Stratford Low Level station, seen from the lofty heights of Bridge House. A Jubilee line train enters the station to the left while a London Overground Class 313 waits to return towards Richmond via the North London line. This is now the limit of travel for North London line trains, the section to North Woolwich having closed in December 2006. The section from Custom House to Stratford will soon be converted for use by DLR services. New platforms for North London line services are being built to the north of the high level station.
Taken through glass; you can see the reflection of my Nikon camera in the upper left quadrant.
Now complete with the rather stylish 'cuciform' chimneys. A very short video that will give some idea of the volume of the model.
This is an early GPS - Global Positioning System. It is a Davis Quadrant or Backstaff (astrolabe)
Davis Quadrant or Backstaff. England, brass, boxwood, c. 1700-1725
Advances in navigational instruments facilitated global exploration and trans-oceanic travel. The quadrant measured the distance of the sun or a star, which was used in turn to calculate latitude and the geographic position of a ship. The Davis Quadrant invented by Captain John Davis (c. 1550 - 1605), allowed the observer to avoid looking directly at the sun while measuring. It became the standard navigational instrument of British seaman for the next century and a half.

To be fair, with respect to their analysis, Gartner typically gets it right. Just not this time.
The problem is that SCRM is a relatively new concept with little in terms of real world business application experience. Therefore, the Gartner research is not likely based on empirical knowledge, but on their opinion of the vendors’ solutions and business strategy that was presented to them.
For the few of us that are using SCRM tools as mission critical business solutions, their SCRM Magic Quadrant is more illusion than conclusion. For example, how does Jive manage to secure the top spot on the Quadrant when there isn’t a Vice President of Sales on the planet that will choose them to manage their customer relationship, opportunity, pipeline and forecasting information?

Gli archi FOH e EOG consentono di disegnare i triangoli equilateri intercalati COF e AOE. Dato che l'angolo retto ha 90°, risulta evidente che con questi archi si divide l'angolo retto in tre parti uguali, da 30° ciascuna; facendo lo stesso negli altri tre quadranti si ottengono i 12 angoli al centro necessari per disegnare il dodecagono.
L'immagine illustra la spiegazione che trovate sotto a questa foto.
Finally found my way into the house I have been trying to get into. Not sure how much more I can access, but there is a "treasure trove of abandonment" in this small room. I'm not sure which is more limited, the light or the space. Luckily I was able to use the Wi-Fi on the camera, drop the camera in a corner, and shoot from there. I will definitely be going back.
Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.
Mainly or exclusively used for the TF two-speed fixed hub, in production from 1933-1942. Maybe used for the TC (1936-42) also, although I have seen a 2-speed trigger for this hub.
The American Littoral Society provided lessons, to 42 students from St. Rose High School, on the characteristics and importance of Wreck Pond and the Wreck Pond Brook Watershed, N.J. The day’s activities included seining, quadrat sampling, and a nature walk focused on documenting biodiversity according to Zack Royle, a Habitat Restoration Technician with the American Littoral Society.

A pair of very tall brick Observation Towers dating from World War Two stand on Grimston Warren. Both of the quadrant towers are built from four brickwork columns, connected approximately half way up with steel tie rods, the columns are also connected at the top with a concrete ring beam.
Usually there is a concrete superstructure on top, used by the observers, in this case the tower probably held a wooden superstructure attached by bolts to the concrete ring beam sitting on top of the columns. Some of the wooden remains and fixings can be seen. Both of the towers show some concrete foundations at the base indicating where a staircase was mounted for access.
Nearby are some cropmarks of a large circle with a large central ''bullseye'' at reference TF 6780 2214, this is believed to represent the remains of a World War Two bomb target.
INFORMATION BOARD -
This tower and its twin, which can be seen in the distance to the north, were constructed by the army and date from the Second World War.
They were used for artillery training by the Royal Observation Corps. Guns fired shells at a target and observers measured the shell trajectories and determined the accuracy of each shot. The two view points were necessary to pi point the exact position each shell fell.
This tower was entirely hidden within a dense conifer plantation from the 1960’s. It was only the felling of trees in 2009 as part of Norfolk Wildlife Trust's heathland restoration project that has once again revealed the tower. For the first time in decades the original sight-line between the two observation towers has been opened up.
BEWARE ORDNANCE ‼️
There are also the remains of other military features dating from around the time Second World War, including slit trenches, and gun emplacements. Occasionally the remains of shells and other ordnance are found here. Should you find any metal objects which you think may be ordnance please do not handle them but safely mark the location and report your findings to Norfolk Wildlife Trust on 01603 625540.
