1970233711970. NavyWomen and Military Rescue Operations U.S. Navy helicopter rescue training photo archive circa 1970s-1980s documenting over-water emergency recovery drills during the early period when women were beginning to participate more visibly in naval rescue support shipboard emergency work and aviation-adjacent training. The archive documents women as active participants in the handling of a rescued person: preparing the litter assisting with stretcher movement working around the helicopter rescue opening and participating in the shipboard transfer of a restrained casualty. Women participation in rescue missions had just started at the time. The sequence records coordinated marine rescue between aircraft crews rescue swimmers and shipboard medical personnel during a period when helicopters had become central to recovering downed pilots injured crewmen and personnel lost overboard from aircraft carriers amphibious ships and support vessels. In a rescue environment still largely associated with male rescue swimmers aircrew and deck personnel the presence of women within the operational rescue sequence gives the archive added importance as a record of gender integration into the practical physical and technical emergency work that supported Cold War naval operations.<br /> Photo archive of 26 silver gelatin photographs each about 4 x 5 inches San Diego area circa 1970s-1980s. Flight-helmeted personnel prepare a litter secure a body with straps guide hoist lines and move a stretcher through a helicopter side opening marked with a large "RESCUE" arrow. Several scenes show rescue swimmers and crewmen working at the aircraft door with oxygen cylinders harnesses flotation gear helmets communications equipment and stretcher rigging visible. A rescue basket hangs above open water from a crane or hoist line; another basket carries a helmeted crewman inside a rope net. Interior views show uniformed personnel at communications stations and personnel inspecting chute-like equipment marked "PULL DOWN" while deck scenes record hands-on medical handling and lift coordination. Women visible within the sequence participate directly in the rescue environment itself appearing alongside male personnel during casualty stabilization stretcher handling and aircraft-door transfer procedures.<br /> <br /> The archive preserves the practical choreography of naval rescue: equipment inspection hoist transfer aircraft-door loading casualty stabilization and movement on deck. It is a close procedural record of Cold War naval rescue training with a focus on litter rigging rescue hatch access and the physical labor of moving a restrained casualty between aircraft and ship. The archive documents naval emergency procedure and women's visible participation at the beginning of their broader integration into rescue-support and technical military work in the 1970s making the archive relevant to collections on women in the military naval aviation support operations emergency medicine military labor and gender integration within technical service roles. Provenance from the estate of a Navy flight surgeon living in the San Diego area. Complete with all 26 photographs present; light handling wear only. Overall in very good condition. unknown

1806AQ27313Portsmouth: Sold by J. C. Mottley 1806. 98pp. Uncut. Stitched as issued. Scattered spotting. A rare account of the proceedings of the court martial of Royal Navy officer Sir Robert Calder 1744/5-1818 on charges of misconduct during the Battle of Finisterre. On 22nd July 1805 Calder commander of the British fleet engaged Franco-Spanish forces in what would prove to be an indecisive conflict. Many of the enemy were captured including two ships of the line however Calder failed to wrestle into submission the squadron under French Admiral Villeneuve resulting in their escape. Calder erroneously considered his conduct commendable and thus was greatly surprised to find he had been admonished by the British Press. He immediately applied for a court martial though his commander-in-chief Vice Admiral Nelson had already received orders to send him home to face a board of inquiry. The court martial sat on 23rd December. Calder maintained that he had done his utmost to renew the engagement with Villeneuve. Three days later the court found Calder guilty of an error of judgement and he was sentenced to be severely reprimanded. This proved the end of his seagoing career.

Two works concerning the courts-martial of Royal Navy officers Admiral Augustus Keppel 1725-1786 and Vice-Admiral Sir Hugh Palliser 1723-1796 respectively. The former had served with distinction during the both the Seven Years' War and the American War of Independence. Following the latter conflict Keppel held his subordinate admiral Palliser responsible for the poor state of the Navy's fortunes in particular the defeat at the First Battle of Ushant considering Palliser's conduct as a deliberate betrayal. Keppel began a campaign of calumny the outcome being a series of scandalous scenes in parliament and subsequent trials - each side accusing the other of treason. Keppel was the first to be tried and eventually acquitted in 1779 with Palliser enduring the same shortly thereafter.

Un cercle de réflexion est un ancien instrument de mesure angulaire employé à la fin du XVIIIe siècle essentiellement en navigation pour faire le point en mer ( recherche de latitude et longitude ). Inventé par Mayer et amélioré par Borda, cet instrument s'inspire à l'origine de l'octant qui donnait la hauteur du Soleil au dessus de l'horizon. De par sa conception, il permet la répétition des mesures sans lectures intermédiaires. Ainsi certaines erreurs sont-elles réduites. Son exactitude angulaire dépend du nombre de répétitions la résolution du cercle de réflexion de Borda est de l'ordre de la minute de degré.Au XVIIIe siècle, le cercle de réflexion sera remplacé petit à petit par le sextant pour déterminer les latitudes et par les montres de marine pour les longitudes ( Source Wikipédia ). Cet ouvrage dont l'édition originale est publiée 12 ans après l'invention de Borda, décrit cet appareil et son utilisation.
