Iron Duke

There is evidence that the increasing demand represented by Admiralty orders forced up prices. Treasury figures showed that the battleship Queen Elizabeth, laid down in October 1912, and costing 2,431,872, would have cost 2,112,000 had it been built at Iron Duke prices (the Iron Duke had been laid down in January 1912). The accounts of shipyards on the Clyde show that the profitability of work for the Admiralty was actually lower in 1909-14 than in 1899-1909, suggesting that higher prices reflected the cost of inputs rather than... 

And so it stands today. We predict, to use the Iron Duke s phrase to Creevey, that it will be "a nice-run thing the nicest-run thing you ever saw.. .."...

Nickel is used to make stainless steel, cast iron, permanent magnets, and storage batteries (Duke, 1980b). It is also used as a catalyst and for electroplating (Duffus, 1980 Manahan, 1991). Because of its use, nickel can be found as a contaminant in industrial water discharges (U.S. EPA, 1986a). 

Right. I ll check down there." She started walking towards the other end of the hangar. The ancient corrugated iron roof panels were creaking softly as they shed the heat of Duke-day. 

The Duke shut the study door as the King used an iron poker to stir the fire.

The Hon. Edward Charles Howard (Darnell, Sheffield, 28 May 1774-London, 28 September 1816), third brother of the twelfth Duke of Norfolk, is best known for his invention of the vacuum pan for evaporating sugar syrup, which he patented in 1812. He found nickel in meteoric iron. ... 

As early as 1584, the Duke of Brunswick recommended the application of desulfurized coal as an alternative to charcoal for the production of salt. The first patent for the production of coke for use in blast furnaces for iron smelting was granted to Dud Dudley in England in 1622. 

The extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves (EGb 761) inhibited both doxorubicin-induced lipid peroxidation of rat brain homogenates and doxorubicin-induced lethality in mice (Chatterjee and Ga-BARD 1982). From the leaves of this eucaryote Duke and Salin (1985) isolated an iron-containing, cyanide-insensitive superoxide dismutase (EC 1. 15.1.1) exhibiting a sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide. A very faint cuprozinc superoxide dismutase... 

On the publication of his work on steel in 1722 Reaumur was given a pension of 12,000 livres by the Duke of Orleans, but he made it over to the Academy for the perfection of the arts. He also introduced the manufacture of tinplate into France, showing that the iron sheets must be very clean and free from oxide before they are dipped in the bath of melted tin covered with tallow. 2 The nature of steel continued to be obscure till the work of Berthollet and Guyton de Morveau (see p, 530). In 1779 Jean Demeste, a Liege surgeon who made chemistry a hobby, thought that ordinary iron contains zinc, which is removed when it is converted into steel. ... 

Perhaps in Shakespeare too, need ultimately takes precedence over faith, as for many English Cathohcs at the time of the Armada, patriotism in the country s hour of need certainly did, and a quietly ironic appreciation of the absurdities and contradictions of the pohtical system and the official rehgion it enforced seemed to him preferable to opetdy challenging it. Both Henry V and the Duke of Measure for Measure may be morally suspect, but both, albeit in different ways, show themselves able to deploy and indeed arguably suborn the power of the spiritual and to harness it firmly to the cause of their own temporal power, and the ways...
