Thames Measurement, also known as Thames Tonnage, is a system for measuring ships and boats. It was created in 1855 as a variation of Builder's Old Measurement by the Royal Thames Yacht Club , and was designed for small vessels, such as yachts .
It was built at the Albert Yard, Cowes, for J.Howard Taylor, who later won the gold medal in the category 3 to 10 tons at the 1900 Olympics. This yacht was authentically restored between 1999 and 2003 by the Cantiere Navale dell'Argentario, in Tuscany, and is the last 19th-century Godinet rater.
Later, King Edward III levied a tax of 3 shillings on each "tun" of imported wine, roughly equivalent to £150 in 2023. [2] At that time a "tun" was a wine container of 252 wine gallons, approx 210 imp gal (955 L) weighing about 2,240 lb (1,020 kg), a weight known today as a long ton or imperial ton. In order to estimate the capacity of a ship ...
If an A Scow takes 1 hour to finish a given course, and a PD Racer takes 2 hours, the handicapped times are: A Scow: 1 hour × 100 / 61.3 = 1.63 hours; PD Racer: 2 hours × 100 / 140 = 1.43 hours; So the PD racer, although it took twice as long to finish the course, would be declared the winner.
Some calculators that had been serviced had dials that were mispositioned by (probably) 3.6 degrees; the gears weren't quite meshed correctly when reassembled. 1960s SCM Marchant calculator. The calculator was very complicated compared to, for example the Friden STW, a machine notable for its relative internal simplicity.
CDMA2000 1X (IS-2000), also known as 1x and 1xRTT, is the core CDMA2000 wireless air interface standard.The designation "1x", meaning 1 times radio transmission technology, indicates the same radio frequency (RF) bandwidth as IS-95: a duplex pair of 1.25 MHz radio channels. 1xRTT almost doubles the capacity of IS-95 by adding 64 more traffic channels to the forward link, orthogonal to (in ...
Here is a sample program that computes the factorial of an integer number from 2 to 69. For 5!, if "5 A" is pressed, it gives the result, 120. Unlike the SR-52, the TI-58 and TI-59 do not have the factorial function built-in, but do support it through the software module which was delivered with the calculator.
The TI-89 runs on a 32-bit microprocessor, the Motorola 68000, which nominally runs at 10 or 12 MHz, [3] depending on the calculator's hardware version. The calculator has 256 kB of RAM , (190 kB of which are available to the user) and 2 MB of flash memory (700 kB of which is available to the user).
