| | | | | Hercules: Encyclopedia II - Hercules constellation - Mythology Hercules (Roman, Herakles in Greek mythology) was the demigod son of Zeus and Alcmene. He was, arguably, the greatest of the mythical Greek heroes, best known for his superhuman strength. Many stories are told of his life, including the story of The Twelve Labours.
However, such visualisation was much later, as some parts require quite faint stars to be included, including those which have Flamsteed numbers but not Bayer designations. Earlier views of the constellation held it to be various things, predominantly a stag. Together with ...

C-130 Hercules - Origin of the Design.
The Korean War, which began in June, 1950, showed that World War II-era transports — C-119 Flying Boxcars, C-47 Skytrains and C-46 Commandos — were inadequate for modern warfare. Thus, on February 2, 1951, the United States Air Force issued a General Operating Requirement (GOR) for a new transport to Boeing, Douglas, Fairchild, and Lockheed. The new transport, among other things, would have a capacity for 92 passengers or 64 paratroopers, a range of 1,100 nautical miles, takeoff capability from short and unprepared strips, a ...

| | | | | | Hercules: Encyclopedia II - Hercules Linton - Scott and Linton – Shipbuilders In May 1868, Linton entered into a partnership with William Dundas Scott to form the firm of Scott & Linton, shipbuilders.
Approximately £600 of the £1200 capital to set up the business was provided by Scott’s father. The rest was a borrowing against Linton’s life insurance policy and some cash. As Scott sourced more than 50% of the capital, this may explain why the business was called Scott & Linton rather than Linton & Scott! Hercules Linton managed the design and shipbuilding and William Scott managed the counting house and engineering.
