picture info	GWR 3031 Class The Dean Single, 3031 Class, or Achilles Class was a type of steam locomotive built by the British Great Western Railway between 1891 and 1899. They were designed by William Dean for passenger work. The first 30 members of the class were built as 2-2-2s of the 3001 Class. The first eight members of the class (numbers 3021-3028, built April–August 1891) were built as convertible broad gauge 2-2-2 locomotives, being converted to standard gauge in mid-1892, at the end of broad gauge running on the Great Western Railway. A further 22 were built in late 1891 and early 1892, this time as standard gauge engines. Although the 3001 class were fitted with larger boilers than earlier GWR 2-2-2 classes, the diameter of the boiler was constrained by its position between the driving wheels. Thus boiler capacity could only be increased by making the boiler longer, not wider, bringing the smokebox and cylinders in front of the leading axle. The extra weight of the larger boilers was bo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Royal Sovereign Lighthouse Royal Sovereign lighthouse, located offshore from Eastbourne, is a decommissioned lighthouse marking the Royal Sovereign shoal, a sandbank named after HMS ''Royal Sovereign''. Its distinctive shape is easily recognised as it comprises a large platform (which functions as a helicopter deck) supported by a single pillar rising out of the water. Originally, the platform was manned by three full-time keepers, accommodation being contained in the 'cabin section' immediately below the platform. Additional accommodation was provided for up to four visiting maintenance workers. Construction and installation The lighthouse replaced a lightship that had marked the Royal Sovereign Shoal since 1875. The structure was built, in two parts, on Newhaven beach, and put into position in 1970. First, the base and attached column were floated out to the shoal, where the hollow base was flooded and allowed to sink into position. Then the cabin section and superstructure were floated out, positi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Dickinson Robinson Group The Dickinson Robinson Group, or DRG, was a listed British paper, printing and packaging company founded in 1966 as a result of a merger of John Dickinson Stationery Ltd and E. S. & A. Robinson Ltd, creating one of the world's largest stationery and packaging companies. Products with a high public profile included Sellotape, which it owned from the 1960s to 1980s, and Basildon Bond, which dated from 1911. In 1978, DRG took over the Royal Sovereign group of companies. In 1989, Roland Franklin (Pembridge Associates) acquired DRG's packaging business with a leveraged buyout worth £900 million and the assets of that company were stripped. In 1992 the packaging business was acquired by Bowater-Scott. The John Dickinson stationery business was acquired by DS Smith in 1996 and in turn in 2005 by Hamelin, a French company. Paper cup production DRG Cups manufactured and distributed disposable paper cups throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, but with the emergence of the plastic cup, wh ...
