Oral History Interview with Jack Wright
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Jack Wright. Wright was born in Ralls County, Missouri on 21 May 1922. After graduating from high school he enrolled at Southwest Texas College in San Marcos. In November 1941he entered into the V-7 Navy College Training Program. Upon being called into active duty, he went to Columbia University in New York. After four months he was graduated as a commissioned officer. During 1943, after attending several gunnery schools he was assigned to the USS Milwaukee (CL-5) as a gunnery officer. He tells of the ship being part of a large convoy which went to Murmansk, Russia. Upon its arrival, the ship was loaned to the Soviet Navy. Wright trained the Russian crew for thirty days before being sent to Scotland. In Scotland he was assigned the job of preparing a US coastal steamer for Operation Overlord. After the invasion, the ship was anchored off Omaha Beach where it served as a headquarters ship. He returned to the United States aboard the HMS Queen Mary in late 1944. In January 1945, he went aboard the USS Antietam (CV-36). The ship was on its way to Wake Island at the time of the Japanese surrender. In December 1945 he was ordered back to the United States and released from active duty

In this interview, the subject discusses the Kettering Bug, wind tunnels, first earth invector compass, a practical joke with a gyroscope, testing, patent and postwar developments on the Bug, the Geman V-1 in World War II, a Smithsonian incident regarding the Wright brothers, Charles F. Kettering, and no-knock gasoline

Soil and permafrost distribution, soil characterisation and soil vulnerability to human foot trampling, Wright Valley, Antarctica
No full textSoils and shallow permafrost in Wright Valley, Antarctica were mapped at a scale of 1:50 000 to depict their spatial distribution, and sampled to determine the main drivers for the soil classification.
In the cold desert of Wright Valley the Gelisol order of Soil Taxonomy was used to classify the soils. Soils on younger surfaces, associated with Lower Wright Glacier, Upper Wright Glacier and alpine glaciers, contain massive ice within 100 cm of the soil surface and are classified as Glacic Haplorthels or Glacic Haploturbels where there is field evidence of cryoturbation. As a generalization, at either end of the valley, soil moisture recharge from moist coastal air masses (eastern end) and blowing snow drifts maintain the depth to permafrost in which ice-cement occurs at 70 cm, are classified as Salic or Typic Anhyorthels or, where there is field evidence of cryoturbation, Anhyturbels.
While mapping soils in Wright Valley, the distribution and nature of the shallow permafrost were also investigated. Three classes of permafrost were established to coincide with definitions or conditions within Soil Taxonomy viz: permafrost with ice-cement at 70 cm, and massive ice.
A definition for a petrosalic horizon is proposed based on the properties of a salic horizon and the indurated nature of petrocalcic/petrogypsic horizons. The horizon is likely to occur only in the cold desert climate zones of Antarctica.
A rapid method to determine soil vulnerability to human foot traffic was developed. As vulnerability is the product of disturbance and rehabilitation, the method is based on the disturbance of 10 foot prints at a site multiplied by a soil rehabilitation factor based on the soil weathering stage. Although fine-grained aeolian sands are easily disturbed they also rehabilitate rapidly in the windy conditions of Wright Valley. In contrast, old stable soils have a tight cobbly desert pavement with reddish desert varnish and often show less foot print disturbance. When cobbles are overturned, however, fresh rock with thick salt accumulations and without desert varnish is exposed. It takes much time for the desert varnish to re-establish.
The spatial distribution of Soil Taxonomy soil classes, nature of the permafrost and soil vulnerability to human traffic are presented as three separate maps at 1:50 000 scale and as live GIS files
