For as long as we could remember steam traction had been king on our railways. The resounding beat of exhaust from classic designs by Gresley, Stanier, Collett, Bulleid and many others had thrilled us all, while less prestigious 'work-horses' had kept commuters and freight moving throughout a vast network of major and minor routes. Mighty diesels had replaced them, notably the iconic Class 55 'Deltics', setting new standards for speed and effi...

Italian futurism visualized diverse types of motion, which had been rooted in pervasive kinetic and vehicular forces generated during a period of dramatic modernization in the early 20th century. Yet, as David Mather's sweeping intellectual and art historical scholarship demonstrates, it was the camera-not the engine-that proved to be the primary invention against which many futurist ideas and practices were measured. Overturning several misc...

We consider radiation counting experiments used to measure quantities of materials that are short-lived with respect to the count durations. The HPS 13.31 statistical analysis seriously overestimates the uncertainty when the quantity and background are very low. We consider the case in which the objective is to quantify the number of atoms, n, that were present in a sample when it was drawn. Mathews and Gerts [JRNC, 2008] analyzed this case an...

The second Silver Link Silk Edition takes us to the major northern railway city of York. David Mather takes us on a journey through time from the early steam age to the high speed trains of today.

An enthusiast's record of the eleventh hour of British Railways steam, recording in words and pictures his travels in search of the dwindling steam fleet in the North West.

The East Lancs Railway, with its lovingly restored stations and authentic atmosphere is at the forefront of today's thriving preservation movement. Its variety of traction and rolling stock and the ever friendly welcome of its staff make each visit a joy that has had the author and many thousands like him coming back for more.

The KWVR preservation scheme was ideally placed to attract large numbers of visitors eager to witness steam's return to this 5 mile line set in the heart of the Pennines, running as it does on steep gradients from industrial Keighley to the moorland towns of Haworth, home of the Brontes, and nearby Oxenhope.
