The Cabot family was part of the Boston Brahmin known as the "first families of Boston". The Boston Brahmin Cabot family descended from John Cabot, who emigrated from his birthplace to Salem, Massachusetts in 1700; the Cabot family emigrated from Jersey, where the family name can be traced back to at least 1274. In Jersey, historian the Rev George Balleine records that the Cabot is a small fish that seems all head. John Cabot and his son, Joseph Cabot, became successful merchants, operating a fleet of privateers carrying opium and slaves. Shipping during the eighteenth century was the lifeblood of most of Boston's first families. Joseph's sons, Joseph Cabot Jr. George Cabot, Samuel Cabot, left Harvard to work their way through shipping, furthering the family fortune and becoming extraordinarily wealthy. Two of the earliest U. S. Supreme Court cases, Bingham v. Cabot and Bingham v. Cabot, involved family shipping disputes. In 1784, Samuel Cabot relocated to Boston. George Cabot and his descendants went into politics.

George Cabot became a U. S. Senator from Massachusetts, was appointed but declined to be first Secretary of the Navy, his great-grandson, Henry Cabot Lodge was a U. S. Senator from Massachusetts from 1893 until his death in 1924. In the 1916 election, Henry Cabot Lodge defeated John F. Fitzgerald, former mayor of Boston and the maternal grandfather of John and Edward Kennedy. George's great-great-great grandson, Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. was U. S. Senator from Massachusetts from 1937 to 1943 and from 1946 to 1953, when he lost to John F. Kennedy in the 1952 Senate election. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. went on to be the U. S. Ambassador to United Nations under President Eisenhower and ambassador to South Vietnam under President Kennedy, he was 1960 vice presidential candidate for Richard Nixon against Kennedy–Lyndon B. Johnson. George's other great-great-great grandson, John Davis Lodge was the 64th Governor of Connecticut. George's great-great-great-great grandson, George Cabot Lodge II ran against the successful Edward M. Kennedy in the United States Senate special election in Massachusetts, 1962.

From John Cabot's grandson, Samuel Cabot's side, Samuel Cabot Jr. furthered the family fortune by combining the first family staples of working in shipping and marrying money. In 1812, he married daughter of merchant king Colonel Thomas Perkins. Samuel Cabot III was an eminent surgeon, whose daughter, Lilla Cabot Perry, was a noted Impressionist artist, son, Godfrey Lowell Cabot founded Cabot Corporation, the largest carbon black producer in the country, used for inks and paints. Godfrey's son, John Moors Cabot, a great-great-grandson of Samuel, was a U. S. Ambassador to Sweden, Colombia and Poland during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administration. Another great-great grandson, Paul Codman Cabot, was cofounder of America's first mutual fund and "Harvard's Midas." The known "Boston Toast" by Holy Cross alumnus John Collins Bossidy features the Cabot family: In 1923, Harry H. Kabotchnik and his wife Myrtle petitioned to have his family name changed to Cabot; some prominent Cabots of Boston along with the Pennsylvania branch of the Order of Founder and Patriots, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania counter-sued to prevent the change.

Judge Charles Young Audenried ruled for the Kabotchniks, as there was "nothing in the law to prevent it." John Cabot - successful ship merchant Elizabeth Cabot, married Stephen H.

Bishop P. Solomon was the third Bishop-in-Dornakal Diocese of the Church of South India who succeeded A. B. Elliott. Since Solomon chose the vocation of Priesthood, he maintained celibacy and served the Church throughout his life. Solomon had his spiritual formation at the United Theological College, Bangalore where he studied from 1936-1940 for the graduate course leading to Bachelor of Divinity awarded by the Senate of Serampore College, India's first with degree-granting authority validated by a Danish Charter and ratified by the Government of West Bengal. After Solomon's return from Bangalore, he was ordained in 1947 by Frank Whittaker in Medak. In 1956 Solomon was a missionary to the British Isles. Rajaiah David Paul writes. Solomon was consecrated on 27 November 1956 as the third Bishop-in-Dornakal by H. Sumitra, Moderator and J. E. L.

The American Petroleum Institute has 500 technical standards for processes and components. “Pumps - Shaft Sealing Systems for Centrifugal and Rotary Pumps” is the standard about end face mechanical seals. The purpose of API 682 is to assist in the selection and operation of end face mechanical seals in centrifugal pumps, it is based on the combined knowledge and experience of seal manufacturers, engineering companies and end users. API 682 is intended for use in the petroleum, natural gas and chemical industries but is referenced for other types of equipment and industries. By the late 1980s, mechanical seals had been accepted as the preferred method for sealing rotating pumps for many years. However, mechanical seal standards were buried in other standards such as DIN 24960, ANSI B73 and API 610. All of these standards were pump standards and any references to seals were directed at how mechanical seals would interact with pumps. API 610 is the API standard about centrifugal pumps and is intended for use in the petroleum, natural gas and chemical industries.

Although the 1st through 7th Editions of API 610 included specifications for mechanical seals, beginning with the 8th Edition, API 610 defers to API 682 for seal specifications. In the late 1980s a group of refinery equipment engineers and managers began to compare sealing solutions in refinery applications; this group, led by V. R. Dodd of Chevron, came up with a general plan and the American Petroleum Institute agreed to establish a standard for mechanical seals: API 682. A Task Force was formed in 1990 and the first meeting was held in January 1991; this Task Force was composed of fourteen members from various refineries and pump manufacturers. API 682, First Edition, was published in October 1994. One interesting aspect of API 682 is; that is, unless the user indicates otherwise, API 682 makes default choices for specifics such as: Seal type Rotating or stationary Seal arrangement Seal configuration/orientation Materials Piping plan … many others. Some statements within API 682 are normative, that is, whereas others are informative, that is, descriptive but not required.

In particular, many of the illustrations are informative. This distinction has not always been apparent to the reader. Subsequent editions of API 682 have been published; the current edition is 4th Edition. The first edition of API 682 was new although parts of it were extracted from the pump standard API 610 and existing API standard paragraphs; the mission statement for the 1st Edition was: This standard is designed to default to the equipment types most supplied that have a high probability of meeting the objective of at least three years of uninterrupted service while complying with emissions regulations. Although this mission statement no longer appears in the standard, it remains the basic principle driving the work of the API 682 Task Force and its relevance remains the same for the 4th Edition as it did for the 1st. In addition to providing requirements for mechanical seals, the 1st Edition of API 682 provided a guide on how to select the correct seal for a number of common refinery applications.

In order to provide this seal selection guide, it was necessary to categorize applications into a number of services: Non-hydrocarbon water sour water caustics/amines acids Non-flashing hydrocarbon Flashing hydrocarbon. It was necessary to categorize the many different type seals that were used in these services. Three seal types were designated: Type A – O-ring pusher Type B – O-ring metal bellows Type C – flexible gasket metal bellows. Prior to API 682, 1st Edition, multiple seals were designated as being either “tandem” or “double” seals; as a result, there was some confusion on. The task force decided to use a more descriptive designation and chose to define dual seal arrangements. A dual seal would be two sets of sealing faces used in the same seal chamber; the fluid between these two sets of sealing faces could be either unpressurized. Three standard arrangements were defined: Arrangement 1 is a single seal Arrangement 2 is a dual unpressurized seal Arrangement 3 is a dual pressurized seal.

API 682 1st Edition did not include dry gas barrier seals. After having defined the services, seal types, seal arrangements, a series of flowcharts were created to help in selecting a seal type, special materials or design requirements, supporting piping plans. API 682 seals were to have a high probability of three years of reliable service. In order to prove this, seal performance testing on process fluids under representative pressures and temperatures was required; these performance tests are called “Qualification Tests”. The general idea of the qualification test was to prove; the goal of the qualification test was to simulate a long-term steady state run followed by a process upset. The simulated process upset consisted of pressure changes, temperature changes and included loss of flush; the results of these tests were made available to the purchaser for evaluation. There was no acceptance criteria presented in API 682 1st Edition. In addition to the qualification test of the design, every API 682 seal, whether new or repaired, is to be pressure tested with air before being shipped to the end user.

One of the major criticisms of API 682 1st Edition was that all the seals were “heavy duty” and therefore expensive with no alternatives for easy services. To some degree, this was intentional and was done in order to reduce inventory, promote familiarity with a limited numbe
