    Extractions: Henry Sutton : 1856 - 1914 In 1885, Australian Henry Sutton improved on Paul Nipkow 's disk devising what he called his Telephane system - the first real television proposal which involved scanning, synchronising, a light sensitive cell and a control valve (vacuum tube) but no vision signal amplifiers. Cambridge Biographical Dictionary If you have arrived at this page via the 'Lawrence Hargrave' website you may return to the Aviation Biographies page by clicking HERE Henry Sutton (b. Sept 3, 1856, d. 1914, Ballarat), grew up in the Victorian goldfield town of Ballarat where his father Richard had settled in 1853. "Seeking amusment in his tent at night he set about constructing a concertina, a device invented in England by Charles Wheatstone , the 'father' of the telegraph" This was the beginnings of Sutton's Music Emplorium which traded in Melbourne for over the next 100 years. By the time Henry Sutton was 14... "he had read every book on science and engineering in the library of the Mechanics Institute ...and before reaching 25 had invented a new type of lead storage battery, a torpedo, a colour printing process, telegraph facsimile and a method of using gas and water pipes for signalling. And working in the isolation of Ballarat far from the company of other scientists and technicians, completely ignorant of Thomas Edison 's work, Sutton invented a carbon filement lamp. Sadly Edison had invented the same device just 16 days earlier".

40. SPECTRUM Biographies - Amelia Earhart
    Amelia The Centennial Biography of an aviation Pioneer by Donald M. Goldstein,Katherine V. Dillon (Contributor); Amelia Earhart Case Closed?  
    http://www.incwell.com/Biographies/Earhart.html
    
    Extractions: Amelia Earhart was the first child born to Edwin Stanton and Amy Otis Earhart on July 24, 1897, in Atchison, Kansas. Amelia and her sister, Muriel, who was born three years later, had a difficult childhood. Their father was an alcoholic and because he often lost jobs, the family traveled a great deal. The girls frequently missed school but still excelled academically. They enjoyed books and often recited poetry while doing their chores. Amelia and Muriel also loved sports, including basketball and tennis. Their parents encouraged them to try new things, and they did. After graduating from high school, Amelia planned to attend college, but her plans were put on hold after she met four wounded World War I veterans on the street. After hearing of their plight, Amelia decided to study nursing. During the war, Amelia worked as a military nurse in Canada. At the war's end, she became a social worker at the Denison House in Boston and taught English to immigrant children. Amelia enjoyed watching airplane stunt shows, which were quite popular during the 1920s. One day, after taking a ten minute plane ride, which cost $1, Amelia knew she must learn to fly. By working several odd jobs and with the help of her mother, Amelia earned the $1,000 fee to take flying lessons. Her first instructor was nicknamed "Snooky." Ten hours of instruction and several crashes later, Amelia was ready to fly solo. She made her first solo flight in 1921. Except for a poor landing, the flight was uneventful. By the next year, Amelia had saved enough money to buy a plane of her own.
