How Many Members Are There At A Gym

CAT, 1921.

In 1921 Lessee Tobacco Company commissioned the Thornycroft shipyard in Southampton six 30-ton cargo ships for maritime service, as shown in the attached image. I imagine that the designation of "mixed" would make reference to its double drive, sail or motor. For now is all the information I have on these ships. Contributions would be welcome.

What Do I Need Receipts For?

A collection of antique dolls

I have a DOLL DRESS

AZULLLLLL OF

Castro is a collector Heloise Galician antique dolls. It tells us that she has always enjoyed, but only started collecting them about three years ago. Since then, he has gathered and a good set.

And he likes all and all! because normally speak of "dolls" p ut them together can not miss

in the dolls.

We will not discuss the history of the wrist in general, as they say, goes back to the dawn of time and would be a very long address. We will deal only with the collection of Heloise.

currently has about 15 dolls that can be described as old, about 60 who are not so much and about 50 labeled as reproductions. We are looking into a doll is, in addition to seniority, which is nice (or to transmit something) and is in the best possible conditions. Not in favor of total restorations, which devalue the doll and removed them authenticity, but I like to see them well.

Among the oldest dolls in your collection are some of Armand Marseille manufacturers and Handwerck Heinrich. The material used in manufacturing of these is the porcelain dolls or biscuit for faces and called for body composition.

Other brands, of which have any representation, are, for example, those of Ernst Heubach , Kämmer & Reinhardt, SFBJ and other manufacturers. Eloisa's favorites are the German, in which she is always something special, especially the faces are so sweet.

course, these brands mentioned are well known. The Kämmer & Reinhard was founded in Thuringia (Germany) in 1886, still in operation until 1925. Also installed in the same region, namely e n Sonneberg, Armand Marseille , he founded his factory bisque doll heads in 1892. Such was the success of this company who came to work on it more than 500 people. Model "390" of that mark in three versions, were exported worldwide.

Another manufacturer of the place was Erst Heubach. In fact, almost all German toy production was located there in Sonneberg, so it has become known as Toy Town. From 1840 to 1920 they estimated that 70% of the toys were dolls that area.

Heloise also has copies of the French firm SFBJ (French Society of Baby Products and Toys). This brand was the result of the merger in 1899 from different manufacturers, including Jumeau , Eden Bébé , F. Gaultier, Paul Galtier , etc. Its production is specialized in dolls made of celluloid.

The invention of celluloid (nitrate cellulose) was created by John Wesley Hyatt, who discovered it in 1869. This material was a small revolution in the manufacture of dolls, it allowed a very

molded

detailed, while lowering costs.

Among the dolls are babies or children of his collection, a favorite of Eloise is a very big brand Kammer & Reinhardt, it is very difficult to achieve.

Our collector has all the pieces of his collection scheduled appropriately with date acquisition, source, characteristics, etc. and stores them in a room equipped for them. Here enjoy a moderately dry and ventilated, and she is careful to keep them clean and tidy.

Although known to other collectors, obviously these are not pieces that provide the exchange, but always best to exchange views with other collectors and learn from those with more experience. In addition, the collector will always have what he has n dolls themselves, with their aesthetic, their clothes, the material on which they are made, with the signature or stamp of its maker, etc. It is a matter of learning that language, to understand and love them very much, to keep them happy.

A collection of photos of statues in Zaragoza

CULTURE

Jesus Zaragoza Monreal is a retiree who enjoys that status (in many ways privileged) few years ago. Due to some health problems, and after leaving occupation, also had to set aside

sports activities, to which they had spent heavily in your free time. Mountaineering, athletics, handball, marches, etc. Undaunted by these resignations, Jesus intended from the start to reorganize their lives. Now take the opportunity to grow in an orderly fashion another hobby that has always been photography. So did the project of photographing all the statues and monuments found in Zaragoza.

had already begun work on this initiative, when one day he discovered the existence of an internet full and valuable work he had conducted a school group, and it set the same goal that he pursued. The experience of young people helped to define their programs and became his road map. l On a plane

to city, each statue stood and was recorded in each sector, each district and each park to get a complete count.

subsequently discovered in the web of a city hall official catalog with the same content, but infinitely more extensive and detailed, which was also a great help for our collector.

The location, movement, performance photos and work posterity

or classification, identification and management of files has required more than a year of work and now it terminated in the absence of one figure removed by tram works Jesus expects to reappear any day.

photo This work has allowed him get to know many aspects of ornamental statues and sculptures in Zaragoza. In addition to analyzing the artistic work, Jesus cares about other issues important to local history, such as who ordered them, why s

and chose that site. etc. As regards the topic, Jesus warns that urban sculpture chosen for those reasons that symbolize the values \u200b\u200bthat a company's own estimate, ie, those with whom they identify. Also shown are local traditions, people, historical events, etc. Our collector has proven that in his city, in general, the statues are dedicated to famous people of the natural history of Aragon city mayors, kings, historical figures, jota. Zaragoza are recurring themes in the jack, the l

eons (contained in the shield of the city). Goya and his work. Spaces modern, created in the last decades, reflected current issues, such as film, for example, and there are many s abstract work.

deliberate addition to the message conveys a sculptural group, thanks to the theme and artistic style adopted, n or forget that the statues we have many other things. The fact that he favored a particular subject is always very eloquent and reflects the concerns, or lack thereof, of a time and

to society. It also highlights the objectives and strategies of those who rule at the time, not only by what is shown but for what it is muted, so it tries to ignore. Anyway, it's not just a matter of art and decoration, but politics and power. most recent sculptures are ordering, usually Aragonese artists, as Gargallo, Serrano and other contemporaries.

As regards the materials used, it can be said to be of all kinds. There are figures of bronze, stone, steel plate work cortex, large forest your

steel or painted bright red, some wood, fiberglass, wrought iron and some other scattered originality.

No matter that other work done on the same subject, the statues of Zaragoza in the collection of Jesus are a unique collection. It is the particular and personal view of forms and symbols are exposed to all eyes, but which provides each with its own sensitivity. This same curiosity and delivery Jesus was also launched to photograph the plaques found in many buildings of the city, you know those texts with the legend "was born in this house ...". Also watch the big picture displayed in the streets, church towers, the buildings of Banks etc. Many outstanding issues to Procoleccionismo ...

Baby Shower And Ice Cream Wording

speedboats The first Spanish: The "hydro" CAT, 1922.

The "Santo Stefano" was not the only battleship that sank Rizzo, last year he had sunk the battleship smaller Coast Guard "Wien."

I've always admired the bold individuals, those seeking to improve what is already known and embark on new projects, even at the risk of failure and criticism. Maybe so, from young always admired the figure of Luigi Rizzo.

Rizzo Lieutenant Commander of the Royal Italian Navy made history by sinking of the battleship Szent István. In summary, Luigi Rizzo sent a formation of two torpedo boats, the MAS and the MAS-15-21, when she went to Austro-Hungarian training consisting of two battleships and several destroyers that sailed through the Strait of Otranto. It was 0330 hours of the day June 10, 1918, and the small silhouettes of the boats tied to the darkness of the night, made these pass unnoticed (some MAS could even add electric motors to not be heard in these approximations).

Profile "MAS-15," drawn by Joe Hinds.

Rizzo was able to fire two torpedoes of 450 mm from the MAS-15 to pleasure a few meters from Szent István Battleship, who fatally shot would sink the next morning. This represented a revolution in naval history as a tiny wooden boat had sunk to one of the most powerful battleships of the era, and could return to base unharmed.

For more impact, the images of the sinking of the Szent István were recorded on film and went around the world (you can see on the Internet), which led to the action of great significance.

Boats MAS (Anti Motoscafo Sommergibile ) were designed by SVAN (Societa Veneziana motor Navali) using primarily for gasoline powered engines purchased in the U.S., for more install later developed Società Isotta Fraschini offered more power. That is why the name of these boats can be called a mistake, because at the low speed that developed the first units were relegated to these anti-submarine missions, hence the name that will not change.

The first torpedo boats were possible after the onset of the first internal combustion engines, on the one hand, and development of the Whitehead torpedo other. The torpedo boats or simply "torpedo", called by the whites as "Torpedo Boats" had long existed, and had its counterpart in vessels specially designed to fight against them, the "anti-torpedo" or "hunting" torpedo ", which later would become internationally known as" destroyers ", following a English named the" Destroyer. "

why we should not confuse the concept of "torpedo" or "Torpedo Boat ", larger vessels that existed since the days of steam, so-called "torpedo boats", known by the English as " Motor Torpedo Boats (MTB), born with internal combustion engines.

This introduction helps us go back to the early twentieth century, and into the area we want addressed in this section.

The first British torpedo boats.

The English like the Italians, they relied from the outset in the military value that could have this kind of light boats in the future, then confirmed by the success of the MAS. The Admiralty wanted to realize his idea of \u200b\u200bhaving small, fast torpedo boats armed with torpedoes to 18 inches large units could attack the German Navy anchored in their harbors. These agile ships of shallow draft would have no problem to bypass U-boats and minefields.

In the pictures above, several aspects of the CMB-4 which is preserved in the museum at Duxford.

To remedy its short range of these boats would be transported to the vicinity of the enemy bases by fast light cruisers. Having to be flown in this type of vessel, displacement of the fast boats could not be greater than 4.2 tonnes, as this was the maximum weight they could lift davits British light cruisers of the time.

John Thornycroft was built in 1910 his speedboat "Miranda-IV" 25 feet considered worldwide as the first " hydroplane" or whatever it is, the first boat that got hydroplaning. Powered by a 120 HP engine achieved a speed of 35 knots.

based precisely on his speedboat "Miranda-IV", Thornycroft proposed to the Admiralty a 40-foot boat built in Mahogany (mahogany species), and powered by a gasoline engine . Upon acceptance of this model would be built 39 units of it to be known with the name of CMB 40 ft ( Coastal Motor Boat 40 ft).

A year later, in 1917 Thornycroft produce a stretched version known as CMB 55 ft, powered by two Thornycroft V-12 engines.

The CMBS would mount various types of engines, the CMBS 55ft Thornycroft Y12-powered 350-HP, Green 18 450 HP and 450 HP Sunbeam, exceed in excess of 40 knots maximum speed.

addition to torpedoes, some units would mount depth charges, even while others were designed to work carrying limpet mines mining "M Sinker."

Among the most prominent of the British boats, we can mention the June 1919 when the "CMB-4 (which is preserved in the museum at Duxford, England) managed to sink the Soviet cruiser" Oleg " getting away under heavy fire. In August 1919, a flotilla of CMBS managed to sink the battleship "Azov Pamiat" the battleship "Petropavlosk" and seriously damage the battleship "Andrei Pervozvanny." The British suffer losses in this action of the "CMB-79", "CMB-24" and "CMB-62", a poor tribute to the severe damage caused to the Soviets.

The CMBS receipt of Tenant's maritime Tobacco Company.

In September 1921, the English Ministry of Finance took the decision to allow the renewal of the fleet of maritime surveillance of the CAT (Lessee Tobacco Company), which had leased the monopoly in 1887, and given the formation of a monitoring service to pursue land and sea smuggling. The business of smuggling organizations after the war had increased significantly, and the old ships of the "Tobacco" could not fight effectively against newer boats.

It then begins the construction of two types of vessels with diesel engines (another new feature in Spain), Class "Inspector" and those smaller class "cruise." But also the CAT decides to go further, and purchased directly from Britain or gangster Revolution, the CMB in Class (Coastal Motor Boat), attracted mainly by the high speed these boats could be developed.

The caption above the image reads: "Boarding the boats" H-IV "," HV "and" H "VI" of Thornycroft for STM (English Tobacco Monopoly) Castelar the ship. "Unfortunately the little information that accompanies this photograph taken in London, given that it was made in 1922 or 1923, thus we are not certain what year exactly. Of all However this picture is very important to us because it certifies the shipment of these CMBS from 40 feet to the CAT

Although unfortunately not much information for now we can bring about the tobacco CMBS, at least we want to record Step by Spain of such craft, as even nearly all English naval historians have Forgot to address this issue.

As we shall explain below all the ex-"CMBS" which became part of the fleet of CAT, were boats that had previously belonged to the Royal Navy, and after the First World War had Thornycroft shipyard acquired and refurbished. There is no evidence and detailed some of which were exactly the preceding paragraphs of such units, or even the total number of them which can vary between seven and nine, according to sources.

the absence of information in this regard, we went to the prestigious British historian GH Hudson, a specialist of the highest level this matter, which kindly forwarded their findings.

Hudson in his report, speaks of a manuscript of the Thornycroft company itself which refers to three 40-foot boat, the "CMB-41", "CMB-48" and "CMB-44 "which were updated in the yard itself and which, among other reforms, they were replaced its original Fiat engine for a V12 Thornycroft. At the end of this manuscript adds "numbered from HI to H-VII" and also "in Malaga on 14/01/1923." No doubt that this manuscript we will give the highest credibility because it comes from their own yards, and that draw the conclusion that the CAT received at least seven CMBS, three of which were at least 40 feet.

The above picture was published in the magazine Black and White on December 3, 1922. Next to steam "No. 1" of the CAT points docked in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bpoke two distinctive type boat prows CMB.

Following the report of Hudson, two vessels acquired by Thornycroft also may have been sold to the CAT, the "CMB-43" and "CMB-60."

Another document referred to other three vessels acquired by Thornycroft in 1921, "CMB-15", "CMB-37" and "CMB-68", which were subsequently sold to the STM (English Tobacco Monopoly), ie, the CAT These three last belonged to 55-foot model.

Ultimately, and inasmuch as the Hudson report is detailed and comprehensive so, not wishing to bore the reader, we are left with the conclusions he comes this historian after analyzing the different vessels acquired by Thornycroft different owners.

According to him, it is likely that vessels acquired by the tobacco English were originally a total of seven, as well as the documentation states own shipyard. Of these seven units checked by Thornycroft, create almost certain that they were three boats of 40 feet, ex-"CMBS" 41, 48 and 44, with construction numbers 1840 to 1842. The three 55-foot Hudson would be as the former "CMBS" 15, 37 and 68, with construction numbers 1845 to 1847.

The seventh and last boat estimates that could have been another 40 feet, the "CMB-43" or the "CMB-55", but the historian is inclined to think that for various reasons, are more likely The seventh boat had been the "CMB-55."

It must be assumed that efforts to overhaul and fine-tuning of these units prior to delivery to the maritime service of the CAT, all of them will be removed the rails and other elements necessary for launching torpedoes it would be unnecessarily burdensome for their new mission. The acquisition of these vessels would be finally approved by the RO on May 8, 1922.

also other information which records the change of the engines of all vessels, receiving the CMBS 55-foot twin-engine 250 HP Thornycroft "V12" instead of the originals, and the same model and power, each 40 feet. Thus the first reach a top speed of 35.2 knots and 33.4 knots the latter.

In the book "Tobacco Snuff and stagnation in Spain 1636-1998", its authors, Don Francisco Comin Comin and Don Pablo Martin Aceña, maintain that as the Minutes of the Governing Body of the CAT, were commissioned to Thornycroft, 3 Hydro * 40 feet, and 6 of 55 feet. Similarly the claim that in early 1923, the Maritime Security Service had received the CAT and three hydro Thornycroft 40 feet and three from 55 feet.

In this bad image of the magazine World Chart November 29, 1922, you can see just next to the steam "No. 1" of the CAT two boats appear to be ex-CMBS 55-foot .

therefore appears to be safe and proven that at least 3-CAT CMBS available 55ft, 40ft and 3 CMBS, though possibly receive any more, as according to the Minutes of the Governing Body of the CAT, is approved the purchase of 6 units of 55ft CMB. Therefore, if approved, is carried out, the total CMBS who served in the CAT have been 9 units.

latter amount could be confirmed if we indeed Thornycroft documentary sources, all credit worthy, which stand at the Malaga 7 CMBS January 14, 1923 as newcomers. Then on the other hand there are graphic evidence (World magazine and Black and White Figure) that in late 1922 and in Barcelona were two CMBS possibly 55ft model. So adding those two to the other seven, we give the total of nine sources with the CAT were purchased for sea service.

As our beloved historian and friend Don Juan Luis Coello Lillo, at the end of 1925 three of these boats (probably three in 55 feet), which were in Manchester, went to the Navy, being reviewed in Cartagena and towed Arsenal to Barcelona in early 1926, to serve in the Naval Air Force, replacing the previous boats "H" (five ex-British vessels of ML type of the First World War, built in the U.S. by the renowned firm ELCO, the Electric Launch Company of Bayonne, New Jersey, serving with the Navy between 1921 and 1925). He also believes Don Juan Luis most likely will transfer to the Navy three boats of 40 feet, because in 1931 there were four boats "H" in the administrative process for disposal by the Admiralty, and was not the "ML" original and disappeared many years earlier.

Navy appears that these boats were named "H-1" to "H-6", which, curiously, the same as those taken into the CAT, with the difference that in this the numbers were Romans (ie, the "HI" to "M-VI).

addition, the Conway Maritime Press in its publication "All The World's Fighting Ships 1922-1946", notes also the existence of 6 CMBS in the English Navy.

On the other hand, in his book "Chronicle of the English naval aviation, and Rafael de la Guardia Pascual de POBIL, refer to the passage of these vessels by the Navy, ... "To monitor the smuggling of war with Morocco, the Navy acquired the Tabacalera three speedboats patent" Thornycroft, a British source ... "and then refers to other ... "Speedboats Tabacalera acquired for the service of the Naval Aviation School of Barcelona". "These boats were assigned in late November, as an endowment, a Navy lieutenant, a Master or crew after two mechanical and two sailors. The three boats were in 3rd position from 1 December. "All that happened during 1925.

The small footprint left by these vessels in Spain, of which there are hardly any references, perhaps because a few years they were on active duty. Juan Luis Coello Lillo informs us that in 1931 there were four boats "H" in the administrative process for disposal by the Ministry of the Navy, so we can deduce that they were just five years ago those who served in the Navy. Less still should be the time that the ex-"CMBS" were part of the surveillance maritime Tenant Tobacco Company.

Perhaps its short lifespan could be due between other causes, to its propulsion system, trusted the first gasoline engines not very refined and also forced to work at very high speeds. These were designed as torpedo boats, to intervene in specific attacks and not for a continuous daily monitoring service that is sure to soon shorten the life of their engines.

As we said earlier, though so far not much information we could find on this type of boat, we felt it was important to make it known given that as we discussed the history Navy has completely forgotten this fact, even the historians who have written about the English Armada. Let alone the difficulty of finding data on the maritime service of the CAT, for which there is no single book published. However further research, I am sure that someday we will find more information, "he who seeks finds."

This article has been published in magazines Kampania Russian Morskaya, at No. 100 of the Okrety Wojenne Polish and the English Navy General Magazine.

Highlights of CMB 40 feet

Length: 13.7 meters.
Beam: 2.6 meters.
Draft: 0.8 meters.
Displacement: 5 tons.
Engine: Thornycroft engine mounted Originally, Fiat or Green gas between 250 and 275 HP, depending on the unit. Which were delivered to the CAT were engined with a Thornycroft engine V-12 gasoline 250 HP.
Maximum speed: 33.4 knots.
Armament: Originally were armed with a 18-inch torpedo, and from 2 to 4 .303 caliber Lewis machine guns. All armament and torpedo launch system they were removed to the units to the CAT.

The pilot house is approximate profile, the CAT certainly would be something different, so other boats should be identical to that of the drawing.

Features of the CMB of 55 feet

Length: 18.3 meters.
Beam: 3.4 meters.
Draft: 0.9 meters.
Propulsion: 2 Thornycroft petrol engines of 250 HP to two propellers.
Speed: 35.2 knots.
Hull: Constructed of Mahogany wood (mahogany range).
Displacement: 11 tons.
Armament: Originally were armed with two 18-inch torpedo, depth charges and 4 .303 caliber Lewis machine guns.

* The displacement and velocity are the CMBS data from the Royal Navy, but presumably that necessary for the CAT, once deprived of all their weapons, had a significantly smaller displacement, and therefore higher speeds.

* The fact that the CAT call this type of boats with the generic name of "hydroplane" or simply "hydro" surely comes from the name under which initially met in England this type of boat, "Hydroplane ." Do not forget that these were the first combat units of the story that could reach planing speeds. Therefore, this term at all what we have to translate in Spain so we understand how "Seaplane", which in Britain would be called " seaplane.

In the short video that shows you can see some CMBS 55ft of the Royal Navy.
