His parents were Germans who had emigrated only a few years before his birth. ref Samuel Smiles , Industrial Biography 1879 , p 103 ref Huntsman started business as a clock, lock and tool maker in Doncaster . His reputation enabled him to also practice surgery in an experimental fashion and was also consulted as an oculist . Huntsman experimented in steel manufacture, first at Doncaster. Then in 1740 he moved to Handsworth, South Yorkshire Handsworth , near Sheffield. Eventually, after many experiments, Huntsman was able to make satisfactory cast steel, in clay pots or crucibles holding about 34 pounds of blistered steel each. A flux was added and they were covered and heated by means of coke for about three hours. The molten steel is then poured into moulds and the crucibles reused. The local cutlery manufacturers refused to buy it as it was harder than the German steel they were accustomed to using. For a long time Huntsman exported his whole output to France . The growing competition of imported French cutlery made from Huntsman s cast steel alarmed the Sheffield cutlers, who, after trying to get the export of the steel prohibited by the British government, were compelled in self defence to use it. Huntsman had not patented his process, and his secret was discovered by a Sheffield iron founder called Walker. Walker according to a popular story got into Huntsman s works in the disguise of a starving beggar asking to sleep by a fire for the night. ref DNB Cite wstitle Huntsman, Benjamin ref In 1770, he moved his enterprise to Attercliffe where he prospered for another six years.

Creepback or Creep back is the tendency of bomber aircraft using optical bombsight s to release their weapons aimed at target markers before time, leading to a gradual spread backwards along the bombing path of the concentration of bombing. It was a particularly noted phenomenon of the Royal Air Force s RAF Bomber Command Bomber Command night attacks during World War II . The most dangerous time of a bombing raid in World War II was during the bombing run, the approach to the target. The bomber pilot was required to hold the aircraft straight and level, unable to take evasive action in the face of fierce enemy Anti aircraft air defences over the target, including searchlight s, night fighter s and anti aircraft fire. The temptation was strong for the bomber crew to flinch and release their bombs slightly before reaching the target indicator flares that marked the aiming point. The fires started by the short bombs tended to be used as an aiming point by subsequent crews, who in turn also dropped their bomb loads slightly short. The result was that the bombing inevitably crept back along the line of the bomb run. ref Middlebrook, p99 ref The problem was further exacerbated by the need to re mark the target with flares as the original markers were extinguished or hidden by smoke and flame. The marker aircraft were also susceptible to Creepback, which accelerated the effect on subsequent waves of bombers. The RAF could find no effective counter to the problem of Creepback, and eventually incorporated it into their mission planning. ref Middlebrook, p100 ref The initial aiming point for a bombing raid would be set on the far side of the target as the bomber stream approached, allowing the bombing pattern to creep back across the target, which was usually an industrial or residential district of a city. Creepback may not have been so pronounced during American day bombing raids, because the large, tightly packed American bomber formations dropped their bombs together when ... more details
Unreferenced date December 2009 A magazine release is the control on a firearm that retains a weapon s magazine firearms magazine . Types Pistol Heel or in the US European magazine release is located at the butt of the pistol grip and is commonly a simple catch as on the Makarov PM Makarov or Walther P 38 . This has the advantages of being both ambidextrous and resistant to inadvertent release. Its primary disadvantages are a slower reload in good conditions and often the requirement for greater force to activate compared to the other systems. The thumb release located at the junction of the trigger guard and pistol grip as typified by that on the M1911 Colt pistol Colt M1911A1 or Browning Hi Power Browning HP is common on American designed pistols although neither uncommon on European pistols nor originated in the US. In fact the earliest commercially successful semi automatic pistol, the Borchardt C 93, featured a thumb release, as well as its successor the Luger and countless other European pistols and those for the American market. It has the advantage of speed in reloading while compromising some on the risk of accidentally dropping the magazine and the requirement to have either comparatively long thumbs or changing the hold on the weapon to actuate it. A variant of the thumb release is the use of a lever , often ambidextrous, in lieu of a button as found on the Ruger P series Ruger P series pistols , HK USP , and Walther P99 . This allows the use of either thumb or the use of a finger to activate the release mitigating the disadvantages of the Browning design. A less common design is a button along the lower edge of the pistol grip like the Uzi submachine gun Variants Micro Uzi Pistol or the early models of the Beretta 92 and Beretta 93R . These are intended to be activated by the left thumb and are usually intended for the use of magazines that extend below the base of the grip.
