Indiana Bicycle Company. Indiana Bicycle Company was a bicycle and automobile company in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The company made carriages, bicycles and electric vehicles under the name Waverley Cycles. By 1896 the company was producing 350 bicycles every ten hours.

History

Bicycles

In 1885 Charles F. Smith started the Indiana Bicycle company. The Indiana Bicycle company consisted of 8 buildings which produced tools, a forging shop for manufacturing sprockets and cranks, and other buildings for the assembly and manufacture of bicycle parts. In 1896 the company employed 1071 people and turned out 350 bicycles every ten hours. In 1895 the company produced three different bicycles: the Scorcher, the Belle, the Ladies Special Diamond. The company produced in excess of 50,000 bicycles a year.

American Bicycle Company (1899-1903) 

In 1899 the company joined a trust which was set up to control the bicycle market in the United States. Forty-two factories were part of the trust; the major barrier to organizing it was the manufacturer of rubber tires. It was decided that tires would be purchased from the "Rubber King", Charles R. Flint. The trust which formed under the name American Bicycle Company only lasted a few years. Historians have not determined why the company failed but they have several theories. One idea was that the company was poorly organized, and another theory is that the various manufacturers involved in the company had different objectives. After the breakup the many different companies went back to competing.

Automobiles

The company manufactured carriages, cars and bicycles. From 1897 to 1916 the Waverley company produced electric cars which looked like carriages. In 1913 the Silent Waverley Front-Drive Four was priced at $2900 which would equate to $81,419.11 in 2021.

Mary Albert. Mary Remley Albert (born 1952) is an American earth scientist who is a Professor of Engineering at Dartmouth College. She studies snow physics and transport phenomena. She is executive director of the US Ice Drilling Program.

Early life and education 
Albert was an undergraduate student at Pennsylvania State University. She first studied mathematics, before moving to Dartmouth College for graduate studies. Her master's work developed two-dimensional models to understand freezing using a moving mesh finite element approach. After earning her master's degree in engineering sciences, she moved to the University of California, San Diego. Her doctoral research considered the growth of wavy ice in forced flow. She joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab (CRREL), where she developed computational models to understand two-dimensional heat conduction.

Research and career 
At Dartmouth, Albert is a member of the Ice Research Laboratory. The laboratory looks to advance understanding of ice-related phenomena and train the next generation of polar researchers. She makes use of polar ice cores to better understand the climate catastrophe as well as developing adaptation strategies for communities to survive as the world's climate changes. Albert has been involved with scientific expeditions to Greenland and Antarctica. On these missions, she uses shallow radar, GPS and satellite imagery to understand the processes that go on in polar regions. In particular, Albert has studied ancient snow known as firn, which provides insight into 800,000 years of climate. She extracts firn from ice sheets, examines the firn's microstructure and monitors how it traps atmospheric gases. Albert worked with people from Qaanaaq to build renewable energy infrastructure that serves the northernmost communities of Greenland.

Albert has served on various national committees considering ice and polar science. Albert serves as executive director of the United States Ice Drilling Program, which is supported by the National Science Foundation. The Ice Drilling Program oversees planning for ice coring and drilling. The program releases regular white papers, maintains an equipment inventory and runs a comprehensive education program.

Selected publications

Personal life 
Albert is married to a geophysicist with whom she has two children. Both of her children are engineers.

JDS Azuma. JDS Azuma (ATS-4201) was a training support ship of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. JS Kurobe was built in 1989 for the purpose of training that could not properly supported by Azuma's equipment, and so she was removed from the register in 1999 when the new training ship Tenryu was built.

Development and design 
In 1957, during the Second Defense Build-up Plan, the Maritime Self-Defense Force received 10 KD-2R-3 low-speed target aircraft from the US Navy and began operating unmanned target aircraft (target drones). In the same year, the Landing Ship Support (LSSL) Hamagiku was incorporated into the Yokosuka District Force and remodeled into an unmanned target aircraft mother boat. After that, the KD-2R-5 was also introduced, but the rear deck of the boat was narrow, which hindered the launch work of the target aircraft, so in 1964, the Kusu-class patrol ship,  was newly introduced. It was selected and refurbished as an unmanned target aircraft mother ship.

However, at that time, with the aggravation of the airborne threat, the deployment of new-generation anti-aircraft weapon systems such as 5-inch single-armed quick-firing guns and tartar systems were progressing, and the KD-2R low-speed target aircraft provided a sufficient training environment. Problems that could not be provided were being pointed out. For this reason, it was planned to introduce the BQM-34 Firebee, a high-speed jet-propelled target aircraft operated by the US military in the three armies at that time. At that time, the US military operated by ground launch or air launch, but the Maritime Self-Defense Force could not operate in this way due to the setting of the training sea area and the lack of launch aircraft. For this reason, this ship was built as the world's first platform for operating a Firebee high-speed target aircraft on board.

Construction and career
Azuma was laid down on 13 July 1968 at Maizuru Heavy Industries, Maizuru and launched on 14 April 1969. The ship was commissioned on 26 November 1969.

Reorganized into a ship under the direct control of the escort fleet on 24 June 1994.

Removed from the register on 28 May 1999. During the commissioning period of about 30 years, she engaged in a total of 1317 training support missions, including a total range of about 624,000 nautical miles (about 29 laps of the earth), 504 firebees, 344 chakas, and 469 low-speed drones.

Reims Military Aviation Competition, 1911. The Reims Military Aviation Competition (French: Concours militaire d'aviation) was a military aviation competition held in Reims in October 1911 that was organized by the French Army, with the purpose of trialling the performance of new aircraft for potential use by the French military. Although a number of aeronautical records were beaten during the competition, there were also a number of crashes and fatalities. It began on Friday October 6, 1911.

Background 

Aircraft manufacturers that exhibited at Le Grand Concours d'Aviation Militaire at Reims in October 1911 hoped to attract orders from the French military. Organized by the French Army, this competition required that the aircraft and engines be fully built in France, and be able to fly without stop on a closed circuit of 300 km with a 300 kg load (not including oil, water and fuel) at a speed of more than 60 km/h. Additionally, they were to be 3-seaters, and be able to take-off and land from unprepared surfaces. The first prize was 700,000 francs plus additional sums for increases in speed over 60 km/h, as well as a commitment by the military to purchase 10 aircraft. The competition attracted the major French aircraft manufacturers of the time, including Blériot, Breguet, Deperdussin, Farman, Hanriot, R.E.P. and Nieuport.

Results 
At the conclusion of the Reims military competition of November 1911, results were declared as follows:
 Charles Weymann with a Nieuport IV G monoplane powered by a 14 cylinder Gnome engine of 100hp. It covered the 300 km course in 2h33min at a mean speed of 117 km/h.
 René Moineau with a Breguet G 3 biplane powered by a 14 cylinder Gnome engine of 140 hp, 3h09, averaging 95 km/h.
 Maurice Prévost with a Deperdussin Type B "Sport", powered by a Gnome 100hp engine. Prévost achieved an average speed of 89 km/h.
