Nairn, William - Date of death not recorded; buried Rose Hill, Sec. D, Chicago, IL by the Illinois St. Andrew Society. Nairne, Thomas - In the early 1700's, he seemed to have achieved some success in pacifying discontented tribes on the extreme southern edge of the Carolina settlement. He was involved in parleys with the Yamasee Indians at Pocotaligo on April 15, 1715 when news of the outbreak of the Southern Indian War reached the conference. He was seized and died at the stake after being tortured for several days.1 Naismith, James (Dr.) - (1861-1939) - The inventor of basketball, he was a Scottish-Canadian who was educated by a Presbyterian minister. He devised the game as a winter sport in 1891 while working at a college in Springfield, Massachusetts, as a physical education instructor.14 Naper, Capt.

Home What's New Web Site Creation Want Ads ... About This Site Important Machinist Biographies The following biographies discuss some of the world's greatest machinists. As you can tell from reading them, many of these machiist's knew each other and probably benefited from each other's knowledge and ideas. I also present a chart of these men's relationships which illustrates this idea grpahically. BENTHAM 'General' Bentham, was responsible for the construction and supervision of H.M. Dockyards. Perhaps the most important of these was, at the time of publication 1877, situated at Chatham "where every item of turnery, etc. is performed for the Navy, from boring the chamber of a pump to the turning of a button for a chest of drawers". It was at Chatham that Brunel's remarkable block making machinery was set up under Bentham's direction. A second set was also installed in Portsmouth Dockyard. The plant at Chatham, however, was never used since Portsmouth could supply all the blocks that the Navy required. BRAMAH, Joseph, 1748 - 1814

40. Tähtitieteen Peruskurssi I / Rami Rekola 2002 Neljäs maininnanarvoinen amatööri oli skotlantilainen insinööri James Nasmyth(18081890), joka rakensi 20-tuumaisen (51 cm) atsimutaaliteleskoopin 1850. http://www.astro.utu.fi/kurssit/ttpk1/ttpkI/16Kaukoputki.html

Havaitseva tähtitiede ennen kaukoputkia Tähtitiede ennen optisia havaintolaitteita oli lähinnä positioastronomiaa, joten havaintojen tekoon tarvittiin laitteita, joilla voitiin mitata kohteiden välisiä kulmia. Myös jonkinlainen keino ajan mittaamiseen oli tarpeen. Ajan mittaamiseen kelpaa mikä tahansa esine, jonka varjon paikka voidaan havaita. Yksinkertaisimmillaan aurinkokelloksi käy maahan pystytetty keppi. Ainakin egyptiläisillä oli aurinkokelloja käytössään. Myös vesikelloja tiedetään käytetyn Egyptissä jo 1400-luvulla eaa. Klepsydra (eli vesikello) lienee kuitenkin babylonialainen keksintö. Egyptiläiset käyttivät tähtien sijaintien mittaamiseen luotilangasta ja lovetusta puikosta koostunutta instrumenttia; nimeltään merkhet . Havaintotilanteessa havaintoapulainen istui havaitsijan eteläpuolella ja havaitsija seurasi merkhetin avulla milloin jokin tähti oli suoraan apulaisen vartalon ja kasvojen eri osien yläpuolella. Näin päästään kohtuullisiin tarkkuuksiin (asteen kymmenesosiin), mutta menetelmä on altis monenlaisille virheille. Ensimmäinen todellinen havaitseva tähtitieteilijä oli Hipparkhos (190-120 eaa), jonka tiedetään käyttäneen apuvälineenään ainakin armillaaripalloja.
