  • 92 Slop

    A body garment. A jacket or cassock cut so short that it exposed the tight-fitting parti-coloured hose. In the time of Henry VII women were directed to wear " sloppers " for mourning. In Henry VIII's time is mentioned " a pair of white kersie slopps or breeches." " Slop " has also been given to a shoe, and " a night gowne." In Lincolnshire the term Sliver (formerly sliving) signifies " a short slop worn by bankers or navigators, the sliving was exceedingly capacious and wide." A loose-fitting washable garment to protect workers' other clothes from stains or damage, e.g., painter's slops.

  • 93 σπίζω

    Grammatical information: v.
    Meaning: of birds `to squeak, to chirp' (Arat., Thphr.).
    Derivatives: Beside it σπίζα f. `common chaffinch' (S. Fr. 431, Arist., Timo) with σπιζία τὰ ὄρνεα ἅπαντα H.; σπιζ-ίας m. `sparrow hawk' (Arist.), = εἶδος ἱέρακος H., - ίτης m. (Arist.), = εἶδος αἰγιθάλου ὀρνέου H. (Redard 84); ὀρό-σπιζος m. `brambling' (Arist.).
    Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Eur.
    Etymology: With σπίζω cf. τρίζω a. o., to which σπίζα. The form σπίνος has perh. assimilated itself to the adj. σπινός `meager', as Swed. spink as birdname cannot be separated from spink(e) `meager man', spink `scrap'. The other forms including σπίζω, σπίζα can, with the exception of πίγγαν, be derived from a common σπιγγ-, so that they differ only through the anlaut. σ- from the Germanic name of the finch, OHG fincho, OE finc, PGm. *fink(i̯)an-, * finki-. (Here may be adduced with aspiration Skt phiṅgaka- m. `the strangler with forked tail' (Germ.: der gabelschwänziger Würger) (Lex.)). Original sonnection is therefore possible; on the other hand these words were clearly exposed so several associations and following transformations, so that a phonetical and undisturbed genealogy becomes impossible. For Greek one was reminded except of σπινός also of σπιγνόν μικρόν, βραχύ and σπίκανον σπάνιον; s. Persson Beitr. 1, 402 f. (also 1, 266 n. 3) with extensive treatment of the Germanic words and rather quick rejection of a rather obvious onomatop. origin. Details w. lit. in WP. 2, 682 (Pok. 999). - The connection with Germanic may go back to a European substratum word, or a `Wanderwort'; there are no indications for a Pre-Greek word. The variations can in no way be understood.

    [br]
    b. 1842 France
    d. 1888
    [br]
    French doctor, painter and man of letters who pioneered research into colour photography.
    [br]
    A man of considerable intellect, Cros occupied himself with studies of topics as diverse as Sanskrit and the synthesis of precious stones. He was in particular interested in the possibility of colour photography, and deposited an account of his theories in a sealed envelope with the Académie des Sciences on 2 December 1867, with instructions that it should be opened in 1876. Learning of a forthcoming presentation on colour photography by Ducos du Hauron at the Société Française de Photographie, he arranged for the contents of his communication to be published on 25 February 1869 in Les Mondes. At the Société's meeting on 7 May 1869, Cros's letter was read and samples of colour photography from Ducos du Hauron were shown. Both had arrived at similar conclusions: that colour photography was possible with the analysis of colours using negatives exposed through red, green and blue filters, as demonstrated by Clerk Maxwell in 1861. These records could be reproduced by combining positive images produced in blue-green, magenta and yellow pigments or dyes. Cros and Ducos du Hauron had discovered the principle of subtractive colour photography, which is used in the late twentieth century. In 1878 Cros designed the Chromometre, a device for measuring colours by mixing red, green and blue light, and described the device in a paper to the Société Française de Photographie on 10 January 1879. With suitable modification, the device could be used as a viewer for colour photographs, combining red, green and blue positives. In 1880 he patented the principle of imbibition printing, in which dye taken up by a gelatine relief image could be transferred to another support. This principle, which he called hydrotypie, readily made possible the production of three-colour subtractive photographic prints.

  • 96 Fabre, Henri

    SUBJECT AREA: Aerospace
    [br]
    b. 29 November 1882 Marseilles, France
    d. June 1984 France
    [br]
    French engineer, designer of the first seaplane, in which he made the first flight from water.
    [br]
    After obtaining a degree in engineering, Fabre specialized in hydrodynamics. Around 1904 he developed an interest in flying and followed the progress of early French aviators such as Archdeacon, Voisin and Blériot who were experimenting with float-gliders. Fabre carried out many experiments during the following years, including airflow tests on various surfaces and hydrodynamic tests on different designs for floats. He also built a propeller-driven motor car to develop the most efficient design for a propeller. In 1909 he built his first "hydro-aeroplane", but it failed to fly. By March 1910 he built a new float plane which was very different from contemporary French aeroplanes. It was a tail-first (canard) monoplane and had unusual Warren girder spars exposed to the airstream. The engine was a conventional Gnome rotary mounted at the rear of the machine. On 28 March 1910 Fabre, who had no previous experience of flying, decided he was ready to test his hydro-aeroplane. First he made several straight runs to test the planing properties of his three floats, then he made several short hops. In the afternoon Fabre took off from the harbour at La Mède near Marseille before official witnesses: he was able to claim the first flight by a powered seaplane. His hydro-aeroplane is preserved in the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace in Paris.
    Despite several accidents, Fabre continued to improve his design and in October of 1910 Glenn Curtiss, the American designer, visited Fabre to compare notes. A year later Curtiss built the first of his many successful seaplanes. Fabre did not continue as an aircraft designer, but he went on to design and manufacture floats for other people.
