Alan Herries Wilson. Sir Alan Herries Wilson  (2 July 1906 – 30 September 1995), was a British mathematical physicist and industrialist. He developed the electronic band structure theory of solids to distinguish between conductors, insulator and semiconductors. After World War II, he left academic research to pursue a career in industry.

Life

Early life 
Alan Herries Wilson was born in 1906 in Wallasey, Cheshire, England, from a Scottish family. 

He was educated at Wallasey Grammar School and at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, obtaining a BA degree in mathematics in 1926. His graduate work was under the supervision of R. H. Fowler working on problems in quantum mechanics.

Band theory 
He studied with Werner Heisenberg on the application of quantum mechanics to electrical conduction in metals and semiconductors. During the period 1931–1932 Wilson formulated the electronic band theory explaining how energy bands of electrons can make a material a conductor, a semiconductor, or an insulator. In 1932 he was awarded the Adams Prize; the essay he wrote for this prize became the basis for his book The Theory of Metals published in 1936. His book Semi-conductors and Metals was published in 1939. Wilson supervised four graduate students in the study of solid-state physics during the 1930s, but Wilson perceived that interest in the field was small at Cambridge and so switched to the study of nuclear physics and cosmic rays.

Wilson was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1942 for his work in advancing the theory of conduction in metals and semiconductors. During the World War II he worked on radio communications problems for the Special Operation Executive (SOE), and was later attached to the British Tube Alloys project to develop the atomic bomb.

Private sector 
After the war he left academic research and became an industrialist, joining British textile company Courtaulds to supervise their research and development of artificial fibres. He continued his interest in mathematical physics and prepared the second edition of The Theory of Metals in 1953. He published Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics in 1957. Wilson served as the second President of the combined Institute of Physics and the Physical Society from 1962 to 1964. In 1962 he left Courtaulds due in part to a takeover bid by ICI and joined Glaxo, a pharmacy company, becoming chairman in 1963 until his retirement in 1973. During Wilson's time at Glaxo the company was successful in greatly expanding its business. Wilson was knighted in 1961.

Private life 
He was married in 1934 to Margaret Monks (Constance) (1908 – 8 June 1961), with two sons.

Honors 
There is now an Alan Wilson Research Fellowship at Emmanuel College.

Clermont Steel Fabricators. Clermont Steel Fabricators (abbreviated as CSF) is a private steel products manufacturing company known for making Bolliger & Mabillard roller coasters. The plant is located in Batavia, Ohio. CSF was founded in 2004 after the closing of Southern Ohio Fabricators. As of 2013, Clermont has 65 employees.

History
In 1989, Walter Bolliger asked Clermont's general manager, Ken Miller—who was then general manager of Southern Ohio Fabricators (SOF)—if he would be interested in manufacturing roller coasters for Bolliger's company, Bolliger & Mabillard of Switzerland. As a result, SOF manufactured its first coaster, Iron Wolf at Six Flags Great America. Prior to the project, SOF's main focus was manufacturing commercial and industrial buildings. In 2004, SOF closed and Miller and a group of investors bought the company, renaming it Clermont Steel Fabricators and making the decision to focus on coaster manufacturing.

The company manufactures other steel products, including turbine power bases and enclosures, heavy weldments, machine bases, structural steel, louvers and dampers, and industrial equipment.

Location
Clermont Steel Fabricators is situated in Batavia across Old State Route 32 from the former Ford Batavia Transmission plant which closed in 2008. Its main building has  of production space, and there is  of outdoor storage space surrounding it.

Coes Wrench Company. Coes Wrench Company  was a tool manufacturing company based in Worcester, Massachusetts. The company was originally part of the L. and A. G. Coes & Co.

The Coes Wrench Company was founded April 1, 1888.

Coes Wrench Company manufactured the screw type wrench invented by Loring Coes; this wrench is commonly known as a monkey wrench.

Early company history

Coes and his brother Aury Gates Coes worked for the firm of Kimball and Fuller, a firm that made machinery for the woolen industry.  In 1836 the Coes brothers purchased the business and formed the L. & A. G. Coes company as a partnership.  In October 1839 the facility where they worked was destroyed by a fire. The Coes brothers were unable to continue in businesses so they moved to Springfield, Massachusetts to work as pattern makers in the foundry of Laurin Trask.

Invention of the screw wrench
It was while they were living and working in Springfield that Loring Coes invented the screw wrench commonly known as the monkey wrench. Prior to the invention of the screw wrench, the two common wrenches of the time, the English patent wrench and the Merrick wrench (also known as the Springfield wrench), needed two hands to adjust, whereas the new screw wrench could be used and adjusted with one hand.

The Coes brothers sold their pattern for spinning machines that they had rescued from the fire that destroyed their plant, and used the money to pay for the patent on the screw wrench that Loring Coes was granted on April 16, 1841.

L. & A. G. Coes
After they were granted the patent for the screw wrench, the brothers company L. & A. G. Coes went back into operation and they began to manufacture their new wrench.

Merger
In 1888 Coes Wrench Company was merged with the Loring Coes & Company.

National Air College. The National Air College is an FAA Certified Flight Training Academy located on Montgomery Field (KMYF) in San Diego, California. It is the longest surviving civilian Flight Training School in San Diego. In fact, it is the only flight training facility on Montgomery Airfield which maintains its own aircraft on its own aircraft hangars. National Air College is also an FAA Certified Repair Station, employing its own mechanics.

The Story 
Nug Madariaga, owner and operator of National Air College, bought his first airplane (Model B Funk) in 1942, before serving 4 years in the U.S. Navy during WWII. After his enlistment, Nug headed to Flabob Airport in Riverside, of which his brother Flavio was part owner (Flavio's business partner was Bob Bogen - hence "Flabob Airport"). After completing his own flight training, Nug soon set up the first official flight training school at Flabob Airport.  Then, in 1957, Nug opened National Air College at Montgomery Airfield in San Diego. Operating in the same location ever since, NAC is the longest surviving civilian aviation training facility in San Diego. As well as being the owner of NAC, Nug himself holds certifications in all FAA Ratings (including... SEL, MEL, CFII, ATP, Helo), and served as an FAA Flight Examiner for 25 years.

Gregg Madariaga
Following in his father's footsteps early on, Gregg Madariaga was setting records at the age of sixteen. Montgomery Field was buzzing, not just with airplanes but with the media, when Gregg became the youngest pilot in the United States to solo in 38 different aircraft types. Then, at the age of 18, Gregg became not only the youngest helicopter pilot in the U.S., but also the youngest helicopter instructor as well! With his father as his CFI, Gregg received all of his ratings from NAC, and joined his father there as a flight instructor. The father & son pair flew air-taxi and military flight operations for some time to San Clemente and San Nicholas Islands. Gregg later became a Corporate Pilot and has since advanced from the Gulfstream-4 aircraft to the Global Express. And like his father before him, Gregg has now been an FAA Designated Examiner for over 25 years.

Training Offered 
National Air College offers training opportunities for every level of pilot proficiency. From Student Pilot to Airline Transport Pilot...

National Air College provides training which produces the finest quality aviators. NAC students from around the world have become NAC instructors, and many of them have been hired by professional airlines. National Air College has been an important part of the aviation community in San Diego for so long, that some former NAC students are even retiring from airlines today.

AN/MSQ-35 Bomb Scoring Central. The Reeves AN/MSQ-35 Bomb Scoring Central was a United States Air Force dual radar system with computerized plotting board. It was used by the 1st Combat Evaluation Group to evaluate the accuracy of Strategic Air Command bomber crews.

Description
The central had a 20 rpm Acquisition Radar System with a variable "fan-shaped beam" in elevation and an Interrogator Set AN/TPX-27 for identification friend or foe.  The central's  trailer van for operations had the separate AN/MSQ-54 Bomb Scoring Set with an automatic tracking radar group (OA-450/FSA-4 Receiver-Transmitter Control Group), a computer group with analog vacuum tube circuitry and on the roof, the antenna group.  A communications group provided a link for receiving the aircraft's signal at simulated bomb release, and additional vehicles included a V-280 maintenance van and a V-287 flatbed trailer for transporting the radar/IFF antennas.

Operation
In addition to providing a conventional plot of the aircraft bomb run, the computer group automated the previously manual "bomb plot" in which technicians used time-of-flight charts for air drag and drew lengths of line from the release point to the vacuum impact point and then to an estimate impact point for drag and crosswind.  By automatically using "ballistic data" such as time-of-fall to determine vacuum impact point, the AN/MSQ-35 computed bomb "score data [that was] printed out on tape" from a paper roll.

Development and training
The X-band Western Electric M-33 Fire Control System "was utilized as a basic building block" for the X-band AN/MSQ-35, and "techniques established during [the] AN/USQ-9 development program were utilized in the AN/MSQ-35 production program."  In 1962 the Reeves Instrument Corporation production facility hosted the first class for AN/MSQ-35 operators, and the central's field testing was in early 1963 at White Sands Missile Range.

Deployment
The AN/MSQ-35 military school was initially at the Aberdeen Proving Ground (where the M-33 school had been located) and the central eventually became the instructional radar used at the 40-week Keesler Air Force Base technical training school for Automatic Tracking Radar Specialists (AUTOTRACK).  The Final Engineering Report for the AN/MSQ-35 was published in December 1965 after it was used as the basis for developing the 1965 Reeves AN/MSQ-77 Bomb Directing Central with integrating computer for Combat Skyspot ground-directed bombing in the then-ongoing Vietnam War.

Wireless failover. Wireless failover is an automated function in telephone networks and computer networks where a standard hardwired connection is switched to a redundant wireless connection upon failure or irregular closure of a default hardwired connection or component in the network such as a router, server, or computer.

Wireless failover is a business continuity function. That is, it allows businesses to continue operations even in the event of a network failure. In retail, wireless failover is typically used when a standard connection for a point of sale credit card machine fails.  In this instance, the wireless failover allows business transactions to continue to be processed, ensuring business continuity.

Infrastructure
Wireless failover solutions are offered in different forms.  A radio may be installed into the network.  Examples of this may include a 3G or 4G network connection. Additionally, 3G or 4G network cards may be used.  Also, a router may be used with an Ethernet connection.

The Space Show. The Space Show is an Internet radio talk show about the development of outer space commerce and space tourism, and the issues impacting their development. It is also available archived online as a podcast. It airs 2 to 4 times per week, is hosted by Dr. David Livingston (born June 4, 1946), and features live guest interviews with call-in and email questions from listeners. 

According to Livingston, the show started in 2001 as Business without Boundaries on a small Arizona radio station, which added Internet audio streaming later. When the show moved to Seattle in 2002, it was renamed The Space Show and aired on, and streamed from, KKNW.

The Space Show has now presented over 4,000 shows.
Frequent guests on the show include:
science journalist and historian Robert Zimmerman,
physicist Dr. John Brandenberg,
and engineering professor Dr. Haym Benaroya.
Pete Worden, center director for NASA's Ames Research Center, described himself as a "reformed zealot" about space-based solar power systems on the show.

Livingston earned his MBA in 1978, and his Doctorate of Business Administration from Golden Gate University in 2001. Livingston and the show have been quoted by NBC News in 2006 and Fox News in 2009 regarding progress in civilian space funding and execution, specifically SpaceShipOne, and the reentry of the doomed Russian Phobos-Grunt Mars spacecraft in 2011.

The Space Show hosted, with Livingston moderating, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics panel review of the 2009 Augustine Commission on future U.S. human space flight.

Philip Harris has described the show as "a platform for knowledgeable, educational exchanges on humanity's space future and opportunities". In 2004, Fraser Cain, publisher of Universe Today and co-host of Astronomy Cast, described The Space Show as a "favorite" and that he was "astonished and jealous at the caliber of guests".

Anti-slip grating. Anti-slip steel grating (also known as slip-resistant grating) is a type of  bar grating designed to prevent slippage. Steel bar grating is manufactured in a variety of methods. Welded bar grating consists of load bars electrically fuse welded to cross bars. Pressure-locked bar grating, or swaged grating, is where steel rods are forced through and locked in load bars. Riveted bar grating is where the load bars are riveted to the cross bars. There are wide varieties of trade names for each type manufactured.

Types 
Perforated sheet metal types:
 Diamond-shaped serrated perforated sheet metal. Examples of trade names are Grip Strut, Diamond Grip, Ry, Diamond, Grip Span, Deck Span, Grip Track. 
 Round hole perforated sheet metal. Examples of trade names are Perf-o-grip, Safety-grip, Shur Grip, Ry-Grip, Open Grip and Grate Lock. 
 Raised dimple perforated sheet metal. Examples of trade names are Traction Tread, Safety Tread, Shur Step, Ry-Tread and Tread Grip.

Uses 
The  self-cleaning characteristics of plain surface grating make it suitable for the majority of applications. In the presence of fluids or materials that could cause the top surface of the grating to become wet or slippery, specification of the optional serrated surface should be considered. When serrated grating is specified, the bearing bar depth must be 1/4 inch greater than the sizes shown on the load tables to provide the equivalent strength of non-serrated gratings.
