The V-3 cannon, a World War II German artillery piece, had a maximum firing range of approximately 165 km (103 miles). Project Babylon, a supergun project commissioned by Iraq, was expected to have a range of up to 1000 kilometers (about 625 miles). Considering the distance between Canada and New York City, which is greater than the range of both the V-3 and Project Babylon, neither weapon would have been able to strike New York City from Canada in the 1900-1910 timeframe. In the context of "Murdoch Mysteries," the V-3 or Project Babylon would likely be more realistic than Pendrick's rocket due to their actual development and historical use, although they postdate the series' setting. Advances in explosives, materials sciences, and engineering all contributed to the increased range of these artillery pieces compared to earlier models. As for the Iranian indigenous fighter program, speculation suggests that Iran may base its heavyweight fighter on the F-14 due to its existing fleet and the development of an advanced industrial base for servicing the F-14, including over 300 modifications to the design. OFA-1 typically stands for Occupational First Aid Level 1, a certification level for first aid attendants in various industries. The average operating speed of modern passenger trains for intercity travel can vary widely, with some high-speed intercity passenger trains capable of reaching speeds up to 300 mph (483 kph), while others, particularly in corridors with frequent stops or lower infrastructure standards, may have lower average speeds.
The Samnites were a confederation of tribes who lived in the mountainous region of central and southern Italy, known as Samnium. They spoke an Oscan language and were closely related to the Campanians, who had migrated from Samnium to the fertile plains of Campania. The Samnites were fierce warriors who often clashed with their neighbours, especially the Romans, who sought to expand their territory and influence in Italy. The Samnites and the Romans fought three wars between 343 and 290 BC, which are known as the Samnite Wars. The first war started when the Campanians asked Rome for protection against a Samnite attack. The Romans agreed and sent an embassy to the Samnites, demanding that they leave Campania alone. The Samnites refused and the war began. The war ended in 341 BC with a peace treaty that restored the status quo, but gave Rome control of Campania. The second war, also called the Great Samnite War, broke out in 326 BC when Rome tried to colonize Fregellae, a town on th...
