According to Newman (Ref 5), Maximite was a proplnt consisting of NC, NG and castor oil, patented in 1889 by Hiram S. Maxim, to operate the machine gun he invented... 

Expected changes are less dramatic in the HIRHAM H model, which projects a reduction of 3.8% for the mean annual precipitation and an increase of 4.2°C for the mean annual temperature. While the two RCMs predict quite different reductions of the mean annual precipitation, with HIRAM H showing only a slight reduction, both models agree in a dramatic increment of the annual temperature for the time-slice 2071-2100, with RCAO E projecting the largest increase with respect to the control period.

Freemasons use the tools of stonemasons, not for physical work but to contemplate as symbols in their philosophical mystical practice, in the same way that Rosicrucians practice alchemy without the chemical experiments. In the Masonic ritual of initiation, a Mason acts out the death of Hiram and is reborn to the lodge. The twentieth century... 

Figure 6.2 A ceremonial Masonic leather apron bears several symbols. Inside the circular ouroboros in the center is the primary Masonic symbol, the square and the compass joined, which is a reference to the alchemical squaring of the circle. The skull of Hiram is in the middle of that, and the landscape below is the Temple of Solomon with the two pillars, named Boaz and jakin, in front. The great pyramids are in the bottom left comer.

Vickers. Brit machine guns. The firm of Vickers began in Sheffield as steel makers and from this it moved into shipbuilding and opened yards on the Tyne and in the northwest of Engl. A factory was constructed at Erith on the Thames, and it was here that the Maxim gun was manufd. Hiram Maxim (see Vol 8, M45-R) needed a partner with a manufg base for the production of his gun, and in 1883 he entered into an agreement with Albert Vickers. In time the firm be-... 

Sample History. A malt sample which had been treated with gibberellic acid at a 1-p.p.m. level was submitted to Hiram Walker Sons, Inc., for use in a pilot scale (0.16 bushel) bourbon fermentation. After fermentation, the beer was dealcoholized with steam and the grain residue was concentrated and dried in a tray dryer at 160° to 170° F. 

The authors thank Marlin T. Leffler and Edward J. Matson of Abbott Laboratories and Michael R. Sfat of the Rahr Malting Co. for the coordination of this project, and J. M. Van Lanen of Hiram Walker Sons, Inc., for the experimental sample of distillers dry solids. They are particularly indebted to Gunter Zweig and Gladys R. Cosens of the Pesticide Residue Research Laboratory, University of California, Davis, for all planting data and samples for the grape and potatoes residue studies. 

As early as 1718 there was a hand-operated repeating gun, and in 1862 Dr. Richard Gatling demonstrated a weapon of this kind which used revolving barrels. These weapons had severe limitations and it was not until 1884 that the first real fully automatic machine gun was patented by Sir Hiram Maxim. This was the first automatic firearm, and it was recoil operated.36 The development of the Maxim machine gun focused attention on the development of self-loading rifles and pistols.

Maxim, Hiram Steven, Sir (1840—1916). American expatriate in Engl who specialized in Ord and expls. His major inventions included (1) design and constrn of the modern machine gun (1884—89), (2) gelatinization of NC using acet, either alone or in mixt with eth or ale (BritP of 1888), (3) addition of an oil, such as castor oil, to a mixt of NC and NG to obtain a slow burning smokeless powd for small cal weapons, (4) prepn of smokeless powd in the form of sin e-perforated rods, plain or with exterior channels ruiming parallel to the long...
