Railway regulation in 19th Century Britain: the economic rationale and legacy of Gladstone and Chadwick
This paper examines the economic rationale of the ideas of Gladstone & Chadwick on railway regulation and the legacy of their ideas. In 1844 Gladstone proposed and implemented what we would now call price and quantity regulation whereas in 1859 Chadwick proposed competition "for the field", i.e. the establishment of a temporary monopoly or franchise, for a given period. The thinking of Gladstone had been influenced by the classical school of economic thought, most notably J R McCulloch, whilst Chadwick had ideas influenced by his association with Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. This ideas still impact today; the basic pattern of price and some quantity regulation inaugurated by Gladstone was not abolished until the 1960 Transport Act whilst Chadwicks idea of temporary licenses or franchises came back into vogue when the railways were privatised in 1997.Britain, nineteenth century, railway regulation, classical school, J R McCulloch, Edwin Chadwick, John Stuart Mill

Letter from John Chadwick to Tom Palaima, July 22, 1992
John Chadwick thanks Tom Palaima for providing a copy of Michael Ventris's original blueprints
and praises his collection of material. He refuses Palaima's request to copies of Ventris's
records and states the reason is that Ventris would not want others to use those records to
decipher what work was done by Ventris and what work was done by Chadwick.Classic

High-power inductive electric propulsion operation with alternative propellants
This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign to measure thruster-relevant parameters for a high-power (180kW) inductive propulsion system utilising Ar, O₂, N₂, and CO₂ as propellants. Results from the investigation show that inductive thrusters can make use of these propellants without the severe degradation seen in other electric propulsion systems. Furthermore, the collection of experimental data at powers greater than 100kW provides a reference of performance for the high-power electric propulsion devices intended for missions in the near future. Thrust and specific impulse in inductive systems can be improved by preferentially combining the chemical properties of atomic and molecular propellants. The maximum thrust recorded during these experiments was 7.9N, obtained using a combination of argon and oxygen (0.68 Ar + 0.32 O₂). The combination of argon and molecular propellants also decreased thermal losses within the discharge volume. Specific impulse can be doubled for the same input electric power by combining propellants, and future modifications to the thruster geometry and acceleration mechanism can be used to further improve the performance of such systems.A.R.
