Bristol

Coordinates: 40°6'12"N 74°51'5"W

**Bristol** is a borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania located approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Philadelphia and is bounded on the north, northeast and southwest by Bristol Township.

## History

Bristol is the oldest borough in Bucks County and the third oldest in Pennsylvania after Chester and Germantown. the borough charter indicates that it was known as Buckingham and possibly New Bristol prior to the charter being granted in 1720.

Originally, Bristol was 240 acres (97 hectares) granted by Sir Edmund Andros, Governer of New York to Samuel Clift in 1681. In 1697, the Pennsylvania Provincial Council ordered that a town be laid out at this location, a petition was submitted by Joseph Bond, Anthony Burton, John Hall and William Wharton to the Council for incorporation, and was granted in 1702.

In 1740, William Davis built a shipyard in Bristol building small vessels such as schooners and sloops. One such vessel was the *Morning Glory*, noted for being the fastest sailing craft on the Delaware River. In 1800, John Reed acquired the shipyard. The old main building was sold to Frank Werk who demolished it for modern buildings in 1891.

In 1787, John Fitch undertook a trial run of the first steam-powered vessel, the *Perseverance*, sixty tons, a trial run from Philadelphia to Burlington, New Jersey, successfully completed at six miles per hour (9.5 kilometers per hour). Working on an improved vessel Fitch advertised in a newspaper in Philadelphia:

THE
STEAMBOAT
Sets out tomorrow morning at ten o'clock
from Arch Street Ferry, in order to take
passengers for Burlington, Bristol, Borden-
town and Trenton, and return next day
Philadelphia, July 26, 1790
This trip was a success and returned the next day. The trip reached seven and one-half miles per hour. The service continued for the rest of the season. Later, two larger steamboats, *Columbia* and *Twilight* provided passenger service from Bristol. The *Republic* was a "mammoth" steamboat ferry, stopping at Bristol.

The first bank in Bucks County, the Farmers Bank of Bucks County was established on 21 March 1814, first opened in Hulmeville, but later moved to Bristol.

The Bristol Improvement Company was chartered on 18 December 1876 constructing buildings to rent to local businesses such as the Bristol Carpet Mill, Bristol Worsted Mill, Keystone Fringe Mill, Star Woolen MIll and the Wilson & Fenimore Wall Paper Mill.

Туалет (типа "сортир")

**Туалет** (типа **"сортир"**) - эзотерический символ толпо-элитаризма. Состоит из двух пирамид - пирамиды власти и пирамиды знаний. Обозначается на схеме буквами Мэ и Жо.

В эзотерике пирамида (иерархия) власти строится на основе иерархии и дозированной подачи знаний, реализуемой в виде иерархии посвящений. Так, например, в масонстве существует система (иерархия) степеней посвящения (градусов).

Особенностью сортира является *сливной бачок*, с помощью которого **сливают** тех, кто стоит ниже по иерархии.

## Обозначения

Вольт-Амперные характеристики Сортира: **P=A\*V**, где **P** (**Power**) - Власть, измеряемая в Ватах. Градус посвящения определяется по отклонению **стрелки осциллографа**.

А

**Пирамида власти** обозначается буквой А. Измеряется в Амперах. А-а-а-а-а — демоны !

V

**Пирамида знаний** обозначается буквой V. Измеряется в Вольтах.

## Основная проблема сортира: протекает

Основной проблемой системы пирамид «иерархия власти - иерархия знаний» является то, что эта система не заложена на генетическом уровне (генетически не заложено разделение людей на начальников и подчинённых, хозяев и рабов). Сторонникам построения в обществе иерархии власти приходится бороться с утечками информации для сохранения иерархии знаний. Поскольку генетически заложенный потенциал человека способствует восприятию культуры (обучению новым знаниям), то в целях охраны иерархии знаний эзотерики стремятся ограничить генетический потенциал развития человека. Для этого они внедряют культуру, которая противоречит генетике.

He was also offered free passage for life, but, turned it down and was reported to have stated "I never knew dividends to be paid out of passes. I have asked friends to put their money in this railroad, promising them interest on their investment, and I can't let them down.
