The circumstances of the loss of HMAS Sydney II in November 1941 have, until now, largely been determined by officialdom. A Parliamentary Inquiry Report by the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade in 1999 was noncommittal in explaining the actions of the Sydney’s Captain, Joseph Burnett, in approaching the German raider, HSK Kormoran, whereas the Cole Commission of Inquiry conducted in 2008-9 held Burnett completely responsible for the loss of the cruiser. Commissioner Cole alleged that Captain Burnett chased the unknown vessel for an hour and a half at a speed of 14 knots (approx 20 nautical miles) after the vessel had turned away upon encountering the cruiser, that Burnett carelessly assessed the disguised raider as appearing innocent at all times, and that Burnett did not go to action stations and approached the vessel to within point-blank range to finally ascertain her identity. However, new evidence based on Kormoran’s actual navigation has found the raider sailed a much shorter distance (approx. eight nautical miles) from the turning point to the battle site, and as a consequence, Burnett had earlier ordered the suspected enemy vessel to stop. That Kormoran was ordered to stop clearly demonstrates that many of the findings made by Commissioner Cole are now unsustainable and that far from being careless, Burnett had indeed followed the prescribed challenge procedures. The navigation also confirms that both vessels were stationary or moving very slowly at the moment the action began, exposing Kormoran’s Captain Detmers’ use of the underwater torpedo tube in delivering the initial catastrophic blow to the Sydney.
Rewinding Small Motors describes the technique of rewinding various types of motors, such as split phase, capacitor-start, repulsion, repulsion-induction, repulsion-start, shaded pole, three-phase induction, universal, and d.c. The book describes in detail the rewinding process. The technician should start by determining the following: (1) coil connection; (2) number of turns per coil; (3) number of coils per pole; (4) the gauge of the wire; and (5) the space occupied by the winding. The book notes the importance of the varieties of wind and the various techniques adopted to obtain the optimum wind for any particular type of armature. Varnishing and finishing forms part of the whole operation; this adds insulation between turns, secures the whole winding against the action of centrifugal force, and also seals the part from moisture or dust. A motor-driven winding machine should have speed control, a lead-screw reverser, and a wire guide. The book points out that a coil cannot be wound anyhow as the coil voltage governs the technique of winding that is to be used. The book is suitable for fitters, engineers, apprentices, technicians, and students of mechanical or electrical engineering.

Royal Portraits in Hollywood by Elizabeth A. Ford,Deborah C. Mitchell Pdf
Few lives provide as much history or drama as those of monarchs. Filmmakers from the silent era to onward have displayed a deep fascination with the lives of royalty and with queens in particular. Still, the question remains: what do these films really tell us about the women beneath the crowns? Drawing on films from the 1930s to those of today, Royal Portraits in Hollywood: Filming the Lives of Queens investigates the ways in which these films reproduce history and represent women. Though hardly progressive in nature, many early films offered an acceptable, nonthreatening way to present strong female characters in an economic and social landscape run almost exclusively by men. Authors Elizabeth Ford and Deborah Mitchell track the evolution of queens on film, noting how depictions of prominent women have changed over the past several decades and calling attention to the ways in which films both reflect and dictate the social norms of their eras. By comparing historical records of monarchs such as Queen Christina of Sweden, Catherine the Great, Cleopatra, and Elizabeth I with their onscreen personas, and examining the biographical details of the actresses who portrayed these women, Ford and Mitchell present a fascinating inquiry into issues of historical accuracy and gender politics in film.
