Ten vessels were ordered as the P2000 class, based on a design of an Omani coastguard cutter, from Watercraft Marine. They are twin-shaft vessels with moulded glass-reinforced plastic hulls. After that company went into liquidation, the balance of the order was completed by Vosper Thornycroft.
The Archers were initially used as RN patrol craft and as training tenders for the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR) and University Royal Naval Units (URNU). Four identical vessels were ordered for the Royal Naval Auxiliary Service (RNXS) as Example-class tenders. When that service was disbanded in 1994, the Examples were transferred to the RN for similar duties as their Archer-class brethren (under the same names under which they served as "XSVs", all of which begin with the first syllable "Ex"). Until 2005, the 4 Examples were still painted with a black hull.
In 1998 two additional vessels (Raider and Tracker) of this design were commissioned into the RN from Ailsa Shipbuilding Company, to replace HMS Loyal Watcher and Loyal Chancellor as URNU training vessels to the two newest URNUs, serving Cambridge and Oxford Universities respectively. This brought the total of Archer class vessels in the RN to 16, all of which are assigned to the 1st Patrol Boat Squadron (1PBS) (formerly the Inshore Training Squadron). Since 1991, 14 have been attached to URNUs (one per unit) under the command of a Lieutenant, RN. The remaining 2 vessels (Pursuer and Dasher), having formed the Cyprus Squadron from 2003 to 2010, and URNU vessels before that[2], returned to the UK in April 2010 to perform security duties within HMNB Clyde - these can be identified by a number of pintle-mounted L7 7.62 mm GPMG machine guns and armour plating. Ranger and Trumpeter were also formerly allocated to the Gibraltar Squadron for guard ship and search and rescue duties, but were replaced by the dedicated Scimitar-class. Unlike the remainder of the class, both these ships remain capable of being mounted with a 20mm cannon on the fo'c'sle.
The NATO designation of a P2000 is "PBR", denoting a "Patrol Boat - Riverine and Harbours".

Manufactory, now shops and clothing factory. 1913, with late C20 alterations. By Wood and Kendrick, architects of Birmingham, for Ginder and Ginder, diamond cutters and polishers . Painted brick and rendered exterior with concrete structural elements and detailing and with pitched roofs concealed by parapets. Functionalist pier and panel exterior enlivened by minimalist Edwardian Baroque detailing.
PLAN: Irregular H-plan, the complex linking Hockley Hill and Key Hill, and with display elevations to both frontages.
EXTERIOR: Hockley Street frontage of 4 storeys above a basement. Asymmetrical elevation, the windows occupying almost the entire frontage. The bays are arranged 1:2:1 with outer bays flanked by full height pilaster-like piers, the left-hand bay with an entrance to a stair well, the 2 centre bays with an off-centre doorway and a wide display window to the left, and a smaller window to the right. The right-hand bay has a wide ground floor window. Main doorway giving access to ground floor shops, formerly offices, with double 2 panel doors, ovolo-moulded surround, shallow- arched transom and multi-pane overlight. Doorway to left with shouldered segmental hood on brackets. Above doorways and altered window openings, wide display fascia below moulded cornice. Windows to upper floors have multi-pane metal frames, the heads and cills aligned in the 2 centre and right-hand bays. Left-hand bay with low, shallow- arched window above cornice, and windows above placed to light stair well levels. Piers flanking outer bays have dentilled caps , resembling the bases of open-bed pediments, behind which are parapet panels each bearing the inscription 'A.D.1913'
Key Hill elevation asymmetrical and more plainly detailed, with wide 4-light windows to bays 1 and 3 which retain presumed original transomed wooden frames with multi-pane transom lights. Doorway between the windows, this pattern determining the window pattern above, with wide and narrow multi-pane metal frames. Wide display fascia above doorway with sign which reads ' GEM BUILDINGS'. Right-hand bay with 3-light transomed window to ground floor, and 3 narrow lights to each upper floor.
HISTORY: The building plans show a sub-divided and heated basement floor with basement lights to the street elevations, a ground floor with front and rear entrances to multiple offices, and undivided workshop space to the 2 upper floors. The pitched roof is shown supported by a tensioned metal truss system.
A specialist manufactory of 1913, little-altered externally, and one of the earliest buildings in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter to display the influence of Functionalism in factory design.

An MBTA brush cutter is parked adjacent to the old Boston and Maine Depot. This unit occupies what would normally be the inbound main track. The brush cutter is not blocking rail traffic today because the inbound track is out of service account repair work on the Merrimack River Bridge. Note the yellow portable derail on the track behind the brush cutter. There is another derail behind the photographer.

One of the last Cuxhaven cutters returning home. Overfishing and climate change have made it almost impossible to fish near the city, so bigger and stronger boats are heading out thousands of miles to still make catch.

Thus far I have tried three different bits on my CNC to mill circuit boards. My favorite bit for cutting traces so far is a inexpensive $2.40 fish tail router that I've been purchasing through Drill Bit City. It's a little wide at .8mm ( 31.5 mils ) diameter for surface mount, but nice for quick through hole test boards. Previously I'd been experimenting with V shaped carving bits so that I could do very fine SMT work, but they needed to be run so slowly (avoid breaking the tip) and at such minimal depths that I had to wait hours for circuit boards to finish.
