Cyril Frank Elwell. Cyril Frank Elwell (August 20, 1884 – February 11, 1963) was an Australian-born American inventor and pioneer in development of radio.

He had an American father and a German mother, then went to Fort St. Model Public School in Sydney, Australia.

Elwell arrived in the United States in 1902. He applied to Stanford University and entered the electrical engineering program there. In 1906, he organized fellow students to participate in repairs at the campus, owing to the San Francisco earthquake. He graduated in 1907. He founded the Poulsen Wireless Telephone and Telegraph Company, later renamed Federal Telegraph Company in 1909.

Elwell designed a large transformer for electric arc furnace reduction of iron ore; this became the topic of his thesis. He had published some technical papers on applications in electric metallurgy. In 1908 he switched interests to wireless communication after investigating a system for voice transmission by spark gap transmitter invented by Francis Joseph McCarty (1888-1906) in 1902. After demonstrating the concept and obtaining financial backing for further research, McCarty had been killed in an automobile accident. His investors had contacted Harris J. Ryan at Stanford, who referred them to Elwell. The apparatus Elwell had evaluated proved unsuitable, but he knew of the Poulsen arc converter, which differed from the spark gap in producing a continuous wave. This, Elwell knew, would be more suitable for wireless transmission of voice.

By 1910 Elwell had demonstrated voice communication between Stockton and Sacramento, California. Equipment and technique rapidly improved and by 1911 Federal Telegraph was prepared to bid on contracts to provide Navy communication to Hawaii.  After a dispute with the board of directors, Elwell resigned from Federal Telegraph in 1913 but continued radio research, joining the short-lived Universal Radio Syndicate. During World War I, he was a consulting radio engineer for the French and Italian governments. Between 1915 and 1923, he was the managing director of 'C. F. Elwell, Ltd.' In June 1924, renowned Scottish inventor and television pioneer John Logie Baird bought from Elwell a thallium sulphide (thalofide) cell, developed by Theodore Case in the USA. The thalofide cell was part of the important new technology of 'talking pictures', i.e. Phonofilm. Elwell was one of the founders of the Mullard company, manufacturers of vacuum tubes. After his term as director at Mullard, he returned to the United States in 1947 and was a consulting engineer for Hewlett Packard. He died in 1963.

Arthur L. Parker. Arthur LaRue Parker (November 16, 1885 – January 1, 1945) was an American businessman and inventor, known for founding Parker Hannifin Corporation (then known as Parker Appliance Company).

Early life and education 
Parker was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and graduated from Case School of Applied Science in 1907, present day Case Western Reserve University, with a degree in electrical engineering.  As both a student and alumnus, Art strongly supported the Case's athletic programs, being a season ticket holder for both football and baseball and a member of the Case Athletic Association for many years.

Career 
In 1908, Parker filed his first patent, a mechanism that regulated the speed of a generator to create a constant output of electricity.  Throughout his entire career, he filed 160 additional patents.  The primary patent giving Parker his entrepreneurial beginnings was filed in 1914 for his pneumatic braking system.

Founding of a company 

On March 13, 1917, Parker Appliance Company was founded,  referencing the office address of 1115 Schofield Bldg of the Schofield Building in Downtown Cleveland.  His first production facility was located at 2420 Superior Viaduct in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleveland.

World War I 

Art served in the United States Army, and arrived on the Western Front in France in July of 1918. During the Meuse–Argonne offensive, Art supported as a Transportation Officer, where his supply truck became a makeshift ambulance helping transport wounded American and French soldiers.

Growth of a company 

Early struggles caused him to have to stop and start the business.  In 1924 the business was closed and reopened at the address of 10320 Berea Rd in Cleveland.  In 1927, having invented and patented a tubing fitting that would not leak under high pressure, Parker convinced young aviator Charles Lindbergh, who was preparing to attempt a non-stop New York-to-Paris flight, to use Parker products in the fuel system of his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis. Lindbergh's successful flight resulted in a major boost in Parker's business fortunes.

In 1935, Parker relocated the company into the much larger building at 17325 Euclid Ave in Cleveland.  By then, Parker's products had gained widespread acceptance in aircraft, marine and industrial applications and the future of his business was assured.

Death 
Parker died of a heart attack on January 1, 1945, and was interred at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland.

Legacy
After Parker's death, his widow, Helen Parker, put all of her $1 million life insurance policy payment back into the company, saving it from insolvency, to continue Art's life work to what would become the Fortune 500 company Parker Hannifin Corporation.

Savannah Johnson Speak. Savannah Johnson Speak (4 September 1868 – 29 December 1929) was an English mining engineer and metallurgist. He received a technical education at the Yorkshire College and the Royal School of Mines after which he worked in mining around the world and lectured in metallurgy at the University of Sydney. He was in business as a consultant engineer in London and was president of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy from 1922-23.

Early life
Savannah Johnson Speak was born on 4 September 1868 at East Bierley, Yorkshire, to Savannah Speak and his wife Annie. His father was a "cotton warp dresser". He was schooled at Saltaire and received his advanced education at the Yorkshire College (1886–89) which specialised in scientific and technical subjects such as mining and geology and eventually was adsorbed into the University of Leeds. This was followed by study at the Royal School of Mines.

Career
Speak worked in Transvaal in 1890 and in German South West Africa in 1891. He was lecturer in metallurgy at the University of Sydney from 1892 to 1894. He was a metallurgist at the Geldenhuis Deep Gold Mine, Johannesburg, in 1895-97 and worked in the Dutch East Indies 1898-99. He also worked in West Africa, Celebes, Korea, British Columbia, Siberia, Argentina, and Northern Rhodesia.

From 1905, Speak was a consulting engineer, practicing from London Wall Buildings, and became a partner in the firm of Hooper, Speak & Co. He was president of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy from 1922-23.

Later life

In the 1920s, Speak was resident at Monkenhurst, New Barnet, on the edge of Monken Hadley Common. He died on 29 December 1929 at Dixton, Hadley Common, leaving an estate of £14,439. His executors were Ethel Maud Speak, widow, and William Henry Speak, merchant.

High Steel. High Steel is a 1965 short National Film Board of Canada documentary film directed by Don Owen about Mohawk Ironworkers from Kahnawake building New York City skycrapers.

Synopsis 
Featuring breathtaking sequences of workers walking along narrow steel beams high above street level, High Steel is based largely on the experiences of one Mohawk ironworker working in Manhattan, Harold McComber. The film contrasts the daring work of McComber and his coworkers in the skies above New York City with life back home in Kahnawake. It also explains how the Mohawk people living across the Saint Lawrence River from Montreal first gained their reputation for high steel work in the late 19th century by working on a railway bridge that ran through their land. However, as the film recounts through narration and archival photos, such a reputation came at a terrible cost. While working on the Quebec Bridge farther down river near Quebec City, dozens of Mohawks were among the 75 men killed during its 1907 construction collapse with a devastating impact on the small community. While celebrating their courage and skill, the film also makes it plain how the Mohawks are forced to leave home to make a living, and McComber regrets that his sons have had to grow up without their father.

Production 
The film's director of photography was John Spotton, with Don Francks as narrator, Julian Biggs as producer, and a song by Bruce Mackay, "Mountains of Iron and Steel" (replacing Gordon Lightfoot, who was originally supposed to have provided music). The film was shot using 35 mm cameras, with film crews having to gain access to the construction site high above the ground by traversing a ladder from an adjacent building.

Voroshilovgrad Higher Military Aviation School of Navigators. The Voroshilovgrad Higher Military Aviation School of Navigators was a flying training school of the Soviet Air Forces and later the Ukrainian Air Force. Established in 1966 in Voroshilovgrad (Lugansk), the school trained navigators until its closure in 1997.

It was also known as the Lugansk Higher Military Aviation School of Navigators after city name changes during the Soviet period.

History 
In connection with the reduction of air and focus on intensive development of anti-missile technology, Voroshilovgrad Pilot School, amongst other Air Force military schools, was disbanded in 1960. The vacant airfield was given over to MI-4 and MI-6 helicopters. In the mid-1960s Helicopter facility was transferred to the city of Voronezh and was replaced by the Kharkov Regiment VVAUL, equipped with L-29 Delfin, who was based in Lugansk until mid-1967.

In 1966, the commander in chief of the Air Force decided to establish a second Soviet navigators' aviation school, and since at that time the only school of navigators was in Chelyabinsk, the choice fell on Lugansk city, it was decided to establish a school of navigators on the basis of previously liquidated Pilots' School. September 9, 1966, is considered the official date of formation VVVAUSH (at the time - LVVAUSH). The Chelyabinsk Red Banner Military Aviation Institute of Navigators sent to Lugansk a number of officers who formed the school's backbone. In the summer of 1967, held its first set of students in the school (two companies). In 1969, the command of the school appealed to the Regional Party Committee with a request for assignment LVVAUSH as successor Lugansk military pilot school, the name of "the proletariat of Donbass".

Since 1971, the issue is students who had been weaned four years directly VVVAUSH. Education at the school was carried out on four profiles: Military Transport Aviation, maritime missile-carrying aircraft (MPA), anti-submarine aircraft (PLA) and the profile of training - the officer of command and control.

After the independence of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine was not able to maintain the school and it was gradually reduced. In October 1993 the Lugansk VVAUSH joined the Kharkiv Institute of the Air Force as a branch (now Ivan Kozhedub National Air Force University). The last issue of LVVAUSH cadets was produced in 1996 and later that year on the basis of the school was formed 205th aviation training base of the Kharkov Air Force Institute, which existed two years and was disbanded. The date of official liquidation LVVAUSH was considered July 17, 1997.

JNR Class ED15. The  was an electric locomotive formerly operated in Japan from 1924 until 1960. The Class ED15 was the first mainline electric locomotive type to be built domestically in Japan.

History
Founder Namihei Odaira and other engineers from Hitachi visited the Omiya Works of the Japanese Governmental Railways in 1922 and saw imported electric locomotives. They decided to build one by themselves soon afterwards, and the first example, ED15 1 was completed in 1924. Two more locomotives of the class were built in 1926. Initially designated Class 1070 under the original Japanese Government Railways (JGR) numbering scheme, the locomotives became Class ED15 from 1928.

The locomotives were initially used on Tokaido Main Line freight services, and were later employed on the Chuo Main Line.

The locomotives were withdrawn from service between 1959 and 1960.

Preservation 
ED15 1 is preserved at the Hitachi Mito Factory in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki.

Classification

The ED15 classification for this locomotive type is explained below.
 E: Electric locomotive
 D: Four driving axles
 15: Locomotive with maximum speed 85 km/h or less

Gemini SC-2. Gemini SC-2 (Spacecraft No. 2) was the second NASA Project Gemini full-up reentry capsule built. This McDonnell Gemini capsule was the first space capsule to be reused, flying twice in suborbital flights. SC-2 flew on Gemini 2 and OPS 0855 flights. The capsule is currently on display at the Air Force Space and Missile Museum at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

Spacecraft history
The capsule is part of the collection of the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution.

On 19 January 1965, the Gemini 2 suborbital test mission was launched, with the second prototype Gemini capsule.

In March 1965, NASA approved the transfer of the Gemini 2 capsule to the USAF for modification into the first prototype of the Gemini B capsule.

On 3 November 1965, the first Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) and Gemini B suborbital test mission was launched. It is the first capsule to ever be flown twice in space. Several Mercury capsules were used on multiple flights, including the capsule used on Mercury-Redstone 1 and Mercury-Redstone 1A, the Mercury capsule used on test flights Little Joe 5A and Little Joe 5B, and the Mercury capsule used on flights Mercury-Atlas 3 and Mercury Atlas 4, but none of these capsules surpassed the Kármán line on two separate flights.  Thus, Gemini SC-2 became the only reentry capsule of the United States to be reflown in space before SpaceX's Dragon.

The capsule was transferred to the Smithsonian Institution, as part of the National Air and Space Museum collection.

A mock-up of the Gemini B capsule was put on display in the Allan and Malcolm Lockheed and Glenn Martin Space Gallery at the National Museum of the USAF in 2016.

The flown Gemini SC-2 capsule was put on display in the exhibit hall of the Air Force Space and Missile Museum of the USAF in 2017.

Richard Browning (inventor). Richard Browning is a British inventor and the creator of the Daedalus Flight Pack "jet suit". He is the founder and chief test pilot of Gravity Industries, his company that designs and builds the invention.

Education
Browning was educated at Queen's College, a boarding and day independent school for boys (now co-educational) in the county town of Taunton in Somerset, followed by Cardiff University, where he initially studied engineering and then, after one semester, switched to exploration geology.

Career
Browning set out in 2016 to experiment with the concept “using the human mind to balance and control the body in flight structure”, adding power in the form of micro gas turbines (jet engines). His development journey, culminating in the first flight in November 2016, was the subject of a 2017 TED talk and the “Taking on Gravity” publication.

Browning received initial investment and launched the company Gravity Industries in April 2017 together with WIRED magazine and Red Bull. Public demonstrations of the invention included over 100 flight events across 33 countries. He was referred to as a "real-life Iron Man” by several media outlets.

TIME magazine featured the jet suit as amongst the best inventions of 2018.

Gravity Industries was recognized by Guinness World Record for the fastest flight in a body-controlled jet suit in November 2019 at 85 mph (135 kmph).

Gravity Industries received a $640,000 investment from Tim Draper and Adam Draper after the first public demonstration outside Draper Associates & Boost VC offices at Hero City in San Mateo.

Gravity Industries is now a permanent team of seven based in Salisbury, UK and has a support network around the world. The company business model includes TV & media work, commercial events & displays, brand collaborations, STEM initiatives, and public flight training & flight experiences in the UK and US. Gravity also has a wide range of partnerships with the UK, the US and European militaries, and a range of search & rescue organizations.

The company was planning to launch the Gravity Race Series in March 2020 in Bermuda, but this was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gravity's jet suit was named the Daedalus suit, a name chosen by Browning's son when he was aged eight, in reference to Daedalus of Greek mythology, although  the name is not used on the company's website.

Personal life
Prior to founding Gravity, Browning was a Royal Marines reservist for 6 years and an oil trader with British Petroleum for 16 years. He is married and has 2 children.

Jean-Dominique Warnier. Jean-Dominique Warnier (1920–1990) was an engineer in the Bull IT group.  He developed and disseminated an innovative approach to the study of information systems during the 1970s. His work aims to express the fundamental laws of the rational processing of data in the service of human activities.

The Warnier method combines two disciplines:
one scientific, by a rigorous application of mathematical logic;
the other humanist, by the organization of a harmonious collaboration between the respective aptitudes of man and automata.
This method applies to different areas such as: expression of needs, Systems design, programming, Computer production, organization of the company.

His discipline of reasoning, applied to the resolution of concrete problems, rests on three simple principles:

The data of a system constitute a "set" whose study is conducted by hierarchical subdivision.
The organization of the processing is deduced from the hierarchical structure of the data.
The sections to be used for the treatment are determined by the study of the outputs (results requested).

The Warnier/Orr diagram is named after him.
