![]() ![]() His subsequent vessels were paddle-wheeled boats. The craft achieved a speed of 4 mph (6.4 km/h), but Stevens abandoned propellers due to the inherent danger in using the high-pressure steam engines. In 1802, American lawyer and inventor John Stevens built a 25-foot (7.6 m) boat with a rotary steam engine coupled to a four-bladed propeller. ![]() He tested it on the transport ship Doncaster at Gibraltar and Malta, achieving a speed of 1.5 mph (2.4 km/h). In February 1800, Edward Shorter of London proposed using a similar propeller attached to a rod angled down temporarily deployed from the deck above the waterline and thus requiring no water seal, and intended only to assist becalmed sailing vessels. In 1785, Joseph Bramah of England proposed a propeller solution of a rod going through the underwater aft of a boat attached to a bladed propeller, though he never built it. It was made to be turned by the hand or foot." The brass propeller, like all the brass and moving parts on Turtle, was crafted by Issac Doolittle of New Haven. Bushnell later described the propeller in an October 1787 letter to Thomas Jefferson: "An oar formed upon the principle of the screw was fixed in the forepart of the vessel its axis entered the vessel and being turned one way rowed the vessel forward but being turned the other way rowed it backward. Turtle also has the distinction of being the first submarine used in battle. ![]() On the night of September 6, 1776, Sergeant Ezra Lee piloted Turtle in an attack on HMS Eagle in New York Harbor. Bushnell's brother Ezra Bushnell and ship's carpenter and clock maker Phineas Pratt constructed the hull in Saybrook, Connecticut. One of the first practical and applied uses of a propeller was on a submarine dubbed Turtle which was designed in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1775 by Yale student and inventor David Bushnell, with the help of clock maker, engraver, and brass foundryman Isaac Doolittle. In 1771, steam-engine inventor James Watt in a private letter suggested using "spiral oars" to propel boats, although he did not use them with his steam engines, or ever implement the idea. At about the same time, the French mathematician Alexis-Jean-Pierre Paucton suggested a water propulsion system based on the Archimedean screw. In 1752, the Academie des Sciences in Paris granted Burnelli a prize for a design of a propeller-wheel. In 1693 a Frenchman by the name of Du Quet invented a screw propeller which was tried in 1693 but later abandoned. Robert Hooke in 1681 designed a horizontal watermill which was remarkably similar to the Kirsten-Boeing vertical axis propeller designed almost two and a half centuries later in 1928 two years later Hooke modified the design to provide motive power for ships through water. In 1661, Toogood and Hays proposed using screws for waterjet propulsion, though not as a propeller. Later, Leonardo da Vinci adopted the screw principle to drive his theoretical helicopter, sketches of which involved a large canvas screw overhead. A flying toy, the bamboo-copter, was enjoyed in China beginning around 320 AD. It was probably an application of spiral movement in space (spirals were a special study of Archimedes) to a hollow segmented water-wheel used for irrigation by Egyptians for centuries. The origin of the screw propeller starts at least as early as Archimedes (c. 287 – c. 212 BC), who used a screw to lift water for irrigation and bailing boats, so famously that it became known as Archimedes' screw. Propellers can have a single blade, but in practice there are nearly always more than one so as to balance the forces involved. The innovation introduced with the screw propeller was the extension of that arc through more than 360° by attaching the blade to a rotating shaft. In sculling, a single blade is moved through an arc, from side to side taking care to keep presenting the blade to the water at the effective angle. The principle employed in using a screw propeller is derived from sculling. ![]()

![]() It is one of the most gruesome facts of the war that the French, peering through the moonlight at what they thought to be stealthily crawling Germans, found them to be wounded men frozen to death. This instance serves to illustrate the precarious weather in which the Germans undertook adventure. The French and German officers, without conferring and unwilling to negotiate, turned their backs so they might not see officially so unwarlike a scene, and the men on each side rebuilt their parapets without the firing of a single shot. The situation was astounding and unique in the history of trench warfare. The parapets melted and subsided, and two long lines of men stood up naked, as it were, before each other, face to face with only two possibilities: wholesale murder on the one side or the other, or a temporary unofficial peace for the making of fresh parapet protections. The opposing French and German trenches, their parapets hard frozen, were so close that they were actually within hearing of each other. Changes of temperature, too, are somewhat more frequent than elsewhere - not long ago here occurred one of nature's furious and romantic reminders of her power to impose her will. The district of Verdun lies in one of the coldest and most misty sectors in the long line between Nieuport and Switzerland. ![]() It cannot be pretended the attack had in it anything of military necessity. The profits - as the soldier speaks of such matters - being so small, what then were the motives that impelled the attack on Verdun? Was it economic pressure which led to the miscalculation that the taking over of the French line here was a means of ending the war? The Germans are so wont to misread the minds of other nations that they are quite foolish enough to make themselves believe this or any other foolish thing. Taking into account all available indications, it may safely be assumed that, during the fighting of the first 13 days, the Germans lost in killed, wounded and prisoners at least 100,000 men. Yet none of the prisoners questioned estimated the losses at less than one-third of the total effectives. Above all we have helped the French immensely by relieving the pressure on Verdun’.Nothing whatever has been admitted by the Germans as to the appalling price in blood they have paid and are still paying. will smash him in his deep dug outs… Anyhow we have shown the Bosche that we can rush his line on a wide front and I think we shall penetrate the second line if the ammunition holds out. We are going to beat the Germans by heavy howitzers and trench mortars as they. I was promised 200 of these but have only received 25. We are not too well off for ammunition for our heavy howitzers and we require more heavy trench mortars, which have performed invaluable service to the French in this attack. It speaks well of the courage of the New Armies, but had they had more time to devote to training they would have been able to hold on to many points from which they were driven by a few enterprising German machine-gunners. 29 Brigades (about 100,000 men) were taking part in the first assault the percentage is not so high… I cannot speak too highly of the spirit and self-sacrifice of the rank and file. ![]() ‘The casualties have of course been heavy and the figures look large, but when one considers that. ![]() ![]() ![]() Click the picture to go to my TV page and see a video of this little item.

This page is about how to properly and thoroughly uninstall KeeWeb 1.5.0 from Mac. If you have no clue how to do it right, or have difficulty in getting rid of KeeWeb 1.5.0, the removal solutions provided in the post could be helpful. General knowledge: Once installed, an app is typically stored in the /Applications directory, and the user preferences for how the app is configured are stored in ~/Library/Preferences directory. Additionally, some apps may create supporting files, caches, login files scattering around the system directory. ![]() That means, if you simply trash the app and think the removal is done, you’re wrong. The trash-to-delete method may leave some junk files behind, resulting in incomplete uninstall. Question 1: How can I uninstall KeeWeb 1.5.0 from my Mac? So, when you decide to uninstall KeeWeb 1.5.0 on Mac, you will need to tackle the following two questions. Most Mac apps are self-contained, and the trash-to-delete option works on all versions of Mac OS X and later. Step 3: Search for KeeWeb 1.5.0 in the /Applications folder, then drag its icon to the Trash icon located at the end of the Dock, and drop it there.Step 2: Launch Finder on your Mac, and click Applications in the Finder sidebar.Step 1: Quit KeeWeb 1.5.0 as well as its related process(es) if they are still running.Here’s the regular steps to uninstall KeeWeb 1.5.0 on Mac: In most circumstances you can take the drag-and-drop way to delete KeeWeb 1.5.0 from your computer.

Being prompted that “The item KeeWeb 1.5.0 can’t be moved to the Trash because it’s open”? This message occurs because KeeWeb 1.5.0 (or its background process) is still running. To quit an app, the common way is to right click app icon on the Dock and choose Quit option. To find out and kill related background process(es), you can run Activity Monitor (located in /Applications/Utilities folder) instead.
