Elberon Memorial Church
70 Park Avenue
Elberon, New Jersey 07740
(732) 870-2241
The Elberon Memorial Church is a beautiful summer sanctuary located one block from the beach in Elberon, NJ. All denominations are welcome. Located one block from Ocean Avenue in the Elberon section of Long Branch, NJ, it opened on June 16, 1886 as a summer church for the many members of wealthy New York society that summered in the Long Branch area. The church was built by the widow of Moses B. Taylor, Catherine Wilson Taylor as a memorial to her late husband.
The architecture of the building was designed by the eminent New York architect Stanford White. White was a friend of Louis Tiffany of Tiffany Glass. The rose window at the narthex of the church is an original Tiffany Glass Window. Experts have described the other windows in the church as the finest 14th Century style stained glass in the country. Each window is a memorial presented by a child of Moses Taylor. The beautiful cobalt window could not be replaced today because the manufacture of blue stained glass of that type has become a "lost art".
A gothic structure, it boasts unusual woodwork, an historic tracker action pipe organ built by Hilborne Roosevelt, a cousin of Theodore Roosevelt, and windows executed by the Mayer Brothers in Munich, Germany. It should be noted that it was through his work as an organ builder that Hilborne Roosevelt applied his knowledge of mechanical organ switches to the new field of telephony and developed an early switching system for the newly formed New York Telephone Company of which he was also a founding member. The Mayer Brothers windows have been described by experts as among the finest examples of fourteenth century stained glass window design in America.
Moses Taylor (January 11, 1806 â May 23, 1882) was a 19th-century New York merchant and banker and one of the wealthiest men of that century. At his death, his estate was reported to be worth $70 million, or about $1.7 billion in today's dollars. He controlled the National City Bank of New York (later to become Citibank), the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad, the Moses Taylor & Co. import business, and he held numerous other investments in railroads and industry.
Building Radio Kootwijk, Veluwe NL - 1922 - architect Julius Maria Luthmann.
The housing accommodations of Radio Kootwijk arose as a result of the building of a shortwave transmitter site with the same name, starting in 1918. The transmitters played an important role in the 20th century as a communication facility between the Netherlands and its colony of Dutch East Indies. In 1923 Dutch PTT (Post, Telegraph and Telephone Company) started trans-oceanic telegraphy using a longwave transmitter, a 400 KW high frequency alternator, from the German Telefunken company under the call sign PCG, in the 24 kHz and 48 kHz. By 1925 the longwave transmitter was changed by a shortwave tube based, electronic transmitter which had a much better performance due to the better propagation of short waves. With this new technology, in 1928 a radio-telephonic connection was established. At the end of World War II, the German occupying forces blew up the transmitter. Afterward some of the radio towers were rebuilt. Due to the development of new technologies like satellite communication, Radio Kootwijk lost its position as main overseas wireless connection point of the Netherlands. In 1980, the last transmission mast was blown up. In 2004 the park lost its last transmitter functions, and was transferred from the telephone company to the State Forestry Commission, which started attracting new buyers. The main building of the former transmitter park and named 'Building A', 'The Cathedral' or sometimes 'The Sphinx', was officially appointed as a monument. It is used as venue and scenery for several cultural events and productions, including the American film Mind Hunters in 2004.
The Torre dei Lamberti is a medieval tower in Verona , 84 meters high, which rises from Piazza Erbe , the ancient Roman Forum , in the historic center of the city .
With the exception of the Italian Telecom Tower in the district of San Michele Extra (149 meters) and the Borgo Roma Italy Telecom Tower (102 meters), as structures for telephony, the Torre dei Lamberti holds the record for tallest building in the city of Verona , followed by the white bell tower of the Cathedral , 74.9 meters high.
The origins
The tower was commissioned by the powerful family Lamberti (subsequently banished from Verona and extinct), which began to build it in the eleventh century . At that dates back to the lowest part in tan brick and tufa . In 1140 , in the middle age city, was elected to the civic tower was installed and the first bell , of which nothing is known. In 1272 the statutes stated that, in addition to the bell of ' Arengo (then known as Rengo, he called in the assembly meeting), there was also another, the Marangona (derived from "joiner", which in Veronese dialect means carpenter ), to signal the beginning and end of work activities
In the fourteenth century
In 1311 a bell was recast and a new addition, called the Consolata. In 1394 it fell to Gianfrancesco da Legnago redo the Rengo [2] , which was then also used to scan the executions of death sentences, alarms, signs of fire, the gathering of the militia and the arrival of a plague. Were present at the bell, with the function of janitors, prison guards (the tower usually housed some prison) and lookouts. They were wrong salaried, but staying free of charge in the tower and were exempt from taxes and military obligations
Venetian period
In May 1403 a bolt of lightning struck the top of the tower, and only in 1448 work began on the restoration and elevation. that lasted until 1464 . In 1406 the bell made ââa plea for the Venetian governor ( Verona recently came under the rule of the Venetian Republic ), maintained their privileges, from what he confirmed. Have come down to us the names of the players of the time: John Bonifacio from San Giovanni in Valle , Christopher Michael from St Nazaire , Benassù James from Santa Maria in Organo , John Nicholas Hood from San Fermo . In 1452 all'Archicampanista Gasparino from Vicenza was awarded the recasting of the bells Marangona and Rengo. In 1471 it was again rebuilt since the Marangona cracked. In the meantime ( 1464 ) ended the work of raising, bringing the tower to reach the 84 meters, completed in style Gothic , in its present form
In 1521 the Bonaventurini remade the Rengo, which was recast by them in 1557 , getting one that still rings on the tower, octagonal within the cell. In 1597 the dynasty Levo From recast the Marangona, as noted by the teacher Gardoni "Gothic in shape." We also know the identity of ringers into service in 1606 , Roger Minali and children, replaced in his role, from 1632 to 1797 by the family Tanara, in whose chronicles remember that their elderly was burned by a lightning while stretched out a window of tower; a young man fell from the same of their family without suffering any injury
In the eighteenth century

In 1779 the famous founder Joseph Ruffini prepared a bell of hours is (in agreement with the eighth Rengo) and another called Rabbiosa to complete the deal that appeared as:
Rengo : note is flat , fused by Bonaventurini in 1557 ;
Marangona : known Kings , melted by the Da Levo in 1597 ;
Angry : note Fa sharp , cast by Ruffini in 1779 ;
Consolata or Bajona : note the , fused by an unknown in 1311 ;
Doorbell hours : note is flat , fused by Ruffini in 1779 .
These are the bells that rang during the historical event of the Veronese Easters
Also in 1779 there was a proposal to place a large clock on the tower, but the watchmaker who had to do the work died before they start. It was, in 1798 , Count John Sagramoso in place, at his own expense, the clock, replacing that of the nearby Torre del Gardello , who had stopped working for some time
From the nineteenth century to the present day
In 1833 the Knight John Cavadini, director of a foundry bells rival that of his brother Francis, recast Marangona Rabbiosa Bajona and getting the current complex consists of:
Rengo : note is flat 2, diameter 184 cm, weight 4215 kg. Fused by Bonaventurini in 1557 . is one of the best bells Renaissance and from the point of view of acoustic and decorative, as well as a rarity for age and size.
Marangona : known Kings 3, diameter 130 cm, weight 1300 kg. Excellent and rich fusion of John Cavadini of 1833 . It is one of the best achievements of the period and, without doubt, the best of this smelter.
Bajona : note Fa 3, diameter 108 cm, weight 750 kg. Merged with the Marangona.
Bell : note is flat 3, diameter 82 cm, weight 330 kg. Fused by Ruffini in 1779 . It was used as a clock signal.
The whole forms a fundamental harmonic arrangement of four bronzes to jump ( Sib 2 - King 3 - Makes 3 - Sib 3), as was the custom in the Baroque era.
At the beginning of the twentieth century the task was entrusted to the bell of St. Anastasia . It was the Rengo, November 4 1918 , 10:30, playing a party to announce the armistice with Austria , the end of the First World War . After the Second World War , the management of the bells of the tower passed to companies bell of Santa Maria in Organo (which in 1994 was absorbed by St. Anastasia )
The tower is now open to the public and you can get in the belfries thanks to the stairs or the elevator, enjoying the panoramic view of the city.

The city was the capital of Brazil for nearly two centuries, from 1763 to 1815 during the Portuguese colonial era, 1815 to 1821 as the capital of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves, and from 1822 to 1960 as an independent nation. Rio is nicknamed the Cidade Maravilhosa or "Marvelous City."
Rio de Janeiro represents the second largest GDP in the country [5] (and 30th largest in the world [6]), estimated at about 140 billion reais (IBGE/2007), and is the headquarters of two major Brazilian companies – Petrobras and Vale, and major oil companies and telephony in Brazil, besides the largest conglomerate of media and communications companies in Latin America, the Globo Organizations. The home of many universities and institutes, it is the second largest center of research and development in Brazil, accounting for 17% of national scientific production – according to 2005 data.[7]
Rio de Janeiro is the most visited city in the southern hemisphere and is known for its natural settings, carnival celebrations, samba, Bossa Nova, balneario beaches[8] such as Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon. Some of the most famous landmarks in addition to the beaches include the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer ('Cristo Redentor') atop Corcovado mountain, named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World; Sugarloaf mountain (Pão de Açúcar) with its cable car; the Sambódromo, a permanent grandstand-lined parade avenue which is used during Carnival; and Maracanã stadium, one of the world's largest football stadiums.

A dashpot relay is a special long delay relay. The contacts face up and the tube faces down. The tube holds a special type of oil. Delays can be in minutes.
The polarized relay is designed to detect polarity of the voltage and only has one contact. Adjustment is made with sensativity screws and a current flow test set .
The 26 switch has one coil. With each impulse it moves to the next position. These switches can have multiple levels of contacts. See WECo GCO DSS photo for another example.
These relays were used in older Centerl Offices to detect when a phone went off hok for dialtone. Intentionally these relays can not be blocked operated. The ones here are for wire wrap connections.

Piccadilly Circus is a famous road junction and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster, built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with the major shopping street of Piccadilly. In this context a circus, from the Latin word meaning a circle, is a circular open space at a street junction.
It now links directly to the theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue as well as the Haymarket, Coventry Street (onwards to Leicester Square), and Glasshouse Street. The Circus is close to major shopping and entertainment areas in the heart of the West End. Its status as a major traffic-intersection has made Piccadilly Circus a busy meetingplace and a tourist attraction in its own right.
The Circus is particularly known for its video display and neon signs mounted on the corner building on the northern side, as well as the Shaftesbury memorial fountain and statue of an archer popularly known as Eros (sometimes called The Angel of Christian Charity, but intended to be Anteros). It is surrounded by several noted buildings, including the London Pavilion and Criterion Theatre. Directly underneath the plaza is Piccadilly Circus London Underground station.
Neon Signs
Piccadilly Circus used to be surrounded by illuminated advertising hoardings on buildings, starting in the early 1900s,[citation needed] but only one building now carries them, the one in the north-western corner between Shaftesbury Avenue and Glasshouse Street. The site is unnamed (usually referred to as Monico after the Café Monico which used to be on the site); its addresses are 44/48 Regent Street, 1/6 Sherwood Street, 17/22 Denman Street and 1/17 Shaftesbury Avenue, and has been owned by property investor Land Securities Group since the 1970s.
The earliest signs used incandescent light bulbs, these were replaced with neon lamps, as well as moving signs (there was a large Guinness clock at one time). From December 1998 digital projectors were briefly used for the Coke sign, while the early 2000s have seen a gradual move to LED displays. The number of signs has reduced over the years as the rental costs have increased.
As of 2008, the site has six illuminated advertising screens above three large retail units, facing Piccadilly Circus on the north side, occupied by Boots, and GAP and a mix of smaller retail, restaurant and office premises fronting the other streets. A Burger King located under the Samsung advert which had been previously a Wimpy Bar until the late 1980s had closed in early 2008 and has now been converted into a Barclays Bank.
Coca-Cola have had a sign at Piccadilly Circus since 1955. The sign dates from September 2003, when the previous digital projector board and the site formerly occupied by Nescafé was replaced with a state-of-the-art LED video display that curves round with the building. On November 23 2007 the very first film was broadcast through the board. Paul Atherton's film The Ballet of Change: Piccadilly Circus was allowed five minutes to show the first non-commercial film depicting the history of Piccadilly Circus and the lights. The former Nescafé advert site had also been occupied by a neon advertisement for Fosters until about 1999 and for three months in 2002 between the display of the Nescafé advert and the enlarged Coca Cola advert this part of Piccadilly Circus had featured the quote "Imagine all the people living life in peace" by Beatle John Lennon. This was paid for by his wife Yoko Ono who spent an estimated £150,000 to display an advert at this location.
Sanyo's sign is the oldest out of the six, having been installed in the late 1980s and remaining unchanged ever since. However, earlier Sanyo signs with older logos have occupied that position since at least 1980.
TDK replaced the space formerly occupied by Kodak in 1990. Their sign has remained almost unchanged since, although in 2001 the colour of the background lamps were changed from green to blue, and the words 'Audio & Video Tape' and 'Floppy Disks' under the logo was removed.
McDonald's added a sign in the mid-1980s, replacing one for BASF. In 2001 the sign was changed from neon to an animated LED screen, which was further changed to a bigger, brighter LED screen in 2008.
Samsung replaced a sign for Panasonic in November 1994, and the sign was upgraded from neon to LED in 2005.
Piccadilly Lite was added on 3 December 2007, placed under the Samsung and McDonald's signs. This is an LED screen that allows other companies to advertise for both short and long term leases, increasing the amount of advertising space but using the same screen for multiple brands.
The British mobile telephony company Vodafone used to have a neon sign installed on the roof of Coventry House, which diagonally faces Piccadilly Circus. In addition to the logo of the company, the sign displayed personal messages that could be submitted on a special website and displayed at a certain time and date. As of February 2007, this has been replaced by a new, larger LED video-advertising display for LGE, the British arm of South Korean electronics group LG. The new display also incorporates a scrolling ticker of Sky News headlines.
On special occasions the lights are switched off, such as the deaths of Winston Churchill in 1965 and Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997. On 21 June 2007 they were switched off for 1 hour as part of the Lights Out London campaign.

6.How to avoid being trapped by poor quality VoIP
VoIP stands for “Voice Over Internet Protocol” … Not ‘Voice Over the Internet’.
I have witnessed inexperienced sales people promise ‘perfect voice quality’ using ADSL internet connections. The reality is ADSL is simply not reliable enough to use for business grade communications.
VoIP technology can work extremely well. It can deliver a secure, high quality and low cost phone service. To avoid being trapped by poor audio quality, discuss your options and strategies to construct a purpose built network for voice communications.

+ this transistor is less than 1mm wide
+ no PS manipulation or cropping except dust cleaning
++ All modern electronic equipment contain at least a few transistors ~ this particular model (2N4033) is used for telephony. Your average personal computer contain millions to billions of transistors!
++ The base is made of either silicon or germanium. Without transistors, we might still be using bulky thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) which is very difficult to miniturize =D
These switches have one coil and could operate at self-interrupted speeds up to 60 sps! There was an off normal contact so they could be wired to return to normal.

Finally! With the final piece of the puzzle provided to me by Cisco TAC, I've got a Nokia E-Series phone connecting directly to Cisco CallManager Express on our 2811 ISR (running IOS 12.4(9)T1). This is using SIP, not the (still coming?) software from Cisco/Nokia that makes the phone talk SCCP instead.
ie. (for friends who read all this and said "huh?") with one of these phones, you can have it connect via wi-fi to your office's phone system and make/receive normal local calls via the office phone lines rather than paying mobile rates. or that's the idea, anyway.
what doesn't (apparently) work so well is connecting to other SIP providers on the internet, since Nokia haven't implemented NAT traversal for getting through firewalls yet. You might be able to do it, though, depending on where you are.
More info (including IOS config) here.
If you're not interested in CallManager Express, you might want to make it work with Asterisk, which I've also done.

To meet this growing business demand Blueface has furthered its commitment to R&D and is working closely with technical partners such as Panasonic to deploy a best in class, innovative service.

Information about the use of radio on the Zeppelins.
I took this so I could translate it from German, which I've finally added below.
In case you hadn't guessed, "Funk" is German for "radio."
-- Mostly coherent, with (lots of) help from Google Translate --
The importance of wireless telegraphy for the transmission of weather and navigation messages was realised very early on.
This was one of radiocommunications transmitter, receiver and antenna and a power supply is needed.
Due to the danger of explosion, the equipment had to be built into compact sound- and gas-proof cabinets.
In 1908, a unit of the Society for Wireless Telegraphy (Telefunken) facilitated the first radio experiments on a blimp.
In 1919, radio transmitters were used to overcome distances up to 6000 kilometers.
The experience in airship technology led to the development of the first radios in reconnaissance aircraft.
At the end of the First World War, the circular tube (?) multiple transmitters and receivers were introduced.
Thus the succeeded wireless telephony and the use of rotating antenna for the radio navigation.
That built the later developed automatic target travel and fog landing procedures at radio.
Civilian, intercontinental transport airships achieved radio ranges of over 10000 kilometers.
This was made possible with help from the short-wave radio transmitter used in 1928.
