84 England, George
[br]b. 1811 or 1812 Newcastle upon Tyne, Englandd. 4 March 1878 Cannes, France[br]English locomotive builder who built the first locomotives for the narrow-gauge Festiniog Railway.[br]England trained with John Penn \& Sons, marine engine and boilermakers, and set up his own business at Hatcham Iron Works, South London, in about 1840. This was initially a general engineering business and made traversing screw jacks, which England had patented, but by 1850 it was building locomotives. One of these, Little England, a 2–2– 2T light locomotive owing much to the ideas of W.Bridges Adams, was exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and England then prospered, supplying many railways at home and abroad with small locomotives. In 1863 he built two exceptionally small 0–4–0 tank locomotives for the Festiniog Railway, which enabled the latter's Manager and Engineer C.E. Spooner to introduce steam traction on this line with its gauge of just under 2 ft (60 cm). England's works had a reputation for good workmanship, suggesting he inspired loyalty among his employees, yet he also displayed increasingly tyrannical behaviour towards them: the culmination was a disastrous strike in 1865 that resulted in the loss of a substantial order from the South Eastern Railway. From 1866 George England became associated with development of locomotives to the patent of Robert Fairlie, but in 1869 he retired due to ill health and leased his works to a partnership of his son (also called George England), Robert Fairlie and J.S.Fraser under the title of the Fairlie Engine \& Steam Carriage Company. However, George England junior died within a few months, locomotive production ceased in 1870 and the works was sold off two years later.[br]Bibliography1839, British patent no. 8,058 (traversing screw jack).Further ReadingAspects of England's life and work are described in: C.H.Dickson, 1961, "Locomotive builders of the past", Stephenson Locomotive Society Journal, p. 138.A.R.Bennett, 1907, "Locomotive building in London", Railway Magazine, p. 382.R.Weaver, 1983, "English Ponies", Festiniog Railway Magazine (spring): 18.PJGR -

SUBJECT AREA: Photography, film and optics[br]b. early 19th centuryd. 1896 London, England[br]English photographer, inventor of an early focal-plane shutter.[br]England began his distinguished photographic career taking daguerreotype portraits in London in the 1840s. In 1854 he joined the London Stereoscopic Company and became its chief photographer, taking thousands of stereoscopic views all over the world. In 1859 he travelled to America to take views of the Niagara Falls. On returning to Britain he became a freelance photographer, adding to his considerable reputation with a long series of stereoscopic alpine views. He also became interested in panoramic photography and, later, photolithography. England's most important technical innovation was a drop shutter with a horizontal slit sited immediately in front of the plate. Proposed in 1861, this was a crude device, but is usually recognized as the precursor of the modern focal-plane shutter.[br]Further ReadingMichael Aver, 1985, Photographers Encyclopedia International, Vol. I (A-K), Hermance, Switzerland.H.Gernsheim and A.Gernsheim, 1969, The History of Photography, rev. edn, London.JW -
86 England expects...
«Англия ожидает...». 21 октября 1805 г. перед началом Трафальгарского сражения адмирал лорд Нельсон, командующий английским морским флотом, поднял флаг-сигнал: England expects that every man will do his duty (Англия ожидает, что каждый человек исполнит свой долг). Сначала он приказал просигналить England confides (Англия уверена), но сигнальщик, объяснив Нельсону, что слово confides требует семи флагов и отсутствует в официальном наборе сигналов, получил разрешение заменить его на слово expects. (Бюрократизм, кажется, имеет долгую историю.) Есть вымышленная история о том, как капитан одного корабля, увидев этот сигнал, заметил раздражённо: «Зачем этот сигнал? Мы все хорошо знаем, чего ожидает Англия».English-Russian dictionary of expressions > England expects...
