2 Watts, Philip
SUBJECT AREA: Ports and shipping[br]b. 30 May 1846 Portsmouth, Englandd. 15 March 1926 probably London, England[br]English naval architect, shipbuilding manager and ultimately Director of Naval Construction.[br]Since he had a long family connection with the naval base at Portsmouth, it is not surprising that Watts started to serve his apprenticeship there in 1860. He was singled out for advanced training and then in 1866 was one of three young men selected to attend the Royal School of Naval Architecture at South Kensington in London. On completing his training he joined the technical staff, then had a period as a ship overseer before going to assist William Froude for two years, an arrangement which led to a close friendship between Watts and the two Froudes. Some interesting tasks followed: the calculations for HM Armoured Ram Polyphemus; the setting up of a "calculating" section within the Admiralty; and then work as a constructor at Chatham Dockyard. In 1885 the first major change of direction took place: Watts resigned from naval service to take the post of General Manager of the Elswick shipyard of Sir W.G.Armstrong. This was a wonderful opportunity for an enthusiastic and highly qualified man, and Watts rose to the challenge. Elswick produced some of the finest warships at the end of the nineteenth century and its cruisers, such as the Esmeralda of the Chilean Navy, had a legendary name.In 1902 he was recalled to the Navy to succeed Sir William White as Director of Naval Construction (DNC). This was one of the most exciting times ever in warship design and it was during Watts's tenure of the post that the Dreadnought class of battleship was produced, the submarine service was developed and the destroyer fleet reached high levels of performance. It has been said that Watts's distinct achievements as DNC were greater armament per ton displacement, higher speeds and better manoeuvring, greater protection and, almost as important, elegance of appearance. Watt retired in 1912 but remained a consultant to the Admiralty until 1916, and then joined the board of Armstrong Whitworth, on which he served until his death.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsKnighted 1905. FRS 1900. Chairman, Board of Trade's Load Line Committee 1913. Vice-President, Society for Nautical Research (upon its founding), and finally Chairman for the Victory preservation and technical committee. Honorary Vice-President, Institution of Naval Architects 1916. Master of the Worshipful Company of Shipwrights 1915.BibliographyWatts produced many high-quality technical papers, including ten papers to the Institution of Naval Architects.FMW -

4 Watson-Watt, Sir Robert Alexander
[br]b. 13 April 1892 Brechin, Angus, Scotlandd. 6 December 1973 Inverness, Scotland[br]Scottish engineer and scientific adviser known for his work on radar.[br]Following education at Brechin High School, Watson-Watt entered University College, Dundee (then a part of the University of St Andrews), obtaining a BSc in engineering in 1912. From 1912 until 1921 he was Assistant to the Professor of Natural Philosophy at St Andrews, but during the First World War he also held various posts in the Meteorological Office. During. this time, in 1916 he proposed the use of cathode ray oscillographs for radio-direction-finding displays. He joined the newly formed Radio Research Station at Slough when it was opened in 1924, and 3 years later, when it amalgamated with the Radio Section of the National Physical Laboratory, he became Superintendent at Slough. At this time he proposed the name "ionosphere" for the ionized layer in the upper atmosphere. With E.V. Appleton and J.F.Herd he developed the "squegger" hard-valve transformer-coupled timebase and with the latter devised a direction-finding radio-goniometer.In 1933 he was asked to investigate possible aircraft counter-measures. He soon showed that it was impossible to make the wished-for radio "death-ray", but had the idea of using the detection of reflected radio-waves as a means of monitoring the approach of enemy aircraft. With six assistants he developed this idea and constructed an experimental system of radar (RAdio Detection And Ranging) in which arrays of aerials were used to detect the reflected signals and deduce the bearing and height. To realize a practical system, in September 1936 he was appointed Director of the Bawdsey Research Station near Felixstowe and carried out operational studies of radar. The result was that within two years the East Coast of the British Isles was equipped with a network of radar transmitters and receivers working in the 7–14 metre band—the so-called "chain-home" system—which did so much to assist the efficient deployment of RAF Fighter Command against German bombing raids on Britain in the early years of the Second World War.In 1938 he moved to the Air Ministry as Director of Communications Development, becoming Scientific Adviser to the Air Ministry and Ministry of Aircraft Production in 1940, then Deputy Chairman of the War Cabinet Radio Board in 1943. After the war he set up Sir Robert Watson-Watt \& Partners, an industrial consultant firm. He then spent some years in relative retirement in Canada, but returned to Scotland before his death.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsKnighted 1942. CBE 1941. FRS 1941. US Medal of Merit 1946.

У меня ушло много времени, пока я переварил эту новость. The technical name for it is a bit of a mouthful. Это такое техническое название, что язык сломишь/никак не выговоришь. - ср. русское "дикция" - полон рот каши; говорить с набитым ртом. We were chewing over what they had told us. Мы долго пережёвывали, что они нам сказали. It is a rather indigestible book. Это абсолютно неудобоваримая книга. The unpalatable truth is that too many schools are still failing their students. Неблаговидная/неблагоприятная правда состоит в том, что до сих пор во многих школах учеников плохо обучают/не готовят к дальнейшему образованию. He spoke bitterly about his family. Он с горечью говорил о своей семье. They made some very acid remarks. Они бросили несколько весьма ядовитых заечаний. Inside the card he found a sugarly poem. Внутри открытки он обнаружил слащавое стихотворение. She swore she'd make them eat their words. Она поклялась, что они еще подавятся своими словами. We sat and chewed the fat all evening. Весь вечер мы сидели и жевали эту жвачкуCHOICE OF WORDS:Язык и речь часто приравниваются к голосам и звукам животных, и образ животного и типичные для него звуки придают специфическую эмоциональную окраску восприятию речи, соответствующую коннотацию слову: He barked out series of orders. Он пролаял/прогавкал еще серию каких-то приказов. "I've so enjoyed our little chat" - she purred. "Как мы чудесно поговорили" - промурлыкала она. They were bleating about how unfair it all was. Они что-то невнятно блеяли/мямлили на тему о том, что все это несправедливо. Ben grunted his agreement. Бен недовольно сквозь зубы прорычал, что соглсен. The other teams were crowing about their victory. Остальные члены команды возбужденно и радостно кричали что-то по поводу своей победы. "What's wrong how? " - he bellowed. "Ну, что там еще? " - проревел он. She was braying about his latest successful sale. Она не уставала без конца вещать о его последней удачной распродаже. /Она все блеяла о его последних успехах в торговле. "You'll never come here again" - she hissed. "Ты здесь больше никогда не появишься" - прошипела она.
