It used the new BMC C-Series 2.6-litre straight-six engine which, with a single Zenith carb, produced 85bhp. Suspension was independent at the front using coil springs and wishbones, with leaf springs and anti-roll bar on the live axle at the rear. The four-speed column-change transmission had synchromesh on the top three ratios.

They were as tough as old boots, and even in period competed successfully on International rallies. Nowadays they remain a long-distance rally car of choice, their eminently tuneable C-series engines able to take lots of punishment, as can the sturdy bodyshell and rugged suspension.

This superb 1956 model registers just over 32.000 miles on the clock, which although unsubstantiated, could well be correct given the superb original condition of the car. Show car or race car – those are the options. What happens next is entirely down to you.

The V5C shows five previous owners, although sadly there is no other paperwork with the car.

We do know that its last MOT took place in 2012, but it has seen so little use over the last 12 years that some recommissioning work is bound to be required, however a few weekends work should have it back to near show condition.

At the top end of the Cowgate the main thoroughfare through the town of Kirkintilloch lies the Barony Chambers Clock Steeple.

The Category B Listed historic landmark was built between 1814 and 1815 to provide a meeting place for the then Kirkintilloch Town Council , a Court House including two jail cells and a Parish School. Prior to 1806 there was a Tolbooth that once stood on the site

The Clock

Y Cloc

Well-meaning, and right-mindedly

I sing. Fate is kind to me:

My soul takes flight to the fair town

With round tower at crag’s crown,

Finds a girl, of former fame:

My unforgotten old flame.

Through my Dream, moonlight fleeting

Beams on her a Dream of greeting.

Nightly now, her fetch shall fly

To tryst with me and linger nigh,

Or when, as in exhausted sleep,

My soul, unfettered, comes to creep

Within her chamber, I’ll appear

And speak with her till day is near

Like an angel, though my head

Lies pillowed in a distant bed.

Thus my otherworldly thought

Finds the lover I have sought

For age on age. The spell will break

The very moment I awake.

Damn the clock beside the dyke

That awoke me with one strike

Of the tongue between its teeth!

Curse the ropes and wheels beneath,

The stupid balls that dangle,

The hammer, the iron rectangle

Of its frame! Curse its quacking

And its endless mill-wheels clacking!

Churlish clock with canting clatter,

Clodhopping cobbler’s chatter,

Lies and treachery in your guts!

Hound-whelp’s maw that chews and gluts

On garbage, clapping jaws of spite!

Owl’s mill grinding through the night!

No saddler, crupper caked with crap

Could withstand the endless tap-

Tap-tapping of your ticker!

The very angels bark and bicker!

I had enjoyed – until this –

A dream of Heaven, untold bliss,

Wrapped within this woman’s arms

My head between her breasts. Charms

Of Eigr, beyond all cost.

Dong! Dong! Dong! And all are lost!

Come, my Dream, and seek once more

The airy highway to her door

And set my golden girl aglow

With slumbering love. My soul! Flow

To meet her! Moth! Take flight

And plunge into her orb of light!

Source material: Poem by Dafydd ap Gwilym, paraphrased by Giles Watson. Mechanical clocks of the kind derided in the poem were a newfangled technology in the fourteenth century, and are also mentioned by Chaucer and Jean Froissart. Once again, this poem draws on the llatai tradition, but in this case, the love-messenger is not the clock, but the poet’s Dream, which confers upon him the ability to fly by night to his beloved Eigr. As with Dafydd’s other beautiful dream poem, ‘Y Breuddwyd’, there are strong affinities with ‘The Dream of Maxen’ in the Mabinogion. It has been suggested that the town with the round tower on a hill is Brecon, which, with its marvellous setting, surrounded by the Black Mountains and the Brecon Hills, would seem to be an ideal place for souls to take flight. The poem implies that his soul can only make contact with that of his beloved when both of them are asleep and dreaming, and at the end of the paraphrase, I have introduced the soul-moth motif, which is a common feature of Celtic folklore. Cathedral cities such as Wells, Salisbury and St Albans did possess clocks of the type described by Dafydd, with chimes to mark the hours for the monastic offices, but it is impossible to know with which clock Dafydd was acquainted, and in the context of this poem, it appears that the clock was far removed from Brecon. For a more detailed examination of the historical background to this poem, see the notes to Rachel Bromwich’s prose translation, Dafydd ap Gwilym: Poems, Ceredigion, 1982, pp. 123-4.

孔乙己知道“茴”的N种写法，和此前辈不同的是：我们知道一个数字的N种写法，从1到12都伪装、变形、修饰了，我们将这种做法称为“婉约”。

为什么LOG(55)是4？因为太Geek了。

In most commonly-used programming languages, including C, C++, SAS, MATLAB, Fortran, and BASIC, “log” or “LOG” refers to the natural logarithm.

大部分编程语言都使用LOG的写法表示以自然对数为底。
