J7J17___ 3 PREFACE The Documents Department of the KSC Library has frequently been asked if there were available any number of lists con- taining acronyms, abbreviations, initials, code words and phrases generally used at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC). After a careful search, only KSC GP-334, KSC Scheduling Abbreviation Glossary, was found. Therefore, to meet the need of the KSC Community, the Documents Department prepared KSC GP-589, the first selective list of - acronyms and abbreviations, with the issue date of October 28, 1969. This issue is the fourth revision to that list and is the most comprehensive one yet available in this format at KSC. More than twelve thousand one hundred (12,100) entries are identified in this revision. Comments and suggestions concerning entries and the useful- ness of this list are welcomed by the Documents Department of the KSC Library. (Miss)H. C.

  • Computer Conservation Society
    Issue Number 52 Autumn 2010 Computer Conservation Society Aims and objectives The Computer Conservation Society (CCS) is a co-operative venture between the British Computer Society (BCS), the Science Museum of London and the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Manchester. The CCS was constituted in September 1989 as a Specialist Group of the British Computer Society. It is thus covered by the Royal Charter and charitable status of the BCS. The aims of the CCS are: To promote the conservation of historic computers and to identify existing computers which may need to be archived in the future, To develop awareness of the importance of historic computers, To develop expertise in the conservation and restoration of historic computers, To represent the interests of Computer Conservation Society members with other bodies, To promote the study of historic computers, their use and the history of the computer industry, To publish information of relevance to these objectives for the information of Computer Conservation Society members and the wider public. Membership is open to anyone interested in computer conservation and the history of computing. The CCS is funded and supported by voluntary subscriptions from members, a grant from the BCS, fees from corporate membership, donations, and by the free use of the facilities of both museums. Some charges may be made for publications and attendance at seminars and conferences. There are a number of active Projects on specific computer restorations and early computer technologies and software.

  • Goodyear – Civilian Blimps
    Goodyear – civilian blimps Peter Lobner, 24 August 2021 1. Introduction Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company began their involvement with lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicles in 1912, when the company developed a fabric envelope suitable for use in airships and aerostats. The first blimps manufactured by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company were B-Type blimps ordered by the US Navy in 1917 for convoy escort duty. Goodyear (envelope supplier) and Curtiss Aeroplane (gondola supplier) produced 9 of the 17 B-Type blimps ordered. Goodyear also supplied the envelopes for some of the Navy’s 10 C-Type patrol blimps, which were delivered in 1918, after the end of WW I. Both the B- and C-Type blimps used hydrogen as the lift gas. In 1923, Goodyear teamed with German firm Luftschiffbau Zeppelin and created a new subsidiary, Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation. In June 1925, their Type AD Pilgrim (NC-9A) made its first flight and became Goodyear’s first blimp to use helium lift gas. Pilgrim was certified later in 1925, becoming the first US commercial airship. Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation filed a patent application for a nonrigid airship in September 1929, describing the objectives of their invention as follows: “This invention relates to non-rigid airships, and it has particular relation to the suspension of pilot cars or gondolas from the envelopes of non-rigid airships. The principal object of the invention is to provide a non-rigid airship in which the envelope and the pilot car or engine car are so constructed as to offer the minimum air resistance. Another object of the invention is to provide connections between the envelope and pilot car that are not exposed to the airstream for sustaining the weight of the pilot car, as well as stabilizing it against lateral or longitudinal movement.” 1 In patent Figure 1, the pressurized lift gas envelope (10) contains an air ballonet (12, for adjusting airship buoyancy) and a load suspension system for carrying and distributing the weight of the gondola (11) affixed under the envelope and the thrust loads from the with attached engines.

  • FEATURED: J 80 Fleet
    AUSTIN YACHT CLUB TELLTALE October 2020 AYC October Surprise – Fall Fling Fleet Regatta FEATURED: J 80 Fleet J80s upwind, October 2020 informal race, skippers left to right: David Wahlberg, Mark Foster, Terry Schertz Photo by Bill Records Message from the Commodore How to Be a Part of the Process Recently some members have questioned how to bring their ideas for and concerns about the Club to the attention of the Board of Directors. How do they gain insight into how decisions are made and how priorities are set? The individual Commanders (Harbor, Race, Buildings & Grounds, Sail Training) and their committees are the first line of access to the Board for issues/ideas that fall within their purview. Operational issues about the day to day workings of the Club or facilities should be brought to the attention of the General Manager and the Commodore. The Vice Commodore is the contact for AYC regattas. The Secretary is the contact for the Directory and Website and the Past Commodore is the contact for Membership issues. For large projects that may take a few years to put aside the necessary funding, the Long Range Planning Committee is involved. Please engage with the appropriate Commander or group if you have an idea for the Club or if you have a concern. Please remember that the Commanders are all volunteers, it may take them a few days to get back to you. The Commanders will assess and address issues that can be dealt with in the short term. For items that require expenditures over $1,500 or are a capital improvement and add assets to the Club, Board approval is required.
