- A climbing technique used to reduce tension in arms while holding a side grip.
- A typeface style with slab or square serifs, these lack contrast (i.e. in a serif face, thick serifs and stems that are normally thin are fat). also known as ‘western’ faces as they are reminiscent of the old american west. they are sometimes made up of human forms and floral figures, and are one of the oldest reminders of the craftsmanship of the 19th century, before the arrival of modern journalism and printing techniques. still with us today, some of these faces are so bold and condensed that they hardly have any white space between the letters.

Dispersed in a desert-bound strip along the banks of the mighty river nile, egyptians took naturally to the water and were among the first serious shipwrights. nile winds are so constant that the hieroglyph for northbound movement (even on land) was a boat under sail, while that for southbound travel was one under oars. bundles of papyrus stalks lashed together were their earliest form of transport. these were cheap and easily manufactured, but had short service lives. during the predynastic period, around 3000 bce, larger reed boats were characterized by sharply-upturned bows and sterns, the classical egyptian hull shape for centuries to come. they were propelled by paddles or a rectangular sail, and equipped with one or two large steering oars. by the old kingdom (2575–2134 bce), wood was the preferred construction material, retaining the traditional upward angling above the water line at both ends. the nile is a tranquil river, even in spate, so shipwrights did not have to provide the rigidity needed to cope with storms or ocean waves. dispensing with ribs, keel, and planking, they pegged together thick blocks of acacia wood, with a few athwartship beams. as late as the fifth century bce, the historian herodotus reported that egyptian trading craft were “assembled as though building a brick wall.” in the absence of a keel to support the butt of a mast, bi-pod spars were stepped from the side walls of the hull in an inverted “v.” these could easily be unstepped for changes of propulsion between oars and sail. depending on the size of ship, from one to six easting 106 large steering oars were controlled by helmsmen standing on the high stern. this design proved so effective that it remained essentially unchanged through the thousand years of the middle and new kingdoms (2040–1070 bce). with minor modifications, it was applied to a wide range of river craft from small skiffs to much larger vessels. in the early 1950s, a dismantled river boat—probably first used to transport the corpse of pharaoh khufu (cheops) to its place of purification and embalmment, and then stored ready for his voyage to the afterworld—was discovered close to the face of the large pyramid at giza (see khufu ship). this vessel, which dates to 2528 bce or thereabouts, has now been reassembled. it is 43.6 metres (143 ft) long with a displacement of about forty tonnes (39 long tons). egyptians of this period must also have constructed special load-carrying river barges for the transportation of obelisks and immense pyramid building blocks. the successful river design lacked the rigidity needed by seagoing vessels, but a model found in pharaoh sahure’s mortuary temple shows that egyptian naval architects had contrived ingenious methods of preparing vessels for service in open waters. as a substitute for ribs, they provided athwartships support by girdling the entire vessel with a pair of ropes, pulled taut by a third rope zig-zagged between them. then, in the absence of a keel, they provided foreand- aft support by running a huge hawser, known as a “hogging truss,” over a series of props from bow to stern, tightening it with a pole, like a tourniquet. the sophistication of this design indicates a long period of previous maritime activity. sahure’s ships, which lacked the sharply-angled bow and stern typical of nile boats, must have been fast and reasonably seaworthy, but could never have been as reliable as keeled vessels. eight up!: when signal flag number 8 is hoisted it means “enemy in sight.” hence, “eight up!” whispered by an rn signalman warns that a senior officer is approaching.
