Aviva Building

The building, in 2006

The Aviva Building is an office building in the city centre of York, in England.

The building lies by the River Ouse, on a prominent site in the centre of the historic city. It was designed by the Hurd Rolland Partnership, led by Brian Paul. Paul initially proposed a modern building, based around "tumble down masonry cubes" which would create a traditional skyline. The York Civic Trust successfully argued for a more traditional design, including gables and windows with mullions and transoms.

The octagonal tower, from Wellington Row

The building is six storeys high along the river, and four storeys along Tanner Row. It has an octagonal tower. The river and Tanners Moat facades are faced in Magnesian Limestone, and John Brooke Fieldhouse describes it as the city's only post-World War II building to be faced largely with quarried stone. The Tanner Row and rear facades are of brick. The ground floor is rusticated, and there are string courses at the first- and third-floor levels. At the rear, there is a rooftop car park.

Rear view of the building, showing some brickwork

The building was completed in 1993. Patrick Nuttgens wrote approvingly of the design as fitting in with the city's heritage, but Peter Davey writing in the Architectural Review criticised its facadism.

The building originally housed the regional headquarters of the General Accident insurance company.Aviva. In 2018, the stonework was cleaned.

Aviva Brecher

Aviva Brecher (born July 4, 1945) is a Romanian-American applied physicist and transportation scientist who studied magnetic levitation for many years at the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, a research center of the United States Department of Transportation.

Early life and education

Brecher was born on July 4, 1945, to a Jewish family in Bucharest, where her father was a gynecologist. Her family moved to Israel when she was 15. While attending high school in Israel, she meet and became involved with her future husband, Ken Brecher, a physics student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who had visited Israel to work with Nathan Rosen. After graduating as valedictorian from high school in Kiryat Haim, she began her university studies in applied physics at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, but transferred to MIT to be closer to Brecher, whom she married in Israel before moving to the US and becoming a naturalized US citizen.

As an MIT student, she began her studies in biophysics, working with Patrick David Wall and Jerome Lettvin on research leading to the invention of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, but switched to solid-state physics after being inspired by a course on the subject given by Mildred Dresselhaus, and did summer research with Benjamin Lax at the MIT Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory. She also became secretary of the MIT Israeli Student Association and active in the MIT branch of Hillel International.


Aviva Brecher

Although Lax invited Brecher to remain at MIT and to continue her work with him as a doctoral student, she was advised against this course of action by Dresselhaus, because the research would be classified and would channel her career into work at a federal defense laboratory. Instead, she became a doctoral student in applied physics at the University of California, San Diego, supported by an Amelia Earhart Fellowship, while her husband worked at UCSD as a postdoctoral researcher. Her official doctoral advisor was oceanographer Gustaf Arrhenius, the grandson and son-in-law of Nobel laureates Svante Arrhenius and George de Hevesy; she was also mentored at UCSD by another Nobel laureate, Hannes Alfvén. Her doctoral research included work on the formation of asteroids and meteorites, the interactions of this formation process with the magnetic field of the Solar System, and the possibility of chemical reactions in the interstellar medium. She completed her Ph.D. in 1972.

Career and later life

After completing her Ph.D., Brecher returned to MIT as a postdoctoral researcher in earth and planetary sciences,Moon rocks collected by the Apollo program. She became an assistant professor at Wellesley College from 1977 to 1980, while continuing to run her research program and occasionally lecture at MIT.

Unable to be considered for tenure at Wellesley, Brecher dropped out of academia in 1980 to become a risk assessment expert for the Arthur D. Little company, on projects including nuclear waste management, mining, and space exploration. In 1983 and 1984 she worked as a Congressional Science Fellow for senator Paul Tsongas, where her work included opposition to anti-satellite weapons and to the Strategic Defense Initiative.Boston University.

In 1986, Brecher became a researcher at the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, where her work included studies of magnetic levitation, unmanned aerial vehicles, and planning for potential transportation-related bioterrorism attacks,remote sensing, radiation exposure, prevention of drug trafficking, and air traffic control.

Recognition

In 1999, Brecher was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Forum on Physics and Society, "for her many contributions to society in the areas of transportation research, environmental mitigation and strategic arms control".Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer for 2002–2003.

Badkhal Lake

Badkhal Lake is a natural lake situated in Badkhal village near Faridabad, in the Indian state of Haryana, about 32 kilometers from the national capital of Delhi. Fringed by the hills of the Aravalli Range, this was a man-made embankment. Owing to unchecked mining in neighbouring areas, the lake began drying up two decades back and is now totally dried up. There are functional Haryana Tourism Corporation restaurants in the vicinity. A flower show is held every spring here. Its name is most probably derived from the Persian word beydakhal, which means free from interference. Close to Badkhal Lake is the Peacock Lake. It is a biodiversity area within the Northern Aravalli leopard wildlife corridor stretching from Sariska Tiger Reserve to Delhi.

Historical places around the lake include the 10th century ancient Surajkund reservoir (15 km north) and Anangpur Dam (16 km north), the similarly dried up Damdama Lake, Tughlaqabad Fort, Adilabad ruins and the Chhatarpur Temple.open pit mines in and around the sanctuary. It is contiguous to the seasonal waterfalls in Pali-Dhuaj-Kot villages of Faridabad,Mangar Bani hill forest and the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary.

History

The lake was built soon after the country got Independence in 1947 to facilitate water supply to the nearby farms. It was built by constructing a bund between two low-lying Aravalli hills, to trap run-off for irrigation. In 1972, the Government of Haryana built a 30-room resort off the lake, which was a major tourist attraction during the '70s through to the '90s, with boating and other activities. Migratory birds also used to visit the lake.

Construction boom in the National Capital Region drove quarrying and mining in the area at a large scale. As illegal mining and quarrying mushroomed, the downward water flow to the lake was not just obstructed, but aquifers were also damaged. In addition, deforestation and rampant borewell digging in the area owing to urbanisation worsened the situation, leaving the lake high and dry. A number of mineral water companies have also illegally sourced water from the lake.

Since 2009, the lake has been observed as completely dried up, leaving only grassy terrain. Unusually low rainfall in the area has also been cited.


Badkhal Lake

In January 2010, the lake and the nearby Surajkund was filled up with water in conjunction with 2010 Commonwealth Games. But in March 2014, in a survey report released by the Delhi Parks and Gardens Society (DPGS), under the Government of Delhi's department of environment, the lake was completely dry and completely dependent on rains for water. The report also revealed 190 of 611 water bodies in Delhi had also gone dry.

Renewal Efforts

The initial renewal efforts were entrusted with the state irrigation department. In 2017, they tried to replenish the lake bed by supplying water from the Okhla canal, but it was found to be an unviable option. The state government then approached Manav Rachna University in 2018, which prepared a report suggesting that Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) water may be used for the same. Afterwards, experts from Indian Institute of Technology-Roorkee were chosen to collect soil samples and conduct infiltration tests on the lake bed. They carried out a geo-technical survey of the lake under the Smart Cities Mission and submitted its report a year later.

A lake revival project worth Rs 79 crore was also taken up in 2018. This included the STP project which aims to fill up the lake with regular discharge from the plant to a level of 6 metre in 300 days. Worth Rs 30 crore, the project was sanctioned by the state government in November that year. But it was reported in October, 2019 that a delay in formal clearances by the Forest Department and the Pollution Control Board had halted all work.

As of 2019, various other measures are being discussed at the government level to restore the lake, but damaged aquifers, low groundwater level and disturbance of water catchment pathways cast aspersions. Environmental experts have called the governments plans a simple renovation, but not a full renewal.

Restoration

The film restoration of Badjao was completed in 2020. The restoration began with the 4K resolution digital scanning of the 35mm print with English subtitles from the collection of the LVN Pictures library stored at the state-of-the-art facilities of the ABS-CBN Film Archives, located at the basement of ELJ Communications Center in Diliman, Quezon City. According to the words from the ABS-CBN Film Restoration group, it was restored in 2K resolution and took 30 hours to eliminate the image impairments (namely scratches, specks, warps, and unstable images) digitally as well as color adjustments in order to make the restored film similar to the achieved brightness and contrast of the original print. According to ABS-CBN Film Restoration head Leonardo P. Katigbak, it was one of their best scans and restorations they ever did, owing to the better quality of the original print used for the restoration.

The 4K restored version was first premiered on September 6, 2020, through ABS-CBN's cable movie channel, Cinema One.

Arnold Lang

Arnold Lang (18 June 1855 – 30 November 1914) was a Swiss naturalist, a comparative anatomist and student of German biologist Ernst Haeckel.

Biography

In March 1876 he earned his PhD from the University of Jena, and two months later became habilitated as a privat-docent of zoology at the University of Bern. From 1878 to 1885 he was stationed at the Zoological Station in Naples, where he conducted research on wildlife native to the Gulf of Naples. In 1889 he became a professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at the University of Zurich and the Eidgenössische Polytechnikum as well as director of two institutions' zoological collections. From 1898 to 1900 he served as rector at the University of Zurich.

In the autumn of 1891, a European fellowship for the best graduate in class enabled American experimental biologist Lilian Vaughan Morgan to go to Europe and study muscles in chitons at the University of Zurich with Arnold Lang. Norwegian biologist Kristine Bonnevie studied under Arnold Lang in Zürich in the years 1898-99. He also taught zoologist Emily Arnesen and philosopher Heinrich Schmidt.

Works

By way of a suggestion from Ernst Haeckel, he published a translation of Jean Baptiste Lamarck's Philosophie zoologique into German (1876). From his research at Naples, he published in 1884 a massive monograph on Polycladida (marine flatworms), and from 1888 to 1894, he issued a textbook on the comparative anatomy of invertebrates that was subsequently translated into French and English.

Benhorn

Benhorn was a village in the old district of Fallingbostel, on the Heidmark in Lower Saxony in North Germany. It disappeared from the map in 1935/36, because the German Wehrmacht wanted to establish the Bergen-Hohne Training Area, today the largest military training area in Germany. The inhabitants were resettled.

History

In 1330 Benhorn was mentioned in the records for the first time. The village is named after the settlement of Benno's tribe (Benno being a Lombard personal name). In this record the estate in Benhorn is already mentioned. The farmers lived mainly from the keeping of moorland sheep, known as Heidschnucken, and from beekeeping.

Ancient oral tradition describes the region around Benhorn towards the east (as far as the Sieben Steinhäuser) as the most beautiful and primitive heathland in the eastern Heidmark.

At the time of its resettlement the population of Benhorn and the neighbouring hamlet of Ettenbostel was 173.

Bifort

The Bifort was a British automobile manufactured by the Bifort Motor Company in Fareham, Hampshire from 1914 until 1920. The 10 hp light car was assembled from bought-in components mainly imported. The 1327 cc engine was from Belgium and the chassis was French. Bifort built the bodies but few cars were made because of the outbreak of war.

After World War I, the owner of Bifort, Herbert White, started the Duple Motor Body company at Hornsey in North London which went on to become a major builder of bus bodies.

Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra

The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (WSO) is a Canadian orchestra based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Founded in 1947, the orchestra plays most of its concerts at the Centennial Concert Hall. Including travelling performances, the WSO presents an average of 80 concerts per year, and also provides orchestral accompaniment to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Manitoba Opera.

History

The WSO was established in 1947 and played its first concert on December 16, 1948 at the Civic Auditorium. Walter Kaufmann was the WSO's first music director from 1948 to 1958. Victor Feldbrill, the WSO's only Canadian music director to date, succeeded Kaufmann in 1958. The WSO initially performed out of the Civic Auditorium until April 1968, when the WSO moved to its present home in the 2,300-seat Centennial Concert Hall.

During the 1970s, the orchestra was conducted by former child protegy and Decca Records-recording artist Piero Gamba, who invited Mstislav Rostropovich, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Itzhak Perlman, and others to perform with the orchestra.Kazuhiro Koizumi, who conducted the orchestra through much of the 1980, including a number of recording sessions with CBC records. In 1992, then-music director Bramwell Tovey and the WSO's composer-in-residence Glenn Buhr, along with others, created the WSO's New Music Festival. In the 2011–2012 season, the WSO began the 'Sistema Winnipeg' programme, modelled after Venezuela's El Sistema, to provide music education to disadvantaged children in Winnipeg.

Andrey Boreyko was the WSO's music director from 2001 to 2006. During his tenure, the musicians experienced a labour lockout in December 2001, and the mass resignation of the orchestra's board in the winter of 2003.

In February 2006, Alexander Mickelthwate was named the WSO's eighth music director. He took up the post in September 2006, with an initial contract of 3 years.

In 2015, Daniel Raiskin first guest-conducted the WSO. In February 2018, the WSO announced the appointment of Raiskin as its next music director, effective with the 2018–2019 season.

Eberhard Zangger

Eberhard Zangger in the rock sanctuary Yazılıkaya, in 2018.

Eberhard Zangger (born 1958 in Kamen, West Germany) is a Swiss geoarchaeologist, corporate communications consultant and publicist. Since 1994 he has been advocating the view that a Luwian civilization existed in Western Asia Minor during the 2nd millennium BC. In 2014 he established the international non-profit foundation Luwian Studies, whose president he is.

Life and work

Eberhard Zangger at the Palace of Nestor, Greece, in 1998

Eberhard Zangger studied geology and paleontology at the University of Kiel and obtained a PhD from Stanford University in 1988.Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge (1988–91).Zurich, Switzerland, from where he participated in archaeological projects in the eastern Mediterranean each year until 1999.

Zangger began concentrating on geoarchaeology in 1982. His early research work and discoveries included the coastal situation of Dimini in Neolithic Central Greece, the extent of Lake LernaMycenaean river diversion and extent of the lower town of Tiryns,Asine,Pylos,Minoan Monastiraki in central Crete.

In 1992, Zangger suggested that Plato used an Egyptian version of a story about Troy for his legendary account of Atlantis.Trojan War and the war between Greece and Atlantis. He recognized similarities between the Sea People invasions and the aggressors described by Plato and he also saw parallels between the Sea People invasions and the Trojan War. In 1992 Zangger arrived at the conclusion that Troy must have been much bigger than the archeological scholarship had presumed, and that the city must have had artificial harbors inside the modern floodplain. In a 1993 article, Zangger listed many commonalities between Plato's description of Atlantis and different accounts of Troy as it looked in the late Bronze Age.


Eberhard Zangger

In 1994, Zangger presented a chronology of political and economic developments in the eastern Mediterranean during the 13th century BC.collapse of many countries around the eastern Mediterranean around 1200 BC. Zangger's overall research goal was to find an explanation for the end of the Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean around 1200 BC. In contrast to the archaeological scholarship of the time, Zangger attributed greater importance to the states in Western Anatolia that are known from Hittite documents, including the Luwian kingdoms Arzawa, Mira, Wilusa, Lukka and Seha River Land. In Zangger's view, if these petty kingdoms had stood united, they would have matched the economic and military importance of Mycenaean Greece or Minoan Crete.

In a review of the books The Flood from Heaven and Ein neuer Kampf um Troia in the Journal of Field Archeology, the US prehistorian Daniel Pullen of Florida State University emphasized Zangger's approach. Zangger, Pullen says, “applies the rigors of scientific methodology to explaining the end of the Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean.”

In his third book, Zangger turned to developments in the 12th century BC after the Trojan War.

In collaboration with the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources in Hannover, Zangger proposed a geophysical exploration of the plain of Troy to locate settlement layers and artificial port basins.

In the fall of 1999, Zangger became a business consultant specializing in corporate communications and public relations.

Luwian Studies Foundation

Since April 2014, Zangger is president of the board of trustees of the international non-profit foundation Luwian Studies. The commercial register of Canton Zurich (Switzerland) states as the foundation's purpose “the exploration of the second millennium BC in western Asia Minor and the dissemination of knowledge about it”.Ivo Hajnal, Jorrit Kelder, Matthias Oertle and Jeffrey Spier.


Eberhard Zangger

In May 2016, Luwian Studies went public with a website in German, English and Turkish. At the same time Zangger's book appeared: The Luwian Civilization – The missing link in the Aegean Bronze Age. As part of its research, the foundation has systematically catalogued over 340 extensive settlement sites of the Middle and Late Bronze Age in Western Asia Minor. These sites are presented in a public database on the website.

James Mellaart’s Estate

In June 2017, Zangger received unpublished documents from the estate of the British prehistorian James Mellaart, which the latter had marked to be of particular importance.Beyköy, 34 kilometers north of Afyonkarahisar in western Turkey. On the one hand there was a Luwian hieroglyphic inscription (“HL Beyköy 2”) on limestone which must have been composed around 1180 BC. Mellaart, however, only possessed a drawing of this inscription. According to Mellaart's notes, in addition to this, bronze tablets bearing Hittite texts in Akkadian cuneiform were also found at Beyköy (“Beyköy text”). These described the political events during almost the entire Bronze Age from the perspective of rulers in western Asia Minor. Mellaart only possessed English translations of these documents.

In December 2017, Zangger and the Dutch linguist Fred Woudhuizen published in the Dutch archeology journal Talanta the Luwian hieroglyphic drawings (including texts from Edremit, Yazılıtaş, Dağardı and Şahankaya) that were retrieved from Mellaart's estate.

Yazılıkaya

In June 2019 Zangger together with the archeologist and astronomer Rita Gautschy of the University of Basel, published a new interpretation of the Hittite rock sanctuary Yazılıkaya at Ḫattuša, according to which the sequence of rock reliefs in chamber A could have been used as a lunisolar calendar.

Steelfactory is the sixteenth studio album by U.D.O., released on 31 August 2018 by AFM Records. It is the first album to feature Udo Dirkschneider's son Sven as the new drummer. The first single "Rising High" was made available for streaming on 15 June 2018.Steelfactory is the final album to feature bassist Fitty Wienhold when he announced his departure in September 2018.

Album Information

Udo Dirkschneider says that the musical direction of Steelfactory is influenced by the touring of when the band performed under the name Dirkschneider from 2015 to 2018, during which at the time they only played Accept songs, "it's definitely an influence and also a feeling if you start songwriting. But I don't have a problem with this. [Laughs]"

Recording and writing

U.D.O. started work on the album in March 2017 after performing in North America. The music was composed by all members of the band, as opposed to the albums Steelhammer and Decadent, which was mainly composed by Dirkschneider and bassist Fitty Weinhold. Dirkschneider says that there was not a set goal on what type of sound he wanted to have, "We just start working on a new album and see what's coming up. Sometimes it's a little bit more aggressive; sometimes it's a little bit more melodic; sometimes you put keyboards into that, whatever. This time, I think on the whole album, it's a good mix of songs. We have really fast songs, uptempo songs, mid-tempo songs, ballads, everything." He says that Steelfactory has an influence of Accept.

Shonan Adela

Shonan Adela (Japanese: ショウナンアデラ, foaled 10 February 2012) is a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She was the best two-year-old filly in Japan in 2014 when she won her last three races including the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies and was the unanimous choice for the JRA Award for Best Two-Year-Old Filly. Her later career was badly disrupted by injury and made only three disappointing appearances over the next three seasons.

Background

Shonan Adela is a bay mare with a white blaze and four white socks bred in Hokkaido, Japan by the Shimokobe Farm. During her racing career she was owned by Tetsuhide Kunimoto and trained by Yoshitaka Ninomiya.

She was from the fifth crop of foals sired by Deep Impact, who was the Japanese Horse of the Year in 2005 and 2006, winning races including the Tokyo Yushun, Tenno Sho, Arima Kinen and Japan Cup. Deep Impact's other progeny include Gentildonna, Harp Star, Kizuna, A Shin Hikari, Marialite and Saxon Warrior.Kentucky and won minor race in the United States before being bought for $310,000 by Shimokobe Farm in November 2009 and exported to Japan in the following year.Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and was a half-sister to Anabaa.

Racing career

2014: two-year-old season

Shonan Adela began her racing career by finishing a close second to the colt Navion in a 1600-metre event over 1600 metres at Niigata Racecourse on 3 August. After a two-month break she returned for a maiden race over the same distance at Tokyo Racecourse and recorded her first success as she won from Meisho Sawayaka and sixteen others. The filly followed up in the Karamatsu Sho over 1400 metres at the same track, winning by half a length from the colt Daitokyo.


Shonan Adela

At Hanshin Racecourse on 14 December Shonan Adela was stepped up to Grade 1 class for the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies, Japan's most prestigious race for two-year-old females, and started at odds of 8.8/1. Roca was made favourite ahead of Let's Go Donki, Caught Charmant (Rindo Sho) and Kokorono Ai (Artemis Stakes) in an eighteen-runner field.Masayoshi Ebina Shonan Adela started slowly and raced towards the rear of the field before making a forward move on the final turn. She was switched to the outside in the straight and produced a strong late run to catch Let's Go Donki in the final strides and win by half a length. Ebina commented "She didn't break well, but I decided to keep cool and take this opportunity to race her from a little further back than usual. Just as I had anticipated, she had a great late speed and although she was a bit green when crowded by other fillies, we were able to come out following the runner-up for a clear run. I knew that she could make it once we hit the gas".

In January 2015 Shonan Adela was named Best Two-Year-Old Filly at the JRA Awards for 2014, being the unanimous choice of the 285 voters.

Later career

After being kept off the track by injury for the spring and summer of 2015, Shonan Adela was expected to begin her second season in the Rose Stakes in September but sustained a leg fracture in training and missed the rest of the season.

Shonan Adela belatedly returned for the Victoria Mile in 2016 at Tokyo on 15 May. Running for the first time in seventeen months she started a 34/1 outsider and came home sixteenth of the eighteen runners, seventeen lengths behind the winner Straight Girl. On her only other start of the year she finished sixth behind Win Full Bloom in a Listed race at Fukushima Racecourse on 24 July. The mare returned for one final run in April 2017 when she finished last of the sixteen runners behind Logi Chalice in the Grade 3 Lord Derby Challenge Trophy at Nakayama Racecourse.

Aiguille Blanche de Peuterey

The Aiguille Blanche de Peuterey (4,112 m) is a mountain of the Mont Blanc massif in Italy. It is considered the most difficult and seriousalpine 4000-m mountains to climb.

There are three tops to the mountain:

  * Pointe Güssfeldt (4,112 m)
  * Pointe Seymour King (4,107 m)
  * Pointe Jones (4,104 m)

The three tops are named after Paul Güssfeldt, Henry Seymour King and Humphrey Owen Jones.

Ascents

The highest point, Pointe Güssfeldt, was first climbed by Henry Seymour King with guides Emile Rey, Ambros Supersaxo and Aloys Anthamatten on 31 July 1885.

In July 1882, Francis Maitland Balfour, a young English professor, lost his life whilst attempting the as-yet-unclimbed summit of the Aiguille Blanche along with his guide Johann Petrus (an uncle of Joseph Knubel). C. D. Cunningham and Emile Rey watched anxiously and silently as the pair set off on the 18th,

Together with its neighbour – the Aiguille Noire de Peuterey (3,773 m) – the Aiguille Blanche forms part of the Peuterey ridge that leads, via the summit of the Grand Pilier d'Angle, to the summit of Mont Blanc. James Eccles, with guides Alphonse and Michel Payot, made the first ascent of the upper part of the ridge during their first ascent of Mont Blanc de Courmayeur on 31 July 1877.Paul Güssfeldt with Emile Rey, Christian Klucker and César Ollier on 15–19 August 1893 (the second ascent was a week later by Klucker and John Percy Farrar). The first ascent of the complete ridge including the Aiguille Noire de Peuterey (the Intégrale) was on 28–31 July 1934 by Adolf Göttner, Ludwig Schmaderer and Ferdinand Krobath.

Eberhard Zwicker

Karl Eberhard Zwicker (15 January 1924, in Öhringen, Germany – 22 November 1990, in Icking) was a German acoustics scientist and full professor at the Technical University of Munich.

Zwicker studied physics and electrical engineering at the University of Stuttgart and was an assistant of Richard FeldtkellerTechnical University of Munich.

Zwicker developed a method for the computation of loudness, which became a German standard, DIN 45631.

Zwicker, together with Richard Feldtkeller, was author of the standard work for psychoacoustics Das Ohr als Nachrichtenempfänger. (The Ear as Message Receiver).

In 1964, at Bell Labs, he discovered the Zwicker tone auditory illusion.

William Henry Bristol

Photo of the resting place of William H Bristol and his wife, in Riverside Cemetery, Waterbury, CT.

William Henry Bristol (July 5, 1859–June 18, 1930) was an inventor, manufacturer, educator, and environmentalist. Bristol was born in Waterbury, Connecticut.

After graduating from the Stevens Institute of Technology in 1884 with an engineering degree, he returned there in 1886 as an instructor and progressed to become a professor of mathematics in 1899. While at Stevens, he patented products including a steel lacing for industrial belts and a pressure chart recorder. The need to manufacture these products led to the founding of the Bristol Company in 1889 with his brother, Franklin, and his father, Benjamin. By 1915, the company was manufacturing the largest and most complete line of industrial instruments in the world, including instruments to measure and record temperature, electricity, pressure, motion, time, flow, and humidity. These instruments were the first to provide an uninterrupted history of manufacturing plant operations; increasing efficiency, improving quality, and allowing higher rates of productivity.

He was awarded the John Scott Medal in 1890. Edward Longstreth Medal from the Franklin Institute in 1894.

In 1904, Professor Bristol invented the first practical pyrometer for measuring high temperatures. This created another new industry and led to the formation of the William H. Bristol Pyrometer Company in New York City.

In 1915, he invented the “Bristolphone” to simultaneously record voices and other sounds with motion in moving pictures. He founded the William H. Bristol Talking Picture Corporation to develop “synchronized talking motion pictures,” and produced one of the first full-length motion pictures with sound. The Bristolphone was used in nearly one hundred movie houses in the U.S. He also developed and manufactured loud speakers, power amplifiers, radios and phonograph recorders. His “Audiophone,” which was used at Yankee Stadium and Grand Central Station in New York, revolutionized public address systems.

William Bristol was awarded medals at expositions in Chicago (1893), Paris (1900), Saint Louis (1904), San Francisco (1915) and Philadelphia (1926).
