Kit Carson - Kit Carson Christopher Houston Carson (December 24, 1809 - May 23, 1868), better known as Kit Carson, was an American frontiersman. He was born in Madison County, Kentucky. During his career throughout the desert Southwest, he was a trapper, guide, military scout, Indian agent, soldier (rising to the rank of brigadier general), and rancher. His renown initially came from guiding John C. Fremont on an expedition to map the western trails to the Pacific Ocean. Descriptions in Fremont's popular report of his expeditions made Kit Carson famous. He fought against the Mexicans in California in the 1840s, and played a part in the Civil War. When civil war erupted in April of 1861, Kit Carson resigned his post as federal Indian agent for Northern New Mexico.
Kit - Kit The kit is a stringed musical instrument. It is essentially a very small violin, designed to fit in a pocket. It was used by dance masters in Royal courts and other places of nobility up until around the 18th century. Occasionally, the rebec was used in the same way. The body of the instrument is very small, but it has a relatively long fingerboard in order to accommodate the player's hand. An alternative musical use of the word kit is as an abbreviation for drum kit. On Usenet, a kit is possibly from DEC Slang for a full software distribution, as opposed to a patch or upgrade. A source software distribution that has been packaged in such a way that it can (theoretically) be unpacked.

Kit Williams - Kit Williams Kit Williams is the author of Masquerade, a pictorial story book which contained clues to the find a genuine valuable golden hare buried by Williams, and witnessed by Bamber Gascoigne, "somewhere in Britain". Kit Williams said: "If I was to spend two years on the 16 paintings for Masquerade I wanted them to mean something. I recalled how, as a child, I had come across 'treasure hunts' in which the puzzles were not exciting nor the treasure worth finding. So I decided to make a real treasure, of gold, bury it in the ground and paint real puzzles to lead people to it. The key was to be Catherine of Aragon's cross at Ampthill, near Bedford, casting a shadow like the pointer of a.
Kitchener's Army - ask for an armistice, which came into force at 11 o'clock on the November 11 1918. Recruitment All six of the full armies were made up of volunteer recruits, which included the famous Pal's Battalions.

HTML Kit - HTML Kit HTML Kit is an HTML editor for Microsoft Windows. It falls into the class of HTML editors that emphasize editing HTML code directly (as opposed to WYSIWYG editors), although it does have built-in functionality for previewing code. A feature of HTML Kit is the ability to add plugins that extend the program's capabilities. Hundreds of free plugins are available for download via the program's web site (allowing each user to choose only the extra features he or she needs - the default installation of HTML Kit does include some plugins of obvious general utility, such as a library of code snippets and a HTML color picker). Many of the plugins are written by users of the program. As of 2003, HTML Kit is freeware, although.
First aid kit - First aid kit A first aid kit is a collection of supplies and equipment for use in giving first aid, particularly in an emergency. Most first aid kits contain bandages for controlling bleeding, personal protective equipment such as gloves and a barrier for performing rescue breathing and Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and sometimes instructions on how to perform first aid. Placement The American Red Cross recommends that all households have a first aid kit. Typically this is kept in the bathroom of the house. Sometimes the contents of a first aid kit are kept in a medicine cabinet, typically mounted above the sink with a mirrored finish. First aid kits should be placed in all vehicles with the size and nature of the kit in proportion to the vehicle's range.

This name now survives in the term traps case still given to a.

KIM-1 - short for Keyboard Input Monitor, was a small microcomputer kit produced by MOS Technologies starting in 1975. History MOS' first processor, the 6501, could be plugged into existing motherboards that used the Motorola 6800, allowing potential users (i.e. engineers and hobbyists) to get a development system up and running very easily using existing hardware. This enraged Motorola, who immediately sued, forcing MOS to pull the 6501 from the market. Changing the pin layout produced the "lawsuit-friendly" 6502. Otherwise identical to the 6501, it nevertheless had the disadvantage of having no machine in which new users could quickly start playing with the CPU. Chuck Peddle, leader of the 650x group at MOS, designed the KIM-1 in order to fill this need. While the machine was originally intended to be used by engineers,.
Kinescope - much of the TV industry moving to the West Coast in later years, kinescopes practically fell from use. In Britain the process is called telerecording. Its first major British use was the recording of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on June 2, 1953. Many live and videotaped British shows of the 1950s and 1960s were preserved this way, usually with optical soundtracks. A few of these are on 35mm film, but because of the expense 16mm was normally used. In the 1950s a home kinescope kit was introduced in Britain, allowing enthusiasts to make 16mm recordings of television programmes. The major drawback, apart from the short duration of a 16mm film magazine, was that a large opaque frame had to be placed in front of the TV set in order.
