Tonight's bedtime reading is A treatise on the theory of screws. Or perhaps the earlier work Theory of screws: a study in the dynamics of a rigid body

My favourite Robert Stawell Ball article is "Further development of the relations between impulsive screws and instantaneous screws..."

Carol Maddock said:
But all joking about impulsive screws aside, Ball was a fascinating man, and we're very lucky to have his photos at Library Towers:
Ball was a very talented amateur photographer. His membership until 1911 of the Commissioners of Irish Lights inspection committee that circumnavigated the Irish coast each year gave him the opportunity to capture many splendid images, not only of lighthouses and other navigational facilities, but also of everyday life in the more remote coastal areas. Many of these photographs are held in the National Photographic Archive (NLI).

More detailed history here - www.irishlights.ie/tourism/our-lighthouses/haulbowline.aspx "...From 1824 until 1922 the Keepers and their families lived in the Cranfield Point Lighthouse dwelling. New dwellings were built at Greencastle in 1922 and subsequently sold after the light was automated. ..."
