DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE WEATHER by: Victor Boesen Chapter FIVE The Weather Machine The science of meteorology began more than 350 years ago. It started when Galileo, the great Italian astronomer, devised the first instrument to measure the weather. This was the thermometer. Until then, nobody ever knew how hot or cold it was. The science was carried forward another step by Galileo's assistant, Evangelista Torricelli, who had the novel idea that the atmosphere had weight, that this weight fluctuated, and invented the barometer to prove it. Next came the hygrometer. Based on the human hair, which expands under dampness, this instrument measured moisture in the air. The early weatherman now had three instruments to tell him something about the state of the atmosphere-the tem perature, pressure, and humidity. In 1749 the practice of sending these instruments aloft by kite began. The use of kites to gather information about the weather continued until about 1925 when it gradually was re placed by the airplane. When balloons appeared toward the end of the eighteenth century these provided a great leap forward in weather obser vation, supplementing the kite. In fact, balloons to this day remain an important tool in gathering information about the weather.

Wolverhampton's Blue Plaques Gorsebrook Road Stafford Road Commemorating: The First All-British Flying Meeting Sponsored by: Location: Dunstall Park, Gorsebrook Road The first midlands aviation meeting was held at Dunstall Park from 27th June to 2nd July, 1910 under the auspices of the Midland Aero Club, which was formed in 1909. Its headquarters were at the Grand Hotel in Birmingham and the club president was the Earl of Dartmouth. The official programme listed a varied selection of events. Prizes were awarded for the flight of the longest duration, cross-country flying, passenger carrying, figure flying and bomb throwing. Music was provided by the South Staffordshire Regiment and the Wolverhampton Military Band. There was almost no flying in 1910 because of bad weather and a dispute with some pilots over payment of their hotel expenses. This postcard, postmarked 1910, was issued for the event. The plane is superimposed on it. But it does show Dunstall Park, and its grandstands at the time. Presumably the sheep were removed for the event.

70. A Brief History Of Gas Supply The balloon was piloted by james glaisher and Henry Coxwell, who nearlylost their lives in the flight. Henry Coxwell was a balloonist http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/articles/Gas/NewWorks.htm

This photograph taken in the mid 1850s is possibly the earliest photograph in existence of a gas light in a Wolverhampton street. Courtesy of Eardley Lewis. By the late 1840s a larger works was needed to cope with the rising demand and so in 1849 a much larger works was built in Stafford Road. The works at Horseley Fields continued to operate for many years. The works was still producing gas in 1866 when Queen Victoria visited the town and it is marked on Steen and Blacket’s 1871 map of the Borough of Wolverhampton. By 1901 the works appears to have closed. The gasometers are not marked on the ordinance survey map of that date, although the buildings were still there and probably used for some other purpose. Balloon flights continued to be a feature at the new works. The most famous one took place on 5th September 1862 when a balloon filled with coal gas from the Stafford Road works, ascended and achieved a world altitude record of over six miles. The balloon was piloted by James Glaisher and Henry Coxwell, who nearly lost their lives in the flight. Henry Coxwell was a balloonist and James Glaisher a scientist. The balloon eventually landed near Ludlow. After the flight James Glaisher wrote: "On emerging from the cloud at 1hr 17m. we came into a flood of light, with a beautiful blue sky without a cloud above us, and a magnificent sea of cloud below, its surface being varied with endless hills, hillocks, mountain chains and many snow white masses rising from it."

No. 1492: NECESSITY IN THE SIEGE OF PARIS by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1492. Today, necessity, invention, and the Siege of Paris. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. S o is necessity the mother of invention? The four-month Prussian siege of Paris in 1870 offers some clues. Telegraph lines had been cut, and Paris couldn't communicate with the rest of the world. Necessity demanded a solution. Parisians wished they could fly over the enemy's lines. In fact, two usable forms of flight did exist: carrier pigeons and balloons. Balloons could get out, but where they went was uncontrollable and only vaguely predictable. And there was no way to guide a balloon into Paris from outside. Carrier pigeons couldn't be sent anywhere; they could only find their way back to Paris. The obvious trick was to fly both messages and crated pigeons out of Paris in balloons by night, and to send microfilmed messages back by carrier pigeon. Several pigeons had to be sent with duplicate messages because enemy soldiers shot as many as they could.

78. Sir James Hopwood Jeans james Jeans family moved to Brighton, then when he was 3 years old they moved Jeanswas taught as an undergraduate at Cambridge by JWL glaisher, WW Rouse Ball http://physics.rug.ac.be/Fysica/Geschiedenis/Mathematicians/Jeans.html

Sir James Hopwood Jeans Born: 11 Sept 1877 in Ormskirk, Lancashire, England Died: 16 Sept 1946 in Dorking, Surrey, England James Jeans ' family moved to Brighton, then when he was 3 years old they moved to London. Jeans went to Trinity College Cambridge in 1896 and fellow student G H Hardy was in the same year. Jeans was taught as an undergraduate at Cambridge by J W L Glaisher, W W Rouse Ball, A N Whitehead, R A Herman and E T Whittaker. Both Jeans and Hardy were awarded a Smith's prize in 1901 with unspecified relative merit. That year Jeans became a Fellow of Trinity. Jeans lectured at Princeton from 1905 until 1909. During this period, in 1907, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1909 Jeans returned to England and the following year he was appointed Stokes Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Cambridge. He only held this post until 1912 when he retired to Guildford to devote himself to mathematical research. During his career he taught in Cambridge, England and Princeton, USA and undertook research at the Mt Wilson Observatory, Pasadena, California. His work in astronomy led him to believe that Laplace's nebular hypothesis for the creation of the solar system was incorrect. Instead he proposed a tidal theory based on a star passing close to the Sun and pulling matter out which condensed into the planets.

79. Neptune's Discovery: The British Case For Co-Prediction, By Nick Kollerstrom 1896 Biographical Notice, foreword to The Scientific Papers of JC.Adams Vol.1,ppi – xxxi (30 pages) by james Lee glaisher, FRS, son of james glaisher. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/sts/nk/neptune/told.htm

T HEY T OLD T HE S TORY Over the century after the discovery, all five of the main authors who told the story between 1852 and 1947 were at some stage RAS presidents: Glaisher, Turner, Sampson, Smart and Spencer-Jones . Adams had twice been president. Naturally, they were all cantabs, all but one being from Trinity or John's College ( see:" A Cantab. clique?" 1852 History of Physical Astronomy, Ch.12 by Robert Grant p124-164, Appendix 603-617. (35 pages). Glaisher studied at Trinity college, Cambridge, was on the Greenwich staff from the 1830s to the 1870s, attained eminence in astronomy and mathematics, knew both Airy and Adams, and was offered but declined the post of Astronomer Royal after Airy. He had originally been an assistant to Airy in Cambridge. RAS President 1886-8 and 1901-3. 1904 Astronomical Discovery Herbert Turner. Turner was at Trinity College, Cambridge. He became Chief Assistant at the RGO 1884-1894, after which he became Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford. RAS President 1903-4

80. Neptune's Discovery: The British Case For Co-Prediction, By Nick Kollerstrom Airy being out of the country, it fell to james glaisher a senior RGO worker towrite an announcement, and he wrote to The Illustrated London News on October http://www.ucl.ac.uk/sts/nk/neptune/announce.htm

A NNOUNCING T HE D ISCOVERY He had been searching for the past two months in this space, he explained. This newspaper was published in Cambridge on the 3rd, so either a copy was rushed to Greenwich that day, or Glaisher met Challis to discuss the matter. In June, Leverrier had published his first prediction, using a circular orbit, citing 325 degrees as his prediction. Then in July Adams constructed a guide for Challis to use for his sky-search, which essentially took that position, at the epoch specified by Leverrier, and converted it into RA and Dec co-ordinates for telescope use ( see "Adams’ July Ephemeris" ). The person doing the sky-search here appears rather vague about why he was doing it, or where he was supposed to be looking.
