George Thompson (aviator). George W. Thompson (April 3, 1888 – August 21, 1912) was a self-taught aviator, and is one of the first Coloradan flyers. He was born near Sharon Springs, Kansas. Thompson built a Mathewson biplane, a Curtiss design, and soloed it on January 4, 1911.

Biography 
His early career was working for the Mathewson Auto Company, Denver, Colorado. The company name later became the Mathewson Aeroplane Company. Thompson made several flights on his first flying day, and in the first year, about 100 flights during 1911. He was known to travel with his aircraft throughout Colorado and also in Wyoming, especially at county fairs with aerial shows. Thompson made the first flight ever in Wyoming using a Mathewson plane for the Independence Day celebration in Gillette, Wyoming in 1911.

In his short life, he built and flew nine "headless biplanes". He also helped to organize the American Federation of Aviators, and served as president in 1911-1912.

Thompson's primary flights took place at the Sable airstrip, a primitive airfield and auto racing track, located between the Fitzsimons Hospital and the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, the area of the old Stapleton Airport. For some of his Colorado travels, he disassembled his aircraft and shipped it in a boxcar to his destination.

George Thompson made a number of early contributions to Colorado aviation, but his life was cut short at the age of 24 by a crash at the Prowers County Fair at Lamar, Colorado on August 21, 1912. According to the Colorado Aviation Historical Society, during a flight, he hit a treetop, was thrown out and fell about  to the ground, with the aircraft falling upon him. The New York Times gave a different account, reporting that his airplane "was tipped over by a light breeze" at a height of ; Thompson jumped, but was fatally crushed by his machine. The Denver Post stated he lost control of his Mathewson biplane at an altitude of 200 feet after he "struck an air pocket" and hit the tree on the way down.

His headstone at Olinger Crown Hill Cemetery in Wheat Ridge, Colorado are engraved with the words "George W. Thompson, Colorado's First Aviator".

Colorado Hall of Fame
Thompson was inducted into the Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame in its first ceremony of 1969.

Ivy Substation. Ivy Substation (also known as the Ivy Park Substation or Culver Substation) is a 99-seat theatre in Culver City, California which formerly housed power equipment for the nearby electric railways and Ivy station. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

History
A single-story, rectangular-shaped building in the Mission Revival style, it was built in 1907 as a traction substation by the Los Angeles Pacific Railway which subsequently became part of the Pacific Electric railway in 1911.

Made of brick covered in stucco, the large interior once held old-style rotary mechanical rectifiers to convert very high voltage alternating current (AC) to 600 volt direct current (DC) to operate run cars for serve nearby streetcar and interurban lines: the PE's Venice Short Line, Redondo Beach via Playa del Rey Line, and Santa Monica Air Line. 

It remained in service until 1953. The old equipment was removed and the building was purchased by the City of Los Angeles, but sat vacant for many years. In the early 1990s, the Culver City Redevelopment Agency and the City of Los Angeles renovated the building to use as a community theater by The Actors' Gang.

The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places because of its association with the transportation history of Los Angeles as well as for its architecture.

Armstrong Tools. Armstrong Tools was an American industrial hand tool manufacturer. In its final years, it existed as a brand of Apex Tool Group, LLC and manufactured the majority of its tools in the United States, focusing mostly on aerospace, government, and military users.

History 

Armstrong was founded in 1890 as the Armstrong Bros. Tool Company in Chicago, Illinois by the five Armstrong brothers. The brothers manufactured bicycle parts and tools for repairing and manufacturing bicycles from the brothers' backyard shed and managed a retail store in downtown Chicago.

In 1895, Armstrong introduced a tool holder for lathe cutting bits. Rather than individual forged cutting tools, this product used a single forged shank with interchangeable cutting bits, drastically reducing the cost of such bits. The success of this product allowed Armstrong to build a factory in Chicago in 1900 (followed by a larger factory in 1905). In 1948, the company moved to its current facility, and in 1974, it opened a second facility in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Some Sears Craftsman Professional products lines (such as the former USA made Professional wrench line) were made by the Armstrong Division of Danaher and were virtually the same units, save for the stamping of the different names.

In 1994, Armstrong was acquired by the Danaher Corporation, where it operated as its industrial hand tools division.

In 2010, Armstrong, as part of Danaher Tool Group, became part of Apex Tool Group. In 2017, Apex announced that it would layoff 170 workers at its Sumter, South Carolina plant and cease production of the Armstrong and Allen brands by March 31.

Capturx. Capturx is a no-code mobile software platform for use with digital pens or any modern touch screen device, designed for organizations to automate paper-based data collection and similar operations. Paper survives because it is easy and reliable- but paper-based workflows include manual labor like scanning and data entry. Data on paper frequently languishes in the field, waiting to get delivered, scanned, re-typed, or is subject to misinterpretation during transcription. 

The challenge Capturx attempts to tackle is process reengineering of paper based processes. Capturx works as an add-in with Microsoft Office Excel, and SharePoint, passing structured handwritten paper forms or data captured with touch screen devices into a SharePoint database and further integrated into corporate databases.

The add-in software works with digital pens from NeoLab Convergence. NeoLab also created the technology behind the digital pattern that helps the digital pens to track the data. The pattern is like a digital fingerprint making each printed page unique to each application and file, as the pen writes it stores the handwriting digitally for integration into the native application of the paper document. 

The software and digital pens are typically used for field service, data collection, note taking, compliance, and red line markups of building plans.

Maker of Capturx Software
Capturx commercial products are produced by Field Data Integrators LLC (FDI) www.fielddataintegrators.com (formerly Adapx, Inc.), a natural user interface software company. FDI is a continuation of the Adapx, Inc. effort, which was started in 1999. FDI is based in Olympia, WA. 

Capturx defense related products are produced by Hyssos Tech LLC www.hyssos.com. Capturx Speech and Sketch is a multimodal solution focused toward Military, Intel and Public Safety organizations. Hyssos Tech LLC is the developer of this product, supporting foreign and domestic defense agencies, for example Multimodal technology from Hyssos (during the Adapx years) has been part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Deep Green project to develop a decision-making support system for the United States Army.

Macchi M.70. The Macchi M.70, was an Italian light biplane of the late 1920s built by Macchi.

Design and development

The M.70 was a two-seat, single-bay biplane with tandem cockpits. The pilot generally sat in the rear cockpit, but both cockpits had flight controls. The fuselage was of wooden construction with plywood skin and was of rectangular section. The wings were of equal span, fairly thick section, and wooden construction; they had fabric covering, and only the lower wing had ailerons. The interplane struts were steel tubes braced with piano wire. The tail surfaces were constructed of steel frames covered by fabric. The rudder was balanced, while the ailerons and elevators were unbalanced.

The aircraft was powered by the Blackburn Cirrus II engine or similar engines in the 56 to 60 kilowatt (75 to 80 horsepower) range, driving a two-bladed tractor propeller. Its wings were hinged and could be folded back along the fuselage, and the aircraft could be converted from landplane to floatplane configuration by removal of its fixed, V-type, straight-axle wheeled landing gear and installation of twin, single-step floats mounted on four struts.

Operational history
An M.70 flown by an Italian pilot named Agello was among 53 aircraft entered in the 1930 Giro Aereo d'Italia ("Circuit of Italy") race, which more or less circled the Italian "boot" and was held in four stages flown on 25, 27, 29, and 31 August 1930. Rather than be held as a straightforward timed race, the Giro Aereo dItalia used a handicapping system to determine a staggered start at the beginning of each of the four stages of the race; the system was biased against aircraft with better pure racing capabilities, adjusting start times to favor planes with other characteristics the race organizers deemed useful in general aviation. During preliminary tests held before the race, an aircraft received a higher number of points if it demonstrated a higher rate of climb, shorter takeoff run, and shorter landing distance, and if it had better "touring qualities"—folding wings, comfort, ease of control in flight, and an ability to accommodate safety features such as the wearing of parachutes, among other things; it was penalized for greater weight and higher engine power. The aircraft with the highest point total was allowed to start first in each stage, those with fewer points starting later at a rate of one minute of delay per point behind.

Agellos M.70, powered by a  Colombo S.53 engine, had among the three shortest takeoff runs and demonstrated the shortest landing distance of any of the 53 entrants, stopping in only 50 meters (164 feet). Overall, the point system placed the M.70 in the ninth starting position, allowing Agello to start with an 11-minute handicap.

Hamble College of Air Training. Hamble College of Air Training was a flight training centre in Hampshire, England.

During the late 1950s it became apparent that there was going to be a shortage of ex military pilots who would be available to crew British civil aircraft. The two (then) state owned airline corporations, British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) and British European Airways (BEA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Aviation, proposed a flying school based loosely on the Royal Air Force's officer training college at Cranwell. The site chosen was a small airfield at Hamble, Hampshire in the Southern United Kingdom, used at the time by Air Service Training and Southampton University Air Squadron. The first course of cadets began training in 1960.

The college continued operations until the mid-1980s: British Airways (the merged BOAC and BEA) announced the closure in 1982 and in 1984 the land was sold for development and the equipment disposed of.

For the first few years of operation the course lasted two years: later courses were shortened to eighteen months. Cadets were accepted equally from the ranks of school leavers and university graduates: previous flying experience was not a requirement. Following fifteen weeks of ground study, ab initio and, later, advanced flying training commenced.

Ground training included aerodynamics, astronavigation, meteorology, propulsion and many other disciplines. Flying training commenced after fifteen weeks, initially on De Havilland Chipmunk then Piper Cherokee aircraft, progressing to twin engine experience on Piper Apaches and later Beechcraft Barons. A graduate would leave the college with a British commercial pilot's licence and a "frozen" airline transport pilot's licence, which could be converted into a full ATPL after further examinations and having accumulated the requisite flying hours.
