[Engraved on card]: Thank You
Over and over again!
[Handwritten inside card]: Bryant Service Club,
Thanks for the Christmas letter and the box of candy. It is swell to read of people you’ve known.
Hope everything is fine at school.

Second Lt. Howard D. Spalding
7 Jan, 1944
Dear Bryant Service Club,
The letter I received from you is certainly proof of Uncle Sam’s complete mail coverage. Your letter was sent to my basic school in Greenwood Miss., I left there May 28th since then I’ve been to Columbus Miss for advance, went home from there on Aug 4 for ten days. Then back to Hendricks field Florida where I had B-17 transition or first pilot, then home again, and then to Lincoln Class. + Rank Post for assignment at Lincoln Nebraska, I spent a month there then came here.
Sioux City is a plane and combat crew training school. Here I received my 11 men crew and all our final training. Feb 13th I leave here for Lincoln where we get overseas assignments.
So a lot has happened since Greenwood!!! This is the best field I have ever been on. My crew is perfect and everything is going along fine.
Most of our work here is ground school and flying, formation flying usually. The other day we flew a 10 ship formation at 20,000 to Le Crosse + Des Moine. We had 5 land at Des Moine because our gas was so low. We got back to the field just before it closed. Luck was riding [?].
Well I guess that’s allLt. Howard Spalding

UNITED STATES ARMY AIR FORCES
Sept. 5Sunday-
Dear Bryant Service Club,
I received your letter and immediately put the list of addresses to use. I found out where lots of my college friends were by read [sic] it.
I’m down here at Nashville to be classified. Yesterday I was classified as a pilot and issued my new cadet uniform. Of course we haven’t been sitting around. In 8 days we had KP three times, dinner detail once, and butcher detail once. They say it’s a good for our discipline [sic].
Thanks for the information.

Aspects of the Romano-British landscape around holme on Spalding moor, east Yorkshire
No full textAn examination was undertaken of the nature and extent of Romano-British settlement and industry in the context of the landscape around Holme on Spalding Moor. An environmental reconstruction of the study area was made, showing it to be marginal, low lying and prone to wetness. The most suitable land for exploitation were the ridges of Aeolian sands. Systematic field survey over an 8 x 8 km square, together with cropmark evidence showed that site distribution was closely related to soil type, watercourses and other environmental constraints. A total of 106 Romano-British kiln and settlement sites, 49 sites with iron working or manufacture and several with evidence for glass working were discovered from fieldwalking, examination of museum collections and archives and excavations. Worked flints and stone axes showed that there had been activity on the sand ridges near to watercourses since the Neolithic. The data suggests that settlement was intensified during the later Iron Age with iron working and manufacture being undertaken especially near the dendritic creek system in which the Hasholme Iron Age log boat sank. The Romano-British pottery industry seems to have built up around the same creek system, which provided a means of distribution to Shiptonthorpe, Brough and other Romano-British settlements further afield. Fabric and form analysis of local wares when compared with pottery of known date showed that production began in the later 2nd century A.D., reaching a peak in the mid fourth.Clay was plentiful and managed woodland may have provided fuel for furnaced based industries. Settlement types showed little change from the late Iron Age, but followed developments paralleled elsewhere, with some degree of Romanisation. Marine flooding did not cause the decline of industry and settlement in the area as has been previously suggested. It is possible that these settlements formed the basis of the hamlets within the parish of Holme on Spalding Moor, although continuity has yet to be proved

Dear Bryant Service Club,
I guess it\u27s about time I used some of my penmanship I was trying to improve in Bryant and thank you for the Easter box. The boys and myself enjoyed it very much. A surprise package is always something to think about.
Now I am in Basic Flying training school at Greenwood, Mississippi! We are just finishing and we\u27ll go to advanced soon. I here [sic] from Bill Bliven quite often. He was up there a little while ago. Said it seemed quite different. Lots of new faces. Be we all belong to Bryant!
Thanks again for the candy and if I ever get home I\u27ll be sure to drop in at Bryant.
So Long,Howard Spalding[Transcription ends

Dear Sirs:
I received your package yesterday in the morning mail call. Thanks a lot, it was a complete suprise [sic] to me because it was my first gift from Bryant.
Today 120 men shipped from here to get to Nashville to be classified. This is the second shipment we have had from here. I’ll see one more bunch go then I’ll go.
It is swell up here. It is nothing like the real army. It’s almost like going to Bryant except you don’t go home, ever! – and we have PT (physical trg) every day, Mon – Sat.
PT is the next thing on the schedule today. We’ve got to climb a mountain again. PT here always ends with something to make you exzert [sic] yourself to the maximum!
I have enclosed a copy of our detachment paper. I thought it would give a good overall picture of what we do as to sports, etc.
The bell will ring pretty soon now for PT so I guess I’d better mail this.
Thanks again for the swell package!
Sincerely, Howard Spalding Bryant ‘43 [Transcription ends
Basketball was born here by Joseph D. Bates (1956)

EFFECTS OF FIRM-SPECIFIC FACTORS ON R&D EXPENDITURES OF AGRIBUSINESS COMPANIES
No full textThe objective of this paper is to determine how the firm's infrastructure, the financial characteristics of a company (net income, sales), and the organizational structure (number of acquisitions, age of establishment of the firm) affect R&D investments in the agricultural sector. We use data for companies under the SIC codes for agricultural chemicals, and crop planning and protection. The results based on analysis of 69 observations of 12 firms revealed that firm's financial and organizational infrastructure does affect its R&D expenditures. Older and larger firms tend to spend more on R&D. During the last 17 years the R&D expenditures with respect to the sales of the company have been reduced. Finally, contrary to the expectations, previous year's profit margins are negatively correlated with the R&D over the sales ratio of the following year.Manufactured Housing; R&D, agriculture, chemicals, crop planning, crop protection, agribusiness, expenditures
A tribute to D. B. Spalding and his contributions in science and engineering
No full textThis paper presents a summary of some of the scientific and engineering contributions of Prof. D.B. Spalding up to the present time. Starting from early work on combustion, and his unique work in mass transfer theory, Spalding\u2019s unpublished \u2018\u2018unified theory\u201d is described briefly. Subsequent to this, developments in algorithms by the Imperial College group led to the birth of modern computational fluid dynamics, including the well-known SIMPLE algorithm. Developments in combustion, multi-phase flow and turbulence modelling are also described. Finally, a number of academic and industrial applications of computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer applications considered in subsequent years are mentioned.Dans le pr\ue9sent article, on pr\ue9sente un r\ue9sum\ue9 des contributions scientifiques et techniques du professeur D. B. Spalding. En commen\ue7ant par ses premiers travaux sur la combustion et son travail unique sur la th\ue9orie du transfert de masse, on d\ue9crit bri\ue8vement la \uab th\ue9orie unifi\ue9e \ubb non publi\ue9e de Spalding. Apr\ue8s cela, des d\ue9veloppements sur les algorithmes r\ue9alis\ue9s par le groupe de l\u2019Imperial College ont conduit \ue0 la naissance de la dynamique des fluides num\ue9rique moderne, y compris de l\u2019algorithme bien connu SIMPLE. On d\ue9crit aussi des d\ue9veloppements dans les domaines de la combustion, de l\u2019\ue9coulement multiphasique et de la mod\ue9lisation de la turbulence. Finalement, on mentionne un certain nombre d\u2019applications de recherche et d\u2019applications industrielles de la dynamique des fluides num\ue9rique et du transfert de chaleur ayant fait l\u2019objet d\u2019\ue9tude dans les ann\ue9es ult\ue9rieures.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
