	Henri Cornet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henri Cornet (born Henri Jaudry August 4, 1884 - March 18, 1941) was a French cyclist who won the 1904 Tour de France.
		The race was marred by a multitude of problems including irate spectators throwing nails on the road in the final stage that forced Henri Cornet to ride the last 40 kilometers with two flat tires.
		Such was the commotion over the 1904 race that Tour founder Henri Desgrange declared it was most likely the last time the race would ever be run as the dethroned winner was suspended from competition for two years (he retired), and the second place finisher was banned for life.

	CNRS - A Laboratory Carefully Located on a Fault Line
		The Corinth Rift (central Greece) is the fastest widening rift in the world, at 1cm per year.
		The major CRL project consists of collecting data on the influence of fluids in general and water in particular on the behavior of faults and, inversely, data on the effects of fault activity on the local hydro-geology.
		Cornet's team is not, however, limiting its ambition to only these objectives; they aim to drill to a depth of 5,000 meters to observe what happens in what is truly the heart of the seismic zone.

		Using parts from "junker" Besson cornets from the same time, plus a reproduction echo bell, I was able to fabricate the new echo attachment shown, which was silver plated to match.
		An interesting aspect to this cornet is that it was in Bb naturally (high pitch), but (according to the Pollmann catalog) came furnished with additional crooks to drop it into A, Ab and G. Note that this system required a special wide shank cornet mouthpiece (nearly the same as a trumpet).
		This unusual cornet has two extra valve slides as well as some additional "plumbing." They were usually marketed under the trademark name "Enharmonic" although this example is not labeled as such.

		-The youngest rider to win was Henri Cornet, age 20, in 1904; Firmin Lambot, at 36, was the oldest in 1922.
		Henri Desgrange, editor of "L'Auto et Le Velo", realized that some sort of limit had been reached when a rival publication put on Paris-Brest-Paris, a little nonstop jaunt of 1100 km!
		Long after the derailleur had been invented, that mechanism which allows gears to be shifted with just the flick of a lever, and long after they had been adopted by tourists, ol' Henri forbade their use in the Tour.

		Henri Desgrange was the editor of the "L'Auto" publication and also a former cycling champ.
		So Henri decided to create an even more grueling and awesome race that would last an entire month and take it's competitors on a 1,500 mile route through France that begins in Paris and ends in Paris.
		The original 1,500 miles is now 2,500 miles and includes some really tough stretches of biking through the Alps, the Massif Central, the Pyrenees mountains and ending at Paris' Arc de Triomphe.

		That first Tour de France was organised by French journalist and cyclist Henri Desgranges.
		However, the 1904 race saw spectators intimidating and physically attacking those cyclists they did not support, as well as putting up roadblocks and spreading nails on the road to further impede their progress.
		As a result, the first four cyclists were disqualified, including first-place Maurice Garin, leaving fifth-place Henri Cornet as winner, and, at 19 years 50 weeks, still the youngest victor in the race’s history (the oldest winner ever was Firmin Lambot of Belgium who was 36 years four months when he won in 1922).
