Reeves and Sons is an English art materials brand and a former manufacturing company established by William Reeves (1739–1803) in 1766.[1][2] Reeves is credited with having invented the soluble watercolour.[3]

The brand is best known for its "Reeves" brand of artists' acrylic and watercolor paints. The firm went through various name changes during its history, listed as follows:

  • Thomas Reeves and Son 1784–1799
  • W. J. Reeves 1799–1800
  • Reeves and Woodyer 1800–1816
  • Reeves, Woodyer and Reeves 1817–1818
  • W. J. Reeves and Son 1819–1829
  • Reeves and Sons 1830–1890
  • Reeves and Sons Ltd 1891–1976

In 1974, the company was acquired by Reckitt and Colman, and then merged with Winsor and Newton, following Reckitt and Colman's acquisition in 1976 of the latter company. In 1991, ownership of the "Reeves" brand was acquired by Wilhelm Becker, through American conglomerate Colart.[4]

The cause of pulsar kicks is unknown, but many astrophysicists believe that it must be due to an asymmetry in the way a supernova explodes. If true, this would give information about the supernova mechanism. Observation It is generally accepted today that the average pulsar kick ranges from 200 to 50...
