Bristol Beaufighter TFX

The prototype flew on 17 July 1939 and the first production Beaufighters were delivered to the Royal Air Force in the following April. The type was the first high performance night fighter equipped with airborne interception radar and successfully operated against the German night raids in the winter of 1940-1941. Later the Beaufighter was introduced into Coastal Command as a strike fighter. Its original formidable gun armament was retained but rockets and torpedoes were added giving it an even greater fire power.

Not only did the Beaufighter operate with distinction in North West Europe but also a considerable reputation was earned in the Middle and Far East.

5562 Beaufighters had been produced by the time the last one was delivered in September 1945 and fifty-two operational Royal Air Force squadrons had been equipped with the type.

Beaufighter crews accounted for over half of the Luftwaffe bombers shot down during the Blitz.

 

Bristol Hercules Sleeve Valve Engine

The Beaufighter was powered by a pair of Bristol Hercules 14-cylinder, air-cooled, sleeve-valve, radial piston engines, 1,600 hp each. The Hercules was followed by the Centaurus, which also used sleeve valves.

How One Guy Buried a $300 Million Cable to Save 3 Milliseconds and Sold It Back to Wall Street by Austin Liu

A stupid little video short got me started, so I did a little calculating. The cable runs from Chicago to New York or New Jersey, depending on who's telling the story. It's 700 miles as the crow flies, but that route would have to go under Lake Michigan, so it probably wasn't completely straight. Light travels slower in fiber optic cables, about two-thirds of the speed in air. To save 3 milliseconds, the route would need to be 372 miles shorter than a commercially available route. However, fiber optic lines need repeaters every so often to boost the signal. With a good cable you would need a repeater about every 80 miles, so for a 800 mile cable you would need about 10 repeaters. Good repeaters don't slow the signal down much, but who knows what kind of repeaters you would get on a commercial line.

A little more digging turned up this story from 2010:
