63 from pillar to post
(from pillar to post (первонач. from post to pillar))1) с места на место, взад-вперёд [этим. спорт. (старинная игра типа тенниса)]I'm gettin' purty [= pretty] old to be knocked around from pillar t' post and nobody t' take care of me. (J. Conroy, ‘The Disinherited’, part II, ch. VI) — Стар я становлюсь, чтобы так мотаться с места на место в поисках ночлега. И позаботиться обо мне некому.
I've got accustomed to knocking about from pillar to post. For the past twenty years I've been first here, next there, and then some place else. (E. Caldwell, ‘Journeyman’, ch. V) — Я привык болтаться по белу свету. За последние двадцать лет где я только не побывал.
As a youth, Oliver... "got kicked from pillar to post" because he had the misfortune to be Burton's firstborn and prime competitor. (A. Sillitoe, ‘Raw Material’, ch. 15) — Когда Оливер был мальчишкой... ему пришлось переезжать с места на место, так как он имел несчастье быть первенцем Бертона и его главным конкурентом.
2) с одной работы на другую; из одной инстанции в другую и т. п.The man was so badgered, and worried by being knocked about from post to pillar, and from pillar to post. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Bleak House’, ch. XXIV) — Человек этот был затравлен и измучен: в судебных инстанциях им перебрасывались, как теннисным мячом.
Jimmie's sense of loyalty was not to his country, but to his class, which had been exploited, hounded, driven from pillar to post. (U. Sinclair, ‘Jimmie Higgins’, ch. XII) — Джимми предан не родине, а классу рабочих, которых эксплуатируют, преследуют, гоняют с места на место.
But mines were being bought and sold and managements changing hands quickly. Alf found himself battered from pillar to post never sure from one day to the next who his directors were going to be, or when his services would be dispensed with. (K. S. Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 52) — Но рудники постоянно переходили из рук в руки. Новые хозяева брали себе новых управляющих. Альф чувствовал, что почва уплывает у него из-под ног; он никогда не знал, кому будет служить завтра и не откажутся ли в конце концов от его услуг.
3) от одной трудности к другой, от одного испытания к другомуIt is quite clear that the Minister of Education has been pushed from pillar to post by the Treasury dwarfs and is wasting his time in the Cabinet. (‘The Daily Telegraph and Morning Post’, Suppl) — Совершенно ясно, что министр просвещения мечется, не зная, что дальше делать. Он только зря теряет время в кабинете министров, и повинны в этом "гномы" из министерства финансов.

78 Preece, Sir William Henry
[br]b. 15 February 1834 Bryn Helen, Gwynedd, Walesd. 6 November 1913 Penrhos, Gwynedd, Wales[br]Welsh electrical engineer who greatly furthered the development and use of wireless telegraphy and the telephone in Britain, dominating British Post Office engineering during the last two decades of the nineteenth century.[br]After education at King's College, London, in 1852 Preece entered the office of Edwin Clark with the intention of becoming a civil engineer, but graduate studies at the Royal Institution under Faraday fired his enthusiasm for things electrical. His earliest work, as connected with telegraphy and in particular its application for securing the safe working of railways; in 1853 he obtained an appointment with the Electric and National Telegraph Company. In 1856 he became Superintendent of that company's southern district, but four years later he moved to telegraph work with the London and South West Railway. From 1858 to 1862 he was also Engineer to the Channel Islands Telegraph Company. When the various telegraph companies in Britain were transferred to the State in 1870, Preece became a Divisional Engineer in the General Post Office (GPO). Promotion followed in 1877, when he was appointed Chief Electrician to the Post Office. One of the first specimens of Bell's telephone was brought to England by Preece and exhibited at the British Association meeting in 1877. From 1892 to 1899 he served as Engineer-in-Chief to the Post Office. During this time he made a number of important contributions to telegraphy, including the use of water as part of telegraph circuits across the Solent (1882) and the Bristol Channel (1888). He also discovered the existence of inductive effects between parallel wires, and with Fleming showed that a current (thermionic) flowed between the hot filament and a cold conductor in an incandescent lamp.Preece was distinguished by his administrative ability, some scientific insight, considerable engineering intuition and immense energy. He held erroneous views about telephone transmission and, not accepting the work of Oliver Heaviside, made many errors when planning trunk circuits. Prior to the successful use of Hertzian waves for wireless communication Preece carried out experiments, often on a large scale, in attempts at wireless communication by inductive methods. These became of historic interest only when the work of Maxwell and Hertz was developed by Guglielmo Marconi. It is to Preece that credit should be given for encouraging Marconi in 1896 and collaborating with him in his early experimental work on radio telegraphy.While still employed by the Post Office, Preece contributed to the development of numerous early public electricity schemes, acting as Consultant and often supervising their construction. At Worcester he was responsible for Britain's largest nineteenth-century public hydro-electric station. He received a knighthood on his retirement in 1899, after which he continued his consulting practice in association with his two sons and Major Philip Cardew. Preece contributed some 136 papers and printed lectures to scientific journals, ninety-nine during the period 1877 to 1894.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsCB 1894. Knighted (KCB) 1899.

80 Marconi, Marchese Guglielmo
[br]b. 25 April 1874 Bologna, Italyd. 20 July 1937 Rome, Italy[br]Italian radio pioneer whose inventiveness and business skills made radio communication a practical proposition.[br]Marconi was educated in physics at Leghorn and at Bologna University. An avid experimenter, he worked in his parents' attic and, almost certainly aware of the recent work of Hertz and others, soon improved the performance of coherers and spark-gap transmitters. He also discovered for himself the use of earthing and of elevated metal plates as aerials. In 1895 he succeeded in transmitting telegraphy over a distance of 2 km (1¼ miles), but the Italian Telegraph authority rejected his invention, so in 1896 he moved to England, where he filed the first of many patents. There he gained the support of the Chief Engineer of the Post Office, and by the following year he had achieved communication across the Bristol Channel.The British Post Office was also slow to take up his work, so in 1897 he formed the Wireless Telegraph \& Signal Company to work independently. In 1898 he sold some equipment to the British Army for use in the Boer War and established the first permanent radio link from the Isle of Wight to the mainland. In 1899 he achieved communication across the English Channel (a distance of more than 31 miles or 50 km), the construction of a wireless station at Spezia, Italy, and the equipping of two US ships to report progress in the America's Cup yacht race, a venture that led to the formation of the American Marconi Company. In 1900 he won a contract from the British Admiralty to sell equipment and to train operators. Realizing that his business would be much more successful if he could offer his customers a complete radio-communication service (known today as a "turnkey" deal), he floated a new company, the Marconi International Marine Communications Company, while the old company became the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company.His greatest achievement occurred on 12 December 1901, when Morse telegraph signals from a transmitter at Poldhu in Cornwall were received at St John's, Newfoundland, a distance of some 2,100 miles (3,400 km), with the use of an aerial flown by a kite. As a result of this, Marconi's business prospered and he became internationally famous, receiving many honours for his endeavours, including the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1909. In 1904, radio was first used to provide a daily bulletin at sea, and in 1907 a transatlantic wireless telegraphy service was inaugurated. The rescue of 1,650 passengers from the shipwreck of SS Republic in 1909 was the first of many occasions when wireless was instrumental in saving lives at sea, most notable being those from the Titanic on its maiden voyage in April 1912; more lives would have been saved had there been sufficient lifeboats. Marconi was one of those who subsequently pressed for greater safety at sea. In 1910 he demonstrated the reception of long (8 km or 5 miles) waves from Ireland in Buenos Aires, but after the First World War he began to develop the use of short waves, which were more effectively reflected by the ionosphere. By 1918 the first link between England and Australia had been established, and in 1924 he was awarded a Post Office contract for short-wave communication between England and the various parts of the British Empire.With his achievements by then recognized by the Italian Government, in 1915 he was appointed Radio-Communications Adviser to the Italian armed forces, and in 1919 he was an Italian delegate to the Paris Peace Conference. From 1921 he lived on his yacht, the Elettra, and although he joined the Fascist Party in 1923, he later had reservations about Mussolini.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsNobel Prize for Physics (jointly with K.F.
