Un site du Haut Moyen Age provençal : Saint-Jean-de-Taravon (Volonne, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)

The architectural excavations and studies of the chapel showed the existence of an earlier edifice. In fact, the present chapel is the choir of a much more complex structure, part of which was rediscovered in excavating, and another part found in the wall of an adjacent building. These different elements permitted an hypothetical reconstitution; it appears to be an edifice of a square plan, built around a central hall in the shape of a Greek cross. Excavations have not permitted the exact dating of this monument. However, the presence of sepulchers and the relative chronology allow for the taking of the construction of this building to the Early Middle Ages, and perhaps to the Caroligian Era. The excavations showed the architectural evolution of this monument until the French Revolution.

The Colonial Revival House: Variations on a Georgian Theme

The purpose of this study is to examine some of the characteristics of the Colonial Revival house. Descriptive data on domestic interiors and architecture of the style including plans and photographs are presented. Comparisons of examples to a historic building type are offered, and adaptation to contemporary demands are noted. The hypothesis that the Colonial Revival house plan was often based on the double pile form with central hall and that much freedom was exercised in devising variations on that form is supported. Contradictions between interior volumes and exterior appearances are discussed.

Assisting the assisted resonance at the Central Hall, York, UK

The Central Hall of the University of York was built in 1968 to seat 1200 people and to have a multipurpose function. To extend its acoustic flexibility an assisted resonance system was installed six years later. Some improvement resulted but the venue was still found unacceptable for performing serious music. Recently, the natural acoustics of the hall have been modified and the assisted resonance system reset and overhauled. The hall is now used successfully for public concerts by orchestras and performers of international standard. This paper describes the problems that had to be overcome in achieving this final condition, and the programme of remedial measures which were completed in early 1985. The remedial measures included an overstage orchestral reflector, treatment to reduce the amount of absorption in the hall so as to increase the natural reverberation, and the overhaul of the assisted resonance system. Details are also given of objective testing in the hall before and after modification, and with and without the assisted resonance system. These illustrate the changes resulting from the physical and electroacoustic elements of the remedial works.

Further Notes on Minoan Palace Architecture: 1. West Magazines and Upper Halls at Knossos and Mallia

With the aid of newly available plans the following paper seeks to establish, or reinforce, the existence and function of five large, second storey, two-columned halls ("Reception Halls") with windows on their west facades: three at Knossos (Southwest Hall, Central Hall and Northwest Hall), and two at Mallia (South Hall and Central Hall). It also attempts to answer, in a similar fashion at both palaces, the problem of access from the outside to the West Magazines.

A reconnaissance of Quaternary deposits in northern Greenland

The main aim of the 1976 field work was an investigation of the extent of Quaternary deposits in the central part of Olrik Fjord, north of Thule Air Base, North-West Greenland. In addition, other localities were visited across northern Greenland to locate and collect samples for C14 dating in order to supplement the hitherto sparce evidence of Holocene deglaciation and uplift of this region, i.e. at Narssârssuk, south of Thule Air Base, central Hall Land, J. P. Koch Fjord, and the delta of Børglum Elv in Peary Land (fig. 8).

The United Nations Thirty Years On

T n HIRTY years on, growing older and older, Shorter in wind, as in memory long, Feeble of foot, and rheumatic of shoulder, What will it help you that once you were strong? I did not go to school at Harrow, so no reverence for that suburban establishment restrains me from lopping a decade off the time-span mentioned in its school song and making it serve as a text, of sorts, for this article. Thirty years ago, in London, in January 1946, the first sessions of the main organs of the United Nations were held. The General Assembly first assembled on January 10, in the aptly egalitarian setting of the Methodist Central Hall. The Security Council first went into council a week later, neatly demonstrating its more select quality by meeting not in the odour of Methody but over the road in the Anglicans' Church House. The fact that both sites were within a short walk of the Houses of Parliament and Downing Street may have contributed to the tendency to regard the Assembly as a world parliament and the Council as a world cabinet. Neither was either. Thirty years later, the fact that the UN is 'growing older and older' is perhaps the only point that can be made about it without getting into any controversy. Yet this fact is itself an astonishing one. To grow older, one must remain alive. And it was possible for a perfectly respectable London journal to tell its readers that ' Every honest and realistic person knows in his heart that the United Nations is dead' as far back as 1947-only a year after those first London sessions. Today, however, any dispute about whether the UN is still alive can be very quickly settled by reference to the conclusive evidence provided by the people who, in the circumstances, are the best possible witnesses: its sharpest critics. All their complaints against it may be grouped under two simple heads. Either they complain about its failure to do things which they feel it ought to do; or they complain about it doing things which they feel it ought not to do. Common to both groups is the underlying (however distasteful) recognition that it exists. A comparison with the League of Nations reveals a striking difference in several dimensions. The League held the first of its meetings in 1920. Less than twenty years later these meetings had ceased. As early as 1933, contraction had set in when two major powers, Germany and Japan, withdrew from membership; and the League had never come within sight of universality, the United States refusing at the 67

The outstanding feature of this building is the very large surface of glazing that encloses the inner space. It enables to have a fine view of the exterior. These glazed surfaces are protected by antidazzle coloured glass screens, which also help to protect the curtain walls from the high summer temperatures, and isolate visually the inner clinical installations from the direct view of passers by. The ground floor is a parking space, and the top one contains the medical consultation units, which are arranged in four mutually perpendicular wings, and open on to a central hall and two lateral corridors, converging on it.

The British Veterans' Ticket of 1918

A confident and victorious David Lloyd George entered Central Hall, Westminster, on the morning of November 16, 1918. Five days earlier the Germans had agreed to an Armistice, and the “Welsh Wizard” was acclaimed by his countrymen as the architect of victory. His political coalition, formed in the dark days of December 1916, had successfully prosecuted the war; now he called together political elements of that coalition to continue in peace. There were Conservatives, Liberals, a few Labour men, and others who agreed that a peacetime coalition was best for Britain and that Lloyd George should continue as its leader. These men gathered to hear the Prime Minister announce an election for the second week of December. It was his intention, he told them, to present a unified front to the nation. He wanted the best men of each party on his side.I wish it had been possible to get every party, every section of the community united for this task — the best brains of every party. Every party has good traditions; every party has traditions which it would rather forget. (Laughter and cheers.) Let us each own up for the other party. (Renewed laughter.) I would like to see for the next four and a half years the two — the three parties together. (A voice: What about the ex-soldiers?) Ah! He surely is in, he is not a separate party; you will find that in this election.But the Prime Minister erred, for he found a party of veterans in the election.

Wallpaper from the Shop of William Poyntell

WITH its dignified, five-bay facade of beaded wood siding, extensive interior carving and paneling, and floor plan of a central hall with four corner rooms, the Imlay house in Allentown, New Jersey, is a typical, although rather late, example of the small-town Georgian mansion. 1 The builder of the house, John Imlay (1754-1813), had antecedents in Allentown; but when he started construction, presumably in the early 179o's, he was continuing his career as a Philadelphia shipping merchant in the West Indies trade.2 The wallpaper and borders that adorned one of the front bedrooms on the

The Twenty-second Annual Congress

The Twenty-second Annual CongressPublished Online:28 Jan 2014https://doi.org/10.1259/0007-1285-34-403-401SectionsPDF/EPUB ToolsAdd to favoritesDownload CitationsTrack Citations ShareShare onFacebookTwitterLinked InEmail AboutAbstractThe Twenty-second Annual Congress of the British Institute of Radiology was held at the Central Hall and Church House, Westminster, London, S.W.1, from April 26 to 28, 1961. The decision to hold the Annual Congress in the spring was, as the President, Dr. James Bull, said in his introductory remarks, an innovation. He hoped that the experiment would result in a greater attendance of members. In actual fact the figure approached 600, as compared with 550 in 1957, which was the last Congress at which a Technical Exhibition was held. There was a record number of visitors from overseas, many from Western European countries as well as from the United States and Canada. The weather was fine and in marked contrast to the dark days of some previous winter Congresses. The general opinion of members was that the innovation was an improvement and, in fact, Council has decided to hold the next Congress at the end of April, 1962.The Opening Address was given by the Rt. Hon. Lord Adrian, O.M., M.D., F.R.S. He was introduced by the President who paid a graceful compliment to his many academic distinctions—“The Master of Trinity, as all Cambridge men know, and others should, is the wisest man in the Kingdom”. He insisted that Lord Adrian was essentially a clinician, and recalled that Lord Adrian had been a house physician at the President's own hospital, the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases. Lord Adrian chose as his subject “Instruments in the Service of Medicine”.

HEARD AT THE CORROSION CONVENTION

Printed below is a selection of some of the many questions raised on the first day of the Corrosion Convention organized by CORROSION TECHNOLOGY at the Central Hall, Westminster, on October 15–16. Unfortunately, space does not permit full justice to be done to this important aspect of the Convention, so great were the number of questions and discussions instigated by the 13 papers which were read, covering a wide field of corrosion problems. A selection of questions arisng from the second day's papers will be published next month.

CORROSION COMMENTARY: THE CORROSION CONVENTION‐FACTS AND FIGURES

HEAVY ATTENDANCES AT OUR FIRST CONVENTION. CORROSION TECHNOLOGY's first Convention can fairly be judged to have been an unqualified success. Of the 517 registered delegates, over 450 actually attended at the Central Hall, Westminster, and throughout the two days, when 13 papers were presented and discussed, the Hall seldom contained less than 300. Delegates included a fair sprinkling from overseas and the following countries were represented: Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, United States and the U.S.S.R.

THE CORROSION EXHIBITION

October 14–17, 1957, is National Anti‐Corrosion Week. In addition to the Corrosion Convention to be held at the Central Hall, Westminster, CORROSION TECHNOLOGY has organised the Corrosion Exhibition to be held at the Royal Horticultural Society's Old Hall, Westminster, on October 15, 16 and 17. Over 50 leading firms in the anti‐corrosion field are exhibiting anti‐corrosion materials and services, including metals, plastics, surface coatings, packaging aids, cathodic protection and water treatment.

CORROSION CONVENTION 1957: ABSTRACTS OF THE PAPERS

At the Central Hall, Westminster, on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 15–16, the Corrosion Convention organised by CORROSION TECHNOLOGY will take place. Papers on a wide range of aspects of the corrosion problem will be delivered by authorities from industry and research. Delegates to the Convention will receive pre‐prints of all the papers, but for the benefit of readers who cannot attend we print below abstracts of a selection of the papers which are available as we go to press.
