Dupleix-class cruiser

The Dupleix class consisted of three armored cruisers built for the French Navy (Marine Nationale) at the beginning of the 20th century. Designed for overseas service and armed with eight 164.7-millimeter (6.5 in) guns, the three ships of the class were smaller and less powerfully armed than their predecessors.

Dupleix was initially assigned to the Atlantic Division (Division de l'Atlantique) as its flagship. Her sister ships were initially assigned to the Mediterranean Squadron (Escadre de la Méditerranée), although Desaix relieved Dupleix as flagship of the Atlantic Division in 1905. Dupleix was reduced to reserve from 1906 to 1909 before she was sent to the Far East in 1910 as the flagship of the ships there. Desaix and Kléber exchanged assignments in 1907, although the former ship returned to the Atlantic in 1908 before being placed in reserve from 1909 to 1914. Kléber was also placed in reserve in 1909, but she was reactivated two years later to join Dupleix in the Far East before returning home in 1913 to be placed in reserve again.

As tensions rose shortly before the beginning of World War I in August 1914, both Desaix and Kléber were reactivated. When the war began they were assigned to defend Allied shipping in the English Channel and intercept German ships attempting to pass through. At that time, Dupleix was still in the Far East. Before she was transferred to the Eastern Mediterranean in May 1915, the ship spent most of her time on escort duty in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Joined by Kléber that same month, they were two of the ships tasked to blockade the Aegean coast of Ottoman Turkey. Desaix was the first of the sisters to be transferred to the Mediterranean in February 1915 and spent the next year patrolling off the coast of the Ottoman Levant and in the central Mediterranean.

To help protect Allied shipping from German commerce raiders, the sisters were transferred to French West Africa for convoy escort duties in mid-1916 and remained there for the next year. Personnel shortages caused Kléber to be ordered home in mid-1917, but she struck a naval mine laid by a German submarine in June and sank; most of her crew was rescued by ships in the area. Dupleix followed her home in October and was placed in reserve. Desaix remained in West Africa for the rest of the war.


Dupleix-class cruiser

Dupleix was decommissioned in 1919 and Desaix was transferred to the Far East that same year. After the latter's return in 1921, she was also decommissioned. Dupleix was sold for scrap in 1922 and Desaix followed five years later.

Background

French cruiser policy during the decade from the mid-1880s was incoherent as three different factions of the navy fought amongst themselves in four forums, the Navy Ministry (Ministre de la Marine), the Budgetary Committee of the Chamber of Deputies (Chambre des députés), the Supreme Naval Council (Conseil supérieur de la Marine) that proposed shipbuilding programs and ship characteristics to the Navy Minister, and the Board of Construction (Conseil des travaux) that was responsible for evaluating ship designs. The partisans of the Jeune École (Young School) wanted fast, lightly armed ships for commerce raiding, the traditionalists who wanted cruisers to defend the colonies and the modernists that desired armored cruisers and small scout cruisers to operate with the battle fleet.

A traditionalist Navy Minister, Vice Admiral (Vice amiral) Armand Besnard, succeeded the liberal politician Édouard Lockroy in April 1896, after the latter had authorized construction of the very large armored cruiser Jeanne d'Arc in the 1896 budget proposal, despite opposition from the Conseil des travaux. After rejecting a repeat 8,000-metric-ton (7,874-long-ton) protected cruiser like D'Entrecasteaux in the 1896 budget, Lockroy and his allies in the Budget Committee were willing to accept smaller cruisers in the following year's budget. The Conseil des travaux rejected Besnard's proposal for a 5,700-metric-ton (5,610-long-ton) protected cruiser in late 1896,Jurien de la Gravière a few weeks later in the 1897 budget proposal anyway.


Dupleix-class cruiser

In the meantime, the Superior Naval Council had produced a new naval program that included an additional three each armored and protected cruisers for overseas service and five armored cruisers for service with the battle fleet. For the 1898 budget, Besnard proposed one battleship, two armored cruisers and two protected cruisers, but Lockroy and his allies, probably influenced by the ideas of Vice Admiral François Ernest Fournier, who believed that most cruiser tasks, including commerce raiding, would be better performed by armored cruisers smaller than Jeanne d'Arc, deleted the battleship and offered him 120 million francs for armored cruisers. Besnard initially proposed adding an enlarged version of Jeanne d'Arc, but this was rejected by the Conseil des travaux in early 1897. He countered with a revised program of three armored cruisers for overseas duties, which became the Dupleix class, and three Gueydon-class armored cruisers for the fleet. This satisfied the Superior Naval Council's objectives and all three factions as Fourier's ideas showed that armored cruisers could accomplish the Jeune École's preferred strategy of commerce raiding. It also neatly consumed the Budget Committee's 120 million francs as each of the Dupleixs cost about 19 million francs and the Gueydons 21 million francs.

Preliminary design work in December 1896 was for a 7,300-metric-ton (7,185-long-ton) ship armed with ten 164.7-millimeter (6.5 in) guns, two in single-gun turrets fore and aft of the superstructure and the remaining eight in casemates, protected by a 70-millimeter (2.8 in) waterline armor belt. The Conseil de travaux thought that the belt protection was too weak and that the ships needed more endurance. The naval architect Louis-Émile Bertin, recently appointed as the Director of Naval Construction (Directeur centrale des constructions navales), agreed and revised the design, sacrificing one pair of guns for more armor and additional coal, which increased its displacement. The Conseil accepted his revised design on 4 May 1897, although complaining about the deleted guns.


Dupleix-class cruiser

Dupleix was ordered from one of the naval dockyards on 18 December and orders for the other two followed on 28 December. Six months later, the Conseil proposed revising the armament, exchanging the single-gun turrets and the casemated guns for four twin-gun turrets, two replacing the turrets on the centerline and two wing turrets, one on each broadside, and adding four 100-millimeter (3.9 in) guns in casemates. By this time, preliminary work had already begun on Dupleix and Lockroy, recently returned to office, suggested suspending work on the ships while studies were done. Bertin opposed the changes, but produced drawings by early March 1899, despite the work load on his designers who were focused on other projects, and they were approved by the Minister on 6 April. The changes greatly retarded the progress on the two ships ordered from private dockyards, which had already been laid down in early 1899.

Design and description

The Dupleix-class ships were much smaller and more lightly armed than Jeanne d'Arc. They measured 132.1 meters (433 ft 5 in) long overallbeam of 17.8 meters (58 ft 5 in) and had a maximum draft of 7.46 meters (24 ft 6 in). The cruisers displaced 7,700 metric tons (7,578 long tons) as designed. To reduce biofouling, their hulls were sheathed in teak. The ships normally had a crew of 19 officers and 550 enlisted men, but accommodated 24 officers and 583 enlisted men when serving as flagships.


Dupleix-class cruiser

The ships' propulsion machinery consisted of three vertical triple-expansion steam engines, each driving a single propeller shaft, using steam provided by water-tube boilers, but the types of machinery differed between them. The first two ships, Dupleix and Desaix, had four-cylinder engines fed by 24 Belleville boilers with a working pressure of 20 kg/cm2 (1,961 kPa; 284 psi) while the last ship, Kléber, had three-cylinder engines that used 20 Niclausse boilers at 18 kg/cm2 (1,765 kPa; 256 psi). The engines of all three ships were designed to produce a total of 17,100 metric horsepower (12,600 kW) that was intended to give them a maximum speed of 21 knots (39 km/h; 24 mph). Despite exceeding their horsepower rating, only Kléber met or exceeded her designed speed during their sea trials, the ships attaining 20.6–21.5 knots (38.2–39.8 km/h; 23.7–24.7 mph) from 17,177–17,870 metric horsepower (12,634–13,143 kW). The sisters carried up to 1,200 metric tons (1,200 long tons; 1,300 short tons) of coal and could steam for 6,450 nautical miles (11,950 km; 7,420 mi) at a speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).

Armament

The ships of the Dupleix class had a main armament that consisted of eight quick-firing (QF) 45-caliber Canon de 164 mm Modèle 1893–96 guns. They were mounted in four twin-gun turrets, one each fore and aft of the superstructure and a pair of wing turrets amidships.54.9-kilogram (121 lb) shells at muzzle velocities ranging from 865 meters per second (2,840 ft/s). This gave them a range of about 10,800 meters (11,800 yd) at the turrets' maximum elevation of +15 degrees. Each gun was provided with 200 rounds, of which 44 shells were stowed in the turrets, which it could fire at a rate of three rounds per minute.


Dupleix-class cruiser

The cruisers' secondary armament consisted of four 45-caliber QF Canon de 100 mm Modèle de 1893 guns on single mounts in unprotected casemates in the hull. Their 16-kilogram (35 lb) shells were fired at muzzle velocities of 710 meters per second (2,300 ft/s) at a rate of six rounds per minute. At their maximum elevation of +20 degrees, the guns had a range of 9,000 meters (9,800 yd). The sisters carried 250 rounds for each gun. For defense against torpedo boats, they carried ten 47-millimeter (1.9 in) and four 37-millimeter (1.5 in) Hotchkiss guns, all of which were on single mounts.450-millimeter (17.7 in) torpedo tubes, one on each broadside.

Protection

The nickel steel armor belt of the Dupleix-class cruisers extended from 1.2 meters (3 ft 11 in) below the waterline to 1.995 meters (6 ft 7 in) above it18.9 meters (62 ft)bulkhead 84 millimeters (3.3 in) thick. The armor was 102 millimeters (4 in) thick, although it reduced to 84 mm in front of the forward turret and thinned to 38 millimeters (1.5 in) at its lower edge.

The curved protective deck had a total thickness of 42 millimeters (1.7 in) on the flat and 70 millimeters (2.8 in) on the upper part of the curved portion where it met the bottom edge of the belt armor. Behind the belt armor was a highly-subdivided watertight internal cofferdam. The face and sides of the gun turrets were protected by 110-millimeter (4.3 in) Harvey face-hardened armor plates, although their roofs were only 20 millimeters (0.79 in) thick. The armor plates of the gun barbettes was 120 millimeters (4.7 in) thick. The sides of the elliptical conning tower were 100 to 120 millimeters thick.

Service history

The first ship completed, Dupleix, was initially assigned to the Atlantic Division as its flagship. Her sisters were initially assigned to the Mediterranean Squadron's Light Squadron (Escadre légère), although Desaix relieved Dupleix as flagship of the Atlantic Division in 1905. In her turn Kléber relieved Desaix as flagship of the Atlantic Division in 1907. Desaix took Kléber's place in the Light Squadron. While visiting the United States later that year, the cruiser accidentally collided with and sank an American cargo ship and participated in the Jamestown Exposition, celebrating the tercentenary of the founding of Jamestown, Virginia. At the beginning of 1908, Kléber became flagship of the Moroccan Division (Division du Maroc).

The sisters all spent significant amounts of time before 1914 in reserve. Dupleix from 1906 to 1909, Desaix from 1909 to 1914 and Kléber in 1909–1910 and 1913–1914. Dupleix was reactivated in 1910 to serve as the flagship of the Far Eastern Division (Division navale de l'Extrême Orient) and was joined by Kléber in 1911–1912. Dupleix was replaced as flagship in 1913 by the larger and more spacious, albeit older, armored cruiser Montcalm.

World War I

After the French declaration of war on Imperial Germany in early August 1914, Dupleix was assigned to the British China Squadron and participated in the early stages of the blockade of the German-leased port of Qingdao. By late September, the ship was assigned to escort duties in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea. She was transferred to the newly formed Dardanelles Squadron (Escadre des Dardanelles) in May 1915, which was tasked to blockade the Aegean coast of Turkey. On the 26th, the cruiser was attacked by Ottoman coastal artillery at Bodrum while inspecting shipping, losing 27 men killed and 11 wounded.


Dupleix-class cruiser

Desaix and Kléber were reactivated in July 1914 and were assigned to the 3rd Light Division (3e Division légère (DL)) of the 2nd Light Squadron which was tasked to defend the English Channel in conjunction with the British. The division was on station in the western end of the Channel by 4 August, where their mission was to intercept German shipping and provide distant cover for the smaller ships escorting convoys in the Channel. Improved defenses in the Channel and the stabilization of the front in early 1915 allowed the cruisers to be released from their tasks, so Desaix was assigned to the 3rd Squadron upon her arrival in the Eastern Mediterranean on 16 February. The squadron was tasked to patrol the area between Port Said, Egypt, and Alexandretta, Ottoman Syria. The cruiser was detached in May to assist the 1st Naval Army (1re Armée Navale) in the Central Mediterranean with searching for German shipping near Italian ports. She rejoined the 3rd Squadron and was tasked to help blockade the Ottoman coast near the Turkish and Syrian border. In contrast to her sister, Kléber was transferred to the Dardanelles to support Allied forces in the Gallipoli Campaign in May where she joined the Dardanelles Squadron together with Dupleix and were assigned to blockade the coast of Asia Minor.Kléber collided with the Royal Australian Navy troopship HMT Boorara in the Aegean Sea on 17 July, damaging her bow.Kingdom of Bulgaria joined the Central Powers in mid-October, Kléber was one of the ship tasked to raid the Aegean coast of Bulgaria on 21 October.

The successes of German merchant raiders like Möwe in 1916 caused the Allies to transfer cruisers to the Atlantic to protect their shipping. The sisters were assigned to a newly-raised 6th Light Division in July 1916 that was based in Dakar, French West Africa, with Kléber as the division's flagship.patrol boats in 1917, the 6th DL was reduced to Dupleix and Desaix and renamed the Coast of Africa Division (Division navale de la côte d'Afrique) on 18 May; Contre-amiral (Rear Admiral) Louis Jaurès transferred his flag to Dupleix. En route to Brest, France, Kléber struck a mine and sank on 27 June that the German U-boat UC-61 had laid off the Iroise entrance to Brest. Nearby ships were able to rescue all but 38 of her crew.


Dupleix-class cruiser

The division was disbanded on 14 September and Dupleix sailed to Brest where she was placed in reserve on 15 October. Desaix remained at Dakar for the rest of the war, tasked to escort convoys in the South Atlantic. Dupleix was decommissioned on 1 May 1919 and stricken on 27 September from the Navy List. In 1920 Dupleix was towed to Landévennec and she was sold for scrap in 1922. Desaix returned to France after the war, but was assigned to the Far Eastern Division in 1919. Her service there was uneventful and the ship arrived back in France on 31 March 1921 after which she was decommissioned. Desaix was stricken from the Navy List on 27 July, but was not sold for scrap until 1927.

Chu–Harrington limit

In electrical engineering and telecommunications the Chu–Harrington limit or Chu limit sets a lower limit on the Q factor for a small radio antenna.Lan Jen Chu,Harold Wheeler,Roger F. Harrington.[{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{\pi }}\lambda }] (radius [{\displaystyle {\tfrac {\lambda }{2\pi }}}]) – a little smaller than 1⁄3 wavelength in its widest dimension. For a small antenna the Q is proportional to the reciprocal of the volume of a sphere that encloses it. In practice this means that there is a limit to the bandwidth of data that can be sent to and received from small antennas such as are used in mobile phones.

More specifically, Chu established the limit on Q for a lossless antenna as [{\displaystyle Q\geq {\frac {1}{k^{3}a^{3}}}+{\frac {1}{ka}}}] for a linear polarized antenna, where [a] is the radius of the smallest sphere containing the antenna and its current distribution and [k={\frac {2\pi }{\lambda }}] is the wavenumber. A circular polarized antenna can be half the size

As antennas are made smaller, the bandwidth shrinks and radiation resistance becomes smaller compared to loss resistances that may be present, thus reducing the radiation efficiency. For users this decreases the bitrate, limits range, and shortens battery life.

Method of proof

Chu expressed the electromagnetic field in terms of evanescent modes with a real component and non-propagating modes. The fields were expressed as a spherical harmonic series with the components being Legendre functions and spherical Bessel functions. The impedance could be expressed as a series of a ratio of a derivative of a Hankel function to other Hankel functions.

An equivalent circuit is a ladder line with the shunts (rungs) being inductors and the capacitors running in series (railings). The number of elements used in the mathematical series matches the number of capacitor-inductor pairs in the equivalent circuit.

Practical implications


Chu–Harrington limit

Practical implications

In practice an electrically small antenna is one that is operated at a frequency below its natural resonance.Q-factor that potentially limits the instantaneous bandwidth available for signals passing through the antenna. This is a fundamental limit that sets a minimum size for any antenna used at a given frequency and with a given required bandwidth.

The Chu limit gives the minimum Q, and by implication the maximum bandwidth, for an antenna of a given size on the assumption that it is lossless. However, any antenna can be made to show a larger bandwidth than suggested by the Chu limit if there is additional resistance present to reduce the Q, and this has led to claims for antennas that have breached the limit, but none has so far been substantiated.

Designs close to the limit

  * The Goubau antenna from 1976 has a size ratio of 1 and bandwidth of 80%. Q is 1.5 times the limit.
  * The Foltz drawing pin like antenna from 1998 size 0.62 and 22% bandwidth.
  * The Rogers cone from 2001 is size 0.65 and right on the limit.
  * Lina and Choo planar spirals in size ratios range from 0.2 to 0.5
  * The fractal Koch curve antenna approaches the limit.
  * A meander line antenna optimizes the size for narrower bandwidths of the order 10%.
  * Underhill and Harper claim that an electrically small loop antenna can violate the Chu limit

Irina Spîrlea

Irina Spîrlea (born 26 March 1974) is a retired tennis player from Romania who turned professional in 1990. She won four singles and six doubles titles. Spîrlea reached her career-high ranking on the WTA Tour on 13 October 1997, when she became No. 7 in the world. She retired in 2000.

Personal life

Spîrlea married Massimiliano Pace, her former coach, in 2001, and has a son, Tommaso, born in 2002, as well as a younger daughter, Francesca.

Career

Irina Spîrlea is one of the more successful tennis players from Romania, being one of only three women to have reached the top 10 (the others being Virginia Ruzici and Simona Halep.)

In 1996, Spîrlea became the first player in the history of the Women's Tennis Association to receive a match default for conduct when she swore at an official in Italian during a match played in Palermo, Italy.

Spîrlea was involved in a bumping incident with Venus Williams during a changeover in the semifinals of the 1997 US Open. Spîrlea collided with Williams near the net post while changing ends, and did not move sideways. Spîrlea went on to lose the match 6–7, 6–4, 6–7 in a third-set tiebreak, after holding two match points, at 6–4 and 6–5 in the tie breaker. Williams' father accused Spîrlea of racism, and later called her "an ugly white turkey".1998 Australian Open, Spîrlea was the first opponent of Venus' sister, Serena Williams in the main draw and lost in three sets.

Cold Spring is a house near Shepherdstown, West Virginia, childhood home to two United States Representatives. The house was built by Edward Lucas III and his son, Robert in 1793.

Several of Robert and Sarah Rion Lucas' children were notable. Edward Lucas V served as a lieutenant in the War of 1812, then was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1819, 130 and 1831. From 1833 to 1837 he was a US Congressman. Following his political career he was the superintendent of the Harpers Ferry Armory.

William Lucas became a lawyer. In 1838 he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates, and in 1839 he was elected to Congress. In 1836 he built Rion Hall near Halltown, West Virginia.

A third brother, Robert, inherited Cold Spring, leaving it to his nephew, Daniel Bedinger Lucas in 1880.

Description

The two-story house is built over a raised basement in coursed rough stone masonry. The double-pile center-hall plan is five bays wide. The upstairs hall is wider at the stairs than at the front or downstairs, allowing the hall to take up less of the plan that it would if the hall was as wide as the stairs. The basement kitchen has its own entrance. A stone porch and stairs were added in the nineteenth century.

Cold River Bridge (Clarendon, Vermont)

The Cold River Bridge was a historic bridge that carried Vermont Route 7B (VT 7B) across the Cold River in Clarendon, Vermont. The bridge, a steel Parker through truss, was built by the American Bridge Company in 1928, and was one of many bridges built in the state in the wake of devastating 1927 floods. It carried U.S. Route 7 (US 7) until bypassed by a bridge to the east, and was closed in 1989. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

Description and history

The Cold River flows westward across northern Clarendon, en route to its confluence with Otter Creek. The Cold River Bridge carried VT 7B, a former alignment of US 7, across the river, a short way south of VT 7B's northern junction with US 7. It was about 150 feet (46 m) in length, with a deck 24.5 feet (7.5 m) wide, and rested on poured concrete abutments. Its trusses consisted of rolled steel I-beams, fastened together by rivets. It had a portal clearance of just under 15 feet (4.6 m). It had a concrete deck on steel stringers.

The bridge was built in 1928, part of a state program that constructed about 1,600 bridges between the 1927 floods and 1930. This bridge's trusses were built by the American Bridge Company, then the nation's leading maker of steel bridge trusses. It used construction materials and methods standardized by the state to improve the efficiency and speed at which bridges could be built. This bridge carried US 7, western Vermont's major north–south transportation artery, until it was bypassed by a four-lane bridge to the east.

Reception

In an interview with The Huffington Post, Clarke expressed that his idea for the web series came after he had a conversation with his daughter and realized that if she were bigger or an adult, the things that she stated would more than likely be unacceptable to say.Daily Dot,

Convos with My 2 Year Old became a success with nearly 800,000 subscribers. However it is difficult to pinpoint exactly when it became popular as the owner of the Convos with 2-Year-Old channel has disabled viewers from seeing the stats of the first few episodes. The series has a majority of YouTube "Likes" rather than "Dislikes" and all have more than 44,000 views each. The first episode of the series has more than 12,000,000 views and is the most-viewed out of the series. It is difficult to come across negatives about series because the YouTube channel deletes any negative comments on any of the videos and most articles are positive towards the series.

The series has no definite type of viewer, but it can be observed to be favored by an audience of parents with families. Many articles about the web series are under the "Family" and "Parents" category.

Little Gransden Airfield

Little Gransden Airfield (ICAO: EGMJ) is an unlicensed airfield located near the village of Little Gransden, 5 NM (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) southeast of St Neots, Cambridgeshire, England.

Little Gransden Airfield is located in the grounds of Fuller's Hill Farm. It is also the home of Yak UK Ltd., who import, service and sell the Yakovlev range of piston engined aerobatic aircraft.

Location

Pilots climbing out on runway 28 will be able to see the disused runways of RAF Tempsford on the left side just before the railway. RAF Tempsford was a secret airfield operated by the Special Operations Executive during World War II. Nearby are other former RAF airfields: Gransden Lodge Airfield, now home to the Cambridge Gliding Club; and Bourn.

Events

Each summer the airfield is home to Little Gransden Families Day Out Air & Vintage Vehicle Show which raises money for the Children in Need charity. The 2012 show, the 20th annual event, took place on 26 August, raising over £26000. In 2013, the show will be held on 25 August.

Planning controversy

In 1992 South Cambridgeshire District Council served a planning contravention notice on the airfield, which had been operating since 1966. The council was supported by a local pressure group Cambridgeshire Airfields Action Group (CAAG). In 1995 the council served a planning enforcement notice. The airfield, supported by planning consultant Peter Kember and some of some local villagers, argued at a public enquiry that they were operating lawfully based on 10 years' continuous use.planning appeal succeeded in 1999 and the airfield was allowed to continue operating. Furthermore, in 2002 Peter Kember succeeded in challenging South Cambridgeshire District Council's Small Airfields Policy which attempted to put further restrictions on Little Gransden and other airfields in the area.

Irish lace

Sample of Irish Lace in Carrickmacross lace style

Irish lace has always been an important part of the Irish needlework tradition. Both needlepoint and bobbin laces were made in Ireland before the middle of the eighteenth century, but never, apparently, on a commercial scale. It was promoted by Irish aristocrats such as Lady Arabella Denny, the famous philanthropist, who used social and political connections to support the new industry and promote the sale of Irish lace abroad. Lady Denny, working in connection with the Dublin Society, introduced lace-making into the Dublin workhouses, especially among the children there.Gros Point lace.

History

The skill of lacemaking soon spread beyond Dublin to the poorest parts of the country; it proved a popular means for young women to help support their families. Lace-making required little equipment beyond bobbins and fine cotton or linen thread, and a great deal of patience, so was suitable for remote parts of the country that had little industry and few employment options.

The lace, worn by the wealthiest women across Europe, was made by some of the poorest women in Ireland. Lace was a luxury commodity, used to decorate elaborate wedding dresses, christening robes, and church vestments; it played a vital part in saving many families from starvation and destitution. Irish lace reflects the social and political changes that took place between 1700 and the present.

Several lacemaking schools were established throughout Ireland, with some regions acquiring reputations for high-quality products. Different parts of the country produced distinctive types of lace, and discerning customers would soon learn to ask for Carrickmacross lace (County Monaghan) or Kenmare lace (County Kerry), and Youghal lace (County Cork) among others, depending upon their favoured style. Limerick lace (also known as Tambour lace, because of its manner of manufacture) became well known from the 1830s onwards. Also, see 'Headford Lace Project' for details of Headford (Galway) bobbin lace from around 1765 to 1900.
