  • 4 flesh and blood

    1. n phr

    ‘It's more than flesh and blood can stand, Frank,’ moaned Beatrice. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Three Fat Women of Antibes’) — - Это выше человеческих сил, Фрэнк, - простонала Беатрис.

    2) человек; живые люди

    Clare: "...I'm not wax - I'm flesh and blood." (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Fugitive’, act II) — Клэр: "...Я не восковая кукла. Я живой человек."

    The editor's room was like a bulletproof cell in which he was impervious to all outside attacks. Then the picture shifted in her mind and she saw it like an armoured tank rolling remorselessly over flesh and blood. But even a tank was vulnerable. (D. Cusack, ‘Black Lightning’, part IV) — Комната редактора напомнила Темпе пуленепробиваемое убежище, безопасное при любых нападениях извне. Затем картина сменилась. Теперь это была не комната, а танк, давящий все живое. Но даже танк уязвим.

    3) конкретное содержание (обыкн. to give flesh and blood to smth., to put flesh and blood on to smth.)

    It is now widely acknowledged that the slave trade wrought terrible damage to the African peoples and their economy... The great value of Mr. Davidson's book is that he attempts to put flesh and blood on to this general thesis, to examine the precise impact of this terrible trade on African society. (‘Daily Worker’) — Широко известно, какой огромный вред причинила работорговля африканским народам и экономике африканских стран... Большим достоинством книги мистера Дэвидсона является умение автора облечь это общее положение в плоть и кровь, показать на конкретных примерах, как повлияла эта ужасная торговля на африканское общество.

    2. adj phr
    полнокровный, полный жизни; облечённый в плоть и кровь

    ‘...the purpose of our journey is to destroy a monster with nine heads.’ ‘Really, sir? Something after the style of the Loch Ness Monster?’ ‘Less tangible than that. I did not refer to a flesh and blood animal, Georges.’ ‘I misunderstood you, sir.’ ‘It would be easier if it were one. There is nothing so intangible to pin down, as the source of a rumour.’ (A. Christie, ‘The Labours of Hercules’, ‘The Lernean Hydra’) — -...цель нашей поездки - уничтожение девятиглавого чудовища. - Неужели, сэр? Наподобие того, что живет в озере Лох-Несс? - Наше труднее изловить. Я говорю не о настоящем звере из плоти и крови, Джорджес. - Значит, я неправильно понял вас, сэр. - Дело обстояло бы гораздо проще, будь это лохнесское чудовище. Нам надо найти, кто распространяет слух. А труднее этого нет ничего на свете.

    It was a flesh and blood performance. — Это был полнокровный спектакль.

  • 13 Clerke, Sir Clement

    SUBJECT AREA: Metallurgy
    [br]
    d. 1693
    [br]
    English entrepreneur responsible, with others, for attempts to introduce coal-fired smelting of lead and, later, of copper.
    [br]
    Clerke, from Launde Abbey in Leicestershire, was involved in early experiments to smelt lead using coal fuel, which was believed to have been located on the Leicestershire-Derbyshire border. Concurrently, Lord Grandison was financing experiments at Bristol for similar purposes, causing the downfall of an earlier unsuccessful patented method before securing his own patent in 1678. In that same year Clerke took over management of the Bristol works, claiming the ability to secure financial return from Grandison's methods. Financial success proved elusive, although the technical problems of adapting the reverberatory furnace to coal fuel appear to have been solved when Clerke was found to have established another lead works nearby on his own account. He was forced to cease work on lead in 1684 in respect of Grandison's patent rights. Clerke then turned to investigations into the coal-fired smelting of other metals and started to smelt copper in coal-fired reverberatory furnaces. By 1688–9 small supplied of merchantable copper were offered for sale in London in order to pay his workers, possibly because of further financial troubles. The practical success of his smelting innovation is widely acknowledged to have been the responsibility of John Coster and, to a smaller extent, Gabriel Wayne, both of whom left Clerke and set up separate works elsewhere. Clerke's son Talbot took over administration of his father's works, which declined still further and closed c. 1693, at about the time of Sir Clement's death. Both Coster and Wayne continued to develop smelting techniques, establishing a new British industry in the smelting of copper with coal.

  • 17 Curr, John

    [br]
    b. 1756 Kyo, near Lanchester, or in Greenside, near Ryton-on-Tyne, Durham, England
    d. 27 January 1823 Sheffield, England
    [br]
    English coal-mine manager and engineer, inventor of flanged, cast-iron plate rails.
    [br]
    The son of a "coal viewer", Curr was brought up in the West Durham colliery district. In 1777 he went to the Duke of Norfolk's collieries at Sheffield, where in 1880 he was appointed Superintendent. There coal was conveyed underground in baskets on sledges: Curr replaced the wicker sledges with wheeled corves, i.e. small four-wheeled wooden wagons, running on "rail-roads" with cast-iron rails and hauled from the coal-face to the shaft bottom by horses. The rails employed hitherto had usually consisted of plates of iron, the flange being on the wheels of the wagon. Curr's new design involved flanges on the rails which guided the vehicles, the wheels of which were unflanged and could run on any hard surface. He appears to have left no precise record of the date that he did this, and surviving records have been interpreted as implying various dates between 1776 and 1787. In 1787 John Buddle paid tribute to the efficiency of the rails of Curr's type, which were first used for surface transport by Joseph Butler in 1788 at his iron furnace at Wingerworth near Chesterfield: their use was then promoted widely by Benjamin Outram, and they were adopted in many other English mines. They proved serviceable until the advent of locomotives demanded different rails.
    In 1788 Curr also developed a system for drawing a full corve up a mine shaft while lowering an empty one, with guides to separate them. At the surface the corves were automatically emptied by tipplers. Four years later he was awarded a patent for using double ropes for lifting heavier loads. As the weight of the rope itself became a considerable problem with the increasing depth of the shafts, Curr invented the flat hemp rope, patented in 1798, which consisted of several small round ropes stitched together and lapped upon itself in winding. It acted as a counterbalance and led to a reduction in the time and cost of hoisting: at the beginning of a run the loaded rope began to coil upon a small diameter, gradually increasing, while the unloaded rope began to coil off a large diameter, gradually decreasing.
    Curr's book The Coal Viewer (1797) is the earliest-known engineering work on railway track and it also contains the most elaborate description of a Newcomen pumping engine, at the highest state of its development. He became an acknowledged expert on construction of Newcomen-type atmospheric engines, and in 1792 he established a foundry to make parts for railways and engines.
    Because of the poor financial results of the Duke of Norfolk's collieries at the end of the century, Curr was dismissed in 1801 despite numerous inventions and improvements which he had introduced. After his dismissal, six more of his patents were concerned with rope-making: the one he gained in 1813 referred to the application of flat ropes to horse-gins and perpendicular drum-shafts of steam engines. Curr also introduced the use of inclined planes, where a descending train of full corves pulled up an empty one, and he was one of the pioneers employing fixed steam engines for hauling. He may have resided in France for some time before his death.
