-45938

History
Albert Spokes filed for a U.S. patent on the swage nut in early 1958.  The swage nut is descended from an older idea, the clinch nut.  Clinch nuts incorporate a tubular shaft that fits through the part to be attached and is clinched or riveted in place from the opposite side.

LNER Thompson Class B1 (6)1264. London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Thompson Class B1 No. 1264, (later British Railways No. 61264, and Departmental No. 29) is a preserved British steam locomotive.

Service 
1264 was built in 1947 by the North British Locomotive Company, Works No. 26165.  It was initially allocated to Parkeston Quay (shed code 30F), near Harwich, for working the Great Eastern Main Line, and would remain there for 13 years.  In January 1948, 1264 passed into the ownership of British Railways, and in March it was allocated the number 61264, though this was not applied until October 1949.  The class were given the power classification 5MT by BR.

In November 1960, 61264 was transferred from Parkeston Quay to Colwick Depot (38A), near Nottingham, for working the Great Central Main Line. It would remain there until it was withdrawn in December 1965.

Departmental service 

That was not the end of its BR service however as it was transferred to departmental stock, and renumbered 29 in the Eastern Region departmental stock series. There it was used as a mobile boiler for heating carriages. It had its couplings removed so it couldn't haul trains, but could still propel itself.

29 was withdrawn from departmental stock in July 1967. It was initially stored, but in March 1968 it was sold for scrap.

Preservation 
However, luck was on its side: 61264 was sold to Woodham Brothers scrapyard, Barry Island, the only former LNER locomotive to be sent to Barry. By the time the locomotive was rescued from scrap in 1973, the 83rd engine to leave Barry, it was the last surviving ex-LNER locomotive not preserved.

Restoration took some time; the boiler and firebox were in such poor condition that a new boiler and firebox seemed the only option, but steady work during the 1980s and 1990s restored the original boiler and the completed engine moved under its own power in 1997, finished in LNER Apple green as No. 1264. It is currently in BR Black livery as 61264. It was withdrawn from service (mid-2008) for a 10-year overhaul at LNWR Crewe and, once finished moved to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. 61264 returned to the mainline in 2014 with a test run in early January followed by double-heading the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express from Manchester Victoria to Carlisle with LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 45407 organised by the Railway Touring Company.

From December 2012 until July 2022 the locomotive was based at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and used on both mainline railtours alongside the NYMR's services between Grosmont and Whitby. The locomotive is now based at the Nottingham Heritage Railway and is in the process of undergoing a Network Rail standard overhaul.

61264 is one of two surviving Thompson Class B1s, but the only LNER-built example, the other being BR-built 61306.

Oakamoor railway station. Oakamoor railway station is a closed railway station in the Churnet Valley, Staffordshire.  The station was opened in 1849 as part of the Churnet Valley Line constructed by the North Staffordshire Railway.  Serving the village of Oakamoor the station remained open until 1965 when all services were withdrawn,   A little north of the station, freight traffic from Oakamoor Sand Sidings continued until 1988.

From 1917 until 1963 shunting in these sidings was performed by a battery-electric locomotive, built on a wagon chassis. This has now been preserved at the National Railway Museum.

Preservation
The track remains in situ as far as the sand sidings and is now owned by the Churnet Valley Railway (CVR).  It is not yet in regular use, but on 21 September 2008, the first service for 20 years ran to Oakamoor with a CVR shareholders' special.

The railway trackbed that extends down the Churnet Valley to the former station at Alton has been converted to a footpath.

The CVR hopes to one day reach Oakamoor station as part of a project in bringing the CVR into becoming the largest preserved railway network within the centre of England.

Protos (train). The Protos is an electric multiple unit  built by the German company Fahrzeugtechnik Dessau.

Details
The train is built with two coaches. The train has a low floor, at a height of 810 mm, so there is little to no step between the platform height and the trains. The prototype unit left the factory in September 2006 and was displayed at InnoTrans 2006. The only operator of these units is Connexxion on the Valleilijn between Amersfoort and Ede-Wageningen in the Netherlands where 5 sets were delivered. After testing, the units entered passenger service in September 2007.
