Sukhoi P-1. The Sukhoi P-1 was a prototype Soviet interceptor.

Development
Sukhoi began design studies for what was to become Izdeliye P in 1954 to meet an urgent request from the Ministry of Aviation Industry (MAP – Ministerstvo Aviatsionnoy Promyshlennosti – ministry of aviation industry). The early studies considered crew size, armament (missiles, cannon or both), and powerplant (with a choice of Lyulka AL-9 or AL-11, Klimov VK-9F, Kuznetsov P-2 or Kuznetsov P-4 engines).

The P-1 was designed for the Uragan-1 (Hurricane-1) collision-course intercept radar, which was quite complex and bulky, requiring a crew of two and air intakes on either side of the fuselage rather than at the nose, retaining the delta wing of the Sukhoi T-3 with 57-degree leading edge sweep. Although the production aircraft was intended to use the Lyulka AL-9 engine, then in development, the prototype was fitted with a Lyulka AL-7F of lower power.

The P-1 first flew in July 1957 but underwent only limited flight testing due to unavailability of the intended powerplant and ongoing problems with the radar and missile systems as well as lukewarm enthusiasm from the VVS (Voyenno-Vozdooshnyye Seely – Soviet air forces). OKB-51 persisted for some time trying to raise enthusiasm for the P-1 by proposing an even bigger engine, the Tumansky R-15-300 afterburning turbojet, with singular lack of success. The sole P-1 prototype was relegated to experimental work and later scrapped.

A second prototype, the P-2 was studied, powered by twin Klimov VK-11 engines in the rear fuselage, but this version was cancelled at the mock-up review stage.

AmEagle American Eaglet. The AmEagle American Eaglet was a highly unorthodox ultralight sailplane marketed in the U.S. for homebuilding. It was a one-seat, high-wing braced monoplane that carried an inverted V-tail on a long boom extending from a pod-like fuselage.  Intended for self-launching, it was equipped with a McCulloch go-kart engine and a folding propeller behind the cabin.  Its first flight was on 19 November 1975, and by 1978, at least 250 sets of plans had been sold, with 12 aircraft reportedly completed.

TREVENTUS. Treventus is a company based in Vienna, Austria that was awarded the European ICT prize 2007 in Hanover, Germany for inventing an automatic book scanner, called ScanRobot. This innovative scanner is able to scan entire books automatically, handling the books carefully.

ScanRobot
The ScanRobot SR301 has a claimed operating speed of 2400 pages per hour.  The book scanner scans two pages at once and turns the pages automatically using a vacuum to pick up the pages and using an air flow to turn the pages.
If a book is opened by 180° for the digitization often the binding becomes broken. To avoid such damage the ScanRobot uses a wooden made book cradle with a 60° opening angle. In this way the books are handled carefully, avoiding stress in the binding.

The build in ScanGate software is used for the digitising of books.

Nucleus (video game). Nucleus is a 2007 twin-stick shooter video game developed by Kuju Entertainment and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3 It was released on the PlayStation Store. It was released as Bacterius in Japan.

Gameplay
In Nucleus, the player assumes the role of a "remote unit" that is tasked with eliminating viruses inside the human body. They move through the body's three main biological systems, the digestive system, the circulatory system, and finally the nervous system, culminating in a final battle in the brain.

Gameplay consists eliminating of progressively larger and larger viruses, which combine into larger entities when left undisturbed. Each level also has a number of cells which clump together and interact in a physical manner; the players can move them around and manipulate them with a beam to construct barriers to defend against viruses. The main resource available to the player is protein, which is released each time an enemy or a cell is destroyed. If the player accumulates a large enough stockpile of protein, they can utilise a powerful "protein bomb" weapons which eliminate every enemy in the vicinity. 

Additionally, the player occasionally fights more powerful nucleus enemies. These boss-type enemies fire spores at cells to turn them into bacteria, and can only be damaged by protein bombs. As the nucleus enemies get damaged they become more and more violent, producing more spore and eventually attacking the player directly. Levels end after a certain condition, which varies. These include destroying a certain amount of viruses, surviving for a set duration, gathering power-ups, or achieving a score target.

The game entities are all physically dynamic, imparting a force on other nearby entities. Cells exert an attractive force on each other, clumping into a tesselating mass and reacting to various forces in the game environment. Exploding protein bombs or angry nuclei exert a large force over a wide area, which can break the cell walls the player has constructed.

The game includes a co-op mode for two players. A patch has been released which offers a new mode of play, Nucleus+, which speeds up the gameplay and modifies and adds new levels.

Reception 

Video game aggregator site Metacritic stated that the game received "mixed or average" reviews.

Multiple reviewers commented on the game's difficulty, with Ben Kuchera of Ars Technica saying that "if you're not a fan of pants-wetting frustration, you may want to sit this out", and Eurogamer describing its "diamond-hard" difficulty as "rare" in modern gaming. Alex Navarro of GameSpot criticised the "insanely tough later levels" and "dull" gameplay.

Harry Pollitt (engineer). Harry Pollitt (26 December 1865 – 23 January 1945) was an English railway engineer, who was Locomotive Engineer of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway from 1894 to 1897 and its successor, the Great Central Railway, from 1897 to 1900.

Biography
He was born on 26 December 1865 in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire. His father was Sir William Pollitt, who became general manager of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MSLR) between 1866 and 1899.

Harry Pollitt was appointed Locomotive Engineer of the MSLR from January 1894, replacing Thomas Parker, who resigned at the end of 1893. Pollitt had previously been Works Manager at the Gorton locomotive works of the MSLR, under Parker. In June 1894, his duties were expanded to cover the MSLR's fleet of ferries on the Humber, and his job title was changed to Locomotive & Marine Engineer. On 1 August 1897, the MSLR was renamed the Great Central Railway (GCR).

Pollitt personally saw off the first GCR passenger service from Marylebone on 15 March 1899.

He resigned in June 1900, and married an Australian woman (Mabel Amanda Alves 1877-1944) the following year. He never worked again, his right to deploy the title Major (see his wife's will) in later life stems from his father's role in the 4th Battalion of The Manchester Regiment, a volunteer territorial regiment in which Harry never saw active service. He was succeeded as Locomotive and Marine Engineer by John G. Robinson.

De Havilland DH.14 Okapi. The de Havilland DH.14 Okapi was a British two-seat day bomber of the 1910s built by de Havilland. The aircraft was designed as an Airco DH.4 and DH.9 replacement, but it never entered production.

Design and development

The Okapi was a scaled-up Airco DH.9 with a bigger engine, (the Rolls-Royce Condor) intended as a replacement for the DH.4 and DH.9. Three were built, but due to the end of the First World War the Royal Air Force was reluctant to accept them. The third aircraft was the first to fly, and it was completed by Airco as the DH.14A, a two-seat long-range mail plane. The two military aircraft were completed by de Havilland in 1921 and used for trials. One suffered a fatal crash at Burnham Beeches on 10 February 1922 and no production aircraft were ordered.

G-EAPY
The third aircraft was completed as the DH.14A to compete in the Daily Mail transatlantic flight competition. It had a Napier Lion engine and increased  fuel capacity. With the winning of the prize by Alcock and Brown the project was abandoned. The aircraft, registered G-EAPY, was then to be used by Sidney Cotton, who intended to try for the Australian government's £10,000 prize for a flight between England and Australia. Keith and Ross Smith won that prize before Cotton was ready.

The aircraft was loaned by Airco to Cotton to attempt the first flight between London and Cape Town. Cotton and an engineer from Napier left Hendon Aerodrome on 4 February 1920, but soon forced landed at Cricklewood with oil problems. Cotton reached Naples on the 21 February but they failed to find the aerodrome at Messina and they force-landed on a nearby beach.

G-EAPY was rebuilt by Airco with an additional third cockpit and sold to Cotton for use in the Aerial Derby.  The aircraft was badly damaged when it forced landed following an onboard fire near Hertford on 24 July 1920. When the other two DH.14s were completed by de Havilland at Stag Lane in 1921 the DH.14A was repaired again and joined the test flying with a military serial number.

Variants
 DH.14 – two-seat day bomber with a Rolls-Royce Condor engine, two built.
 DH.14A – two-seat long range mailplane with a Napier Lion Engine, one built.

Airco DH.16. The Airco DH.16 was an early British airliner designed by Geoffrey de Havilland, the chief designer at Airco. It accommodated a pilot plus four passengers, and was operated from 1919 to 1923.

Design and development
The DH.16 was a redesigned Airco DH.9A light bomber biplane with a wider fuselage, accommodating an enclosed cabin seating four passengers, plus the pilot in an open cockpit. In March 1919, the prototype first flew at Hendon Aerodrome. Nine aircraft were built, all but one being delivered to Airco's subsidiary Aircraft Transport & Travel Limited (AT&T).

Operational history
AT&T used the first aircraft for pleasure flying, then on 25 August 1919 it was with this type of aircraft that AT&T operated the first regular (daily) international service in the world, from London-Hounslow Heath Aerodrome to Paris–Le Bourget Airport. 

On 17 May 1920, an AT&T DH.16 (G-EALU) flew the first KLM service between Croydon Airport and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

In December 1920, AT&T closed down. One aircraft was sold to the River Plate Aviation Company in Argentina, to operate a cross-river service between Buenos Aires and Montevideo, and the other aircraft were stored. Two were later used for newspaper delivery flights, but on 10 January 1923 one of these suffered a fatal crash, and the remaining DH.16s were withdrawn and scrapped.

Variants
The first six aircraft were powered by a 320 hp (239 kW) Rolls-Royce Eagle inline piston engine; the last three aircraft were fitted with the more powerful 450 hp (336 kW) Napier Lion engine.

Operators

 The River Plate Aviation Co. Ltd. – three aircraft c/n No 2, No 3 and P-4.

KLM – services operated by Aircraft Transport and Travel aircraft.

Aircraft Transport and Travel Limited – all nine DH.16s operated from 1919 to 1922.

William Grindley Craig. William Grindley Craig (30 March 1819 – 24 January 1886) was a Scottish railway engineer and designer who was locomotive superintendent of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway from 1854–1859. He was present, as an expert witness, at an enquiry into the Round Oak rail accident in 1858. He was succeeded by Charles Sacre. 

Craig was born near Glasgow in 1819. He died in Saint-Jean-de-Luz in 1886.

Career

Taff Vale Railway
He was Locomotive Superintendent of the Taff Vale Railway from 1844 to 1845. His appointment on the TVR was brief, a fate shared by a handful of engineers about this time on that railway.

Neath Abbey Ironworks
He worked in another capacity at the Neath Abbey Ironworks, probably from 1844 to 1849.

Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company
He worked for the Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company from 1849 to 1854. On the MR&CC Craig was responsible for the following locomotives, all of which were built by private manufacturers, including Neath Abbey Ironworks:

 2 x 0-6-0 (1850)
 2 x 0-4-0WT (1850)
 1 x 4-4-0 (1850)
 6 x 4-4-0T (1853)
 6 x 0-6-0WT (1854)

For more information about these locomotives, see Locomotives of the Great Western Railway.

Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway
Craig worked for the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway from 1854 to 1859. This was Craig's last senior railway appointment, succeeding Richard Peacock of Beyer, Peacock and Company fame. On the MS&LR, he attracted a salary of £500/annum plus bonus payments based on savings made. He later became a cost-saving himself when his contract was not renewed following a reorganisation. He was replaced by Charles Reboul Sacre, late of the Great Northern Railway, but was retained as a consultant. The locomotives Craig added to MS&LR stock comprised:

 2 x 0-6-0 (1854)
 1 x 2-2-2WT (1856)
 3 x 0-6-0 (1858–59)

At least one of the company's ships was also designed by him.

Consulting engineer
In 1861 Craig was living in north London, employed as a civil consulting engineer and by ten years later was still there but had added iron merchant to his occupations.

Family
By 1881 he had moved to Wiltshire, where his wife Eliza Ellen Langley (1827-1882)(whom he had married in 1848) died. Craig had at least four children, two girls born in Newport, Monmouthshire, and a boy and girl born during his time at Gorton, Manchester. He died in St.Jean de Luz Basse Pyrenees, France 24/01/1886, leaving a will and naming one of his spinster daughters as executor.

Chrislea Aircraft. Chrislea Aircraft Limited was a British aircraft manufacturer, formed in 1936 and closed in 1952.

History

The company was formed on 2 October 1936 at Heston Aerodrome near London, England, to build the designs of Richard Christoforides. The company name was derived from the partners Christoforides and Bernard Victor Leak. The first product was the Airguard which first flew in 1938. The Ace first flew in 1946 and soon after in April 1947 the company moved to Exeter International Airport (due to the closure of Heston). At Exeter the Super Ace and Skyjeep were produced, but the aircraft did not sell well due to resistance to the unusual control wheel used. The Managing Director and Chief Designer R.C. Christoforides left the company after internal problems, reduced demand and low production levels, with the assets of the company being bought by C.E.Harper Aircraft Limited in 1952, which scrapped all partly constructed and non-flown aircraft (Seven Super Aces and two Skyjeeps).
