	Class Definition for Class 114 - SHIPS
		Floating forts designed to be anchored in harbors usually of circular section and cylindrical or globular in form, and though such forts may have means of propulsion they differ from the general type of warships and form a distinctive class.
		Devices for protecting warships by means of armor arranged to form deflecting-surfaces to receive the impact of projectiles and cause their rebound.
		Devices in which protection is secured to the vessel or crew by means of a screen or shield secured to the vessel or which is portable.

		Many of the forts were located on remote frontiers, sparsely populated and with even fewer inhabitants literate enough to utilize the mails.
		In the 1870's, Fort Leavenworth was critical in the overall system of frontier defense, serving as a supply depot for the westernmost forts.
		Fort Leavenworth Military Prison (later a federal penitentiary) was opened in 1875, and the School of Application for Infantry and Cavalry (forerunner of the Command and General Staff College) was created in 1881.

	WW II Encyclopedia -- Norden Bombsight
		The telescope for the bombsight is toward the upper center of the bombsight.
		A bombsight is a device that is used to drop bombs accurately from aircraft, and the Norden bombsight was perhaps one of the few scientific instruments, along with radar, ever credited with playing such a large role in the Allied victory in WW II.
		It was said that bombardiers had to carry a pistol to shoot the device like a lame horse if they crash-landed in enemy territory, though there is no incident of this ever actually occurring.

	Electrostatic Discharge Association
		An electronic device sliding into or out of a bag, magazine or tube generates an electrostatic charge as the device's case and/or metal leads make multiple contacts and separations with the surface of the container.
		A device that is exposed to an ESD event may be partially degraded, yet continue to perform its intended function.
		Damage to an ESDS device by the ESD event is determined by the device's ability to dissipate the energy of the discharge or withstand the voltage levels involved.

	Electrostatic Discharge Association: Fundamentals of ESD
		If the device is then momentarily grounded while within the electrostatic field, a transfer of charge from the device occurs as a CDM event.
		If the device is removed from the region of the electrostatic field and grounded again, a second CDM event will occur as charge (of opposite polarity from the first event) is transferred from the device.
		As noted earlier, damage to an ESDS device by the ESD event is determined by the device's ability to dissipate the energy of the discharge or withstand the voltage levels involved-its ESD sensitivity.

	Fortified Places > Fortresses > Deal Castle
		In 1538 France and Spain formed an alliance, after King Henry VIII of England embraced protestantism and was excommunicated from the Catholic Church.
		In 1539 it was decided that a chain of three coastal forts would be built at Sandown, Deal and Walmer.
		The unusual design of the castle is said to have been an attempt to emulate the form of the Tudor Rose, the emblem of the royal family.

	English Sabla - The Twin Forts--Muscat's Guardians!
		Flanking His Majesty the Sultan's Al-Alam Palace, the so-called Twin Forts: Al-Jalali and Al-Mirani, in conjunction with the veritable defences of the Fort of Muttrah and a host of fortified structures and watchtowers along the rocky ridges of the bay, made Muscat virtually impregnable.
		The forts were originally built by Portuguese in the early of the 16th century, and more fortifications and towers were added towards the latter half of the century.
		A formidable wall almost a metre thick runs around the fort, supplementing the natural defences offered by the rocky outcrop on which it stands.In fact, the structure was built along the contours of the outcrop, with the main fortification resting on the summit of the outcrop.

		A broad, gently sloped earthwork or natural slope in front of a fort, separated from the fort proper by a ditch and outworks and so arranged as to be swept with musket or cannon fire.

	NEXUS: Ancient Atomic Warfare? - Part 1/2
		The flat surface on the top is 120 feet from the sea level, and the remains of the vitrified fort are situated on this, oblong in form, with a continuous rampart of vitrified wall five feet thick, attached at the SW end to a large upright rock of gneiss.
		Their experiments did not resolve any of the questions surrounding vitrified forts, however, because they had only proven that it was theoretically possible to pile enough wood and brush on top of a mixture of wood and stone to vitrify the mass of stone.
		The forts on the western coast of Scotland are reminiscent of the mysterious clifftop forts in the Aran Islands on the west coast of Ireland.

		A difficulty was thus presented which apparently could not be met by any device which would not seriously impair the efficiency of the propeller.
		The accurate knowledge possessed by the adversary of the distance between the forts on the river banks within range of his guns, would enable him to point the latter with such accuracy that unless every part of the sides of the battery could be made absolutely shot-proof, destruction would be certain.
		It may be observed that the accurate knowledge of range was an advantage in favor of the Southern forts which placed the attacking steam-batteries at great disadvantage.

	Fort Smith National Historic Site -The gallows, 1897 to 1957 - Requisant in Pace?
		The gallows at best could be considered a crude device and was the source of much controversy.
		While there is no record of the council's reaction to this request, shortly thereafter, in the summer of 1897, the mayor ordered that the gallows be dismantled and burned.
		After the wall surrounding the old fort was removed, the city of Fort Smith constructed streets through the grounds of the old fort, and right through the location of the gallows.

	Device Forts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Device Forts are a series of artillery fortifications built in England by Henry VIII.
		After his divorce of Catherine of Aragon left England politically isolated, a treaty between France and Spain in 1538 aroused fears of invasion.
		Henry took a personal interest in the military engineering techniques of the time, and approved and amended the designs himself.

		Southsea Castle (50°46′41″N, 1°05′20″W) is one of Henry VIII's Device Forts, built on the waterfront at the southern end of Portsea Island (an area that later became named Southsea after the castle).
		The castle was built to guard the eastern entrance to the Solent and entrance to Portsmouth Harbour.
		Built by Henry VIII in 1544, Southsea Castle was one in a series of forts constructed in what was the most ambitious scheme of coastal defence since Roman times.

		A veritable fortress of science that will have more than a passing resemblance to the famed "ring of steel" forts that France has built along its eastern border, is planned for early construction by the scientists of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
		A giant atom-smashing machine of the electrostatic type, which will produce bombarding "bullets" of at least 10 million volts energy, will be built by Dr. M.A. Tuve of the Carnegie's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism, it was announced at the meeting of the American Physical Society in Washington.
		The construction of the new atom "fort" is comparable, in its field of atomic study, with the construction, 25 years ago, of the great 100-inch telescope which brought worldwide fame to Mt. Wilson Observatory of the Carnegie Institution.

	NETLEY CASTLE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		With the re-establishment of the monarchy the fort became redundant, and by the outbreak of late 17th hostilities with Holland and France, its design had become obsolete and its setting incompatible with the continental system of bastioned earthwork defences (Saunders, 1989) being championed by De Gomme at nearby Portsmouth harbour and elsewhere.
		Though no structural remains were revealed here - suggesting that this end of the fort was removed during or prior to construction of that wing - the lower foundation material exposed at the west end of the bulk excavation may represent the western foundation of the northern battery platform.
		The 18th century estate surveys (Figure 2), though lacking in resolution, distinguish the condition of the fort from that of the adjacent monastic ruins, and appear to indicate the presence of gables over the landward elevation of the keep at that time.
