The New Soper Compendium
Henry Soper (d.1695/1696) immigrated from England to Huntington, Long Island, New York in 1666, and married Sarah Wattles. In 1689, he moved to Dix Hills, New York. Joseph Soper (d.1678) immigrated from England to Boston, Massachusetts about 1634/1636, and married Eliza- beth Alcocke (Governor John Endicott performed the marriage cere- mony). John Soper (ca.1656-1742/1743) immigrated about 1676 from England to Calvert County, Maryland. Some of the New York Sopers later immigrated to Quebec, Ontario and elsewhere in Canada. Descen- dants and relatives (chiefly of Henry, with some of Joseph and John) lived in New York, Maryland, New England, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, California and elsewhere.
The Aerodynamics of a Container Freight Train
This outstanding thesis characterises the aerodynamic flow around a container freight train; investigating how changing container loading configurations affect the magnitude of aerodynamic forces measured on a container. 1/25th scale moving-model freight train experiments were carried out at the University of Birmingham’s TRAIN rig facility to investigate slipstream velocities and static pressure, as well as measuring, using a specifically designed on-board pressure monitoring system, the aerodynamic loads on containers. Results were compared with full scale data and assessed in terms European standards for trackside worker and passenger safety limits. Rail vehicle aerodynamic studies have tended to previously focus on high speed passenger trains in line with increases in train speed. The research presented within this thesis highlights the issues associated with the aerodynamic development around a freight train, providing the foundations for further research and a basis from which to develop international safety standards in relation to freight, as well as high speed trains.
Heads of Families at the First Census of the United States Taken in the Year 1790
This schedule represents a complete list of the heads of families in the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. Under law, the marshals were required to ascertain the number of inhabitants within their respective districts, omitting Indians not taxed, and distinguishing free persons (including those bound to service for a term of years) from all others; the sex and color of free persons; and the number of free males 16 years of age and over. The object of the inquiry last mentioned was, undoubtedly, to obtain definite knowledge as to the military and industrial strength of the country.
