Marker has been a manufacturer of alpine skiing alpine ski bindings since 1952. Founded by Hannes Marker, the company is known for pioneering releasable binding technology. Marker s first model, the Duplex was followed in 1953 by the Simplex toe binding which was a huge success in the 1950s. New models introduced in the 1980s were major competitors on the alpine racing circuit. Marker remained independent until the 1980s, since then the company ownership switched hands several times until becoming part of the K2 Sports group, which in turn was purchased by Jarden . History Early models Until the 1950s the ski industry had not split into different disciplines and used the cable binding for all purposes. The Kandahar style binding added clips to hold down the foot for downhill runs, and then released for cross country striding. These bindings had no release system, and could cause serious injuries during even the most minor falls.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Jewelled bookbindings were used in the Middle Ages to cover important books, especially liturgical and devotional works for the church and kings. The vast majority of these bookbinding s were later destroyed as their valuable gold and jewels were removed by looters, or the owners when in need of cash. Others survive without their jewels. Some still exist in major libraries for example the Morgan Library in New York , the John Rylands Library in Manchester , the British Library in London and the Biblioth que Nationale in Paris . In about 1905 the English binders Sangorski & Sutcliffe reinvented Jewelled Bindings, as part of the revival of English decorated bookbindings. These were not large uncut gems as in Medieval times but semi precious stones en cabochon set into beautifully designed bindings with multi coloured leather inlays and elaborate gilt tooling. The craftsmanship of these bindings was unsurpassable only their competitors Riviere produced work of similar quality. The most famous of these bindings The Great Omar on a large copy of Edward FitzGerald poet FitzGerald s Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam had over 1,000 jewels it went down with the RMS Titanic Titanic . The largest collection of these masterpieces was the Phoebe Boyle one over 100 jewelled bindings were sold in 1923.

orphan date November 2009 Queens Binder or Queen s Binder is the name given to a small group of English Bookbinding bookbinders active during the The Restoration Restoration period 1660 c.1700 , often called the Golden Age of English Bookbinding . Etymology The name derives from the fact that similar bookbindings were found in the libraries of both Catherine of Braganza and Mary of Modena . The term was first coined by G. D. Hobson in his book Bindings in Cambridge Libraries ref Hobson, G. D. Bindings in Cambridge Libraries . Cambridge University Press, 1929. ref and was a convenient term to refer to the characteristic drawer handle tools and volute s with pointill outlines rather than floral volutes much used by the other binders of the period. Subtypes H. M. Nixon subdivided the bindings into three groups, Queens Binder A, B, and C, due to the slight variations between them ref Nixon, H. M. English Restoration Bookbindings Samuel Mearne and His Contemporaries . British Museum Publication, 1974. ref . Queens Binder A is the most prolific of the three, but Queens Binder B is considered the finer artisan . Although the bookbinders have not all been definitively identified, there is strong grounds for considering Samuel Mearne Samuel & Charles Mearne , Roger Bartlett , and William Nott as being at least partially responsible.

Orphan date January 2011 Unreferenced date June 2007 Northwave is a manufacturer of snowboard and cycling equipment. Northwave was started by Gianni Piva in Montebelluna , Italy and is owned by the Piva family. History Shoes and boots The company first started out as a shoe manufacturer in the early 1980s, when they produced shoes for other companies. Then in the late 1980s when snowboarding was first starting to take form, Piva started to manufacture snowboard boots for other snowboard companies. After doing extensive R&D , he began to develop his own brand of boots . Acquisitions Piva bought the company name, Northwave, which originally stemmed from a wind surfing company in Hood River, Oregon , United States . In 1991 Northwave came out with its own line of snowboard boots. In the mid 1990s Northwave bought Drake bindings, which was an already established binding company. Drake bindings were very well designed and quality built, but had poor distribution.In the mid 1997 Drake bindings became part of Northwave but kept its original brand name. In 1998 Bakoda Design Logic snowboard accessories, was added to the company. Bakoda was originally started in the early 1990s by the Royes brothers in 1998. Northwave bought the company, leaving the brand with its originally established name. Snowboards and cycling shoes Gianni Piva had wanted to add snowboards to his company for many years, and after over 10 years of being in the snowboard industry, Northwave started up Venue snowboards. Due to the such high success in the action sports industry, Piva decided to develop cycling shoes . So, in the early to mid 1990s, Northwave cycling shoes started in production.
