This graphite pencil drawing of the Great Nebula in Orion was made by John Frederick William Herschel (1792-1871) while on a trip to South Africa in 1835. Herschel was able to draw the nebula with the aid of a 20 feet reflector telescope at 'Feldhausen' in the Cape of Good Hope. The drawing is probably one that is referred to in his diary entry for the date, Sunday 4 January 1835.

Graphite brick, one of ten graphite components manufactured by Southern Graphite Services (SGS) in 1982 for a life-size simulation of the core of an Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor. These consist of three types core bricks, three sorts of connecting piece, infill pieces, side wall bricks and convertor pieces between the wall and the core. The graphite bricks in the reactor core and act as a moderator to control the chain reaction by slowing down the neutrons.
