title: Pogo oscillation

abstract: Pogo oscillation is a self-excited vibration in liquid-propellant rocket engines caused by combustion instability. The unstable combustion results in variations of engine thrust, causing variations of acceleration on the vehicle's flexible structure, which in turn cause variations in propellant pressure and flow rate, closing the self-excitation cycle. The name is a metaphor comparing the longitudinal vibration to the bouncing of a pogo stick. Pogo oscillation places stress on the frame of the vehicle, which in severe cases can be dangerous.

# Pogo oscillation

**Pogo oscillation** is a self-excited vibration in liquid-propellant rocket engines caused by combustion instability. The unstable combustion results in variations of engine thrust, causing variations of acceleration on the vehicle's flexible structure, which in turn cause variations in propellant pressure and flow rate, closing the self-excitation cycle. The name is a metaphor comparing the longitudinal vibration to the bouncing of a pogo stick. Pogo oscillation places stress on the frame of the vehicle, which in severe cases can be dangerous.

## Origin

NASA Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight George Mueller explained Apollo 6's pogo oscillation to a congressional hearing:

> Pogo arises fundamentally because you have thrust fluctuations in the engines. Those are normal characteristics of engines. All engines have what you might call noise in their output because the combustion is not quite uniform, so you have this fluctuation in thrust of the first stage as a normal characteristic of all engine burning.
>
> Now, in turn, the engine is fed through a pipe that takes the fuel out of the tanks and feeds it into the engine. That pipe's length is something like an organ pipe so it has a certain resonance frequency of its own and it really turns out that it will oscillate just like an organ pipe does.
>
> The structure of the vehicle is much like a tuning fork, so if you strike it right, it will oscillate up and down longitudinally. In a gross sense it is the interaction between the various frequencies that causes the vehicle to oscillate.

In general, pogo oscillation occurs when a surge in combustion chamber pressure increases back pressure against the fuel coming into the engine. This reduces fuel flow and thus chamber pressure. The reduced chamber pressure in turn reduces back pressure at the pump, causing more fuel to come in and repeating the cycle. In this way, a rocket engine experiencing pogo oscillations is conceptually operating somewhat like a pulsejet or pulse detonation engine. If the pulse cycle happens to match a resonance frequency of the rocket then dangerous oscillations can occur through positive feedback, which can, in extreme cases, tear the vehicle apart. Other situations that can induce fuel pressure fluctuations include flexing of fuel pipes.

Pogo oscillation plagued the Titan II first stage during its development, which delayed man-rating the rocket for the Gemini program. The Saturn V first stage (S-IC) experienced severe pogo oscillation on the flight of Apollo 6, which damaged the S-II and S-IVB stages above and likely would have triggered an abort if the flight had carried a crew. The second stage (S-II) had less intense pogo on other flights. The oscillations during Apollo 13's ascent caused the center engine to shut down about two minutes earlier than planned. The loss in thrust was compensated by longer burns from the second and third stages.

## Hazard

If the oscillation is left unchecked, failures can result. One case occurred in the middle J-2 engine of the second stage, S-II, of the Apollo 13 lunar mission in 1970. In this case, the engine shut down before the oscillations could cause damage to the vehicle. Later events in this mission (an oxygen tank exploded two days later) overshadowed the pogo problem. Pogo also had been experienced in the S-IC first stage of the uncrewed Apollo 6 test flight in 1968. One of the Soviet Union's N1-L3 rocket test flights suffered pogo oscillations in the first stage on February 21, 1969. The launch vehicle reached initial engine cutoff, but exploded 107 seconds after liftoff and disintegrated. There are other cases during uncrewed launches in the 1950s and 1960s where the pogo effect caused catastrophic launch failures, such as the first Soviet spacecraft to the moon Luna E-1 No.1 and Luna E-1 No.2 in September and October 1958.

Modern vibration analysis methods can account for the pogo oscillation to ensure that it is far away from the vehicle's resonant frequencies. Suppression methods include damping mechanisms or bellows in propellant lines. The Space Shuttle main engines each had a damper in the LOX line, but not in the hydrogen fuel line.

***Reckless Engineering*** is a BBC Books original novel written by Nick Walters and based on the long-running British science fiction television series *Doctor Who*. It features the Eighth Doctor, Fitz, Anji and Trix.

## Plot

The story is set in an alternate universe and features Isambard Kingdom Brunel; the cover is based on a famous photo of Brunel standing in front of the launching chains for the SS Great Eastern.

Set during the 1840s, the Doctor and his companions arrive during the Industrial Revolution in England, and learn that an inventor has been ordered by an alien force to construct a machine known as the *Utopia Engine*, a machine that will cause the entire planet to rapidly age. Anybody below the age of puberty will survive, but those above it will age to death.

Brunel, who has unknowingly been supplying parts for this engine, unites with the Doctor to destroy the engine after learning of the post-apocalyptic future the Doctor has foreseen.

title: Morris Sievers

text:
# Morris Sievers

**Morris William Sievers** (13 April 1912 – 10 May 1968) was an Australian cricketer who played in three Test matches in 1936–37.

## First-class career

Sievers began his career in 1930 for the Colts, at 17 years of age. Sievers was a useful right-handed lower order batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler who played for Victoria in the seasons leading up to the Second World War. He made a lot of useful 50s for the state team, but his bowling was inclined to be expensive.

Sievers toured South Africa in 1935–36 with the Australian cricket team under Vic Richardson but, with the Australian bowling dominated by the spin of Clarrie Grimmett and Bill O'Reilly, he was not called on for any of the Tests and took only seven first-class wickets on the tour.

## Test career

Sievers' Test match experience came in the first three matches of the MCC tour under Gubby Allen in 1936–37. Curiously fragile batting by the Australians gave England commanding victories in both the first two matches, at Brisbane and at Sydney, and Sievers distinguished himself with neither ball nor bat.

The third Test at Melbourne, however, saw a complete reversal of fortune, largely through the intervention of the weather. After Australia had struggled on the first day on a lifeless pitch, rain set in, so that when Donald Bradman declared at 200 for nine wickets and sent England in to bat, the pitch was of uncertain bounce, if any, and Sievers profited. When England declared having made just 76 for nine wickets, Sievers had taken five for 21, the best figures of the innings. Bradman then juggled his batting order to send expendable tail-enders in first and hit 270 himself on a by-now benevolent pitch. Australia won the match by 365 runs and went on to win the other two matches of the series to retain The Ashes.

Sievers, though, was dropped from the English tour after his Melbourne effort and despite finishing at the top of the Australian bowling averages for the series, he never played Test cricket again.

Sievers continued playing cricket until 1946, ending his career with an average just over 16 for his 270 First XI wickets.

At the age of 56, he died from a heart attack in a hospital in Melbourne.

title: Shoal bass

abstract: The shoal bass is a species of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. One of the black basses, it is native to waters in Florida and Georgia. It is also occasionally found in rivers and streams of East Alabama where it has been declared an endangered species and cannot legally be kept if caught by fishermen. Of typical size for a black bass, M. cataractae reaches a maximum recorded length of 24 inches (61 cm) and a maximum published weight of 8 pounds, 12 ounces. Only described for the first time in 1999, ichthyologists are still expanding what is known about the species. The shoal bass is often confused with the redeye bass, due to its red-tinted eyes. It is also often confused with the smallmouth bass, due to its faint vertical stripes along the side of its body.

# Shoal bass

The **shoal bass** (***Micropterus cataractae***) is a species of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. One of the black basses, it is native to waters in Florida and Georgia. It is also occasionally found in rivers and streams of East Alabama where it has been declared an endangered species and cannot legally be kept if caught by fishermen. Of typical size for a black bass, *M. cataractae* reaches a maximum recorded length of 24 inches (61 cm) and a maximum published weight of 8 pounds, 12 ounces.

Only described for the first time in 1999, ichthyologists are still expanding what is known about the species. The shoal bass is often confused with the redeye bass, due to its red-tinted eyes. It is also often confused with the smallmouth bass, due to its faint vertical stripes along the side of its body.

## Description

This species was formerly considered either a redeye bass or subspecies of the redeye bass. In 1999 it was described as a new species.

The red color of eyes associates this species with the redeye and Suwannee bass at first glance. However, it is more closely related morphologically to the spotted bass. Shoal bass are generally olive green to nearly black along the back. A dusky dark blotch about 50 to 67 percent of the size of the eye occurs on the back edge of the gill cover. Three diagonal black lines radiate along the side of the head looking like war paint. Ten to fifteen vertical blotches appear along the sides with tiger-stripes often appearing in between.

The belly is creamy or white and wavy lines may appear slightly above the white belly on the sides. The dorsal, caudal and anal fins are dark olive green to grayish black. Pelvic fins may have a cream colored leading edge with dark spots.

The shoal bass has scales on the base portion of the soft-rayed dorsal fins, clearly connected first and second dorsal fins, and an upper jaw bone that does not extend beyond the eyes.

There are no known subspecies of the shoal bass.

## Range and habitat

The shoal bass is becoming increasingly uncommon in the Apalachicola and Chipola rivers because so few shoals exist and competition with non-native spotted bass has increased. It is also known in the Chattahoochee river drainage; and is most plentiful in the relatively undammed Flint River of Georgia, as well as lakes such as Blackshear and West Point. Shoal bass are closely associated with rock shoals and are uncommon in other habitat due to their unique spawning requirements.

The conservation status of shoal bass is vulnerable throughout its range. Good fishing still exists in Georgia's Flint River, but anglers are encouraged to catch and release. Conversely, anglers are urged to keep all spotted bass caught on the Flint River because of its competition with and potential for hybridizing with the shoal bass.

## Behavior

Shoal bass spawn in coarse gravel at the heads of creek pools in April and May, to early June. They prefer a spawning temperature of 64 to 79 °F (18 to 26 °C). Like the largemouth, the male prepares the nest and guards the eggs and fry.

Shoal bass feed mainly on aquatic insects on the surface. They also feed on larval insects, crayfish and fish. Shoal bass grow much faster than redeye bass.

## Sporting quality

Shoal bass offer similar sporting quality to that of other species of black bass. They can be caught using worms, minnows, or crayfish as well as small spinners and a wide variety of small surface lures. Some have been known to reach more than eight pounds. As a sport fish, specific bag and size limit regulations apply, and you can register a qualifying catch as part of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's "Big Catch" program.

The shoal bass has white, flaky meat, which tends to be drier than that of a largemouth or spotted bass.

The world record shoal bass was 8 pounds, 12 ounces according to the International Game Fish Association. The fish was caught October 23, 1977, in the Apalachicola River, Florida. This bass was a shoal bass, but originally reported as the Apalachicola form of redeye bass.

Shoal bass are also popular targets for fly fishers, who find them easy to access in their preferred river environments. The practice of fly fishing for shoal bass is becoming more widespread.

The shoal bass fights harder than its cousin, the largemouth bass, and has more stamina. They prefer moderate to heavy current and will take crawdad patterns aggressively. Five pound shoal bass are considered trophies, but fish above seven pounds are caught each year.

**Michael Joseph McGrath** (24 March 1882 – 28 February 1961) was an Irish-born prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served first as the bishop of Menevia from 1935 to 1940, then the archbishop of Cardiff from 1940 to 1961.

## Personal history

### Early life

McGrath was born in Kilkenny, Ireland on 24 March 1882. He was educated at a local Christian Brothers school before attending Rockwell College. He achieved a BA from the Royal University of Ireland in Irish language in 1915, and an MA from its successor the NUI in 1918. His university later awarded him an honorary D.Litt. in 1942.

### Religious career

McGrath trained for the priesthood at St. John's College, Waterford, and he was ordained to the priesthood on 12 July 1908. He initially worked as a priest for the Catholic diocese of Clifton, followed by Bristol's Church of St. Nicholas. In 1918, he was forced take a leave of absence on health grounds. In 1921, he was invited by Bishop Francis Mostyn to work in the Diocese of Menevia. McGrath went on to serve at Flint, Bangor and, in 1928, Aberystywth as parish priest, where he befriended Thomas Gwynn Jones. On 10 August 1935 he was appointed the Bishop of the Diocese of Menevia in Swansea, south Wales. His consecration to the Episcopate took place on 24 September 1935, the principal consecrator was Archbishop Francis Mostyn of Cardiff, and the principal co-consecrators were Bishop William Lee of Clifton and Bishop Ambrose James Moriarty of Shrewsbury. Five years later, McGrath was translated to the Archdiocese of Cardiff as archbishop on 20 June 1940. He died in office on 28 February 1961, aged 78.

### Report to Rome

Archbishop McGrath sent a report to Rome on 7 March 1960, summarising his attitude to Wales. He wrote of the future of the Catholic community in Wales, noting that it made largely made up of descendants of Irish immigrants, separating it from the cultural life of Wales. McGrath also commented on the decline of the Welsh language since the First World War. McGrath predicted that this decline would undermine the religious life of the nation and lead to widespread religious indifference, leading to divorce, broken family life and abortion, among other things.

## Corpus Christi

The upper portion of North Padre Island is a district of the city of Corpus Christi. "The Island" as known by locals consists of high-income residential housing and condominiums and is a popular fishing destination. The Packery Channel, an inlet which connects the Gulf of Mexico to the Laguna Madre, separates North Padre Island from Mustang Island. There are numerous hotels located on North Padre Island, either along the beach or near the intersection of Texas Highway 361 and Texas Park Road 22, the district's two only main thoroughfares. Boating is also a popular activity on the island as the residential neighborhoods are connected by a series of canals which lead to the Gulf of Mexico.

# Po' Boy (Bob Dylan song)

"**Po' Boy**" is an acoustic folk/jazz song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan that appears as the tenth song on his 2001 album *Love and Theft*. It was anthologized on the compilation album *Dylan* in 2007. Like most of Dylan's 21st century output, he produced the song himself under the pseudonym Jack Frost.

## Background and composition

"Po' Boy" was one of the earliest songs Dylan wrote for *Love and Theft*. Guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell recalls Dylan showing him the song's unusual chord changes shortly after Dylan and his band had recorded the Oscar-winning song "Things Have Changed" in 1999: “They were relatively sophisticated changes for a Bob Dylan song...That was the first inkling of what the material might be like – taking elements from the jazz era and adding a folk sensibility to it". Critic Tim Riley also noted the song's relationship to jazz, claiming it "almost sounds as if it could have been recorded around 1920. \[Dylan\] leaves you dangling at the end of each bridge, lets the band punctuate the trail of words he's squeezed into his lines, which gives it a reluctant soft-shoe charm".

Dylan scholar Tony Attwood describes the song as "a walk through the heritage of American culture" due to the preponderance of the phrase "po' boy" throughout the history of American popular song. He also notes the song's references to the Southern United States and the use of vaudeville-style jokes (including a knock-knock joke) in the lyrics as well as one decidedly non-American influence: Japanese author Junichi Saga's *Confessions of a Yakuza*, a non-fiction book from which Dylan appropriated phrases. In their book *Bob Dylan All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track*, authors Philippe Margotin and Jean-Michel Guesdon also discuss the song's referentiality, noting how Dylan even throws two Shakespeare characters, Othello and Desdemona, into the mix.

## Critical reception

Margotin and Guesdon call the song a "beautiful ballad in a rather surprising style, like many others on *Love and Theft*". They praise the interpretation of the band as "excellent...including two exquisite and subtle guitar parts by \[Charlie\] Sexton and \[Larry\] Campbell, and also \[Tony\] Garnier's upright bass, which he plays with a bow at the end of the song".

Thomas Ward at *AllMusic* referred to it as "a masterpiece of the writer's lyrical phrasing", noting how one "plays the song over and over but still can't quite fathom how Dylan gets all those syllables in, with such deftness. Lines like the hilarious 'Knocking on the door, I say, "Who is it? Where you from?" / Man says, "Freddy", I say, "Freddy who?", He says, "Freddy or not here I come"' are just staggering in their virtuosity, while being hilariously funny".

*Spectrum Culture* included "Po' Boy" on a list of "Bob Dylan's 20 Best Songs of the '00s". In an article accompanying the list, critic Ian Maxton calls the song "jaunty, even as death and violence lurk" and claims that it sounds, "for the first time in a decade or more, like the sound of a man having *fun* – cracking jokes, playing tricky literary games and calling on the pre-rock tunes of his youth to set the atmosphere just right".

A 2015 *USA Today* article ranking "every Bob Dylan song" placed "Po' Boy" 51st (out of 359), noting that the song's line "'all I know is that I’m thrilled by your kiss', is the perfect 10-word message on any card to your significant other".

*The Sydney Morning Herald* included it on a list of the "Top five Bob Dylan Songs" in 2021. *The Big Issue* included it at #58 on a list of the "80 best Bob Dylan songs - that aren't greatest hits", noting that it exemplifies Dylan's love of "puns and Dad jokes".

## Cultural references

The line "Po' boy, in a hotel called the Palace of Gloom / Calls down to room service, says, 'Send up a room'" is a reference to a joke in William A. Seiter's Marx Brothers-starring comedy *Room Service* from 1938.

The lyrics in the bridge beginning with "My mother was the daughter of a wealthy farmer" are constructed largely from phrases appropriated from Junichi Saga's *Confessions of a Yakuza* while simultaneously alluding to the "farmer's daughter" genre of jokes (of which Dylan's 1964 song "Motorpsycho Nitemare" is an extended example).

## Live versions

According to his official website, Dylan played the song 41 times on the Never Ending Tour between 2001 and 2010. This makes it the most infrequently played live song from *Love and Theft*. The live debut occurred at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan on November 6, 2001 and the last performance (to date) took place at Patinoire Meriadeck in Bordeaux, France on June 29, 2010.

## Covers

Ryan Adams performed a fragment of the song while doing a Dylan impersonation at a concert in 2001.

# William Wilson (engineer)

**William Wilson** (1809 – 1862) was an English mechanical engineer and first engine driver on the first German railway.

## Life

William Wilson was born on 18 May 1809 in Walbottle, Northumberland, England, and in 1829 was engaged by George Stephenson as a mechanic.

The first railway line in Germany was opened on 7 December 1835 between Nuremberg and Fürth. Its first steam locomotive was supplied by Stephenson, because at that time there were no suitable and affordable steam engines available in Germany. At the request of the Ludwig Railway Company (*Ludwigs-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft*), Stephenson also provided Wilson to act as engine driver and engineer. He was to instruct the locomotive crew and train successors, for which he was given an eight-month contract. Stephenson stipulated a maximum working period of 12 hours per day and Wilson's travel costs were borne by the Ludwig Railway Company. In addition, he took on the fitting out, and later the direction, of a railway workshop. He was given a high salary commensurate with his qualification that exceeded the income of the general manager (*Generaldirektor*) of the railway company. His pay was initially 1,500 gulden per annum; in addition he received a bonus of 240 gulden.

On 7 December 1835 William Wilson finally drove the locomotive, Adler, as the engine driver, on the first German railway on the newly built line operated by the Ludwig Railway. After eight months he made no arrangements to leave. Both as a result of his safe performance during this journey as well as his excellent credentials, his contract was repeatedly extended. The passengers wanted to travel with no one else but the "tall Englishman". Whenever he was not driving the locomotive himself, income fell.

From 1842 he alternated as engine driver with his assistant, Bockmüller. His health was seriously damaged by his occupation, however, because he would stand on the driver's platform in all weathers in a gentleman's overcoat and top hat, but without any protection from the elements. Not until the winter of 1845/46 were engine drivers given leather coats as protection against the weather. Finally, eight years later, the engines were furnished with protective roofs over the driver's stand. In spite of tempting offers by the Bavarian State Railway, Wilson remained with the Ludwig Railway. In 1859, he was unable to work regularly as a result of his worsening health. At the 25th anniversary celebrations of the Ludwig Railway he was greatly honoured. He died on 17 April 1862 in Nuremberg as a result of his illness. He was buried at St. John's Cemetery in Nuremberg, his funeral being attended by a large section of the population. His grave is still visible today.

text:
# Glowin' Moses

**Glowin’ Moses** was a Christian rock band formed in the late 1990s. The band took their name from the Biblical story of Moses. The band released four albums during the eight years they were together.

## Early history

The band was formed in October 1999 in Newport News, Virginia as part of the First Baptist Church Music Ministry. Their music is best described as an amalgam of structured pop-rock and freewheeling jam band stylings. The original lineup consisted of Ron Mason on guitar, Michael J. Adams on drums, Ray Fowler, Jr. on bass, and lead singer Nathan "Nate" Milton. In addition to solid musicianship, the band employed the songwriting team of Adams and Milton. Mirroring the songwriting arrangement of the great Lennon–McCartney writing team, Milton and Adams composed over 60 songs during their four-year partnership. The band began by playing at numerous churches, youth rallies, coffee houses, & nightclubs. They were a part of various festivals and conferences, quickly garnering local and regional attention for their modern music and stage presence. One of the band's highlights occurred in 2001, when they opened for Christian music legends Petra in Waynesboro, VA. In 2003 another moment happened when they appeared on "The Local Connection". A popular radio show that aired on WJLZ. The show was broadcast both locally and nationally via the internet. The band has released four albums to date (including "Soul Food", which was produced by David "Pic" Conley of the R&B group Surface).

## Lineup changes

Besides their music, Glowin' Moses most notable trait was their ever-changing roster. In 2000 the band expanded their roster from four to seven members. In addition to adding saxophonist Curtis Brown (who had already begun playing with the band in several concerts), the band added "The Philipino Phenom" Alden Lumagui on bass and "Sugar" Shawn Moseley on keyboards. This is the "classic" GM lineup that would remain intact for the next three years. In 2003 the band went through a series of lineup changes. Bassist Alden Lumagui left the band to pursue other personal and musical opportunities (he eventually resurfaced with the band Simple Life). Lumagui was "replaced" by a pastiche of fill-in bass players, including Michael Adams' brother, Brian. The band eventually settled on a steady lineup which featured Michael Adams on lead guitar, Ron Mason on bass guitar and Shawn Moseley on drums. In the Summer of 2003, the band added Shawn Downey as the permanent bass player. But the lineup changes weren't finished for the band. At the end of 2003 founding members Ray Fowler and Nathan Milton both departed the band for personal and professional reasons. Milton eventually returned to the music scene with his R&B/Soul collective, Mosaic. Following Milton's departure, Curtis Brown assumed the duties of lead singer and the band continued to record new music, resulting in the CD "Grey" (which included the final nine Adams-Milton collaborations). In October 2005, Shawn Moseley and Shawn Downey decided to part ways with the band. Brian Adams returned on Bass guitar, reducing GM back to its original number of four members. In 2005 the band also added keyboard player Vladimir Barrios. After a year of being in the band, Barrios left the group to return to his native home of California. In 2007, after eight years and four albums, the band decided to take an "Indefinite Hiatus".

## 2006 and beyond

In 2006 the band appeared as part of The Inspiration Network (INSP) channel program "*CATS*" (Christian Artist Talent Search) this was the band's final televised performance. In 2007, after eight years and four albums, the band decided to take an "indefinite hiatus". In 2008 the remaining members finally decided to part ways for good, effectively ending the band. Rumors persisted of a reunion in 2009 (10 years after the band's initial formation), but the rumors were not addressed by any of the band's former members.

As of 2010, several members are still in pursuit of their musical ambitions. Curtis Brown plays saxophone in the Michael Clark Band. Michael J. Adams is playing and writing for the Ben Phelps Project. Ron Mason continues to play guitar for First Baptist Church. While many of the members have departed from the band, most of the guys remain in contact. In 2013, Alden Lumagui, after almost 8 years of musical abstinence, dusted off the ol' 5 string EdgeQ Hammer with the DR Neon strings and auditioned for the Waters Edge Church production team at their Yorktown, VA campus. "I was worried about auditions and not having picked up a bass in soo long, but overall it went great!" said Lumagui of his audition experience. As of 2015, Lumagui continues to play bass for WEC in Yorktown, VA and still manages to keep in touch with his former Glowin' Moses bandmates.

## The name

The band took their name from a Biblical scripture passage, Exodus 34:29-35. The passage tells of Moses coming into the presence of God on Mount Sinai.

*"**29** When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD. **30** When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. **31** But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community came back to him, and he spoke to them. **32** Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands the LORD had given him on Mount Sinai.* ***33** When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil over his face. **34** But whenever he entered the LORD's presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, **35** they saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord."* \- NIV Version

title: Hawken rifle

abstract: The Hawken rifle is a muzzle-loading rifle that was widely used on the prairies and in the Rocky Mountains of the United States during the early frontier days. Developed in the 1820s, it became synonymous with the "plains rifle", the buffalo gun, and a trade rifle for fur trappers, traders, clerks, and hunters. It was displaced after the American Civil War by breechloaders and lever action rifles. The Hawken rifle was made and sold by Jacob and Samuel Hawken. Trained by their father as rifle smiths on the East Coast, the brothers moved to St. Louis, Missouri, at the beginning of the Rocky Mountain fur trade. Opening a gun shop in St. Louis in 1815, they developed their Hawken Rifle, dubbed "Rocky Mountain Rifle", to serve the needs of fur trappers, traders, and explorers, a quality gunː light enough to carry all the time and that could knock down big animals at long range. In 1858, the shop passed to other owners who continued to operate and sell rifles bearing the Hawken name: William S. Hawken, William L. Watt, and J. P. Gemmer.

# Hawken rifle

The **Hawken rifle** is a muzzle-loading rifle that was widely used on the prairies and in the Rocky Mountains of the United States during the early frontier days. Developed in the 1820s, it became synonymous with the "plains rifle", the buffalo gun, and a trade rifle for fur trappers, traders, clerks, and hunters. It was displaced after the American Civil War by breechloaders (such as the Sharps rifle) and lever action rifles.

The Hawken rifle was made and sold by Jacob and Samuel Hawken. Trained by their father as rifle smiths on the East Coast, the brothers moved to St. Louis, Missouri, at the beginning of the Rocky Mountain fur trade. Opening a gun shop in St. Louis in 1815, they developed their Hawken Rifle, dubbed "Rocky Mountain Rifle", to serve the needs of fur trappers, traders, and explorers, a quality gunː light enough to carry all the time and that could knock down big animals at long range.

In 1858, the shop passed to other owners who continued to operate and sell rifles bearing the Hawken name: William S. Hawken, William L. Watt, and J. P. Gemmer. Gemmer closed the business and retired in 1915.

## History

The earliest known record of a Hawken rifle dates to 1823 when one was made for William Henry Ashley. The rifle was dubbed "Old Bill" and had a 42-inch barrel carrying an ounce ball (about .68 caliber). While the Hawken brothers made several guns, including flintlock rifles and some of the earlier percussion caps, no additional Hawken rifles were produced before 1831. In 1831 fur traders Peter A. Sarpy and Etienne Papin are recorded as using the rifle. In 1832 several mountain men are listed as purchasing Hawken rifles, including brigade leaders Andrew Drips and Lucien Fontenelle. Members of later Ashley Rendezvous also owned Hawken rifles, including Auguste Arhcambeau and Ft. Union hunter Joseph Ramsey.

The Hawkens did not mass-produce their rifles but rather made each one by hand, one at a time. They employed a small crew working in a frame building producing approximately 100 rifles a year. A number of famous men were said to have owned Hawken rifles, including Auguste Lacome, Hugh Glass, Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Orrin Porter Rockwell, Joseph Meek, Jedediah Strong Smith, and Theodore Roosevelt.

Hawken rifles had a reputation for both accuracy and long range.

Samuel Hawken outlived his brother and remain in business until 1855 when his son William continued with the business moving to a new shop that year. In 1856 partner Tristan Campbell dropped out of the business which closed the sporting-goods section of the shop. William continued with the gunsmith operation until he was forced to close the shop at the heart of the Panic of 1857. The Hawken rifle company was sold in 1862 to William Watt, and the last rifle actually made by a Hawken was built in 1884.

Although popular with mountain men and hunters of the fur trade era, up through the mid part of the 19th century, muzzleloaders were generally replaced by mass-produced, breech-loading weapons such as the Sharps rifle and the Winchester rifle.

## Design

Jacob Hawken had an early influence from a gunsmith in Virginia and may have also used the iron-mounted Southern bear-rifles of the early 1800s for inspiration for the Hawken rifle. The plain iron-mounted Hawken rifle may also been partly designed by James Lakenan, Hawken's associate that had a military influence in making iron-mounted militia rifle with a stout scroll guard and long iron patchbox that resembled civilian hunting rifles, including the Hawken rifle. Jacob Hawken also had military rifle experience that may have inspired the oval, bottom-hinged patchbox used in the Hawken rifle.

The rifles are generally shorter and of a larger caliber than earlier "Kentucky rifles" from which they descend. The style of the rifles is the same as the Harpers Ferry Model 1803, a half stock rifle (although they also made some with full stock), with the same lines as the Kentucky rifle. The "plains rifle" style would become the "sporter" for much of the United States during the 1840s.

Their "Rocky Mountain" guns were typically .50 caliber or .53 caliber, but ranged as high as .68 caliber. They averaged 10+12 pounds (4.8 kg), although there are examples of 15 pounds (6.8 kg) guns. Barrels were of varying lengths (33 and 36 inch examples are described), and are octagonal on the outside and made of wrought iron. The walnut or maple stocks have a curved cheek piece, often looking like a beaver's tail and called that. They tended to have double triggers; the rear trigger is a "set" trigger. When the rear trigger is pulled, the hammer does not fall but rather the action "sets" the front trigger, the front trigger becoming a "hair trigger," tripped with a light touch. In many examples, when the front trigger is used without using the rear "set" trigger, it requires a firm pull, and others require the trigger to be set before the front trigger will drop the hammer at all. Although, the 25th anniversary model made by Thompson/Center was an exception to this. Rather, it had a single trigger with a tension screw that allowed for adjustment of take-up and length of pull. The front sight was a blade sight. Unlike many modern reproductions, the butt plate and other trim were not made of brass, but of iron.

## Cost

The first recorded sale of a Hawken rifle was in 1831. The fixed price for a traditional Hawken rifle was $22.50 - $25.00. Several of the fine engraved Hawken rifles sold for $38 between 1837-1842. A .70 caliber Hawken rifle, the largest caliber example known, that was once owned by Theodore Roosevelt and is set for auction in May of 2024 has an estimated auction value of US$55,000 to US$85,000.

In Karl May's Winnetou books, the eponymous Indian brave and his blood brother Old Shatterhand both owned Hawken rifles. Winnetou decorated his rifle with silver thumb tacks, and Old Shatterhand named his own gun Bear Slayer.

The 1972 film *Jeremiah Johnson*, starring Robert Redford as a mountain man who used such a rifle, contributed to general interest in replicas and a resurgence in the popularity of muzzleloaders among modern hunters.

The First Mountain Man series (1991-2019) by William W. Johnstone, sees the leading character "Preacher" wielding a Hawkins Rifle, as his primary arm, in every entry.

# North Kessock

**North Kessock** (Gaelic: *Ceasag a Tuath* or *Aiseag Cheasaig*) is a village on the Black Isle north of Inverness.

## Description

North Kessock is the first village encountered over the Kessock Bridge. Now bypassed by the main road to the north (the A9), the village remains quiet. Its counterpart across the Beauly Firth, South Kessock, is a district of Inverness.

## History

Nearby Ord Hill has the remains of a hill fort dating back to around 550BC which was reused by the Picts around 1,000 years later.

North Kessock probably existed as early as 1437, when the Dominican monastery in Inverness was granted a charter to operate a ferry to the Black Isle. This was on the pilgrim route north to St Duthac Church in Tain. The ferry was discontinued in 1982 upon the opening of the Kessock Bridge.

## Recycling Dispute

Recently the community has been involved in a long running dispute over the location of glass recycling bins. The matter was settled after a community ballot organised by Highland Council where 67% of those who responded voted to site the bins in the main car park.

At least as of 29 July 2024 the glass recycling bin was in the main car park.

## Wildlife

North Kessock is a famous spot for watching bottlenose dolphins, which are resident in the Moray Firth.
