System And Couch: Knight, 58, a self-defined car guy since age 12, designed the Garage to be practical as well as a place to relax. In addition to a mechanical lift and equipment that enables him to do all of his own repairs and maintenance, he also has a television, stereo system and couch.
QUILLER-COUCH, kwil'er-kooch', SIR Arthur Thomas (pen name Q), British author: b. Fowey, Cornwall, England, Nov. 21, 1863; d. there, May 12, 1944. He was educated at Oxford, where he was classical lecturer in 1886-1887 and won some success with his first novel, Dead Man's Rock (1887). In 1887 he began a literary career in London, where in 1889 he joined the staff of Sir Thomas Wemyss Reid's newly established Liberal weekly, the Speaker, with which he retained connection for 10 years. Several of his contributions to it appear in the collections of his short stories, Noughts and Crosses (1891) and The Delectable Duchy (1893). In 1898 he was given the commission to complete Robert Louis Stevenson's unfinished novel, St. Ives. Quiller-Couch was knighted in 1910 and in 1912 became professor of English literature at Cambridge. From 1891 he lived at Fowey and in 1937 served as its mayor.
Second, the type of heating system must be selected to match the calculated heat loss. For larger buildings, either a hydronic (hot-water or steam) system or a combination hydronic and air-handling system probably would be selected. For homes a forced warm-air or a forced hot-water system probably would be chosen, but in some cases the choice might be some form of electric heating system.
