  • 5 minimalism

    Ведущее течение в изобразительном искусстве (главным образом в скульптуре) США в 1960-х. Художники и скульпторы-минималисты (К. Андре [Andre, Carl], Д. Джадд [Judd, Donald], С. Левитт [Lewitt, Sol], Р. Моррис [Morris, Robert], Р. Серра [Serra, Richard] и др.) стремились передать внешний мир с помощью элементарных геометрических форм [primary structures] и однокрасочной цветовой гаммы. Произведения в стиле минимализма пользовались популярностью в 1970-х, особенно при оформлении интерьеров офисов крупных компаний.

  • 6 Issigonis, Sir Alexander Arnold Constantine (Alec)

    [br]
    b. 18 November 1906 Smyrna (now Izmir), Turkey
    d. 2 October 1988 Birmingham, England
    [br]
    British automobile designer whose work included the Morris Minor and the Mini series.
    [br]
    His father was of Greek descent but was a naturalized British subject in Turkey who ran a marine engineering business. After the First World War, the British in Turkey were evacuated by the Royal Navy, the Issigonis family among them. His father died en route in Malta, but the rest of the family arrived in England in 1922. Alec studied engineering at Battersea Polytechnic for three years and in 1928 was employed as a draughtsman by a firm of consulting engineers in Victoria Street who were working on a form of automatic transmission. He had occasion to travel frequently in the Midlands at this time and visited many factories in the automobile industry. He was offered a job in the drawing office at Humber and lived for a couple of years in Kenilworth. While there he met Robert Boyle, Chief Engineer of Morris Motors (see Morris, William Richard), who offered him a job at Cowley. There he worked at first on the design of independent front suspension. At Morris Motors, he designed the Morris Minor, which entered production in 1948 and continued to be manufactured until 1971. Issigonis disliked mergers, and after the merger of Morris with Austin to form the British Motor Corporation (BMC) he left to join Alvis in 1952. The car he designed there, a V8 saloon, was built as a prototype but was never put into production. Following his return to BMC to become Technical Director in 1955, his most celebrated design was the Mini series, which entered production in 1959. This was a radically new concept: it was unique for its combination of a transversely mounted engine in unit with the gearbox, front wheel drive and rubber suspension system. This suspension system, designed in cooperation with Alex Moulton, was also a fundamental innovation, developed from the system designed by Moulton for the earlier Alvis prototype. Issigonis remained as Technical Director of BMC until his retirement.

  • 11 Bourn, Daniel

    SUBJECT AREA: Textiles
    [br]
    fl. 1744 Lancashire, England
    [br]
    English inventor of a machine with cylinders for carding cotton.
    [br]
    Daniel Bourn may well have been a native of Lancashire. He set up a fourth Paul-Wyatt cotton-spinning mill at Leominster, Herefordshire, possibly in 1744, although the earliest mention of it is in 1748. His only known partner in this mill was Henry Morris, a yarn dealer who in 1743 had bought a grant of spindles from Paul at the low rate of 30 shillings or 40 shillings per spindle when the current price was £3 or £4. When Bourn patented his carding engine in 1748, he asked Wyatt for a grant of spindles, to which Wyatt agreed because £100 was offered immedi-ately. The mill, which was probably the only one outside the control of Paul and his backers, was destroyed by fire in 1754 and was not rebuilt, although Bourn and his partners had considerable hopes for it. Bourn was said to have lost over £1,600 in the venture.
    Daniel Bourn described himself as a wool and cotton dealer of Leominster in his patent of 1748 for his carding engine. The significance of this invention is the use of rotating cylinders covered with wire clothing. The patent drawing shows four cylinders, one following the other to tease out the wool, but Bourn was unable to discover a satisfactory method of removing the fibres from the last cylinder. It is possible that Robert Peel in Lancashire obtained one of these engines through Morris, and that James Hargreaves tried to improve it; if so, then some of the early carding engines in the cotton industry were derived from Bourn's.

    1901-1962 (o Lew Landers)
       Louis Friedlander, o Lew Landers, es un caso notable de fecundidad filmica. Mas de 150 peliculas lo contemplan entre 1934 y 1962, ano de su muerte.
       Dirigio dramas, peliculas de aventuras, comedias, peliculas belicas y de ciencia-ficcion, de ambiente criminal y, por supuesto, westerns. Un buen punado de ellos, sobre todo filmes de serie y un par de seriales. Estamos ante un director competente que hizo todo lo que se podia hacer con el material que se ponia en sus manos. Son justamente famosas El cuervo (The Raven, 1935), con Boris Karloff, basada en el relato de Edgar Allan Poe, Blind Alibi (1938), de ambiente opresivo, y el western Bad Lands, donde hace gala de un uso preciso de los primeros planos. Estas dos ultimas peliculas son productos RKO, productora para la que Friedlander trabajo extensamente, como, por otra parte, para Universal, Columbia, Republic o PRC.

  • 15 Socialist Party

    ист
    Политическая партия; создана в 1901 в Индианаполисе В. Бергером [Berger, Victor L.], Дж. Харриманом [Harriman, Job] и М. Хилкуитом [ Hillquit, Morris] из Социалистической рабочей партии [ Socialist Labor Party of North America] и Ю. Дебсом [ Debs, Eugene Victor] из Профсоюза американских железнодорожников [American Railway Union] в результате слияния Социал-демократической партии [ Social-Democratic Party] и отколовшейся части Социалистической рабочей партии [ Socialist Labor Party of North America]. Правое крыло (М. Хилкуит, В. Бергер, Н. Томас [Thomas, Norman]) стремилось ограничить деятельность партии участием в избирательных кампаниях. Наибольшим влиянием в стране партия пользовалась в 1907-12, когда ее политика и действия определялись влиянием ее левого крыла (Ю. Дебс, У. Хейвуд [ Haywood, William Dudley (Big Bill)], Ч. Рутенберг [ Ruthenberg, Charles Emil]). В 1910-12 в партии состояло 118 тыс. членов. Примерно 1 тыс. членов партии была избрана в местные органы власти и органы власти штатов. В 1910 В. Бергер стал первым социалистом, избранным в Конгресс, а в 1912 Ю. Дебс набрал 6 процентов голосов избирателей на президентских выборах. В 1913 из исполкома партии был исключен председатель массовой рабочей организации "Индустриальные рабочие мира" [ Industrial Workers of the World] Ю. Дебс, и, лишившись боевого левого крыла, партия быстро потеряла свое влияние. Ослабленная репрессиями властей и уходом левых сил, партия безуспешно попыталась в 1924 поддержать кандидата независимой Прогрессивной партии Р. Лафоллетта [ La Follette, Robert Marion]. После 1948 в выборах не участвовала и влиянием не пользовалась

  • 16 De Toth, Andre

    1912-2002
       Andre De Toth hizo siempre poco ruido pero, paso a paso, fue construyendo una obra tan modesta como estimable. Hungaro de nacimiento, despues de licenciarse en leyes entra en el mundo del teatro, en su pais, y de alli al cine, donde trabaja como guionista, ayudante de direccion, montador y, esporadicamente, actor, hasta dirigir cinco peliculas, inmediatamente antes del estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. De Hungria salta a Inglaterra, contratado por el emigrado hungaro Alexander Korda. Es en Inglaterra donde cambia su nombre verdadero, Toth Endre, por el de Andre De Toth. En los Estados Unidos, adonde se traslada poco despues, rodo mas de treinta filmes a partir de 1943, de los que nada menos que once son westerns. Tratandose de un hombre que viene de Centroeuropa, no se le puede pedir mayor sensibilidad a la hora de abordar la tematica clasica de este genero, que contribuyo a ennoblecer. Peliculas como La mujer de fuego y Pacto de honor abren la puerta a la mayoria de edad del genero, que De Toth ayudo a renovar, aunque no hay que olvidar su contribucion a otros generos como el de terror (Los crimenes del museo de cera, House of Wax, 1953) o el negro (Aguas turbias, Dark Waters, 1944).

    SUBJECT AREA: Ports and shipping
    [br]
    b. 1767 Torphichen Mill, near Linlithgow, Scotland
    d. 1830 Helensburgh, Scotland
    [br]
    Scottish projector of the first steamboat service in Europe.
    [br]
    The son of Patrick Bell, a millwright, Henry had two sisters and an elder brother and was educated at the village school. When he was 9 years old Henry was sent to lodge in Falkirk with an uncle and aunt of his mother's so that he could attend the school there. At the age of 12 he left school and agreed to become a mason with a relative. In 1783, after only three years, he was bound apprentice to his Uncle Henry, a millwright at Jay Mill. He stayed there for a further three years and then, in 1786, joined the firm of Shaw \& Hart, shipbuilders of Borrowstoneness. These were to be the builders of William Symington's hull for the Charlotte Dundas. He also spent twelve months with Mr James Inglis, an engineer of Bellshill, Lanarkshire, and then went to London to gain experience, working for the famous John Rennie for some eighteen months. By 1790 he was back in Glasgow, and a year later he took a partner, James Paterson, into his new business of builder and contractor, based in the Trongate. He later referred to himself as "architect", and his partnership with Paterson lasted seven years. He is said to have invented a discharging machine for calico printing, as well as a steam dredger for clearing the River Clyde.
    The Baths Hotel was opened in Helensburgh in 1808, with the hotel-keeper, who was also the first provost of the town, being none other than Henry Bell. It has been suggested that Bell was also the builder of the hotel and this seems very likely. Bell installed a steam engine for pumping sea water out of the Clyde and into the baths, and at first ran a coach service to bring customers from Glasgow three days a week. The driver was his brother Tom. The coach was replaced by the Comet steamboat in 1812.
    While Henry was busy with his provost's duties and making arrangements for the building of his steamboat, his wife Margaret, née Young, whom he married in March 1794, occupied herself with the management of the Baths Hotel. Bell did not himself manufacture, but supervised the work of experts: John and Charles Wood of Port Glasgow, builders of the 43ft 6 in. (13.25 m)-long hull of the Comet; David Napier of Howard Street Foundry for the boiler and other castings; and John Robertson of Dempster Street, who had previously supplied a small engine for pumping water to the baths at the hotel in Helensburgh, for the 3 hp engine. The first trials of the finished ship were held on 24 July 1812, when she was launched from Wood's yard. A regular service was advertised in the Glasgow Chronicle on 5 August and was the first in Europe, preceded only by that of Robert Fulton in the USA. The Comet continued to run until 1820, when it was wrecked.
    Bell received little reward for his promotion of steam navigation, merely small pensions from the Clyde trustees and others. He was buried at the parish church of Rhu.

    b. 1 January 1874 Chicago, Illinois, USA
    d. 11 December 1961 Claremont, California, USA
    [br]
    American radio engineer whose work on radio-detection helped lay the foundations for radar.
    [br]
    Taylor gained his degree in engineering from Northwest University, Evanston, Illinois, then spent a time at the University of Gottingen. On his return to the USA he taught successively at Michigan State University, at Lansing, and at the universities of Wisconsin at Madison and North Dakota at Grand Forks. From 1923 until 1945 he supervised the Radio Division at the US Naval Research Laboratories. There he carried out studies of short-wave radio propagation and confirmed Heaviside's 1925 theory of the reflection characteristics of the ionosphere. In the 1920s and 1930s he investigated radio echoes, and in 1933, with L.C.Young and L.A.Hyland, he filed a patent for a system of radio-detection that contributed to the subsequent development of radar.
