Cranchi
CranchiAuthor: Simon WhiteAll Cranchi projects begin in the Research Study Centre - the heart of the company with more than 30 technicians, designers, engineers and modellists working towards perfection. This team work within 4 departments: the Research Study Centre, the Style Centre, the Prototypes Department and the Laboratory. The mission of all four departments is the same: the combination of high performance levels with design, ergonomics, form and function.How it all began - In 1866, Giovanni Cranchi opened his first workshop on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. In 1932, the founder's grandson, also named Giovanni, purchased a shipyard in Brienno. The 1960s saw the Brienno boat yard producing a series of wooden models and a number of sailing vessels. With the introduction of new materials, such as fibreglass, Aldo Cranchi transformed traditional boat production into a more modern industry.Thanks to craftsmen like Aldo, the concept of design began to evolve. In 1970, a century after the Brienno boat yard was opened, Aldo Cranchi decided to expand his empire and moved to nearby Valtellina ? a larger area in which to base his developments. From that time, the management structure at Cranchi remains unchanged.1972 saw the launch of the Pilotina. In just under 6 years, more than 1,550 of this model were produced. It was just a year later that the company decided to tackle the world of sailing boats with the Scout.

Using GPS For NTP Server Time SynchronisationUsing GPS For NTP Server Time SynchronisationAuthor: David EvansThe GPS system is a satellite navigation system operated by the US Department of Defence. It essentially provides a subscription-free civilian timing and navigation service. GPS is primarily intended as a highly accurate global positioning and navigation reference. However, a by-product of accurate positioning is that each orbiting satellite also has an integrated highly precise atomic clock unit synchronised by the US Naval Observatory (USNO). It is therefore ideal for providing a high accuracy time reference for computer timing systems, such as NTP. |
