Peter V. Karpovich Story chapter VII notes
No full textThis is a six page document written by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich that looks to be a rough draft and some notes for his memoir, the Peter V. Karpovich Story, Chapter VII. At the top of the first page is written "Sept 1970 answers to Raum's questions." The transcription of "Raum" is in doubt. The document talks about his present health and fitness, including recovery from neuritis in both arms and how he hurt his back ten years ago. He also writes about his hobbies, such as painting and fishing, his experiments and the equipment he designed, how Nicolas, his brother, gave a magic show to his class when he was seven and how he has used this method in his teaching of science to others, and finally how he has no plans for the future except to live in peace and be with family.For more information on Peter V.

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, painting by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich, 1935
No full textThis is a painting of Ivan Petrovich Pavlov by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich.For more information on Peter V. Karpovich, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/571
Pavlov was a Russian physiologist known primarily for his classical conditioning. He enrolled in the physics and mathematics faculty at the University of Saint Petersburg in 1870 to take the course in natural science. He won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1904. He is most famous for the "conditioned reflex" in which he examined the rates of salivation among dogs. He learned that dogs would salivate when food was presented and a metronome sound was made. The dog later came to associate the metronome sound with the presentation of food.Painting has been damaged since digitization. Cardboard painted on bent and has cracked surface
Report of Week in Boston, Peter V. Karpovich
No full textThis is a report written by Peter V. Karpovich about a week that he spent in Boston. The report is undated. The report talks about his visit with a Dr. Cannon, perhaps Walter Bradford Cannon, of the Harvard Medical School and a visit to his facilities. Karpovich describes Cannon and his work. He also talks about a Dr. A. Forbes and his use of a Kymograph, used in many devices created by Karpovich. He also visits the then Peter Bent Brigham Hospital as well as the library and other laboratories at Harvard at the time. Of greatest importance though might be the bit about his questioning Dr. Cannon on effective apparatus for measuring speed and force of swimmers. From this questioning he felt it validated the "Natograph" that he created, very cheaply from a flour can bought at five and dime store. One other visit of interest included going to the Fatique Laboratory at Harvard where he was shown examples of their use of the X-ray to study the heart, including pictures of a boxer's heart before and after a bout.For more information on Peter V.

Swimming Speed Analyzed, materials from experiments by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich
No full textThis is a poster of the results and explanations from a paper that was published in the Scientific American in 1930 called "Swimming Speed Analyzed" by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich. The paper was based on experiments conducted by Dr. Karpovich.The poster has sections of the original article that have been cut out and glued onto a cardboard backing. Included is a picture and description of the Natograph, equipment that Karpovich designed and built for the experiment. It expressed graphically the measurements of speed for the different swimming strokes. The back, crawl, side, and breast stroke were all studied. There is also a nice description of how the machine worked.For more information on Peter V. Karpovich, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/57
Film of men walking with backpacks, from experiments done by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich
No full textThis is a short film of experiments conducted by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich. The film shows two men walking. One man wears a backpack with most of the weight up on the shoulders, the other wears a backpack with most of the weight on the lower back. In both, the men have little dots on their knees, hips, shoulders and ankles and they are walking on a treadmill in front of graph with numbers on it. The film is not dated, though these experiments may have been conducted when Dr. Karpovich served as the Chief of the Laboratory of Physical Fitness at the School of Aviation Medicine, Army Air Force. He held this position from 1941-1945. The film is a digital copy of the original 16mm black and white silent film. There are no markings on the reel.For more information on Peter V. Karpovich, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/571This file is shown in 30 frames per second
Water Resistance in Swimming, materials from experiments by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich
No full textThis is a poster of the results and explanations from a paper that was published in The Research Quarterly in 1933 called "Water Resistance in Swimming" by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich. The paper was based on experiments conducted by Dr. Karpovich on establishing a baseline for the resistance of water. The poster has sections of the original article that have been cut out and glued onto a cardboard backing. Pictured is the resistogram, the device that Karpovich designed and built to record his measurements. This consisted of a towing cord, a drum and a recording device. The measurements were made for up to 1/20th of a second.For more information on Peter V. Karpovich, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/57

Film of man walking with backpack, from experiments done by Peter V. Karpovich
No full textThis is a short film of experiments conducted by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich. The film shows a man walking with and without a backpack. At various times the weight of the backpack is either high on the shoulders or on the lower back. There are also times were the man is stopped or walking without a backpack. At one point a man comes and adds or removes an object from the backpack. The man is walking on a treadmill in front of graph with numbers on it. The film is not dated, though these experiments may have been conducted when Dr. Karpovich served as the Chief of the Laboratory of Physical Fitness at the School of Aviation Medicine, Army Air Force. He held this position from 1941-1945. The film is a digital copy of the original 16mm black and white silent film. There are no markings on the reel.For more information on Peter V.
