sport

Sport was an American sports magazine. Launched in September 1946 by New York-based publisher Macfadden Publications, Sport pioneered the generous use of color photography – it carried eight full-color plates in its first edition.
Sport predated the launch of Sports Illustrated by eight years, and is remembered for bringing several editorial innovations to the genre, as well as creating, in 1948, the Sport Magazine Award, given initially to the outstanding player in 11 major sports. In 1955 the magazine instituted an award honoring the outstanding player in baseball's World Series (Johnny Podres of the Brooklyn Dodgers was the inaugural winner); it was later expanded to include the pre-eminent post-season performers in the other three major North American team sports. What made Sport the most distinctive from Sports Illustrated, however, was that it was a monthly magazine as opposed to SI's weekly distribution.
Sport was published continually between its launch and August 2000, when its then-owner, British publisher EMAP PLC, made the decision to close the money-losing title. As of 2016, the photo archive of Sport, which represents one of the most significant collections of 20th-century sports photography in North America, is housed in Canada in Toronto, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia at The Sport Gallery.

    Mira Sport Shower

    I'm off tomorrow morning to look at a Mira Sport that apparently produces hot water for a few minutes and then goes cold. I'm trying to think what could cause this fault while also looking at the schematic for the shower. I'm thinking it's either the flow valve or the thermal switch that's at...
