C. F. Curtis 34126
No full textThe "C. F. Curtis" was a lumber hooker built by David Lester at Marine City, Michigan in 1882. She was of 532 gross tons. On November 19, 1914, while under the ownership fo Edward Hines Lumber Company of Chicago, Illinois, she was towing the barges "Annie M. Peterson" and Seldon E. Marvin," she was stranded near Grand Marais, Michigan in Lake Superior. After rounding Point Abbaye into Lake Superior, the vessel came onto a howling gale and blinding snow. The crew battled the elements through the entire day, meeting their fate during the night. All 28 hands (14 on the "Curtis") of all three vessels were lost. Two of the crew survived long enough to nearly make the shore. For several days thereafter, wreckage and fozen bodies washed ashore
Program for the Curtis Picture Musicale
No full textPrinted on title page: Edward S. Curtis. Author of "The North American Indian". Music composed by Henry F. Gilbert.
The program for Edward Curtis's "musicale" or "picture-opera" featuring a foreward by Curtis, dissolving slide shows, motion pictures and music. The music was composed by Henry Gilbert and based on the wax cylinder recordings Curtis had made of Native American music with his photographic subjects. This program which toured the country during the winter of 1911-1912 included such productions as "Dream of the Ancient Red Man", and "Evening in Hopi Land".

Curtis Type Non-Inductive Resistors
No full textIn response to a need for increasing precision in alternating current research, researchers at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) undertook an investigation into the behavior of resistance coils when subjected to alternating current voltage. Many commercial resistance coils performed well with direct currents, but could not measure alternating currents satisfactorily. Several NBS staff members were pioneers in developing special windings in which the turns were frequently reversed in direction to minimize inductance or capacitance in resistors used on alternating current. Later, manufacturers developed looms for weaving such resistors.
These two resistors, developed circa 1912 by Harvey L. Curtis of NBS and each of 1,000 ohms, were wound on a split cylindrical form so that the successive turns led the current around the form in opposite directions. The magnetic effects of the current were thus minimized, its inductance reduced to +30 microhenrys, while the difference of potential between adjacent turns, and hence the effective capacitance, was much smaller than in the more common bifilar winding.[H] 23 cm [W] 10.5 cm [L] 11.5 c
A deterministic algorithm for experimental design applied to tomographic and microseismic monitoring surveys
No full textMost general experimental design algorithms are either: (i) stochastic and hence give different designs each time they are run with finite computing power, or (ii) deterministic but converge to results that depend on an initial or reference design, taking little or no account of the range of all other possible designs. In this paper we introduce an approximation to standard measures of experimental design quality that enables a new algorithm to be used. The algorithm is simple, deterministic and the resulting experimental design is influenced by the full range of possible designs, thus addressing problems (i) and (ii) above. Although the designs produced are not guaranteed to be globally optimal, they significantly increase the magnitude of small eigenvalues in the model–data relationship (without requiring that these eigenvalues be calculated). This reduces the model uncertainties expected post-experiment. We illustrate the method on simple tomographic and microseismic location examples with varying degrees of seismic attenuation

Andrews–Curtis groups and the Andrews–Curtis conjecture
No full textFor an integer n at least two and a positive integer m, let C(n,m) denote the group of Andrews-Curtis transformations of rank (n,m) and let F denote the free group of rank n + m. A subgroup AC(n,m) of Aut(F) is defined, and an anti-isomorphism AC(n,m) to C(n,m) is described. We solve the generalized word problem for AC(n,m) in Aut(F) and discuss an associated reformulation of the Andrews-Curtis conjecture
