  Chain Home - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chain Home / AMES TYPE 1 (Air Ministry Experimental Station) was the codename for the ring of coastal radar stations built by the British before and during World War II.
The Chain Home stations were arranged along the British coast, initially in the south and east of England, but later throughout the entire coastline, including the Shetland Islands.
The Chain Home system was dismantled after the war, but some of the tall steel radar towers remain, converted into new uses for the 21st Century.

 Chain Link Fencing | Chain Linking Fences
Chain link fencing can be effective for keeping pets contained in smaller areas, such as the typical residential yard.
Most chain link fences are galvanized and require minimal maintenance after being installed.
Chain link fencing provides minimal privacy so that your neighbors will have no problem seeing your yard activities but planting shrubs and small trees near the fence line can make your boundary more attractive and add privacy.

 Business in Development Network - Improving labour standards in the supply chain: Home workers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Home workers are frequently paid a fixed price for their work regardless of the hours required to complete it.
As home workers work either in their own home or in a local neighbourhood setting, these areas are not always suitably equipped to account for safety standards.
Home workers should be asked to record their work hours and employers should maintain copies of these records.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Chain Linked
If everyone in the chain had followed instructions and mailed it to five of their friends, by the time it reached you it had already been through 3,905 pairs of hands, and that only provided the first person listed was the one who began the progression.
Altruistic chain letters are those that present themselves as seeking benefit for others rather than the financial enrichment or improvement of luck of their recipients/forwarders.
A less mercenary example of a "something for nothing" chain letter that plays upon the urge to seek fame rather than fortune is the Guinness World Book of Records hoax which states as its goal the establishment of a world record.

RAF Stenigot was opened in 1940 as an east coast Chain Home radar station.
East coast stations were built to the same design as the experimental radar establishment set up at Bawdsey in 1936 consisting of a protected transmitter and receiver block with transmitter aerials suspended from four 350' steel towers and the receiver aerials mounted on four 240' timber towers.
After the war, the station remained operational as part of the 'defended area', a line or chain home stations running down the east coast from Flamborough Head in Yorkshire and along the south coast to Portland Bill in Dorset.

 Subterranea Britannica: Sites: RAF Dunkirk Chain Home Radar Station
On completion of the experimental station at Bawdsey, Dunkirk was the third 'East Coast' Chain Home station to be constructed after 1937 (after Swingate at Dover) to provide long range early warning for the Thames estuary and the south eastern approaches to London.
Following the installation if the Chain Home network, continuous research and experimentation was taking place to improve the quality and type of radars that were available, During this process it became necessary to monitor and record enemy radar transmissions with a view to overcome possible jamming by the Germans and to facilitate our own jamming.
After the war Dunkirk radar was placed on care and maintenance and in the early 1950's RAF Dunkirk was one of 15 stations selected under the ROTOR programme as a 'readiness chain home'.

 The Radar Pages - Chain Home
The CH (Chain Home) radar was the first to be organized into a complete defence system, and the first to be used in wartime operations.
It is sufficient to record here that it led to a massive programme, backed by the highest priority and virtually unlimited finance, to design, build and install a chain of early warning systems around the coast of Britain.
The importance of this courageous decision to a country whose only early warning of air attack was, at that time, a huge concrete acoustic mirror on the Romney marshes, cannot be over stated.
