NX328471, LR82.
HISTORY
Pillar completed 12th February 1955 costing £18.7s.6d. Flush bracket S8146 was levelled for height to first class precision, tertiary standards in February 1956. Computed by Distomat survey as tertiary triangulation station NX56/DM/T21 within the Kirkcudbright secondary block during 1958. This pillar station was last maintained by the Ordnance Survey in July 1976.
SITE VISIT
Barr Hill. Open grazing top. The pillar is in good condition. The spider retains its original OS centre cap with deep indented letters. The flush bracket faces south, compass measurement 176°. Vented through the back (north) sight hole. The views include Inshanks.
Photographed: 13th October 2009, GRP.

On September 23, 2024, the Million Veteran Program and NAVREF co-hosted an event titled One Million Reasons: A Historic Milestone for Veterans. The event brought together Veterans, researchers, colleagues, and industry leaders to recognize the collective achievements and the future potential of the Million Veteran Program to inform precision medicine.

Magnets are used to direct or focus the particle beam at Fermilab’s Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA). IOTA was built not to find new kinds of subatomic particles nor to provide evidence to support understanding the fundamental structure of the universe. Rather, it was built to improve the quality of the particle beams—a test bed for understanding the science and engineering of accelerators themselves. Walking around the facility, I had encountered many heavy-looking quadrupole magnets when I found this string of smaller octupole magnets. This set of much more delicate looking magnets made me think about the precision required to engineer these beams. I am in awe because IOTA researchers can observe a single electron moving at nearly the speed of light.

I have a few more insurance type jobs to do this week for a client. But I need to show some scale in the shots. However I was using a ruler but it was too thick and bulky to fit into some of the macro shots. So today I am making my own rulers by using sticky rulers stuck on card and cut down to the size I want.
You have to love Sundays.
