1910231311910. Aviation Women's Employment Women's aviation mixed archive spanning 1910 to 1978 documenting how female aviators entered public view through early parachute imagery press photography formal licensing and later commemorative print culture. Notably the 1930 British Empire aviator's certificate issued to Beatrice Garvan Sheridan and the 1932 Associated Press photograph of Amelia Earhart at a London dinner of the Royal Aeronautical Society where the typed verso explicitly identifies her as both the first woman to fly the Atlantic and the first woman guest at that event. Placed beside an earlier parachute photograph centered on a woman in an aviator's cap and a later signed letter from Alaska Ninety Nines member Mary Worthylake the group documents women entering aviation through licensing public spectacle and elite institutions that had been built almost entirely for men.<br /> Archive of 5 items spanning London New York and Woodburn Oregon including 3 original photographs 1 aviator's certificate and 1 typed letter signed circa 1910-1978 all documenting the early women of aviation and the public and institutional record of female flight; materials range in size from 3 x 4 inches to 7 x 11 inches.<br /> 1 Unidentified parachute photograph. Circa 1910. Original black and white photograph showing two men and one woman outdoors with a parachute; the woman stands forward at center wearing an aviator's cap while the men hold parachute fabric at either side. The image appears to predate the First World War and documents an early moment in parachute exhibition or demonstration culture before women's participation in aerial descent had become widely standardized through commercial and military aviation.<br /> 2 Federation Aeronautique Internationale. British Empire. Aviator's Certificate. August 6 1930. Folded certificate booklet issued to Beatrice Garvan Sheridan of Sydney Australia with mounted portrait photograph embossed stamp serial number and three manuscript signatures. The interior identifies the issuing authority and records Sheridan's qualification under British Empire aviation structures preserving direct evidence of a woman's formal entry into licensed flight at an early stage in civil aviation.<br /> 3 Associated Press photograph "Miss Earhart at Royal Society Dinner." From New York June 3 1932. Press photograph with typed verso caption identifying Amelia Earhart as "the first woman to successfully fly across the Atlantic Ocean" further noting that she was photographed in London when she was the guest and "the first woman guest" of the Royal Aeronautical Society with Lord Londonderry at her right. The image shows Earhart seated at the center of a formal dinner gathering surrounded by 23 men making the gendered exclusivity of the event visible in the photograph itself.<br /> 4 Press photograph of Margaret Nixon. Circa 1930s. Original portrait photograph showing Nixon smiling in flight gear with goggles and parachute harness visible; the verso caption reads "Going up to the clouds is fun on a hot day says Margaret Nixon." The photograph belongs to the news and feature-photo culture that turned female aviators into recognizable public figures through reproducible captioned portraiture.<br /> 5 Worthylake Mary. Typed letter signed to "Harry 'The Bookie.'" Woodburn Oregon October 31 1978. One-page typed letter on personal stationery signed in blue ink discussing the sale and wholesale terms of Worthylake's aviation book and mentioning aviation circles in Oregon Washington Anchorage and Fairbanks. Worthylake writes "I retail my book for $4.95 plus postage if I have to mail it. I can wholesale it in lots of at least ten" later adding "That gives you a 40% profit in retailing" and closing "Happy landings" linking the letter to the afterlife of women's aviation through regional memory print circulation and the networks of the Ninety Nines.<br /> Women's aviation was not recorded in one form alone but through overlapping systems of recognition: news syndication elite aeronautical institutions licensing authorities and later veteran print culture. Minor wear toning and creasing across the group; certificate booklet rubbed at exterior; photographs with expected handling wear and caption remnants on versos; letter folded and lightly stained signature clear. Overall good condition. Earhart's presence as the only woman visible in the 1932 dinner photograph Sheridan's credential booklet with official seals and signatures and the captioned Nixon portrait all preserve different stages in the public legibility of female aviators while the Worthylake letter extends that record into the late twentieth century through women-led aviation memory and book distribution. unknown

This report was preparedy by the Maritime Reacors Branch Division of Reactor Development U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and under Contract No. AT04-3-109 Directive G by the American-Standard Atomic Energy Division Mountain View CA. From Wikipedia: "Nuclear marine propulsion is propulsion of a ship by a nuclear reactor. Naval nuclear propulsion is propulsion that specifically refers to naval warships see Nuclear navy. Only a very few experimental civil nuclear ships have been built; the elimination of fossil fuel has not outweighed the technical economic and political difficulties of this application of nuclear power.Operation of a civil or naval ship power plant is similar to land-based nuclear power reactors. A sustained nuclear reaction in the reactor produces heat that is used to boil water. The resulting steam spins a turbine. The turbine shaft may be coupled through a gearbox speed reducer to the ship's propeller or in a turbo-electric drive system may operate a generator that supplies electric power to motors connected to the propellers. The Russian U.S. and British navies rely on steam turbine propulsion while the French and Chinese ships use the turbine to generate electricity for propulsion turbo-electric propulsion. Most nuclear submarines have a single reactor but Russian submarines and the USS Triton had two. Most American aircraft carriers are powered by two reactors but the USS Enterprise has eight. The majority of marine reactors are of the pressurized water type although the US and Soviet navies have designed warships powered with liquid metal cooled reactors. Nuclear power for propulsion has several operating and logistic characteristics that appeal to the designers of ships for both civil and military purposes. A small amount of nuclear fuel can provide energy equivalent to millions of times its weight in coal or oil. It is quite practical to build a reactor which will operate a vessel for several years without refuelling. Although the cost of manufacturing nuclear fuel elements is high the overall cost of fuel is much lower than that of the amount of fossil fuel required to generate the same amount of energy. Like sailing ships nuclear vessels are independent of the vagaries of procurement of fuel at every port. The laborious and costly process of loading and burning fuel is largely eliminated for most of the vessel's operating life. Because of its high power density and the elimination of the need for large fuel bunkers a nuclear propulsion plant allows more space for paying cargo. It also allows a vessel to operate at higher speeds for years without refuelling. This improves the speed and efficiency of ocean-going commerce. Military vessels such as submarines and aircraft carriers can travel at high speeds over vast distances limited only by the endurance of their crews. Arctic vessels can operate for months independent of fuel supplies. Nuclear reactors require no oxygen for combustion and emit no exhaust gas. This is a minor benefit for surface vessels eliminating the ducts exhaust stacks and machinery needed to support the burning of fossil fuels. For submersible vessels this is the most important advantage. With nuclear power a submarine can be propelled at speeds comparable to those of surface ships for protracted periods limited only by crew endurance instead of fuel supply or battery capacity. Although not a motivation for the original development of maritime nuclear power environmental concerns have sparked increased interest on the part of some who are concerned about effects of CO2 SO2 and other air pollutants emitted by cargo ships. For economic reasons ships operate on the lowest-quality fuel their engines can tolerate resulting in very high emissions of pollutants." U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
