Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom,
lead thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
lead thou me on!
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
the distant scene; one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
lead thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
pride ruled my will: remember not past years!
So long thy power hath blessed me, sure it still
will lead me on.
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
the night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
John Henry Newman, 1833
Tidying up ready for some serious room re-organisation..... and found this old cigar box, which contains my Dad's old lead soldiers. Very battered, they were clearly well loved and played with.
UPDATE: Just done a bit of ebay surfing to try and find out more - and I think they were made by Betta Toys, which were (are?) an irish company
On April 10, 2015, Daniel Jones, one of the busiest comic hypnotists in the entertainment industry, appeared at Dulany Auditorium at William Woods University. Having appeared on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX affiliates across the country and considered a master in the art of illusion, Daniel is recognized internationally by his peers as a top inventor, designer and engineer of original theatrical illusions. Daniel's work has appeared on America's Got Talent, The Tonight Show, The Ellen Show and at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas! This event was provided as part of the LEAD program.
What was life like on a Russian North Pole Drifting Station? Some scientists and researchers were kind enough to lend us photographs, taken on various stations.
A small lead (or crack in the ice) has opened in the foreground. New leads, which form under wind stress when the ice diverges, were a constant threat to the camps. Camps often had to be relocated because of the sudden appearance of an ice lead through the middle of the camp (unless the crack appeared during summer and was simply a melt channel).
Just prior to the start of World War II, the USSR set up a research camp on drifting ice near the North Pole in 1937. The drift continued for 274 days during which the station travelled more the 2,600 kilometers (1,600 miles), obtaining the first scientific observations from that high latitude. In 1950, USSR set up a second station. Between 1937 to 1991, 88 polar crews drifted on ice flows for a total of 29,726 days. This research program is unequalled in the 20th century by duration, variety of observational material, and importance of scientific discoveries. On average researchers spent nine months at each camp.

CPT Matthew Strand, commander of Co. C, 2nd Battalion, 18th Infantry Regt., 170th Brigade Combat Team, prepares to lead his soldiers into Red Square for a rehearsal for the Victory Day Parade in Moscow, Russia.
GTW 5933 & GTW 5931 led a rail train (W905) that was dropping off rail on the Montreal Sub. It later headed into Taschereau Yard.
Lead strips to place on either side of the matrix used to create spacing between lines. Used as part of the hot metal printing process at Waverley Cameron.
Waverley Cameron were located in Blair Street, Edinburgh.Waverley Cameron started as Nisbet MacNiven, a paper maker, in 1770 at Balerno, just outside Edinburgh. It then developed as a stationery wholesaler, after moving into the middle of Edinburgh in 1788. The first Camerons appeared on the scene in 1840 and the name was changed to MacNiven and Cameron in 1845. The Waverley nib (narrow waist and upturned point) was first manufactured for the company by Gillott in 1864, and later by Hinks, Wells. Gillott made the Waverley Pens until the mid 1870s, when they were transferred to Hinks Wells. In 1900, MacNiven and Cameron bought a factory in Birmingham and started to manufacture their pens themselves. The Birmingham factory was at the Watery Lane site from 1900 to 1964. Towards the end of that period, the factory was making mainly paper clips, of the barrel spring type, but some nib manufaturing continued to the end. The Waverley Pen continued, little changed, in production for exactly 100 years, until the Birmingham factory was closed in 1964.
