Cavalier was one of 96 War Emergency Programme destroyers ordered between 1940 and 1942. She was one of the first ships to be built with the forward and aft portions of her hull welded, with the midsection riveted to ensure strength. The new process gave the ship additional speed. In 1970 a 64-mile race was arranged between Cavalier and the frigate Rapid, which had the same hull form and machinery. Cavalier beat Rapid by 30 yards (27 m) after Rapid lifted a safety valve, reaching an average speed of 31.8 knots (58.9 km/h).

What’s the difference between a one-piece and a monokini?
A classic one-piece covers the torso; a monokini keeps one-piece support but adds cut-outs for a more open look.
Are one-piece swimsuits flattering?
Yes. Quality designs smooth the midsection, support the bust, and can elongate the legs—especially high-leg or square-neck styles.
Which one-piece is best for swimming laps?
Choose wider straps, a secure neckline, minimal cut-outs, and firm stretch that moves without riding up.
How should a one-piece fit?
Snug when dry with even tension at shoulders and hips. If the torso feels short or straps dig, size up; if fabric gapes, size down.
What styles offer more coverage?
Full-coverage one-pieces with higher necklines and moderate bottoms provide a secure fit and added sun protection.
The sight arm on a Mance Heliograph[1] is used to attach either the foresight ("jointed sighting rod") or the secondary ("duplex") mirror to the base of the primary gimbaled mirror. To see how the sight arm fits in with the other parts of the Mance heliograph, see the 5" Mance Mark V diagrams at flic.kr/p/ecRWyr for the sighting rod and flic.kr/p/2pAtytv for the duplex mirror. For complete instructions on the use of a Mance heliograph, download the 1922 manual at: www.prc68.com/I/pdf/1922_08_Heliograph_5in_MarkV_med.pdf For much more information about Mance heliographs, visit the British Heliograph Club on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/groups/776510812960897
In the photos in this album, the top end is the "outboard" end, and the small hole there clamps onto the rod at the base of the foresight or secondary mirror. The large hole at the bottom clamps onto the base of the primary mirror. The clamping screws at the top and bottom are used to tighten the clamps securely.
Mance invented his heliograph in 1869, but took over a decade to adopt the idea of a sight arm for his heliograph. Mance's early design, shown in his patent applications filed in England on October 3, 1874[2] and in the United States of America on February 25, 1876[3], and depicted in the August 1876 British Army Signalling manual[4], used a separate long sighting pole set up 30 feet in front of the instrument[5]. By the time of the 2nd Afghan war in 1879, Mance had traded in the long sighting pole for a short sighting rod mounted on a separate tripod 3 ft in front of the mirror tripod[5], but still resisted attaching a sight arm to the primary mirror. In contrast, Begbie's sun-flashing instrument is shown in the 1876 British Army Signalling manual with a sight arm, and the Roorkee heliograph used in the 2nd Afghan War during 1878 and 1879 used a sight arm 16 inches long[5].
However, the 5" Mance Mark I adopted in 1882, and all subsequent Marks, did have a sight arm attached to the base of the primary mirror, interchangably holding a foresight or second mirror in front of the center of the primary mirror.
This album of photos shows top, bottom and side views of sight arms from four versions of the 5" Mance heliograph:
- an early 1880s(?) 5" Mance Mark I (Mark I defined in List of Changes §4147, date of order 11 Sept. 1882)
Mark I diagrams here: flic.kr/p/ncpBL6 and here: flic.kr/p/QU5PM9
- an 1890 5" Mance Mark II (Mark II defined in List of Changes §4941, date of order 19 Oct. 1885)

I don't have sight arms from the Marks III and IV to photograph, but the Mark III arm is very similar to that of the Mark II, and that of the Mark IV to the Mark V, with the peculiar variation that the rear clamping screw for the Mark IV is in front of the tripod, rather than behind it, as in all other Marks. An example of the Mark IV sight arm can be seen at Wikimedia Commons[6].
The sight arms of the Mark I and Mark II folded up at a hinge, and when deployed, could be locked in place by a screw in the Mark I and a spring clamp in the Mark II (and III). In contrast, the arms of the Mark V (and IV) were rigid.
Mark I: The Mark I sight arm has a tapering arm that is "lightened" by four spaced openings, giving it a slight resemblance to a stepladder when viewed from above. Those openings are larger on the underside. The rear clamping screw has a longer shaft than those on the Mark V, and the slot at the outboard end has a "strain relief hole" drilled at its inner end, unlike the other examples. The distance between the centers of the small and large holes is roughly 8.7 inches. Note that this example is painted black, and the design was retired in 1885. Since this 1880s sighting arm and the 1890s sighting arm are painted/finished black, I believe that Mance heliographs from the 1880s on were originally painted/finished black, and that examples of Mance heliographs in plain brass are a combination of wear and deliberate polishing for aesthetic reasons.
Mark II: The original clamping screws are missing in this 1890 example, replaced by wing nuts, and a broken bit of rod is clamped in the outboard end, so those bits should be ignored. The changes from the Mark I are described in List of Changes §4941 as: "The joint of the arm is made rigid by the introduction of a snap-action catch in lieu of a screw.
The jointed arm has been fitted with two small projections which prevent it from striking the mirror when doubled up". These changes in the sight arm are the only changes to the heliograph itself between the Mark I and Mark II that are described in the text of the List of Changes entry. However, the List of Changes comment that "A pattern has been sealed", and there might be other small changes in the pattern besides those described in the text, such as the absence of the strain relief hole. Note also in the side views that the thickness of the midsection of this Mark II sight arm is less than that of the Mark I example.
The switch from the brass hinge locking screw to the spring clamp are most easily seen in the photos of the tops and undersides of the sight arms. The two small projections (hinge stops) are most clearly seen in the side view of the sight arms.
Mark V 1909: The length of the Mk V sight arms are less than those of the Mk I/II, with the distance between the centers of the clamping holes reduced by about 1 inch - from 8.7 inches to 7.7 inches. There is no hinge, the arm is narrower, and it has a "T" cross-section. The manuals say to mount the arm with the vertical rib on the underside, and that's the way one sees it in period photos, but one often sees the arm mounted "rib up" in museum displays and auction listings. The heads of the clamping screws are hollow/skeleton, vs. the solid heads seen in the Mark I example.
Mark V WW2: The hollow/skeleton clamping screw heads of the 1909 model have returned to the solid heads, and the smooth black paint/finish of the other three examples has been replaced by the rough "wrinkle" paint invented in the late 1920s. Those are the only changes from the 1909 model that I see.

[1] From Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliograph "A heliograph (from Ancient Greek ἥλιος (hḗlios) 'sun' and γράφειν (gráphein) 'to write') is a solar telegraph system that signals by flashes of sunlight (generally using Morse code from the 1840s) reflected by a mirror. The flashes are produced by momentarily pivoting the mirror, or by interrupting the beam with a shutter." Henry Mance invented the British Mance pivoting-mirror heliograph in 1869. Mance heliographs were used by the British in combat from at least the 1877 Jowaki Afridi expedition in Afghanistan through the June 6, 1944 D-Day Normandy landings in WW2.

MANCE, Henry Christopher, of 5, Magdala Terrace, Manor Road, Brockley, in the county of Kent –"Improvements in apparatus for telegraphing by means of reflected light."
This Specification describes arranging a mirror in such manner that flashes of sun light may be reflected with such ease, quickness, precision, and accuracy, both as regards direction and duration, as to afford a ready means of communication between stations however remote (provided the rotundity of the earth or other obstacle does not intervene). The apparatus is specially adapted for use between changing positions, and therefore for military purposes in the field. The apparatus permits of the use of the Morse alphabet, which as the best code of signals extant is usually employed.

"When the heliograph was in its infancy, a sighting rod was set up about 10 yards in front of the instrument, and fitted with a metal stud which slid up or down until truly aligned with the distant station. In communicating, the flash was kept playing on the stud. This sighting rod was abolished in favour of a tripod, which serves to support quite a new form of sighting rod (or, when the position of the sun demands it, a reflector which is ingeniously adapted to serve also as a sighting vane). This second tripod is placed about 3 feet from the signalling mirror tripod; being made to interlock, both can be carried when packed as easily as one. But the instruments now issued to regiments in India are provided with a supporting arm which dispenses altogether with the second tripod. This arm, about 16 inches long, is clamped to the base of the instrument and serves to support the sighting rod, or when occasion requires it, the reflector. The points for and against a supporting arm may be summed up as follows: ..."

" Mr. Goode : I should like to ask Major Hamilton a question. He has spoken as if the Roorkee instrument and the Mance were two distinct things ; would he kindly explain in what respects they differ ?
Major Hamilton : The Mance instruments which we had were the 6-inch instruments similar to those now in the room, and some 10-inch instruments with heavier tripods. In each case two tripods were used. The Roorkee pattern that I spoke of is of a different pattern, having only one tripod with an arm. The whole machinery was very much lighter. I never weighed one against the other but the Roorkee pattern was of lighter construction ; it was very handy, and on the whole I think worked better than the other. The springs were more satisfactory in their working.
Mr. Goode : I asked in what respect they differed in principle or in construction.
Major Hamilton : The general principle of the two was the same.1 In the Mance heliograph there were two tripods, one for the sighting rod, and the other for the heliograph. while the Roorkee pattern had but one tripod, and the sighting rod was at the end of an arm.
...
1 In order to avoid misapprehension it should be stated that the Roorkee instrument is a modified form of the Mance heliograph.—Ed."

Okay – hard to describe because you are not seeing the full piece. These are a group of five individual, freestanding lightning rods. They each stand at 6 feet tall and are on a tripod base forged out of steel that runs up to the top which has on it a lightning rod ‘tip’ cast out of bronze. The ends of the arrows are also cast bronze. Along the rod rests spheres blown out of glass (the size of oranges) and ceramic ‘snakes’. Only two of these five rods are still available. They are the first one from the left with the red glass and the last one on the right with green glass.
Sunrise at the John Martin Reservoir Dam. The John Martin Reservoir is on the Arkansas River in southeastern Colorado. John Martin Reservoir State Park lies on its shore. Built and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, it is used for flood control, irrigation, and recreation. In the 1930s, Colorado Congressman John Martin successfully advocated for legislation approving the building of a reservoir on the Arkansas River for flood control. Signed into law in 1939 by President Roosevelt, the legislation assigned the task of construction to the Army Corps of Engineers. The U.S. government purchased more than 20,000 acres of land and relocated 21 miles of Santa Fe Railway track. Construction of Caddoa Dam and Reservoir began in the fall of 1939. Rep. Martin died that year, and, in June 1940, both the dam and reservoir were renamed in his honor. Storage of water in the reservoir began in January 1943. The diversion of resources to fighting World War II caused delays in the project and the dam was finally completed in October 1948. The John Martin Dam is an earth-fill embankment dam that stands 118 feet and 2.6 miles long. A portion of the dam's midsection is a concrete spillway controlled by 16 radial gates which empty into the Arkansas River.
