		FORT PERCH ROCK was built as a coastal defense battery during the Napoleonic period to protected the Port of Liverpool.
		FORT PERCH ROCK is perhaps the most important coastal defense Battery in the North West of England.
		As the Rock Channel slowly became silted, the larger ships ceased to use it and it became necessary to equip the battery with larger guns capable of reaching the range.

	The New Brighton Fort
		During the early 1800's the various merchants and others of the area thought the Port of Liverpool should be guarded and when the old perch Rock Light was washed away the authorities thought of the idea of having a fortified lighthouse, or having a fort which would contain a lighthouse.
		This foundation stone of the Rock Perch Battery, projected by and under the direction of John Sikes Kitson, Esquire, Captain in the Royal Engineers, for the defence of the port was laid on 31st March 1826 by Peter Bourne, Esquire, Mayor of Liverpool in the 7th year of the reign of His Majesty George IV.
		In 1893 the battery was dismantled and the guns returned to Ordnance, the following year two 4.7" Quick Firing guns were delivered but due to a change of plans, as regards a second fort being built, the were installed at Seaforth Battery on the opposite side of the river.

		Slings are loops of nylon material, usually 1/2" to 1" in width, which are tied around natural features (protrusions or cavities in the rock, or trees) or connected to bolts, pitons, or chocks.
		Some wilderness peaks and rock walls can be climbed without leaving a single safety anchor, either along the route or on the summit.
		Depending on the height of the peak or rock formation, multiple rappels (many 50 meter ropelengths) may be required to reach the bottom.

		Douglass and his men were frequently dragged through the surf from the rock to the waiting boat because it was impossible for the boat to come alongside the working area, but in his reports he made light of it.
		The racks of batteries installed here are quite small compared to those at the Eddystone, but that is hardly surprising because Eddystone is now entirely powered by solar energy and the number of batteries required to provide the necessary power is large.

		The cage very soon became too small for her, and when the Macaw tree came, we found she could not reach between the perches on the tree, so I fastened natural hemp rope between them and also a knotted rope that went all the way to the floor.
		I made a car perch for her and put a paper on the floor and would stop and put her on the paper every 30 minutes or so and that worked out fine.
		She bent her neck down and looked under her body to see what he was doing back there, and when she saw him eating the peanut, she was so disgusted with him that she reached back with one foot and gave his leg a really hard yank.

	"Throwing Rocks" by Sohn Enis
		Two of the four were broken, and from the way she held a lemon-sized rock in her hand, it was easy to predict the fate of the last two windows, unless Hattie missed or Jimmy Earl shot her first.
		Its old battery sometimes gave out in the heat and had to be charged overnight, but it never stranded me beyond a short walk home.
		I guess the excitement of the snake and the problem with the truck battery took my mind off the fact that the closest house to our truck belonged to Crazy Hattie and her family of interlopers.

	Rocket Basics by Morton-Thiokol
		Assume that the weight of both the grasshopper and his perch are precisely the same.
		Some of the most widely used and best known were: the American Bazooka antitank missile, Calliope 4.5 inch battery rocket, and antisubmarine Projector Mark 10 (known as the Hedgehog); the German Nebelwerfer 15 and 21 centimeter high explosive and Schweres Wurfgerat 21 centimeter incendiary rockets; and the British 3 and 5 inch rockets.
		Thus, if a rock could be thrown with enough force to overcome the effects of gravity and wind resistance, it would continue to move in a straight line at the same speed as it has attained at release by the thrower.
