81 Wolfram
Deposits of the mineral wolfram or tungsten ore are found in central and northern Portugal. Essential for the war industry, for hardening steel in aircraft, tanks, small arms, artillery, and ammunition, wolfram played an unexpectedly important part in Portugal's economy and society during World War II when the belligerents sought large supplies of it. Nazi Germany had its principal supplies of wolfram in Asia, until its invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 cut off these supply routes. Thereafter, Germany sought to acquire wolfram in Spain and Portugal, which between them possessed the largest wolfram deposits in Europe.Wolfram had been mined in Portugal since 1900, in the mountainous Beira Alta province. As of 3 September 1939, when Portugal declared its neutrality, most of the wolfram mines were owned by British and American firms, but the post-1941 wartime demand for it had an impact on Portugal's economy, finance, and neutrality. Although the Allies could obtain most of their tungsten ore in North America, Germany came to depend on exports from wolfram mines in Portugal and Spain. To obtain more wolfram supplies, Germany arranged to purchase wolfram mines, as well as to purchase and import wolfram from mines owned by Portuguese investors. To thwart the German wolfram program, the British and Americans launched an extensive wolfram preemption program that cost more than $US1 billion during the period from 1942 to 1944.The booming wolfram industry had a significant, if brief, impact on the poor, rural regions where the mines were located, and there was increased income and employment. Wolfram revenues for Portugal also affected its position as a debtor to ally Britain and, by the end of the war, Britain owed Portugal more than 90 million pounds for war-related products and services. After the war, this windfall enabled Portugal to upgrade its merchant marine fleet. Complex diplomatic negotiations between Portugal and both sets of belligerents ensued, and "the wolfram question" represented a foreign policy nightmare for Prime Minister Antônio de Oliveira Salazar. On 6 June 1944, Salazar came to a controversial decision about wolfram. In what was hoped to be perceived as an even-handed new policy, to satisfy both the Allies and the Axis, Portugal decreed a halt to the wolfram industry for the remainder of the war. Thus, within a few weeks, the wolfram mines were closed, and all mining, sales, and export of the mineral ceased. It was not until the 1950s that wolfram mines reopened. However, the industry gradually declined and, at present, wolfram mining and production is relatively small. -
82 Anthemios of Tralles
SUBJECT AREA: Architecture and building[br]fl. sixth century AD Tralles, Lydia, Asia Minor[br]Greek architect, geometer, mathematician and physicist.[br]Tralles was a wealthy city in ancient Greece. Ruins of the city are situated on a plateau above the present-day Turkish city of Aydin, in Asia Minor, which is near to Ephesus. In 334 BC Tralles was used as a base by Alexander the Great and later it was occupied by the Romans. After the collapse of the western half of the Roman Empire in the fifth century AD Tralles remained a part of the Byzantine Empire until its destruction in 1282. Anthemios was one of the great sons of Tralles and was probably educated in Alexandria. He is especially famed as architect (with Isodorus of Miletos) of the great Church of Santa Sophia in Istanbul. This vast building, later a Turkish mosque and now a museum, was built for the Emperor Justinian between 532 and 537 AD. It was an early and, certainly for many centuries, the largest example of pendentive construction to support a dome. This form, using the spherical triangles of the pendentives, enabled a circular-based dome to be supported safely upon piers that stood on a square plan below. It gradually replaced the earlier squinch type of structure, though both forms of design stem from Middle Eastern origins. At Santa Sophia the dome rises to 180ft (55m) above floor level and has a diameter of over 100ft (30m). Together with Isodorus, Anthemios also worked upon the Church of the Holy Apostles in Istanbul.[br]Further ReadingG.L.Huxley, 1959, Anthemius of Tralles: A Study in Later Greek Geometry, Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press.Procopius, 1913, De Aedificiis, On the Buildings Constructed by the Emperor Justinian, Leipzig.Richard Krautheimer, 1965, Early Christian and Byzantine Architcture, Penguin.DY -
83 Champion, Nehemiah
SUBJECT AREA: Metallurgy[br]b. 1678 probably Bristol, Englandd. 9 September 1747 probably Bristol, England[br]English merchant and brass manufacturer of Bristol.[br]Several members of Champion's Quaker family were actively engaged as merchants in Bristol during the late seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries. Port records show Nehemiah in receipt of Cornish copper ore at Bristol's Crews Hole smelting works by 1706, in association with the newly formed brassworks of the city. He later became a leading partner, managing the company some time after Abraham Darby left the Bristol works to pursue his interest at Coalbrookdale. Champion, probably in company with his father, became the largest customer for Darby's Coalbrookdale products and also acted as Agent, at least briefly, for Thomas Newcomen.A patent in 1723 related to two separate innovations introduced by the brass company.The first improved the output of brass by granulating the copper constituent and increasing its surface area. A greater proportion of zinc vapour could permeate the granules compared with the previous practice, resulting in the technique being adopted generally in the cementation process used at the time. The latter part of the same patent introduced a new type of coal-fired furnace which facilitated annealing in bulk so replacing the individual processing of pieces. The principle of batch annealing was generally adopted, although the type of furnace was later improved. A further patent, in 1739, in the name of Nehemiah, concerned overshot water-wheels possibly intended for use in conjunction with the Newcomen atmospheric pumping engine employed for recycling water by his son William.Champion's two sons, John and William, and their two sons, both named John, were all concerned with production of non-ferrous metals and responsible for patented innovations. Nehemiah, shortly before his death, is believed to have partnered William at the Warmley works to exploit his son's new patent for producing metallic zinc.[br]Bibliography1723, British patent no. 454 (granulated copper technique and coal-fired furnace). 1739, British patent no. 567 (overshot water-wheels).Further ReadingA.Raistrick, 1950, Quakers in Science and Industry, London: Bannisdale Press (for the Champion family generally).J.Day, 1973, Bristol Brass, a History of the Industry, Newton Abbot: David \& Charles (for the industrial activities of Nehemiah).JD -
84 Chaudron, Joseph
SUBJECT AREA: Mining and extraction technology[br]b. 29 November 1822 Gosselies, Belgiumd. 16 January 1905 Auderghem, Belgium[br]Belgian mining engineer, pioneer in boring shafts.[br]In 1842, as a graduate of the Ecole des Mines in Liège, he became a member of the Belgian Corps Royal des Mines, which he left ten years later as Chief Engineer. By that time he had become decisively influential in the Société Anglo-Belge des Mines du Rhin, founded in 1848. After it became the Gelsenkirchen-based Bergwerkgesellschaft Dahlbusch in 1873, he became President of its Board of Directors and remained in this position until his death. Thanks to his outstanding technical and financial abilities, the company developed into one of the largest in the Ruhr coal district.When K.G. Kind practised his shaft-boring for the company in the early 1850s but did not overcome the difficulty of making the bottom of the bore-hole watertight, Chaudron joined forces with him to solve the problem and constructed a rotary heading which was made watertight with a box stuffed with moss; rings of iron tubing were placed on this as the sinking progressed, effectively blocking off the aquiferous strata as a result of the hydrostatic pressure which helped support the weight of the tubing until it was secured permanently. The Kind-Chaudron system of boring shafts in the full section marked an important advance upon existing methods, and was completely applied for the first time at a coalmine near Mons, Belgium, in 1854–6. In Brussels Chaudron and Kind founded the Société de Fonçage par le Procédé Kind et Chaudron in 1854, and Chaudron was granted a patent the next year. Foreign patents followed and the Kind-Chaudron system was the one most frequently applied in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Altogether, under Chaudron's control, there were more than eighty shafts sunk in wet strata in Germany, Belgium, France and England.[br]Bibliography1853–4, "Notice sur le procédé inventé par l'ingénieur Kind, pour l"établissement des puits de mines', Annales des travaux publics de Belgique 12:327–38.1862, "Über die nach dem Kindschen Erdbohrverfahren in Belgien ausgefùhrten Schachtbohrarbeiten", Berg-und Hüttenmännische Zeitschrift 21:402−7, 419−21, 444−7.1867, "Notice sur les travaux exécutés en France, en Belgique et en Westphalie de 1862– 1867", Annales des travaux publics de Belgique 25: 136–45.1872, "Remplacement d'un cuvelage en bois par un cuvelage en fonte", Annales destravaux publics de Belgique 30:77–91.Further ReadingD.Hoffmann, 1962, Acht Jahrzehnte Gefrierverfahren nachPötsch, Essen, pp. 12–18 (evaluates the Kind-Chaudron system as a new era).W.Kesten, 1952, Geschichte der Bergwerksgesellschaft Dahlbusch, Essen (gives a delineation of the mining company's flourishing as well as the technical measures under his influence).T.Tecklenburg, 1914, Handbuch der Tiefbohrkunde, 2nd edn, Vol VI, Berlin, pp. 39–58 (provides a detailed description of Chaudron's tubing).WK -

SUBJECT AREA: Mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic engineering[br]b. 5 September 1866 Leicester, Englandd. 26 May 1957 Kings Somborne, Hampshire, England[br]English mechanical engineer and machine-tool manufacturer.[br]Alfred Herbert was educated at Stoneygate School, Leicester, and served an apprenticeship with Joseph Jessop \& Sons, also of Leicester, from 1881 to 1886. In 1887 he was engaged as Manager of a small engineering firm in Coventry, and before the end of that year he purchased the business in partnership with William Hubbard. They commenced the manufacture of machine-tools especially for the cycle industry. Hubbard withdrew from the partnership in 1890 and Herbert continued on his own account, the firm being established as a limited liability company, Alfred Herbert Ltd, in 1894. A steady expansion of the business continued, especially after the introduction of their capstan lathe, and by 1914 it was the largest manufacturer of machine-tools in Britain. In addition to making machine-tools of all types for the home and export market, the firm acted as an agent for the import of specialist machine-tools from abroad. During the First World War Alfred Herbert was in 1915 appointed head of machine-tool production at the War Office and when the Ministry of Munitions was set up he was transferred to that Ministry as Controller of Machine Tools. He was President of the Machine Tools Trades Association from 1919 to 1934. He was elected a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 1892 and in 1921 was a founder member of the Institution of Production Engineers. Almost to the end of his long life he continued to take an active part in the direction of his company. He expressed his views on current events affecting industry in the technical press and in his firm's house journal.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsKBE 1917.

86 Mallet, Jules Théodore Anatole
[br]b. 1837 Geneva, Switzerlandd. November 1919 Nice, France[br]Swiss engineer, inventor of the compound steam locomotive and the Mallet articulated locomotive.[br]Mallet's family moved to Normandy while he was still a child. After working as a civil engineer, in 1867 he turned to machinery, particularly to compound steam engines. He designed the first true compound steam locomotives, which were built for the Bayonne- Biarritz Railway in 1876. They were 0–4–2 tank locomotives with one high-pressure and one low-pressure cylinder. A starting valve controlled by the driver admitted high-pressure steam to the low-pressure cylinder while the high-pressure cylinder exhausted to the atmosphere. At that time it was thought impracticable in a narrow-gauge locomotive to have more than three coupled axles in rigid frames. Mallet patented his system of articulation in 1884 and the first locomotives were built to that design in 1888: they were 0–4–4–0 tanks with two sets of frames. The two rear pairs of wheels carried the rear set of frames and were driven by two high-pressure cylinders; the two front pairs, which were driven by the high-pressure cylinders, carried a separate set of frames that was allowed sideplay, with a centre of rotation between the low-pressure cylinders. In contrast to the patent locomotive of Robert Fairlie, no flexible connections were required to carry steam at boiler pressure. The first Mallet articulated locomotives were small, built to 60 cm (23.6 in.) gauge: the first standard-gauge Mallets were built in 1890, for the St Gotthard Railway, and it was only after the type was adopted by American railways in 1904 that large Mallet locomotives were built, with sizes increasing rapidly to culminate in some of the largest steam locomotives ever produced. In the late 1880s Mallet also designed monorail locomotives, which were built for the system developed by C.F.M.-T. Lartigue.[br]Bibliography1884, French patent no. 162,876 (articulated locomotive).Further ReadingJ.T.van Riemsdijk, 1970, "The compound locomotive, Part I", Transactions of the Newcomen Society 43 (describes Mallet's work on compounding).L.Wiener, 1930, Articulated Locomotives, London: Constable (describes his articulated locomotives).For the Mallet family, see Historisch-Biographisches Lexikon der Schweiz.PJGRBiographical history of technology > Mallet, Jules Théodore Anatole

87 Stanier, Sir William Arthur
[br]b. 27 May 1876 Swindon, Englandd. 27 September 1965 London, England[br]English Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London Midland \& Scottish Railway, the locomotive stock of which he modernized most effectively.[br]Stanier's career started when he was Office Boy at the Great Western Railway's Swindon works. He was taken on as a pupil in 1892 and steady promotion elevated him to Works Manager in 1920, under Chief Mechanical Engineer George Churchward. In 1923 he became Principal Assistant to Churchward's successor, C.B.Collett. In 1932, at the age of 56 and after some forty years' service with the Great Western Railway (GWR), W.A.Stanier was appointed Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London Midland \& Scottish Railway (LMS). This, the largest British railway, had been formed by the amalgamation in 1923 of several long-established railways, including the London \& North Western and the Midland, that had strong and disparate traditions in locomotive design. A coherent and comprehensive policy had still to emerge; Stanier did, however, inherit a policy of reducing the number of types of locomotives, in the interest of economy, by the withdrawal and replacement of small classes, which had originated with constituent companies.Initially as replacements, Stanier brought in to the LMS a series of highly successful standard locomotives; this practice may be considered a development of that of G.J.Churchward on the GWR. Notably, these new locomotives included: the class 5, mixed-traffic 4–6–0; the 8F heavy-freight 2–8–0; and the "Duchess" 4–6–2 for express passenger trains. Stanier also built, in 1935, a steam-turbine-driven 4–6–2, which became the only steam-turbine locomotive in Britain to have an extended career in regular service, although the economies it provided were insufficient for more of the type to be built. From 1932–3 onwards, and initially as part of a programme to economize on shunting costs by producing a single-manned locomotive, the LMS started to develop diesel shunting locomotives. Stanier delegated much of the responsibility for these to C.E.Fairburn. From 1939 diesel-electric shunting locomotives were being built in quantity for the LMS: this was the first instance of adoption of diesel power on a large scale by a British main-line railway. In a remarkably short time, Stanier transformed LMS locomotive stock, formerly the most backward of the principal British railways, to the point at which it was second to none. He was seconded to the Government as Scientific Advisor to the Ministry of Production in 1942, and retired two years later.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsKnighted 1943. FRS 1944.

↑ VerbФорма страдательного залога употребляется в предложении, подлежащим которого является предмет, на который направлено действие, выраженное глаголом. Таким образом, объект глагола в активном залоге соответствует подлежащему глагола в страдательном залоге (ср. My uncle made this table — Мой дядя сделал этот стул и This table was made by my uncle — Этот стол сделал мой дядя).а) Форма страдательного залога образуется по схеме be + Past participle. Вспомогательный глагол be может употребляться в форме различных времен, а также в форме инфинитива или причастия настоящего времени. Исключения составляют времена Future continuous, Present perfect continuous и Past perfect continuous, отсутствующие в страдательном залоге. Вместо этих форм употребляются времена Future simple, Present perfect или Past perfect, соответственно, или используется конструкция в действительном залоге.She cooked the food last night — Она приготовила еду прошлым вечером( глагол cook употреблен в действительном залоге времени Past simple).
The food was cooked last night — Еду готовили прошлым вечером (глагол cook употреблен в страдательном залоге времени Past simple).

Обычно эта конструкция используется в том случае, если объект, выраженный подлежащим, подвергается действию неконтролируемых им сил, часто неблагоприятному, либо сам прилагает усилия к тому, чтобы направленное на него, но выгодное ему действие осуществилось. Кроме того, эта конструкция может иметь возвратное значение (действие над объектом, выраженным подлежащим, осуществляется им самим)Nothing is more frustrating than pulling your new Ferrari off the showroom floor and getting stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic — Что может быть неприятнее, чем вывести свой новый "феррари" с подиума в выставочном зале и оказаться зажатым в уличной пробке
You won't get elected unless you decide to run a very active campaign — Нельзя добиться того, чтобы тебя избрали, если не решиться на проведение активной кампании
I asked if I could get dressed first because I was still naked except for my underwear — Я попросил разрешения сперва одеться, так как я все еще не имел на себе ничего, кроме нижнего белья
2)а) При образовании общих вопросительных форм страдательного залога первый вспомогательный глагол (в том числе be) ставится перед подлежащимб) При образовании отрицательных форм страдательного залога частица not ставится после первого вспомогательного глагола (в том числе be)They weren't seen — Их не видели
3) В английском языке, как и в русском, форму страдательного залога образуют переходные глаголы (см. Transitive and intransitive verbs). Непереходные глаголы (не имеющие дополнения, например, sleep - спать, die - умирать) употребляются только в действительном залоге. Также в страдательном залоге не употребляются переходные глаголы, выражающие постоянное состояние или отношение (например, have - иметь, lack - недоставать, resemble - быть похожим). Однако в английском языке, в отличие от русского, непереходные глаголы, требующие предложного дополнения, могут образовывать форму страдательного залога (при этом предлог остается при глагольной форме)She was looked at with admiration — На нее смотрели с восхищением
4) Субъект действительного оборота может быть выражен дополнением с предлогом by в соответствующем страдательном обороте. Если дополнение, которое могло бы быть подлежащим в конструкции с действительным залогом, называет инструмент или содержимое какого-либо пространства, используется предлог with.The letter was written by John — Письмо было написано Джоном
The letter was wrtitten with a pencil — Письмо было написано карандашом
The bottle was filled with water — Бутылка была заполнена водой
а) В английском языке косвенное дополнение (присоединяемое предлогом to) может также стоять сразу после глагола перед прямым дополнением. В этом случае оно может стать подлежащим пассивного оборота, также как и собственно прямое дополнение. Таким образом, конструкции, в которых косвенное дополнение без предлога стоит перед прямым дополнением, могут пассивизироваться двумя способами. В случае если подлежащим страдательного оборота является косвенное дополнение, прямое дополнение сохраняет свою форму. Если подлежащим является прямое дополнение, косвенное дополнение обычно присоединяется предлогом to, который иногда опускается (в безударном положении)Mary gave John a book (действ.) - John was given a book (страдат. 1) / A book was given to John (страдат. 2) — Джону дали книгу
This story was told (to) me by my mother — Эту историю мне рассказала мать
б) Не все глаголы допускают замену косвенного дополнения с предлогом to беспредложным дополнением, стоящим перед прямым дополнением. Список глаголов, для которых такое преобразование невозможно, см. give me this / give this to me 2.6)а) Глагол, имеющий при себе сложное дополнение (см. Complex object) может принимать форму страдательного залога. В этом случае существительное или местоимение, следующее за глаголом в конструкции с действительным залогом, становится подлежащим страдательного оборота, а инфинитив или причастие, входящие в состав сложного дополнения, сохраняют свою формуОсобенности конструкций со страдательным оборотом и инфинитивом или причастием в качестве дополнения см. Complex subject
б) Глагол say может употребляться в конструкции с инфинитивом только в форме страдательного залога (при этом логическое подлежащее (Logical subject) инфинитива является грамматическим подлежащим глагола say)This town is said to have the largest houses for oxen, cows, and horses hereabouts — Говорят, этот город располагает самыми большими постройками для быков, коров и лошадей в округе
а) Конструкция со страдательным залогом используется, если субъект действия неизвестен, неважен или очевиденб) В английском языке существует тенденция делать подлежащим того участника ситуации, который находится в фокусе внимания и уже известен. Если таким участником является объект действия (или, в некоторых случаях, косвенный объект), то соблюдение данного правила обеспечивается употреблением пассивной конструкцииI saw a boy running in the street. The boy was being pursued by some angry fellows — Я увидел мальчишку, бегущего по улице. За мальчишкой гнались какие-то разгневанные люди
в) Страдательный оборот часто используется в случае, если субъект действия выражен распространенной именной группой, так как такие группы предпочтительно помещать в конец предложения, а не на место подлежащегоShe was surprised by his refusal to take part in her party — Ее удивил его отказ прийти к ней на вечеринку
8) Сочетание Present, Past и Future Simple глагола be с past participle могут иметь два значения: действие и состояние. Первое описывает то, что происходит, происходило или будет происходить с объектом, а второе указывает на состояние объекта. В первом случае сочетание be + past participle представляет собой одно из времен страдательного залога, во втором be является связкой, а past participle — частью составного глагольного сказуемого (Past participle сближается в этом случае по значению с прилагательным).The houses are built rather quickly these days — Дома в наше время строятся довольно быстро ( действие)
Her quiet was broken by the noise of someone entering the house — Ее покой был нарушен шумом, вызванным тем, что кто-то вошел в дом ( действие)
The engineer agreed the phone was broken and instructed his mate to bring it for repairs — Инженер признал, что телефон сломан, и приказал своему помощнику принести его для ремонта ( состояние)
