81 Booth, Hubert Cecil
SUBJECT AREA: Civil engineering, Domestic appliances and interiors, Mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic engineering, Ports and shipping[br]b. 1871 Gloucester, England d. 1955[br]English mechanical, civil and construction engineer best remembered as the inventor of the vacuum cleaner.[br]As an engineer Booth contributed to the design of engines for Royal Navy battleships, designed and supervised the erection of a number of great wheels (in Blackpool, Vienna and Paris) and later designed factories and bridges.In 1900 he attended a demonstration, at St Paneras Station in London, of a new form of railway carriage cleaner that was supposed to blow the dirt into a container. It was not a very successful experiment and Booth, having considered the problem carefully, decided that sucking might be better than blowing. He tried out his idea by placing a piece of damp cloth over an upholstered armchair. When he sucked air by mouth through his cloth the dirt upon it was tangible proof of his theory.Various attempts were being made at this time, especially in America, to find a successful cleaner of carpets and upholstery. Booth produced the first truly satisfactory machine, which he patented in 1901, and coined the term "vacuum cleaner". He formed the Vacuum Cleaner Co. (later to become Goblin BVC Ltd) and began to manufacture his machines. For some years the company provided a cleaning service to town houses, using a large and costly vacuum cleaner (the first model cost £350). Painted scarlet, it measured 54×10×42 in. (137×25×110 cm) and was powered by a petrol-driven 5 hp piston engine. It was transported through the streets on a horse-driven van and was handled by a team of operators who parked outside the house to be cleaned. With the aid of several hundred feet of flexible hose extending from the cleaner through the windows into all the rooms, the machine sucked the dirt of decades from the carpets; at the first cleaning the weight of many such carpets was reduced by 50 per cent as the dirt was sucked away.Many attempts were made in Europe and America to produce a smaller and less expensive machine. Booth himself designed the chief British model in 1906, the Trolley- Vac, which was wheeled around the house on a trolley. Still elaborate, expensive and heavy, this machine could, however, be operated inside a room and was powered from an electric light fitting. It consisted of a sophisticated electric motor and a belt-driven rotary vacuum pump. Various hoses and fitments made possible the cleaning of many different surfaces and the dust was trapped in a cloth filter within a small metal canister. It was a superb vacuum cleaner but cost 35 guineas and weighed a hundredweight (50 kg), so it was difficult to take upstairs.Various alternative machines that were cheaper and lighter were devised, but none was truly efficient until a prototype that married a small electric motor to the machine was produced in 1907 in America.[br]Further ReadingThe Story of the World's First Vacuum Cleaner, Leatherhead: BSR (Housewares) Ltd.

n. m.1. 'Turnip', fob-watch.2. Arsehole, anus. L'avoir dans l'oignon: To have been 'conned', 'diddled', to have been duped. Quand il a repris son fric, c'est nous qu'on l'a eu dans l'oignon: It really fucked us up when he withdrew his subsidies!3. Luck, good fortune. Avoir de l'oignon: To have the luck of the devil. (Expressions such as avoir l'oignon qui décalotte, synonymous with the previous one, tend to emphasize what Albert Simonin states in his NOUVEAU DICTIONNAIRE DE L'ARGOT, namely the link between sodomy and good fortune. Simonin is of the opinion that many successes can be linked to past homosexual liaisons. A similar bias can be found in cocu; see that word.)4. En rang d'oignons: In a neat row. On avait l'air vraiment fin là, tous en rang d'oignons! There we were standing like a neat row of dummies! (It would appear that the expression comes from the language of the vegetable garden, and usually refers to people.)5. Ce n'est pas (also: ce ne sont pas) mes oignons! It's none of my business! Je fais ce qui me plaît, c'est mes oignons! What I do is my business! Occupe-toi de tes oignons! Keep your nose out of it!6. Aux petits oignons: 'First-rate', 'smashing', superb.

Course à l'oignon: Act of chucking someone out by the scruff of his neck and the seat of his pants.9.

ГРЕСТИ (ЗАГРЕБАТЬ) ЛОПАТОЙ деньги, золото, серебро coll VP subj: human to make a lot of moneyX гребёт деньги лопатой = X makes money hand over fistX rakes in (up) the money X makes big bucks.(Лапшин:) Они тут в Москве деньги-то лопатами гребут (Розов 2). (L.:) These Moscow folk, they make money hand over fist (2a).(Фома) Лесков рвал налево и направо: выколачивал пайки, топливо... что-то продавал, что-то выменивал, а в результате стол у них, и не по-военному сытный, не оскудевал. Петра Васильевича (Лашкова), правда, коробила эта не по их скромным нуждам предприимчивость напарника, он временами ворчал и нудился, хотя... молчал. Но когда тот заикнулся было о пассажирах-беженцах, с них, мол, лопатой грести можно, (Лашков) отказал наотрез... (Максимов 3). (Foma) Leskov stole things right and left: rustled up extra rations and fuel...sold this and swapped that, and as a result their larder was fuller than it should have been in wartime and never looked any worse than usual. True, his mate's resourcefulness, which far exceeded their modest needs, gave Pyotr Vasilievich (Lashkov) some qualms-he muttered and sulked occasionally, but he didn't speak up. Not until Foma started dropping hints about passengers-you could simply rake in the money from refugees, he said. Here Lashkov peremptorily refused (3a).Построили санаторий, целебные воды, роскошный климат, деньги греби лопатой. Сюда из столицы ездили...» (Стругацкие 1). "We build the health resort-healing waters, superb climate-go rake up the money, it's yours. People used to come here from the capital" (1a). -
