Notices for 13th March 2025

When I started the pylons section of the site in summer 2022, with the intention of documenting all of the UK’s electricity pylon (transmission tower) types, I genuinely believed that I would not get far before progress came to an end. Instead, I have been doubly surprised: by how much further this has progressed than expected (with help from many people) and just how many tower types this island nation has dreamt up. It feels like Jon Bruford’s “tower bible” only scratched the surface of what is out there, with many types not known even to enthusiasts. The UK electricity pylon series page is already around 50 pages long, covering (depending how you count them) 54 different tower series (suites/families), 52 of which having at least one illustration, many extensively covered.

2025 has so far proved fruitful, with suggestions of more yet to come.

A challenge to the UK power industry: let’s see how far we can get to 100% completeness before the end of the year. That includes all the 33 and 66 kV towers, of which so little is known, and of which there are so many types: estimated to be at least 30 lower-voltage tower series.

At least two major organisations in the industry did or do use this site as a visual reference, so the more comprehensive we can make it, the better for everyone.

“No, a woman,” said his grace. “It is a very sad story. She was the wife of a Marquis of Trafford—my great-great-uncle. It was a very unhappy marriage. The marquis was poor, and married her for her money; it was what is called a ‘a marriage of convenience.’ They are seldom anything but unhappy arrangements, and generally prove terribly inconvenient. She was in love with her husband, but he detested her. But though he, no doubt, treated her with coldness, I am quite sure he was not guilty of actual cruelty; no Trafford has had that crime laid to his charge.” There was much laughter, more applause, and a delightful thrill of excitement, and then Lady Wyndover looked significantly at Esmeralda, and she and the bride-maids went to change the magnificent bridal-dress for a traveling costume. —“Yes; but that was long ago. When I came back to England she was going to be married to Trafford. I loved her then still, but I stamped it out. Why, great Heaven! you might well call me a scoundrel if you thought me capable of robbing Trafford—Trafford!—of his wife! And he thinks it!” Varley dropped to the ground, and lifting Esmeralda in his arms, as he had so often done when she was a child, forced his way through the crowd to the end of the saloon, and then, with his arm around her, stood and faced them. "One more word," he said. "You're sick of the drill-ground. Well, the man that's spoiling for a fight and yet has no belly for drill--he--oh, he belongs to the cavalry by birth! We love these guns. We're mighty dogg--we're extremely proud of them. Through thick and thin, through fire and carnage and agony, remembering where we got them, we propose to keep them; and some proud day, when the trouble's all over, say two years hence, and those of us who are spared come home, we propose to come with these same guns unstained by the touch of a foe's hand, a virgin battery still. Well, only two things can win that: infernal fighting and perpetual toil. So, as you love honor and your country's cause, wait. Wait in self-respectful patience. Wait and work, and you shall be at the front--the foremost front!--the very first day and hour my best licks can get you there. That's all." "How do you know that's what he's doing?" The Comtesse de Noailles frowned. "Too long for me, Martin. I want to see her happy—I want to see them married before——" over the mountains into the plains of Casilinum. A cohort of light The Semiramis of the North, as she was called, received her so graciously, that all her fears and embarrassments disappeared. He strode up and down, his face black with rage, expressing his violent opinion of Brewster. Then he came to a stop, in front of her. "How did he happen to tell you?" he asked. The question of the regency was again brought forward, on the 6th of July, by Mr. Robert Grant, in pursuance of a notice he had previously given. The unbounded personal popularity of the king—who, unlike his predecessor shut up in seclusion and resembling Tiberius, went about sailor-like through the streets, frank, talkative, familiar, good-humoured, delighting the Londoners with all the force of pleasant contrast—rendered it increasingly difficult and delicate on the part of the Opposition to propose any measure disagreeable to a Sovereign who was the idol of the multitude, from whom no evil could be apprehended, and whose death, even in the ordinary course of Providence, it seemed something like treason to anticipate as likely to occur within a few months. They were, therefore, profuse in their declarations of respect, of admiration—nay, almost of veneration—for a monarch whom a beneficent Providence had so happily placed upon the Throne of Great Britain. The division on Mr. Grant's motion was still more decidedly favourable to the Government, the numbers being—Ayes, 93; noes, 247—majority, 154. [See larger version] The term planing should properly be applied only to machines that produce planes or flat surfaces, but the technical use of the term includes all cutting performed in right lines, or by what may be called a straight movement of tools. “Well—hm-m!” he remarked to Dick, “feels good to be on the old place again. First time I’ve set foot on it for three years.” “Why?” asked Mr. Everdail, curiously. 215 HoME 天天色日本高情
