10 Stevens, John
[br]b. 1749 New York, New York, USAd. 6 March 1838 Hoboken, New Jersey, USA[br]American pioneer of steamboats and railways.[br]Stevens, a wealthy landowner with an estate at Hoboken on the Hudson River, had his attention drawn to the steamboat of John Fitch in 1786, and thenceforth devoted much of his time and fortune to developing steamboats and mechanical transport. He also had political influence and it was at his instance that Congress in 1790 passed an Act establishing the first patent laws in the USA. The following year Stevens was one of the first recipients of a US patent. This referred to multi-tubular boilers, of both watertube and firetube types, and antedated by many years the work of both Henry Booth and Marc Seguin on the latter.A steamboat built in 1798 by John Stevens, Nicholas J.Roosevelt and Stevens's brother-in-law, Robert R.Livingston, in association was unsuccessful, nor was Stevens satisfied with a boat built in 1802 in which a simple rotary steam-en-gine was mounted on the same shaft as a screw propeller. However, although others had experimented earlier with screw propellers, when John Stevens had the Little Juliana built in 1804 he produced the first practical screw steamboat. Steam at 50 psi (3.5 kg/cm2) pressure was supplied by a watertube boiler to a single-cylinder engine which drove two contra-rotating shafts, upon each of which was mounted a screw propeller. This little boat, less than 25 ft (7.6 m) long, was taken backwards and forwards across the Hudson River by two of Stevens's sons, one of whom, R.L. Stevens, was to help his father with many subsequent experiments. The boat, however, was ahead of its time, and steamships were to be driven by paddle wheels until the late 1830s.In 1807 John Stevens declined an invitation to join with Robert Fulton and Robert R.Living-ston in their development work, which culminated in successful operation of the PS Clermont that summer; in 1808, however, he launched his own paddle steamer, the Phoenix. But Fulton and Livingston had obtained an effective monopoly of steamer operation on the Hudson and, unable to reach agreement with them, Stevens sent Phoenix to Philadelphia to operate on the Delaware River. The intervening voyage over 150 miles (240 km) of open sea made Phoenix the first ocean-going steamer.From about 1810 John Stevens turned his attention to the possibilities of railways. He was at first considered a visionary, but in 1815, at his instance, the New Jersey Assembly created a company to build a railway between the Delaware and Raritan Rivers. It was the first railway charter granted in the USA, although the line it authorized remained unbuilt. To demonstrate the feasibility of the steam locomotive, Stevens built an experimental locomotive in 1825, at the age of 76. With flangeless wheels, guide rollers and rack-and-pinion drive, it ran on a circular track at his Hoboken home; it was the first steam locomotive to be built in America.[br]Bibliography1812, Documents Tending to Prove the Superior Advantages of Rail-ways and Steam-carriages over Canal Navigation.He took out patents relating to steam-engines in the USA in 1791, 1803, and 1810, and in England, through his son John Cox Stevens, in 1805.Further ReadingH.P.Spratt, 1958, The Birth of the Steamboat, Charles Griffin (provides technical details of Stevens's boats).J.T.Flexner, 1978, Steamboats Come True, Boston: Little, Brown (describes his work in relation to that of other steamboat pioneers).J.R.Stover, 1961, American Railroads, Chicago: University of Chicago Press.Transactions of the Newcomen Society (1927) 7: 114 (discusses tubular boilers).J.R.Day and B.G.Wilson, 1957, Unusual Railways, F.Muller (discusses Stevens's locomotive).PJGR -

SUBJECT AREA: Ports and shipping[br]b. 18 October 1787 Hoboken, New Jersey, USAd. 20 April 1856 Hoboken, New Jersey, USA[br]American engineer, pioneer of steamboats and railways.[br]R.L.Stevens was the son of John Stevens and was given the technical education his father lacked. He assisted his father with the Little Juliana and the Phoenix, managed the commercial operation of the Phoenix on the Delaware River, and subsequently built many other steamboats.In 1830 he and his brother Edwin A.Stevens obtained a charter from the New Jersey Legislature for the Camden \& Amboy Railroad \& Transportation Company, and he visited Britain to obtain rails and a locomotive. Railway track in the USA then normally comprised longitudinal timber rails with running surfaces of iron straps, but Stevens designed rails of flat-bottom section, which were to become standard, and had the first batch rolled in Wales. He also designed hookheaded spikes for them, and "iron tongues", which became fishplates. From Robert Stephenson \& Co. (see Robert Stephenson) he obtained the locomotive John Bull, which was similar to the Liverpool \& Manchester Railway's Samson. The Camden \& Amboy Railroad was opened in 1831, but John Bull, a 0–4–0, proved over sensitive to imperfections in the track; Stevens and his mechanic, Isaac Dripps, added a two-wheeled non-swivelling "pilot" at the front to guide it round curves. The locomotive survives at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC.[br]Further ReadingH.P.Spratt, 1958, The Birth of the Steamboat, Charles Griffin.J.H.White Jr, 1979, A History of the American Locomotive—Its Development: 1830– 1880, New York: Dover Publications Inc.J.F.Stover, 1961, American Railroads, Chicago: University of Chicago Press.PJGRBiographical history of technology > Stevens, Robert Livingston

12 Stevens family
Семья изобретателей, пионеров речного пароходства и паровозной тяги на железных дорогах. Джон Стивенс [Stevens, John] (1749-1838) - инженер, участвовал во внедрении паровых машин на транспорте. Проявил интерес к транспорту на паровой тяге в конце 1780-х. В 1792 подал патентную заявку на усовершенствованный паровой котел и паровую машину, в 1804 построил первый винтовой пароход "Маленькая Джулиана" ["Little Juliana"], который несколько раз пересек р. Хадсон [ Hudson River] (первая в мире паромная переправа на паровой тяге), а в 1809 колесный пароход Стивенса "Феникс" впервые совершил плавание по океану из Нью-Йорка в Филадельфию. С 1810 занялся созданием паровозов. В 1826 построил первый паровоз, который курсировал по замкнутой кольцевой железной дороге в его имении в г. Хобокене, шт. Нью-Джерси. Второй сын Джона Роберт Ливингстон [Stevens, Robert Livingston] (1787-1859) - инженер-механик и изобретатель - участвовал в проектировании более 20 паромов и пароходов. Сконструировал паромные сходни. В 1830 изобрел рельс таврового сечения, а также железнодорожный костыль и усовершенствовал систему строительства железнодорожного полотна. Шестой сын Джона Эдвин Огастес [Stevens, Edwin Augustus] (1795-1868) - инженер, финансист, изобретатель и филантроп - вел финансовые дела семьи. В 1823 изобрел вид плуга. В 1844 продемонстрировал возможность строительства судов с железными бортами. Был казначеем и президентом железной дороги "Камден-Амбой" [Camden and Amboy Railroad]. Завещал средства на создание в г.

13 Stevens, George
1904-1975Todo un profesional de Hollywood, conocido por su capacidad para la direccion de actores, este hijo, a su vez, de actores empezo en el cine como ayudante de fotografia, antes de convertirse en director de fotografia. En 1930 empieza a dirigir cortos comicos de la serie “The Boy Friends” para Hal Roach. En 1933, ya en Universal, dirige su primer largometraje, aunque de inmediato pasara a RKO, para la que dirige ya alguna de sus peliculas prestigiosas como las dos protagonizadas por Katharine Hepburn y las dos en las que intervenia Fred Astaire, aunque la mas popular de sus peliculas de la decada fue el clasico de aventuras Gunga Din (1939). El nivel mas alto de prestigio lo alcanzo Stevens en la primera mitad de la decada de los 50 con tres filmes casi consecutivos, Un lugar en el Sol (A Place in the Sun, 1951), Raices profundas (Shane, 1953) y Gigante (Giant, 1956), las dos primeras producidas por Paramount, y la ultima por Warner Bros. Por la primera y la tercera recibio Stevens sendos Oscar de Hollywood. No se puede negar su acierto, aunque parcial, en la realizacion de una parte importante de las peliculas de Stevens, sin embargo, despues de contemplarlas le queda siempre al espectador avisado cierto poso de insatisfaccion, mas acusado en Gigante y casi imperceptible en Raices profundas, sin duda uno de los westerns mas famosos de la historia del cine, con un guion modelico, donde la famosa buena mano del realizador en la direccion de actores se justifica plenamente. Peli cula de atmosfera pero tambien con carga ideologica, Raices profundas es un western brillante.Annie Oakley. 1935. 92 minutos. Blanco y Negro. RKO.

[br]b. 4 November 1906 Ogden, Utah, USAd. 18 January 1973 Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA[br]American psychophysicist, proponent of " Stevens Law" of sensory magnitude, and developer of the technology of hearing and acoustics.[br]Of Mormon origins, Stevens graduated PhD in physiology from Harvard in 1933. After a further fellowship in physiology and a research fellowship in physics, he became an instructor in experimental psychology. At the beginning of the Second World War he founded the PsychoAcoustic Laboratory at Harvard, which grew into the Laboratory of Psychophysics, and in 1962 he became the first Professor of Psychophysics.Originally his research concentrated on sound and communication, but it later enlarged to embrace the whole range of sensory phenomena. It was his earlier studies that established the law relating sensory magnitude to stimulus magnitude. His studies of the loudness scale and its relationship to the decibel scale were significant in the development of the electronic hearing aid.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsNational Academy of Sciences 1946.
