THE NIGHT SKY IN APRIL

Look outside as soon as the sky is dark on any clear night in April and youwill see Leo dominating the Southern sky (see your Parish Magazine for April2013), with Mars rising in the East, and Jupiter still shining brightly high in theSouth West.

Now look towards the North West, and you will see a group of starsforming a conspicuous letter "W" formation, at a comfortable height above thehorizon, belonging to the constellation Cassiopeia. This area of the sky iscircumpolar (forgotten what "circumpolar" means? See the Magazine datedDecember 2013) so you can see Cassiopeia on any clear night of the year. But as itmoves around the Pole Star, of course, it sometimes looks more like an "M" than a"W".

Alongside Cassiopeia you will find the constellation Cepheus. We havemarked with a Greek letter delta (δδδδ) one of the stars in Cepheus. This star is notparticularly noteworthy in itself, but it has played a very important part in thehistory of astronomical discovery, as we shall now explain.

When we talk about the brightness of a star, we can mean two differentthings. Do we mean the amount of light it is emitting, which has nothing to do withthe star's distance from us, or do we mean how brightly it shines in our sky, whichobviously does depend on its distance? Astronomers call the first meaning the star'sabsolute magnitude, and the second its apparent magnitude. For most stars thebrightness remains constant for many centuries or millenia; we are fortunate thatthis is true for our own sun. But a significant proportion of stars are variable, andDelta Cephei belongs to a certain type of variable stars which have now beennamed "Cepheids". Every five days the brightness of this particular Cepheidincreases appreciably, and then falls back to its previous value.

We can measure the distances of the nearest stars quite easily by atriangulation method, something like the method used by map-makers to measuredistances on the earth's surface, but only a few stars are near enough for this methodto give accurate results. And this is where Cepheids come into the story. Theperiod of any Cepheid variable can be anything between about 2 days and 30 days.Now it has been discovered that the period is closely related to the star's absolutemagnitude, so that if we know the period we can infer directly its absolutemagnitude. Also, if we know the absolute and the apparent magnitudes of a star wecan immediately calculate its distance. Astronomers have now used this method towork out the distances of many Cepheids in our own galaxy, and also for galaxiesup to many millions of light-years away. All these distances, however, depend uponour measurement of the distance to Delta Cephei, which is now known veryaccurately, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope. EDITOR

COTHERSTONE PRIMARY SCHOOL

It’s great to see the weather taking a turn for the better. Thechildren are enjoying being able to play outside and enjoy thesunshine. We are looking forward to once again supporting theannual Sport Relief event with a sponsored bike ride along therailway line. There will be a two mile course for the younger childrenand a five mile course for the older children. We’re hoping the lovelyweather continues and will report back as to how the event went.

Some of the older children will soon be joining other childrenfrom Teesdale primary schools at Staindrop Academy for an eveningevent of songs and music. The theme is focussed around thecentenary of the start of World War 1. It’s always a fantasticexperience to hear the children singing as part of a larger choir.

Greek Workshop Report by Luke & TiggyKey Stage 2 children went on a trip to the Bowes Museum to

learn about the Greeks. First we looked at the number at the top of theBowes Museum, the number was how many people live in the world.Secondly, we heard a story about Perseus and Andromeda as welooked at a painting. After that we made clay pots, designed our ownmonsters, saw light art and watched the Silver Swan. Finally welooked at the gallery and then we finished with another story.

Primary Tag Rugby Festival Report by Oliver & CharlotteClass 3 went to a Tag Rugby Tournament at Teesdale School.

Fourteen teams took part and we were the smallest school taking part.Out of six games we won five, we scored lots of tries. Overall, wecame third. We had a great time!

LARTINGTON HISTORYRev. William Lawrence Binks

Born Lartington 1819

The father of William Lawrence Binks was William Binks ofLartington who was Butler to both Henry and his son Monsignor ThomasWitham at Lartington Hall. A faithful servant to the Witham family for 50years William Senior passed away at Richmond,Yorks on 17 August 1858aged 74 years and is buried with his wife in the churchyard of St Romalds,Romaldkirk. (see photo) He was married to Jane who died at Lartingtonaged 35 years on 29 April 1823. William, Jane and their only son WilliamLawrence were Roman Catholics as were most of the residents ofLartington before 1910. At some point while growing up at Lartington Hallyoung William turned his back on his faith and became a follower of JohnWesley, the father of Methodism who had a large following in the leadmining community.

William Lawrence Binks does not feature in the 1841 census forLartington and left the area probably circa 1840 aged 21 years and becamea Wesleyan Missionary in British Guiana, and the West Indies. He wasordained Feb 1849 in Grenada, West Indies and received by … unanimousvote into “full connexion” (Bickford).

He married Sarah Green Howse in 1848 at St Vincent, West Indies. Sarahwas born in Poulton, Gloucestershire in 1826. Of three children born tothem in the West Indies two died young of yellow fever. Sarah andWilliam were lucky to survive the disease themselves so with son WilliamHowse Binks, b. 1853, they left the West Indies in April 1853 on the sugar-carrying sailing barque “Cleopatra” arrived in London in May 1853.

In 1855 they left England and emigrated to Melbourne, Australiaarriving 26 November 1855 on board the ship “Aberfoyle” with their smallson. William immediately took charge of the principal Wesleyan MethodistCircuit in Melbourne, residing in Collins St, Melbourne.

Teesdale Mercury Archives obituary for William Binks inAugust 1858 make no mention of his only son and heir in Australiaonly that William senior spent his retirement visiting friends andacquaintances in Richmond and was a much respected man servingthree generations of the Withams.

We will never know buthis son did not forget him and erected his headstone in lovingmemory. June Watson _________________________________The story of Rev.

HISTORY OF SOUND RECORDING (3)

By the beginning of the twentieth century several different systems ofrecording sound had been tried, and a few records of music were being sold, bothon discs and cylinders. The machines on which these could be played at first wereturned by hand, but were soon replaced by clockwork mechanisms. It graduallybecame clear that the disc was the more convenient format, and by 1920 almost allrecordings were sold on discs, either 10 inches or 12 inches in diameter, turning atabout 78 r.p.m. (revolutions per minute), and with a playing time of three or fourminutes.

Most of the surface of the disc was covered by a fine spiral groove. If youexamined this with a powerful magnifying glass you could see little wiggles whichmatched the sounds it was playing. A recording of a flute playing a single note, forexample, would look just like the graph in the article on page 15 of last month'sMagazine. The wiggles were converted back to sound by a soundbox, constructedas shown above. A replaceable steel needle (N) was put into the groove on therotating record, and the wiggles in the groove made the needle move rapidly to theleft and right. The vibrations were passed to a flexible diaphragm (D) via a pivot (P)and a lever L. The sound produced by the diaphragm was almost too weak to beheard, but it passed along a tube and was amplified by a carefully designed horn,like that illustrated in the well-known picture made famous by "His Master's Voice"record company.

Until the 1920s, the only way of recording a master disc from whichcopies could be pressed out in sufficient numbers for selling to the public was to useapparatus very similar to that used for playing them, except that the needle wasreplaced by a tiny chisel which cut the wiggly groove in a suitable material.Because the energy for moving the cutter had all to come from the actual soundsthemselves, only quite loud sounds could be recorded; singers, for instance, had toput their heads almost inside the horn in order to feed enough energy to therecording apparatus. But when, in the mid 1920s, microphones and amplifierswere developed for the broadcasting and receiving of wireless transmissions, it wasquickly realised that these could be equally useful in the recording of sounds, andit became possible for the first time to record large choirs and orchestras. Alsorecord players could use lightweight electrical pickups and loudspeakers instead ofheavy soundboxes and horns. The sale of gramophone records then increased year

by year. Perhaps the most famous record made in this early period was of the 15-year-old Ernest Lough singing Mendelssohn's "Hear my Prayer" with the TempleChurch choir in London. You can still hear this wonderful recording by going to:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxHrvw3ZMrQModern technology has been used, of course, to transfer the sound to the internet,and most of the "clicks" and "hiss" which accompanied the early recordings havebeen removed.

Recordings made in this way were sold in large numbers for the next sixtyyears, but with significant improvements as new techniques and materials becameavailable. Before WWII the records were made of a solidified varnish calledshellac, but from the early 1950s this was replaced by vinyl, a plastic which hadbeen developed during the war. Not only was vinyl much less fragile than shellac,but it allowed the grooves to be more closely spaced. And it was now possible toget good sound with a slower rotation speed. These new records were called LongPlaying (LP), and were played at 331/3 r.p.m. instead of the old 78. One side of adisc could then carry 25 minutes of music instead of just over 4 minutes.Recordings of shorter items, such as pop songs, were also issued on 7 inch discsplaying at 45 r.p.m. Customers' record-playing equipment then had to be able toplay at three different speeds.

These vinyl records, played on good quality equipment, could then soundquite like the original live performance, and a few enthusiasts became almostfanatical in their search for "High Fidelity" sound. The chief weakness still lay inthe absence of the deepest bass notes which, although present on the disc beingplayed, could be reproduced only by a large loudspeaker in a substantial cabinet. Sosome keen amateurs built large corner cabinets to provide the necessary volumewithout occupying too much room space. They then found that the extreme treblesounds were not produced adequately, and so added one or two smaller loudspeakerunits to take the frequency response almost up to the limit of audability, at 20,000v.p.s. Some less discerning folk poked fun at this enthusiasm, and invented theword "woofer" for a bass speaker and "tweeter" for a treble unit, words which havenow found their way into the Oxford English Dictionary. It is ironic that the presentgeneration of audiophiles now look for smaller and smaller equipment, and happilylisten to their music with the bass sounds almost completely missing. ".Hi-Fi" isseldom mentioned.

There was one further development in the life history of the gramophonerecord, before it became almost obsolete with the development of the Compact Disc(CD) in the 1980s. We each have two ears, which receive slightly different versionsof any sound, and this helps us to tell the direction from which the sound is coming.This effect is obviously absent when we listen to recorded sounds all coming froma single loudspeaker or cabinet. To some extent this defect can be remedied if wemake two recordings simultaneously, with the two microphones placed one to theleft and one to the right of the performers, and play them through two loudspeakersystems similarly placed, giving a more realistic spread of sound. So the lastgeneration of gramophone records gave us stereophonic sound. It was possible toput both recordings on the one groove, and were played through two suitably placedloudspeaker systems.

Fortunately we are now at the bottom of the page, and there is no room toattempt an explanation of how two recordings can be put on one groove (!)

PRINCESS SALLY AND PRINCESS SELINA

Mr. and Mrs. Hedgehog and their two children had just wokenup, when they heard the Princesses and Sophie and their cousinscalling "Hello!" Syd and Tommy were over the moon to meet theircousins' friends. What fun to have some playmates! "What game shallwe play? Hide and seek? Find the thimble? Or just tiggy? What doyou all think? "Well," said Princess Sally, "it must be a short game, aswe shall have to get back home, or Mother will worry." "Yes," saidMrs. Hedgehog. "How about standing in a ring, spread out, and allwalk around one way. Then when I call out, we see who can touch thepussy in front. All together now. Go!" What a laugh! They all fellover and ended up in a heap, laughing and trying to untanglethemselves.

"Well," said Princess Selina, "I loved that. Shall we call it aday, and meet up again tomorrow after breakfast while the weather isgood to us?" "Hooray!" said Sophie. "See you all tomorrow", and thepussies ran home, while Mr. and Mrs. Hedgehog returned to their denuntil the next day. J. Scott
