		Whilst the Royal Commission deliberated, work went on in Dover and the tidal harbour doubled in size in 1844 with the demolition of Amherst's Battery and the excavation of the land on which it stood.
		The South Eastern Railway reached Dover via Folkestone in 1844 and the plans for the pier were altered to provide a station which could deliver passengers and goods directly to the gang-planks of the channel boats.
		Traffic increased with the arrival of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway line in 1861 which was connected to the pier in 1864.

	Admiralty Pier Turret
		A cross-section diagram of the Admiralty Pier Turret.
		It was first regarded as purely a naval weapon, but in 1877 the Admiralty decided that something larger than the existing guns was needed to protect Dover, and the idea of a turret containing two of these weapons at the end of the Admiralty Pier was born.
		The turret, 37 feet in diameter and weighing, with the guns in their mountings, 895 tons, cost £90,000.

	Dover
		The high cliffs of Dover are picturesque in the extreme, and were looked on by the Britons of the earliest times as the vanguard of the British defences.
		It was from the cliffs of Dover that the Roman galleys approaching the shores of Britain were seen by the gallant people, who resolved to sell their lives and liberty dearly.
		But though Dover Castle was saved from the surprise intended by Eustace de Boulogne and the men of Kent, it was not so fortunate during the civil war in Charles I.'s reign.

		The Hospital of La Maison Dieu, or Domus Dei which forms part of the Town Hall buildings was founded by Hubert de Burgh then Constable of Dover Castle, in 1203.
		At first consisting of little more than a hall and kitchen, it was enlarged after the canonisation of St. Thomas a Becket, for the a,ccommodation of the large numbers of pilgrims crossing from the Continent to visit his shrine at Canterbury.
		The only other internal parts left visible were the interior of the stair turret at the north angle of the Tower, and part of a built-up arcade which formerly existed between the Hall and other parts of the Maisoa Dieu on the site of the Connaught Hall, from which the arches are seen.

	Science Museum \| The Wells Cathedral Clock \| The Dover Castle clock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This clock was found in Dover Castle in 1851, removed from there in 1872 and brought to the Science Museum in 1884.
		On arriving at Dover, he was immediately sent to India and left the clock on the quayside, where the Navy took charge of it and took it to the Castle.
		The clock is most likely to date from the early 17th century because of its similarity to one from Quickswood Farm in Hertfordshire, which was made in 1625 but later converted to pendulum operation.

		Dover Flexo engineers worked with Hi-Cone's Charleston plant maintenance staff to install the tension transducers and tension controllers.
		As the rolls exit the slitter station, dead-shaft idler rolls equipped with Dover Flexo Model C tension transducers installed on the shaft ends communicate with SteadyWeb tension controllers mounted on the turret control cabinet.
		By allowing the machine operator to unload full rolls and load empty cores onto the free shaft of the rewind turret without ever stopping the machine to do the roll hangouts, routine downtime at the rewind is also eliminated.

		Some critics, however, have said that such a division is artificial, that all "political" works in some way reflect the individual's interior life-- that through the act of creating a political poem, the poet reveals his own personal biases and agendas.
		Anthony Hecht's speaker in "The Dover Bitch" is an example of the second type speaker-- a character we don't necessarily trust, who walks the borderline between sympathy and ridicule.
		Given its dramatic context, a narrative comment on Arnold's "Dover Beach," it is possible to read "The Dover Bitch" as ironic.

		The turret has always struck me as odd looking, and the angle of the rear of the turret is clearly not steep enough.
		Once the basic shape was done, I added some components that are part of the casting including the splash lips around the gun ports, the base for the turret cupola and signal flag port, and the panels for the side view slits.
		The turret cupola is a very complicated shape, and the kit does not depict the side flap detail very well.

		These tests were not totally successful; the turret rotation assembly tended to freeze while the fighter was in deep space, and the Slayer´s upswept tail assemblies limited the turret´s field of fire.
		Though turret-testing for the Slayer was suspended in 2780, the craft retains a vestige of the experiment: the rear weapons mount is positioned on the raised circular plate where the turret once sat.
		In December of 2787, House Davion forces got their first introduction to the Slayer in the Battle of Kesai IV during the major push to that planet´s ´Mech supply depot.

		As a sort of spin-off from Clem's propaganda thread, I thought it might be interesting to see if we could find examples of the octopus used by the military in the form of insignia, badges or unit markings.
		The top turret was painted to look like the head of an Octopus, and then its legs went around the body of the plane.* I volunteered for a top turret spot but was turned down.
		As can be seen from this set of model kit decals, the octopus, which was centered around the top turret, had only six arms.
