	Clipper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clippers sailed all over the world, primarily on the trade routes between Britain and its colonies in the east, in the trans-Atlantic trade, and in the New York-to-San Francisco route round The Horn during the Gold Rush.
		Clippers, outrunning the British blockade of Baltimore, came to be recognized as ships built for speed rather than cargo space; while traditional merchant ships were accustomed to average speeds of under 5 knots (9 km/h), clippers aimed at 9 knots (17 km/h) or better.
		Given their speed and maneuverability, clippers frequently mounted cannon or carronade and were often employed as pirate vessels, privateers, smuggling vessels, and in interdiction service.

		An Alberta clipper is a type of fast moving storm which occurs over the northern Great Plains and upper Midwest in the United States.
		Winds in advance and during an Alberta clipper are frequently as high as 35 to 45 mph (56 to 72 km/h).
		As if this was not enough, Alberta clippers also tend to bring snow with them, although since the temperatures are lower the snowflakes are smaller and therefore accumulations are less.

		A clipper was a very fast multiple-masted sailing ship (A vessel that is powered by the wind; often having several masts) of the 19th century (additional info and facts about 19th century).
		Generally narrow for their length, limited in their bulk freight carrying capacities, and small by later 19th century standards, the clippers had a large relative sail (A large piece of fabric (as canvas) by means of which wind is used to propel a sailing vessel) area.
		"Clipper ships" were mostly products of British and American shipyard (A workplace where ships are built or repaired) s, though France, the Netherlands (the Dutch-built (additional info and facts about Dutch-built) "Telanak", built in 1859 for the tea and passenger trade to Java) and other nations also produced a number of them.

	Clipper Ship Information
		Although somewhat obscure in origin, the Baltimore clipper was probably a natural development of the known principles of fast-sailing-ship design popular in England in the 16th century.
		Baltimore clippers were first referred to as Virginia built, and, because they were used as pilot boats in Norfolk, Virginia, they were also referred to as pilot boat construction.
		Because the Baltimore clipper was not primarily designed for cargo carrying, little more than the name survived in the famous clipper ships of American transocean trade of the 1840s and 1850s, although the ship long remained the basic model for many small, fast-sailing craft, such as fishing schooners, pilot boats, and yachts.

		Either clipper has a high input impedance, 470k in the tube version, and 200 k in the SS version.
		Any clipper should be followed by a good audio filter of some sort, whether hollow or sand-state.

		Baltimore clippers and Atlantic packet ships were the forerunners of the true Yankee clipper, which may be said to have emerged with the Ann McKim, completed in Baltimore in 1833.
		The Yankee clipper was brought to perfection by Donald McKay of Boston, who built such vessels as the Flying Cloud, the Glory of the Seas, and the Lightning.
		The clipper came into being only after its finally successful rival, the steamship, was engaging in transoceanic voyages.

		However, the Clipper III proposal would establish this infrastructure at a price: All users of the public key infrastructure would have to ensure government access to their encryption keys through an approved key escrow agent.
		Clipper III does represent a major step forward by the Administration in acknowledging the importance of encryption and public key cryptography: "Government can no longer monopolize state of the art cryptography.
		However, Clipper III is also a clear attempt to force the widespread adoption of key escrow by leveraging the need of encryption users to participate in a public key certification system.

		The first aim of Clipper is to make diagrams that provide a very precise representation of the pulse program, maintaining a very close one-to-one correspondence with the actual text of the pulse program.
		Thus installation is trivial, clipper is very portable, and hardcopy output is (?) guaranteed to be the same as you see on screen (in a postscript viewer).
		First the actual clipper command is a front end command that does some reformatting and checking of the typed command before passing the action to clipper_pp_parse.

		(Clipper, of course, was the government's proposed solution to its projected inability to conduct legal surveillance in an encrypted digital world.) For defending the government's position and having the nerve to insist that she was duty-bound as a citizen to do so, Denning has been reviled.
		That disaster was averted when a university worker snapped the lock with a bolt cutter, but the incident reinforced her belief in the value of a system that automatically provides a spare key.
		But this third proposal, dubbed by some as Clipper III, was placed in a context of a complicated structure for the management of keys, which, of course, involves government access.
