  • 4 Smeaton, John

    [br]
    b. 8 June 1724 Austhorpe, near Leeds, Yorkshire, England
    d. 28 October 1792 Austhorpe, near Leeds, Yorkshire, England
    [br]
    English mechanical and civil engineer.
    [br]
    As a boy, Smeaton showed mechanical ability, making for himself a number of tools and models. This practical skill was backed by a sound education, probably at Leeds Grammar School. At the age of 16 he entered his father's office; he seemed set to follow his father's profession in the law. In 1742 he went to London to continue his legal studies, but he preferred instead, with his father's reluctant permission, to set up as a scientific instrument maker and dealer and opened a shop of his own in 1748. About this time he began attending meetings of the Royal Society and presented several papers on instruments and mechanical subjects, being elected a Fellow in 1753. His interests were turning towards engineering but were informed by scientific principles grounded in careful and accurate observation.
    In 1755 the second Eddystone lighthouse, on a reef some 14 miles (23 km) off the English coast at Plymouth, was destroyed by fire. The President of the Royal Society was consulted as to a suitable engineer to undertake the task of constructing a new one, and he unhesitatingly suggested Smeaton. Work began in 1756 and was completed in three years to produce the first great wave-swept stone lighthouse. It was constructed of Portland stone blocks, shaped and pegged both together and to the base rock, and bonded by hydraulic cement, scientifically developed by Smeaton. It withstood the storms of the English Channel for over a century, but by 1876 erosion of the rock had weakened the structure and a replacement had to be built. The upper portion of Smeaton's lighthouse was re-erected on a suitable base on Plymouth Hoe, leaving the original base portion on the reef as a memorial to the engineer.
    The Eddystone lighthouse made Smeaton's reputation and from then on he was constantly in demand as a consultant in all kinds of engineering projects. He carried out a number himself, notably the 38 mile (61 km) long Forth and Clyde canal with thirty-nine locks, begun in 1768 but for financial reasons not completed until 1790. In 1774 he took charge of the Ramsgate Harbour works.
    On the mechanical side, Smeaton undertook a systematic study of water-and windmills, to determine the design and construction to achieve the greatest power output. This work issued forth as the paper "An experimental enquiry concerning the natural powers of water and wind to turn mills" and exerted a considerable influence on mill design during the early part of the Industrial Revolution. Between 1753 and 1790 Smeaton constructed no fewer than forty-four mills.
    Meanwhile, in 1756 he had returned to Austhorpe, which continued to be his home base for the rest of his life. In 1767, as a result of the disappointing performance of an engine he had been involved with at New River Head, Islington, London, Smeaton began his important study of the steam-engine. Smeaton was the first to apply scientific principles to the steam-engine and achieved the most notable improvements in its efficiency since its invention by Newcomen, until its radical overhaul by James Watt. To compare the performance of engines quantitatively, he introduced the concept of "duty", i.e. the weight of water that could be raised 1 ft (30 cm) while burning one bushel (84 lb or 38 kg) of coal. The first engine to embody his improvements was erected at Long Benton colliery in Northumberland in 1772, with a duty of 9.45 million pounds, compared to the best figure obtained previously of 7.44 million pounds. One source of heat loss he attributed to inaccurate boring of the cylinder, which he was able to improve through his close association with Carron Ironworks near Falkirk, Scotland.

  • 5 Connecticut

    Штат в группе штатов Новой Англии [ New England]. Площадь - 13 тыс. кв. км. Население 3,4 млн. человек (2000). Столица - Хартфорд [ Hartford]. Крупнейшие города - Бриджпорт [ Bridgeport], Нью-Хейвен [ New Haven], Уотербери [ Waterbury], Стамфорд [ Stamford], Норуок [ Norwalk], Нью-Лондон [ New London]. На юге примыкает к проливу Лонг-Айленд [ Long Island Sound], граничит на востоке с Род-Айлендом [ Rhode Island], на западе с Нью-Йорком [ New York], на севере с Массачусетсом [ Massachusetts]. Был одной из первых тринадцати колоний [ Thirteen Colonies], имеет статус штата с 1788 (5-й по счету). Штат принято делить на три топографических района: горы Таконик [ Taconic Mountains] и Беркширы [ Berkshires, the] на северо-западе, низменность в центре и холмистая местность на востоке (северная часть которого известна как "Тихий уголок" [Quiet Corner]). Основные реки - Коннектикут [ Connecticut River], Хусатоник [ Housatonic River], Темза [Thames River]. Умеренный влажный климат. Голландец Эдриен Блок [Block, Adrien] обследовал р. Коннектикут в 1614; первое европейское поселение - торговый пост на месте современного Хартфорда - было основано в 1633. В это же десятилетие пуритане [ Puritans] из Колонии Массачусетского залива [ Massachusetts Bay Colony] основали Уэзерсфилд [Weathersfield], Хартфорд, Уиндзор [Windsor] и Сэйбрук [Saybrook], а поселенцы из Плимутской колонии [ Plymouth Colony] - колонию Нью-Хейвен [ New Haven Colony]. В 1639 поселения на берегах реки объединились в Коннектикутскую колонию [Connecticut Colony], к которой после 1665 присоединился Нью-Хейвен. До XVIII в. основную роль в экономике играло сельское хозяйство (до сих пор сохраняется роль птицеводства). Ему на смену пришло мануфактурное производство, в том числе металлургическая и текстильная промышленность. Войдя в состав США, штат сразу стал играть важную роль в политике страны, встав в оппозицию к Закону об эмбарго [ Embargo Act] 1807 и Войне 1812 года [ War of 1812, Hartford Convention]. В 1818 штат принял новую конституцию. После Гражданской войны [ Civil War], в которой штат поддерживал Союз [ Union], начался стремительный рост промышленности, иммиграции, урбанизации. Обе мировые войны также способствовали индустриальному развитию, военные заказы смягчили последствия Великой депрессии [ Great Depression]. До последнего времени мощная индустриальная база помогала развитию штата и решению растущих проблем, таких как загрязнение окружающей среды, рост преступности и др. В экономике штата доминирует промышленное производство: авиадвигатели, вертолеты [Sikorsky Helicopter Plant], атомные подводные лодки (отделение по производству подлодок "Дженерал дайнэмикс" [ General Dynamics Corp., Electric Boat Division] в г. Гротоне), вооружения [Colt's Manufacturing Co.], металлоизделия, часы, приборы. В последнее время штат серьезно страдает от конверсии оборонной промышленности (в 1989-94 работу потеряли более 190 тыс. человек). Хартфорд - важный центр страхового бизнеса [ Insurance Capital of the World], Стамфорд - местонахождение штаб-квартир многих крупнейших фирм, Нью-Хейвен известен как место основания в 1701 третьего университета страны - Йельского [ Yale University].
