Sir (Albert) Noel Campbell Macklin (1886–1946), racing motor car and warship manufacturer
No full textSir (Albert) Noel Campbell Macklin (1886–1946), racing motor car and warship manufacturer, was born in Western Australia on 28 October 1886, the eldest son of Charles Campbell Macklin (1866–1918), barrister, and his wife, Ada Louisa, née Lockyer (1863/4–1935). The family was resident in Wimbledon by 1891 and Macklin was educated at Eton College. He became a successful amateur jockey, represented England at ice hockey between 1908 and 1910, and raced at Brooklands in a Mercedes in 1909. He married in March 1912 Esmé Victoria (b. 1887), daughter of Hinton Stewart of Strathgarry, Perthshire. Commissioned in the Royal Field Artillery in 1914, he served in France where he was badly wounded in 1915. On his transfer to the RNVR he enlisted Violette Cordery as his driver. In 1919 his marriage ended in divorce and at Chertsey register office, on 24 August 1920, he married (Lucy) Leslie Cordery (1896–1980), whose name was variously given as Leslie Lane Cordery and Leslie Cordery Lane, and identified as daughter of Henry Lane, farmer, with whom he had two daughters and a son.
After the war Macklin became involved in making fast cars, initially the Eric-Campbell and then the Silver Hawk, at Fairmile, Cobham, Surrey. Backed by his neighbours, Oliver and Philip Lyle (of the Tate and Lyle sugar family), Macklin went on to develop the Invicta, which had enormous torque (pulling power) that demanded little or no gear-changing—as requested by Mrs Eileen Lyle—and offered motorists effortless performance. Such was the flexibility of the engine that owners were expected to use just first and top gear. After the successes of Cordery and Healey, Macklin ceased to manufacture the Invicta in 1933 and went on to make Railton cars under licence at his works at Fairmile, Cobham
The chronostratigraphy of Pleistocene deposits in south east London: a methodological assessment
No full textRecent work by Nunn has proposed a denudation chronology at variance with the sedimentologically based framework outlined by Macklin for high level Pleistocene deposits of south east London. It is important to evaluate the merits of these respective methodologies from which Pleistocene events are formalised. -Author</p

‘The Great Bowyer Bible’: Robert Bowyer and the Macklin Bible
No full textThis article examines an iconic example of grangerizing: the Macklin Bible extra-illustrated in 45 volumes by London artist and bookseller Robert Bowyer (1758‐1834) in the first quarter of the nineteenth century (Bolton Libraries and Museums, Bolton, United Kingdom). The principal focus is on the Bowyer Bible as an example of an extra-illustrator’s close engagement with its source publication. The author argues that Bowyer’s practice responds not only to the Bible or the King James Bible, in general, but also to the Macklin Bible, in particular. The article discusses how the Bowyer Bible engages with the Macklin Bible specifically and how it reflects a broader range of concerns in its visual engagement with the Bible. It demonstrates that Bowyer’s curation of biblical visual material evidences both his professional interests as a connoisseur of prints and his personal interests in the visual culture of the Bible that reflect his own piety as well as contemporaneous developments in the study of the scriptures. Other matters discussed in the article are the original function of this Bible, as well as the extent to which it reflects and is distinctive from contemporaneous extra-illustrated books

In March 1955, the base on Heard Island was temporarily discontinued, but in February, 1954, a station was established at Mawson, on the Antarctic mainland. The men who man these stations, the scientists, cooks, doctors, engineers, carpenters, radio operators and dog-masters are drawn from all walks of life in Australia, and stay on the bases for a year at a time. many of them return to one or another of the stations for a second, and in some cases for a third term."--Printed on label on verso.; Condition: Buckled.; "L18641"--From label on verso.; Also available online at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn6001663; Donated by Mrs Julie Carver, 2012
Predicting Dangerousness and the Public Health Response to AIDS
No full textIt is argued on ethical grounds that public health measures to
control the spread of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) must rely on
voluntary efforts, rather than on mandatory quarantine or isolation of
infected individuals. Although state interference to prevent harm to third
parties is accepted when criminal behavior is involved, application of the
harm principle is controversial in other contexts. Using the analogy of
involuntary commitment of the mentally ill, where prediction of dangerousness
is based on past behavior, the author points out that testing for HIV
antibodies can give a yes-or-no answer to whether a person is infected.
However, because there is little basis for predicting whether the person will
act to infect others, only people who are known wantonly to jeopardize others
should be isolated. Macklin also examines the special situations of prisoners
and prostitutes, as well as the social impact of mass invasions of privacy and
denial of civil rights. (KIE abstract
Flat-share: A Critical Survey of High Density Dwelling in Glasgow and Singapore
No full textThis paper explores the impact of contextual matters on the production of design and outlines challenges facing a distributed design studio model. By describing contextual difference as well as similarity, it offers some insights into how communication around the development of a response to context is undertaken and seeks to understand how it might be enhanced.
