Accident report in ICAO Accident Digest

Resolved

Does anyone have access to the ICAO Accident Digest, Circular 59-AN/54 (240-245)?

It may have information on the accident report of a 1958 crash of a French airliner.

• 26 December 1958, F-BGTZ, Salisbury (Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland)

I was able to find the French translation online, but I would like to see the original English version. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:10, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

It seems from this that someone at the University of Michigan might have library access. LeadSongDog come howl! 22:16, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Do you know anything about how the circular numbers work? My library seems to have many volumes of the ICAO circular from 1948-1988, but I'm a little confused about the volume numbering. Does anything in the catalog here [1] look like what you're looking for?GabrielF (talk) 18:33, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

It looks like HOLLIS HL0UAY is the volume he's after. The years 1959-1962 were Circulars 58-63. Somewhere in there should be the specific entry. I'd guess it is at volume 59, issue number 54, pages 240-245, but ymmv. The "AN" seems to designate that it is from the ICAO's "Air Navigation" bureau. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:03, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Do you think the slash in " 96a 765.8 1959/1962 (58/63)" means 58 through 63 and not 58 and 63? Through seems more likely to me but it's a bit confusing since I've never seen them use slashes like that before. GabrielF (talk) 21:16, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Could be. It looks as if the numbers only go up over time, so it may mean that during the years 1959 to 1962 they published issues 58 to 63, i.e. they followed an irregular publication schedule. You might try Hollis' "ask a librarian" function and give them the full "ICAO Accident Digest, Circular 59-AN/54 (240-245)". No doubt they could quickly eyeball HL0UAY and tell you if it contains that entry. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

I submitted a question to the government documents librarians. Hopefully they'll be able to help or advise me on who to ask. Worst comes to worst I'll just order that volume and see what's in it :) GabrielF (talk) 22:20, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

This is a request transferred from de:WP:Bibliotheksrecherche/Anfragen. I would have ordered this book by myself for one of our editors, however it is not available in the German national library system. I would therefore have to order it from a foreign library for 20 € (still no comparison to the original price of this work). I would be very thankful if anyone were able to make a scan of this work. The editor who requested it is a highly productive author and the results of his work would also be a valuable basis for any English articles on this topic. I know this is a lot of work.

Public Law 86-90

Resolved

I'm looking for an official (.gov) for the original text of Public Law 86-90 which was a proclamation by Eisenhower in 1959 establishing Captive Nations Week.Smallman12q (talk) 12:10, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Not sure about that but JSTOR 126589 may be of some use, as may [6]. I'm sure you're already aware of this collection. At this transcript of the 22 July 1959 Eisenhower press conference, it includes

Now, as far as the resolution about the captive nations, this was a resolution by the Congress, asked me to issue a proclamation, which I did; and asked the United States to conduct ceremonies in memory of the plight of such peoples. 1

1 The Joint Resolution (S.J. Res. 111), designating the third week of July as "Captive Nations Week," is Public Law 86-90 (73 Stat. 212). On July 17 the President issued Proclamation 3303 "Captive Nations Week, 1959" (24 F.R. 5773), urging the people of the United States "to study the plight of the Soviet-dominated nations and to recommit themselves to the support of the just aspirations of the peoples of those captive nations."

Accordingly, we might try a search for "73 Stat. 212" or "24 F.R. 5773". The former finds this book which has LBJ's consequent proclamations. It also finds JSTOR 2203718 which mentions it in passing under the title "Repealing the Cold War". Hope some of this helps.LeadSongDog come howl! 23:25, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

It appears here that there are multiple variations on the cataloguing data for that work. I've left a comment at worldcat that may lead to consolidation of the records, but in any case there are many libraries that seem to hold it. Gbooks seems to frequently put PDold works up in snippet view, for no evident reason. It appears that the gbook id which Sitush is looking for is actually jU0MAQAAMAAJ, which refers to the 1868 edition. LeadSongDog come howl! 04:16, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

I managed to get this from searching several strings on Google Books and piecing them together:

The Bessemer steelworks erected by the Lancashire Steel Company at Gorton, and as yet scarcely completed to half their intended extent, form an object of unusual interest with regard to that particular element of economy in ironworks, viz., the convenience of general arrangement. The works at Gorton are intended for the manufacture of rails, bars, plates, tyres, and forgings of Bessemer steel. It is purposed to erect in them four pairs of 5-ton converters. The area inclosed by the walls is of a rectangular shape, adjoining on one side a line of railway from which two sidings lead into the large yard for storing raw material — this yard being 560 feet long and 180 feet wide.

The workshops are designed as a rectangular block of buildings and sheds, 480 feet long and 410 feet in total width, there being eight spans of 60 feet each. The roofs are carried upon longitudinal girders supported by...

Continuing the approach,:

"...ance at the mouth of the converter, and is done for the purpose of heating the charge by the combustion of the charcoal within the vessel. This is said to be particularly effective when "white iron," or iron containing a small percentage of carbon, is worked in the converter. The supply of additional heat to the charge during the period of desilicatization maintains the mass in a state of sufficient fluidity until the combustion of the carbon contained in the iron itself is so far advanced as to require no further supply of heat. The spectroscope has been tried at Neuberg by Professor Liellegg, but the results have not been favourable; at least, the employment of the spectroscope has not been introduced for practical purposes."[missing text] "...Urgenthal, and from other localities further off. The forge is not arranged with great regularity; in fact there is no design at all in its arrangement. It has grown up by successive additions and alteration, and the machineery and plant are not always in the most suitable relative position. The internal locomotion is, therefore, somewhat difficult and inconvenient. The most important object in this forge is a steam hammer of 16 tons head, and about 8 feet fall, constructed at a recent date by Mr. Haswell, of Vienna. The Neuberg Works in their entire extent, including mines and forests, employ about 1500 workmen...."

The natural course of the slow growth of works, most frequently commenced with limited means, and very often without expectation of the amount of future extensions which ultimately become necessary, is not favourable to convenience and beauty of general arrangement. Changes in methods of manufacture, increased machinery, and increased plant, as they come into use one after the other, must be accommodated within a space already occupied, and subdivided by the existing arrangement of the works; and so it happens that the appearance of the majority of our great works is that of an agglomeration of buildings, machinery, and appliances of all kinds, strewed over an irregular..."

The Bessemer steelworks erected by the Lancashire Steel Company at Gorton, and as yet scarcely completed to half their intended extent, form an object of unusual interest with regard to that particular element of economy in ironworks, viz., the convenience of general arrangement. The works at Gorton are intended for the manufacture of rails, bars, plates, tyres, and forgings of Bessemer steel. It is purposed to erect in them four pairs of 5-ton converters. The area inclosed by the walls is of a rectangular shape, adjoining on one side a line of railway from which two sidings lead into the large yard for storing raw material — this yard being 560 feet long and 180 feet wide.

The workshops are designed as a rectangular block of buildings and sheds, 480 feet long and 410 feet in total width, there being eight spans of 60 feet each. The roofs are carried upon longitudinal girders supported by..."

Each division, covered by one roof, contains only one class of machinery, so that the materials pass in a straight line from one shed into the other when going through the different stages of manufacture, thus going across the whole building. The first roof covers all melting furnaces for pig iron and spiegeleisen, and the boilers for the blowing engine. The second span contains all converters, placed in one straight line, each pair in a separate pit, fitted with the usual hydraulic cranes and machinery. The blowing engines are situated at each of the ends of this span. The third space of 60 feet is used as a clear space for storing ingots; then follows the shed for the steam hammers; then a row of reheating furnaces, the rolling mills, with another row of furnaces; and the last space for finishing the work produced by the mills. A rectangular open space is left on all four sides of the buildings, this space forming the storeyard and passages for communications. The whole ground is inclosed on three sides by long lines of buildings, forming the repairing shops, offices, storehouses, &c.

The circular saw is fitted with Robertson's frictional gearing, and is driven by an engine attached to it. In the same shed with the saw are placed three machines, by Messrs. Collier and Co. for straightening and punching rails. A large mill for boiler plates has been fitted up in the same line with the rail mill. It is driven by a single-cylinder horizontal engine, by Messrs. Musgrave and Sons, fitted with very heavy gearing, and will produce plates up to 9 feet wide. The mill consists of three pairs of rolls about 2 feet diameter: the first pair, about 5 feet wide, being of gray cast iron; the second and third pairs chilled. A mill for rolling weldless steel tyres is to occupy the space next to this mill, but it has not been laid down as yet. The quantity of rails turned out by the rail mill in regular working of ten hours daily is about 150 tons per week, and the plate mill is expected to produce 100 tons of plates per week.

This is fantastic. I saw the developments a few hours ago but hung off commenting while I tried a little more digging myself. Dare I say that I tried getting in there using a proxy? The problem remained the same: the GBooks metadata has it down as a copyrighted/snippet source, even though it clearly is not. You guys - incredible. Worldcat suggests that there is a fully copy not too far away from me but I simply cannot get to libraries at the moment. Obviously, the detail is too much for the article but I can wangle a fair bit in there & still keep things in focus. Barnstars all round, I feel. Do they do a Sherlock barnstar? I shall look.

Can someone please send me the relevant full text from footnotes 6 and 7 on the Joan Armatrading article? Google Books is almost completely inaccessible to me as a blind person, and I have to rely on the text snippets. Specifically, I'd like the full article from the September 1983 issue of Orange Coast Magazine' (I don't even know the article's title!), and the entry for Joan Armatrading from Notable Caribbeans and Caribbean Americans: a biographical dictionary. Of course, if they're available more directly in other databases, I wouldn't mind that either. Thanks! Graham87 04:44, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Here's the one from the Orange Coast Magazine. Goodvac (talk) 06:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

"Joan Armatrading Hopes 'The Key' Finds Success" from Orange Coast Magazine (pages 130–131)

Viewpoint Music: Joan Armatrading Hopes 'The Key' Finds Success Joan Armatrading, comfortably clad in a sweat shirt and jeans, entered the small room inside A&M Records' publicity department. She was nearly an hour late for her 1:00 pm interview. It wasn't that she takes pleasure in being fashionably late, or is inconsiderate of other people's time. Rather, it was merely a chain reaction— her earlier interviews ran late, putting her behind schedule. Who knows what time she got to her 6:00 pm appointment. Armatrading, a singer/songwriter with distinctive, emotional vocals and sensitive, personal lyrics, was visiting her record company prior to an LA concert appearance— one stop on her current worldwide tour. Although she has been around for 10 years, and has nine albums to her credit, her show didn't sell out. Still, the cult following who did attend her performance enjoyed it, as did the critics. But then, Armatrading has always been a favorite of the critics. The New York Times once called her "the best unknown pop star in the business," while Playboy called her "one of the most interesting ladies in music." Newsweek described her as "heroic... irresistable," while the Boston Globe suggested "In a sense, what Joan Baez was to the politically active '60s, Joni Mitchell was to the introspective, apolitical '70s... If the yet-undefined '80s are still up for grabs— and they probably are— a strong vote should go to another Joan... Joan Armatrading." Her problem has been exposure, more specifically, radio airplay. For the St. Kitt's-born, English-bred songstress, radio airplay is the key. The Key is also the name of her current album, which, unlike most of her previous works, is getting airplay. On the whole, it's more electric and punchier than the fare to which Armatrading fans have become accustomed. Three songs in particular, Drop the Pilot, Rosie, and Call Me Names have been added to several local FM album-oriented rock stations. "You have to be played on me radio," Armatrading said. "They're (the public) not going to know you if they don't play it. "Some of the things I hear on the radio, I wonder, 'If they played that, why not me?' Maybe they just don't like me," she said with a laugh. Actually, Armatrading, whose strong alto voice and unusual style differ from just about everybody's, realizes her sound is, well, not exactly the kind of material normally heard over the airwaves. In fact, she jokes about it, although she realizes it isn't very funny. "The first time I heard myself over the radio," she recalled, "I thought it sounded kind of strange, and not just because it was me. It didn't fit in with what was played before it, or after it, but I liked it. "It's just a matter of listening to it. Maybe people listening now will have the same reaction I had 10 years ago. If they listen, maybe they will realize that it can fit in." Listening to a Joan Armatrading record is an acquired taste, something akin to eating squid. Both can be hard to digest, but are considered delicacies. The third of six children, Joan was born on December 9, 1950 on the Caribbean island of St. Kitt's. Her father was a St. Kitt's native, while her mother was from Antigua. In early 1958, the family moved to Birmingham, England. Armatrading taught herself to play the guitar, absorbing such disparate influences as Jim Reeves, English pop star Tommy Steele, Nat King Cole, and Van Morrison. She wrote her first song at age 14, and eventually began playing clubs in the Birmingham area. Her first album, Whatever's For Us, was released in 1973. Although she is still trying to establish herself in the United States, Armatrading has a substantial following in Great Britain and Europe. To date, she has sold seven million records worldwide and earned more than 20 international gold records. "I would like to sell more records in America," she said, "not so people could look at me walking down the street and say, 'There's Joan Armatrading.' But I would like to walk down a street and hear someone singing my songs. That would be great. With The Key, Armatrading may get her wish. Produced by Steve Lillywhite (Peter Gabriel, XTC, Siouxie and the Banshees, and U2) and Val Garay (Kim Carnes' Grammy-winning Bette Davis Eyes), the album is commercial-oriented. "It took Bob Seger a long time to make it in America, and he lives here," Armatrading said. "It took him 10 years before he was an overnight success. I'm in that position now." THE B SIDE Joan Armatrading, The Key (A&M) — The husky vocals and sensitive lyrics of this commercially long-overdue introspective singer/songwriter has finally combined to form a package that may expose her to a mass audience. Side one opens with the controversial (I Love It When You) Call Me Names, a masochistic ditty the singer claims she wrote as a joke. The song is about a skinny, wimpy man who is having a fling with a big woman who frequently beats him up and calls him names. Sample the lyrics: I can't wait to see you again I know you 're gonna slap my face You beat me up then beat me up again And over and over and over and over... Big woman and a short short man And he loves it When she beats his brains out He's pecked to death But he loves the pain And he loves it When she calls him names... "I thought it would be sort of fun to write a song like that, and so far the American public has seen the humor in it," the singer said. In any event, there are other songs on the album not as free spirited as this, but just as catchy. In fact, the first side of The Key is a delight. Foolish Pride and Drop the Pilot—the latter produced by Val Garay of Bette Davis Eyes fame—are instantly accessible, something Armatrading has lacked in previous works. Also worthwhile is What Do Boys Dream and the title track.

Thanks! I don't think the album sold quite as well as was promised in that article, but it's interesting nonetheless! I'll await the second one. Graham87 14:05, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Cephalopoda

I wonder if anyone has access to any of the the following:

• Adam, W. 1954. "Cephalopoda Part III. Céphalopodes a l’exclusion des genres Sepia, Sepiella et Sepioteuthis". Siboga-Expeditie, Monographie (Leiden, E.J. Brill). LVc: 123–193, 3 pls.

It's not really that necessary, so no worries if not.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 20:01, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

What sort of publications are these? Are LVa and LVc abbreviations, for journals or something? —innotata 20:06, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

The author is William Adam, a Belgian malacologist. LVa and LVc are 55a and 55c respectively. They're volume numbers as it is part of the Siboga-Expeditie series, a series of monographs on different taxa recovered from the Siboga Expedition. They're all published separately by E.J. Brill, I think. I've amended the original citations to make this clearer.

I think it's this entry in OpenLibrary.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 20:44, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and pl. and pls. are "plates", I assume.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 20:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

I can't get them here; there are only three copies listed on WorldCat (searching for "siboga 1939"/"siboga 1954" appears to get all the entries) of the first one, but more of the second. —innotata 21:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

It appears that LV denotes Monograph 55, "Cephalopoda", by Louis Joubin. Other monographs in the Siboga-Expeditie series can be seen here in the Biodiversity Heritage Library, also at this collection at the Internet Archive. It is apparent that the monographs are not in volume order. The back matter in each volume contains a list of earlier published monographs in the sequence. I've looked through several volumes, but didn't find the ones that contained monograph LVa or LVc. It may just be a matter of persistence. LeadSongDog come howl! 22:16, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Don't quite get the volume system, but the requested parts are from 1939 and 1954, and I think I can be fairly sure after looking through the listings that all of them on the Internet Archive/BHL are from before 1923 (out of copyright in the U.S.), and none of them are on Cephalopoda. —innotata 22:23, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

It is likely that Adam's publications are translations of earlier works in French by Joubin from the Siboga-Expiditie series, which seems to greatly predate Adam. LeadSongDog come howl! 23:41, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Adam's work is in French. :P He's Belgian, heh. It's definitely not a translation anyway from secondhand citations of it. The volumes may be "preallocated" based on the different collections from the Siboga Expedition. Anyway, I appreciate the efforts. I've already tried my google-fu on this and no luck. At this point I'm assuming it's likely to simply not be digitized yet.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 23:49, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

"Conscience of the Otaking"

Resolved

This was a lengthy interview with Toshio Okada, founder of Gainax, in Animerica. This may be a challenge; I managed to get the other half of this four-part interview (and transcribe it), but I failed to find used copies of the issues with the other 2 parts. I do know that the Michigan State University's comics library has them:

2. "The Conscience of the Otaking: The Studio Gainax Saga in Four Parts: Part Three". Animerica 4:4, pg 9-10, 24-27

Bibliographic data

Resolved

I do not seek full articles here, but only the complete bibliographical data, including issue number if any (such abbreviated refs are common in botany, as they are used outside bibliographies, but I need to expand them for Wikipedia use):

• Anales del Instituto de Biologia de la Universidad nacional de Mexico (may be filed as "Anales del IBUNAM")
  • Matuda, 26: 60-62 (1955) (or possibly "Matsuda")
  • -----------, 30: 101 (1960)
• Obermeyer, Bothalia 13: 436-439 (1981) (This is a South African journal)
• Chiarugi, Webbia 8: 33 (1951) (Italian journal)

Thanks in advance. Circéus (talk) 02:13, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

The Anales (with various versions of serial title) is OCLC 227167048, also OCLC 646853570 and OCLC 1641855. The latter has Hathitrust images that are searchable for v.24-25 1953-1954 and for v.25-26 1954-1955. Both those volumes have many hits when searched for "Matuda", or even for "Eizi Matuda", but none for Matsuda. I think the first author refers to es:Eizi Matuda, (a.k.a. Matsuda Eiji), the Japanese botanist.

Obermeyer is listed in the Kew index:<quote>Obermeyer AA. 1981 Notes on African plants. Commelinaceae. Two new species of Commelina. Bothalia 13. (3 - 4): 436 - 437 (1981) - illus. En C. bella, C. modesta. Geog=5 Systematics: ANGIOSPERMAE (COMMELINACEAE: COMMELINA) (KR, 198102430). </quote>

Chiarugi seems to be it:Alberto Chiarugi, the Italian botanist. Webbia v.8 1951-1952 is listed here on Hathitrust, or as OCLC 01769536.

LeadSongDog come howl! 16:31, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

I know who the authors are. What I am hoping is the bibliographical information for the articles concerned (or at least a mean to access them). The details for Bothalia are very much appreciated, but I am afraid Hathitrust, which is nearly completely search-only on my end, is virtually useless. Circéus (talk) 19:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

The more information we have, the faster we can find the articles, it's that simple. The Hathitrust hits tell us what the spelling used in the articles was, and also provides one way (of many) to find the oclc number.

I note that through the 1950's Chiarugi was editor of Webbia, so you've got a self-published source, if that matters. It looks like volume 8 is held in the Mertz Library of the New York Botanical Garden, someone might look for it there. Also held at Cornell University Library. As Cornell also holds the Annals volumes you seek, that might be the place to start. Those years of the Annals are also held at the Université de Montréal, as is Webbia V.8 if Cornell doesn't suit. LeadSongDog come howl! 20:16, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

I did not think of checking with UdM for Webbia; I'm familiar with the libraries there (and knew they have the Anales), but the botanical one is REALLY not practical for me to get to (and I cannot work online there at all as I'm no longer a student), and I was hoping someone might be able to get the information more conveniently for everyone. Thanks for your help anyway. Guess I'll plan a trip there next time I have to go to Montreal. Circéus (talk) 22:18, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Eros Denied: Sex in Western Society book

Resolved

The libertine article has quote with a footnote to "Young, 1966 256" with no bibliographical infomation. Can someone check that it is from this book:

Young, Wayland (1964). Eros Denied: Sex in Western Society. New York: Grove. ISBN 1-125-40416-7.

Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 20:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

See Google Books. The full passage is (page 231):

But the mere analysis of libertinism, since it was carried out by a novelist with such a prodigious command of his medium and such a patient knowledge of the modes of love, was enough to condemn it and to play a large part in its destruction. 2 One must assume that Laclos knew what he was about...

Defoe's tour of Britain

Resolved

--Senra (Talk) 22:10, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Our article A tour thro' the whole island of Great Britain gives a number of sources for Defoe's 1724–1727 published tour. I am looking for a reliable on-line source to Volume 1: Letter 1: Volume 3 Part 3 in the original printed form. Specifically this passage: "FromLynn, ... so we came back to Ely, whose cathedral, standing in a level flat country, is seen far and wide; ... that it did not fall a hundred years sooner." The Internet Archive does appear to have facsimiles of unknown editions of volumes 2 and 4 but not volume 1. Can anyone more familiar with this work and it's on-line sources assist? --Senra (Talk) 12:04, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

If I understand you correctly, what's unreliable about visionofbritain.org.uk? An alternative is the Google Books digitization. Goodvac (talk) 21:17, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry but I did not explain very well it seems. The visionofbritain.org.uk is to a transcribed version; reliable yes, but it is not an original printed edition. Your Google Books digitization is from a facsimile of a printed edition but to a review only version in google (at least for me in the UK) so I cannot see the whole text; just a preview. Is there a full-view google book UK version or any other similar version of volume 1 letter 1 part 3 available? --Senra (Talk) 17:24, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Oh I see. The book is in the public domain, so I don't know why Google wouldn't let UK users view it in full. I've uploaded the Google Books PDF to [109]. Click on "save" at the top to download the file. The link will expire in a year. Goodvac (talk) 18:36, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

I am using the GBooks version of Aryans and British India' (2nd paperback edition, 2006, ISBN: 81-90-2272-1-1), here.

Its hard to prove a negative, but I searched LexisNexis for the phrase "cognitive tempo" appearing in the Times since 2009 and found a couple of mentions (a derisive article about a proposal to add "cognitive tempo disorder" to the DSM and a few letters to the editor about that article) but nothing that seemed like it would be a copyvio. The phrase "Matching Familiar Figures Test" did not appear in the Times in that period. GabrielF (talk) 19:03, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

That page looks like one that updates daily, not of a specific article. However, I doubt that there is a copyvio—how did CorenSearchBot access that page without a password?

The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, second edition

I need somebody who can look at the article on "Expressionism" by David Fanning in that work to compare it to the content dump here. The article has been tagged as a copyright violation, and I can't clear it or confirm it as I don't have access to the source. I believe the specific entry may be in volume 8. Any help would be appreciated! --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:45, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

(Cross-posted from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Classical_music) It's not Fanning's article from the current New Grove. I'm comparing them right now and see no correlation. To my eye it's someone's paper on musical expressionism, perhaps an advanced undergraduate or masters-level student. Note all the grammatical errors, "it's", and other infelicities. Using Google all I find are Wikipedia knockoffs, but it's been online for a long time. It is possible that the posting anon wrote it for Wikipedia, although it is rare to see a slab of new text that size. Antandrus (talk) 15:28, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Pigot's National & Commercial Directory 1832-1834

Hello, can anyone help me with a reference, and ideally text, for mention of stage coaching from the "Swan Inn" in Sturry, Kent, UK, to Herne Bay, Kent, in Pigot's National & Commercial Directory 1832-1834? Though, anything about this Swan Inn from Pigot's would be good. I was pointed to Pigot's after seeing it cited here. Thanks in advance. Nortonius (talk) 16:23, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

[177] Is that the sort of thing you were looking for? Google Books is your best bet. Wee Curry Monster talk 16:33, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the rapid response! Yes, that would be exactly the kind of thing, terrific - except I searched Google Books before coming here, and drew a blank for Kent (i.e. the Swan Inn you found is in Worcestershire). Hm! Thanks anyway. Nortonius (talk) 17:11, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah sorry, I checked again and drew a blank for Kent. Has it ever changed its name? Wee Curry Monster talk 22:54, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

I think I may have an explanation. It looks like different editions of the directory had different counties in them. This 1834 edition which is online does not have Kent. This edition from 1839 has Kent but its not online. I could request the 1839 edition and scan the relevant page, but probably not until after the 1st of the year. GabrielF (talk) 23:17, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks again Wee Curry Monster, but no, it's been "Sturry" since at least the 7th century! And GabrielF, that makes sense. Getting a scan for me would be wonderfully kind, and early next year would be soon enough! Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but of course I'd be grateful too if a scan were accompanied by the usual publication details, since it's not online. I'll be keeping an eye out here in case you manage to do that for me. Lovely. Nortonius (talk) 23:54, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

GabrielF, do you still mean to "scan the relevant page" from the 1839 edition of Pigot's for me? I don't mean to be a pest, but gawd knows I find it all too easy to lose track of things over the Xmas-New Year holidays, and I wouldn't blame you if you had too! :) Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 15:31, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Would Historical Directories 1750–1919 be of any help? I have never used this web site before so I am unable to determine how good it is. I attempted to search within Kent for Sturry and although it seemed to return 88 hits, I was unable to make sense of the first few.

I've scanned the sections on Canterbury and Herne's Bay in Pigot's 1939 edition covering Kent, Surrey and Sussex. The Canterbury entry includes Sturry. There is a Swan tavern listed in Sturry, but it is not listed as an Inn. There is a fairly long list of stagecoaches and vans, but no vans that go to Herne Bay seem to originate in Surrey as opposed to Canterbury. Here is the link: [178].
