Sir William Herschel , 2nd Baronet Sir William James Herschel , 2nd Baronet ( 9 January 1833 – 24 October 1917 ) was a British officer in India who used fingerprint s for identification on contracts . He was born in Slough in Buckinghamshire ( now Berkshire ) , a son of the astronomer , John Herschel . He lived at Warfield in Berkshire . Herschel is credited with being the first European to note the value of fingerprints for identification . He recognized that fingerprints were unique and permanent . Herschel documented his own fingerprints over his lifetime to prove permanence . He was also credited with being the first person to use fingerprints in a practical manner . As early as the 1850s , working as a British officer for the Indian Civil Service in the Bengal region of India , he started putting fingerprints on contracts . In 1858 , Herschel used whole handprints as a signature on contracts , following the Indian Rebellion of 1857 , which changed Bengal directly to British control ( the British Raj , ending control by the British East India Company ) . Local businessman Rajyadhar Konai was the first person Herschel handprinted , apparently more as a way of getting Konai to honor a contract he had signed than as a means of identification ; it was only sometime later that he gave serious thought to the efficacy of fingerprints as identification .
M1944 Hyde Carbine The M1944 Hyde Carbine was an attempt by George Hyde to manufacture a light rifle for the US Armed Forces . The overall weapon was based on the Thompson Submachine Gun which Hyde himself designed many of his weapons on . Although an original . 30 Carbine calibre platform was based on the M1921 / 27 variants , It worked well but due to the war effort was found expensive for mass production and its weight defied the concept of a Light Rifle . The M1944 Hyde Carbine came with a quick barrel change device similar to the MG42 and pressed steel components to ease production / reduce weight . The M1944 Hyde Carbine was more reliable and accurate than the M1 Carbine that was adopted and also came with the capability of select fire , which made it close to the likes of the StG - 44 . Overview . That it is a totally obvious copy of the MG42 ( which then had only been around for a couple years ) , but one really has to wonder why a quick - change barrel would be necessary on a submachine gun . CQB was a fashion item in European SMGs in 1930s , to quote just Finnish Suomi KP / 31 and Polish wz . 39 Mors , Mr . Hyde could have picked it from there . The bolt has the rat - tail , similar to a Solothurn MP - 34 , where it looks like the spring is contained within the buttstock . This appears to be an interesting example of “ making a gun out of sheetmetal ” rather than “ making a sheet metal gun ” . This is somewhat like making a plastic AR receiver , as opposed to making a Glock , wherein the gun was designed around the materials used . Hyde gun may have been a mystery to some , but certainly not to readers of the first edition of The World ’ s Assault Rifles by Daniel Musgrave and Thomas B . Nelson , published in 1967 with the photos seen here . George Hyde is not a well recognized name , but was very active and involved in the American war effort . He was designing submachine guns at least back to 1933 , and one of his guns ( the Bendix - Hyde carbine ) was entered in the Light Rifle trials which would eventually lead to the M1 Carbine . He also had a hand in the development of the Liberator pistol , designed the M2 submachine gun that was briefly adopted as a substitute standard , and designed ( in cooperation with Inland ’ s Frederick W . Sampson ) the M3 “ Grease Gun ” that replaced the Thompson in US military service . Quite the prolific designer ! Unfortunately , no known examples of this gun remain in existence . Immediately preceding U . S . entry into WWII George Hyde also developed a series of . 45 caliber submachine guns that superficially resembled a Thompson , initially with a finned barrel . He died about 1964 . He is best remembered for his work on the M3 Grease Gun , and he may very well have been the inventor of the system in which the bolt does not need to closely fit the stamped - metal receiver , but is guided by the recoil spring guide rods . This was later adapted to many other guns , notably the AR18 and the Ultimax 100 . Related equipment and accessories . Ammunition types . The ammunition used by the military with the carbine include :

Sidirokastro ( Achaea ) Sidirokastro ( literally " the iron castle " ) was a castle in Achaea , Greece , situated between the villages Krini and Kallithea . It is located on one of the foothills of the Panachaiko , the Omplos , near the Omblos Monastery in Zoitada . Little remains of the castle . It is unknown when exactly it was built , most likely by the Franks of the Principality of Achaea . It was used for the defense of Patras , around which the Venetians had built many small castle - fortresses . It was first mentioned in a list of castles of Achaea in 1364 . Nothing is known about its history , although it was situated in a strategical location next to the old road to Kalavryta , known as the " Makelarias Road " . It is believed that the iron gate of the Omplos Monastery is originally from the castle . The name " Sidirokastro " comes from the slate stones in the vicinity , that are called " sideropetra " ( " iron stones " ) by the locals .
Naval Air Station New Iberia Naval Air Station New Iberia , located near New Iberia , Louisiana , was a short - lived training facility of the United States Navy which operated for a mere five years in the 1960s . The naval base at New Iberia was actually designated NAAS , indicating that it was a Naval Auxiliary Air Station . History . The site of NAAS New Iberia had served as a civil airport between 1946 and 1954 . In 1954 the Department of Defense selected the airport for development as a naval air station . Due to the runway length requirements of naval jet aircraft , a total of 4 , 000 acres were purchased by the Federal Government and an 8 , 002 - foot concrete runway , Runway 16 / 34 , was constructed . Commissioned in 1960 , Naval Auxiliary Air Station New Iberia was located on 90 just outside of New Iberia and covered an area of 4 , 347 acres of land and had an elevation of 24 feet . With the opening of NAAS New Iberia , its primary flying unit , Advanced Training Unit - B moved from Naval Air Station Kingsville / South Field , Texas and was redesignated as Training Squadron TWENTY SEVEN ( VT - 27 ) . Operating Grumman TS - 2A Tracker s , the squadron conducted advanced multiengine training for Student Naval Aviator s destined for carrier - based A - 1 Skyraider , S - 2 Tracker and E - 1 Tracer aircraft , and land - based naval aircraft and seaplanes , primarily those engaged in airborne early warning mission flying the EC - 121 Warning Star , and those in the patrol and anti - submarine warfare mission , such as the P - 2 Neptune , P5M Marlin , and the new P - 3 Orion that began coming on line in the early 1960s . Approximately 1 , 000 military personnel and 100 civilian workers were stationed at NAAS New Iberia in 1964 , including those assigned to VT - 27 . Naval Auxiliary Air Station New Iberia continued to function until 1964 when the Navy began closing the facility . On 29 September 1964 , VT - 27 transferred to Naval Air Station Corpus Christi , Texas , with the squadron instructor pilots flying out the TS - 2 Trackers . NAS New Iberia was finally closed in January 1965 . Upon the closure of the naval field , the Iberia Parish governing body petitioned the U . S . government for release of 2 , 100 acres of air station property for civil aviation use . The petition was granted in 1970 and the airport was given its present name , Acadiana Regional Airport . The Acadiana Regional Airport is presently classified as a General Aviation Transport airport by the FAA . By definition , the airport is capable of serving all classes of aircraft . A variety of aviation - related businesses are located at the airport . Numerous helicopters and seaplanes utilize the airport in support of the offshore petroleum industry in the Gulf of Mexico . Commercial passenger service is provided by a number of charter operators at the airport .

USS Sumner ( DD - 333 ) The first USS " Sumner " ( DD - 333 ) was a " Clemson " - class destroyer in the United States Navy following World War I . She was named for Allen M . Sumner . History . " Sumner " was laid down at San Francisco , California , on 27 August 1919 by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation ; launched on 27 November 1920 ; sponsored by Miss Margaret Sumner ; and commissioned on 27 May 1921 , Lieutenant Commander Donald Bradford Beary in command . Four days later , " Sumner " joined Destroyer Division 49 , Squadron 13 , Flotilla 2 of the Pacific Fleet . Her naval career lasted almost nine years and occurred during a period of relative naval calm . On only four occasions did she depart from her routine of training , maneuvers , and patrols . The first such break came in 1924 , when the revolution against the Obregón government in Mexico rose to such intensity that the lives and property of Americans in the country were endangered . Accordingly , on 17 January , while was dispatched to Tampico , " Sumner " and five other destroyers joined in sailing to Veracruz to protect the resident Americans . " Sumner " resumed her normal west coast operations in early April 1924 and was so employed until mid - 1925 . On 1 July 1925 , she joined the Battle Fleet and a division of light cruiser s from the Scouting Force in departing Pearl Harbor for a cruise to Australia and New Zealand . The force visited Pago Pago , Samoa , then continued on to Melbourne and Sydney , Australia , and to Auckland , Lyttelton , Wellington , and Dunedin , New Zealand . The fleet returned to the west coast on 26 September , and " Sumner " resumed training duties and patrols . In March 1927 , she transited the Panama Canal to participate in maneuvers in the Atlantic Ocean . During that cruise and the maneuvers , she made it as far north as Boston , Massachusetts , before returning to the Pacific Ocean in June 1927 . After a voyage to Hawaii and operations in that area , conducted in 1928 , " Sumner " returned to her activities along the west coast until the spring of 1930 . Fate . On 29 March 1930 , she was decommissioned at San Diego , California , and her name was struck from the Navy list on 18 November . Between then and 1934 , she continued to serve the Navy - first as a barracks ship for submarine crews ; then as a test ship for structural strength tests . Finally , on 12 June 1934 , her hulk was sold in accordance with the terms of the London Treaty for the Limitation and Reduction of Naval Armaments . See for other ships of this name .
Chalcuchimac Chalcuchimac ( also called Challcochima , Chalkuchimac , Challcuchima , Chalicuchima or Chialiquichiama ; born in the latter part of the 15th century ; died Cajamarca , Peru , 1533 ) was , along with Quisquis and Rumiñahui one of the leading Inca generals of the north and a supporter of Atahualpa , for whom he had won five battles against the Spaniard s . He was born in Quito in the north end of the Empire , and therefore swore his allegiance to Atahualpa in the division of the empire after the 1527 death of Huayna Capac and predicted heir Ninan Cuyochi died in smallpox in the north . In the civil war that followed in 1529 , he fought alongside Atahualpa and participated in defeating the Huáscar an forces in the battle of Chimborazo and having Huáscar ' s general and brother Atoc captured and killed . In April 1532 , he and his companion defeated and captured Huáscar in the battle of Quipaipan . He was called to Cajamarca in 1533 by Atahualpa during his imprisonment and arrested by the Spaniards who feared he might resume hostilities . Once Atahualpa had been executed on August 29 , Pizarro advanced with his troops toward Cuzco . The natives attacked these troops several times with such spirit and discipline that they suspected Chialiquichiama was in secret communication with the Indians and directing their operations . There was a rumor that Quizquiz , the leader of the natives , had received communications from his imprisoned colleague Chialiquichiama letting him know the Spanish force was divided and how best to profit by that occasion . The suspicions , though not sufficiently proved to justify his fate , were enough to decide it , and Pizarro sentenced him to be burned alive . He was offered a less painful death if he would become a Christian , but he refused to be baptized , and died according to the sentence , remonstrating to the last moment against the injustice of his condemnation . The Spaniards later routed the forces of Quizquiz and captured Cuzco in late 1533 .
