WILLIAM H. THIELBAHR

William H. Thielbahr, Code 4585, will be awarded a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering by Stanford University on June IS, 1969. Thielbahr started. his career at the Naval Weap­ons Center as a Junior Profes· sional in June 1961, after ob· taining his Bachelor of Sci· ence d e g r e e in Mechanical Engineering from Fresno Sta· te College. He obtained his masters in Engineering in 1964 from the University of California at Los Angeles through its China Lake gra· duate program.

Thielbahr began his studies at Stanford in January 1966 following receipt of an NWC Fellowship. He specialized in ­Thermoscience and did his Ph.D. thesis under Professor W. M. Kays on the topic: "The Turbulent Boundary Layer: Experimental He a t Transfer Wit h Blowing, Suction, and Favorable Pressure Gradient."

In coniuction with the .x­perlm.nt.1 work, h. devised • method for precliding hut tr.nsfer, mean temper.ture • nd velocity profil .. , .nd skin frldion coeflcient In ... I.r.­ted turbul.nt bound.ry I.y ... with blowing or .udlon .t tho w.II.

The boundary I aye r pro· gram is capable of solving any number of parabolic equations and thus can be used to calcu­late heat transfer, skin fric­tion, etc. in chemically react­ing ' flows.

This program can provide very use f u I information to those responsible for the de­sign of components sub­jected to high temperature chemically reacting boun­dary layer flows.

Thielbahr, his wife Virginia and daughter Paige reside at 216B Mitscher, China Lake.

Tiemann, who has published important previous papers on Bioluminescence, hopes to col­lect enough railroad worms to allow a study of the biochem­istry of the luminous organs.

The rarity of the insects doesn't discourage him. "Z.r­phi. larvae, a relative of the railroad worm, were also con­sidered rare until I learned enough about their habits and learned to trap them," he said .

Tie man n plans to provide Dr. John Buck, National Insti­tute of Health, with specimens for his work on the histology and electron microscopy of the light organs of the ph.ngodi­d .. and to Dr. H. Seliger at Johns Hopkins University for their continuing study on the spectroscopy of the light or­gans of luminous insects.

He is also hopeful that en­ough specimens may be found to support some work on the biochemistry of the luminous organs of this insect.

In a previous trip to Brazil in 1960 Tiemann found the Railroad Worm at Sao J 0 s e dos Campos. By enlisting the aid of fazendieros and armed with his trusty firecrackers, he has high hopes of a successful search this year. While in Bra­zil, Tiemann will be in consul­tation with Dr. U. R. Martins, of the Museum of Zoology, in Sao Paulo, and other entomol­ogists in that country.

New Telemetry System

NWC Tests New UHF Telemetry

On May 26, the first UHF telemetry system, using the Navy's newly adopted High Rate Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) format was successfully utilized in conjunction with a live firing of a Sidewinder missile .

The captive and free-flight phases of the program were accomplished with excellent cooperation from Range Oper­ations, Drone Line, NAF, In­strument Operations, and es­pecially T-Pad personnel.

During the test, the new tel­emetry system transmitted val­uable guidance information that will be used to evaluate the performance of cur r e n t and future similar vehicles.

Physicals For Summer Camp At Dispensary

The C e n t e r Dispensary is now offering camp physical ex­aminations to eligible depend­ents on an appointment basis.

Parents of children who will be going to summer camp are encouraged to plan ahead and make appointments well in advance as Dispensary w 0 r k load will not permit Jast min­ute arrangements. Camp phys­icals cannot be obtaiu~u at regular dependents' sick call as that time must be used for acute illnesses and emergen­cies.

Appointments may be made by calling the Pediatric Clinic (Ext. 71683) during normal working hours. Whpl' ~~­

porting for the examination children must be accompanied by a parent, examination form showing individual camp re­quirements must be presented and a valid 1.D. Card must be presented.

Code 30 Engineer Heads for Brazil On Worm Search

Armed with $5 worth of fire· crackers, Darwin L. Tiemann, of the Optical Instrumentation Branch, Instrument Operations Division, will soon enter the Brazilian jungles in search of the larvae of an elusive beetle known as the "railroad worm."

have been found, in Central and South America. Even few­er have reached the Un i ted States for laboratory study of their odd bioluminescence.

Tiemann will begin his search at Sao Jose dos Campos in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, where he discovered a few specimens in 1960. He is supported by a grant from the National Geographic Society.

This time, he said, "I hope to collect enough material to breed them in Brazil, and then try to rear them back in the United States."

Difficult to find when they're aglow, the larvae are virtually impossible to s pot when their Ii g h t s have dim· med. Unless irritated by a noise or other disturbance, the wormlike larvae ordinarily re­main dark, resembling plump, two-inch-Iong caterpillars.

Insects crawl under the edge of the cover and fall into the container.

To Spend Four Month. The project will take Mr.

Tiemann away from his regu­lar occupation for about four months. He is a supervisory en· gineering technician at NWC.

CHAPLAIN'S MESSAGE---.===::::::::;)

Right Or Wrong

CHAPLAIN RALPH H. MOE

Moral decisions of "right or wrong" are not always easily made. That's why my Sunday sermon will be on the theme, "The New Morality of Jesus!"

It is quite strange, really, that Christ's ethics for decision malting are so little in evidence in our culture and society.

It's easy for us to consider competing athletic teams and politicians hotly contesting for offices; but relatively few realize that the battle progressing in the ethical field will profoundly influence the future of every one of us. And fewer yet care.

The competition between "Conventional MoralitY' and the IINew Morality' (in Christian circles) has generated more IIheat" than IIlight." Some have gone so far as to demonstrate their tot.1 lack of .ppreci.tion for the issues involved .. to piously chirp, "What we need is not a new morality but more moralityl"

What traditionally "parades" under the banner of Con· ventional morality usually com bin e s an understanding of what the Bible teaches with the mores of society. Prominent· Iy included in this code are the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. The laws therein are accepted as God's absolute rules for man to live by, without regard to ciraumstances. Though interpretations may vary somewhat, the basic idea is to determine precisely what the rule is, obey it, and let the "chips" fall where they may!

"Love" is the key word in the s().called New Morality. It is regarded by most .. the only absolute. When f.ced with a decision, therefore, the question to ask is this: "What is the most loving thing th.t c.n be done - with .11 f.cto rs taken into proper consideration?" When acted upon superficia lly, without deeply Christian concern, the results are quite unac­cept.ble to Christi.ns of Maturity.

As over against traditionalists, they agree on this: It is precisely where the "chips" will fall that makes all the dif­ference . Therefore, laws may be broken from time to time.

Is the New Morality shocking to you? I'm sure it is to most Christians. For, although Jesus was frequently found to be disobeying the law, actually going against the precepts of duly constituted authorities that he is quoted as both recogniz­ing and recommending to his disciples, very little relevance to this fact is evident in Christian ethics down through the ages.

I think it's worth considering - especially for Christians and others interested in matters of right or wrong! That's why I intend to preach on this theme next Sunday morning at the All Faith Chapel.

CHP Gives Safety Program Officer Phillip Downs, of the

California Highway Pat r 0 I brought his Patrol Car onto the Groves Street School grounds Monday, June 2, to present a program ·called "Stop On a Dime."

Richard Halen, principal of the school, had heard of the program, and together with Of­ficer Downs, they showed the children of Groves School how far it takes to stop a patrol car, a bicycle, and a pedestrian .

With the help of three chil­dren, Pam Muckle, stop sign girl; Ernest Shepherd, Reaction Time boy; and Pam Drake, Danger Sign girl, he proceeded to check stopping distances.

Lynn Tegowski, giving a de­monstration of how fast she could walk, went an additional 2'h feet after a hom sounded before she could stop.

Then Becky Feagle was told to run and to stop when the hom blew. Becky went 28 feet after the hom sounded. Officer

Downs mentioned that most of the streets are about 20 to 40 feet wide, and that Becky might be out in the middle of the street if she ran without looking to see what was com­ing.

The next demonstration in­volved Brian Carle and his bi­cycle. He was instructed to go as fast as he could until the horn sounded. It took Brian 5 feet to hit the brake and an ad­ditional 21'h feet to stOp, total of 26'h feet.

Te.cher Drive. As the last demonstration of

the day, Officer Downs, with Mrs. Diana Adams, a teacher at Groves School, drove the High­way Patrol car up to the speed limit, 20 mph, and at the signal tried to stop the car as fast as he could. It took Officer Downs 13 feet to get his foot on the brake and 71 feet to stop. The children were impressed with the long distances involved in stopping a moving automobile

Colts Dominate League Play; "A" Div. Tigers Finally Win

The Colts, under manager Harold Stalnaker, continue to dominate the Colt League as the senior circuit reached the balf-way mark. The Colts re­main undefeated, having won four games and lead the sec­ond place Dodgers by two gamea.

The Colts slammed out 12 hits to whip the Angels 9 to 3 in last week's action. Steve Robinson scattered nine Angel hits to pick up his second win and Bobby Nelligan got two hits and three RBrs to lead the Colt attack.

In one of the most closely contested games of the holi­day-shortened week, tbe "A" Division Tigers got into the Win col u m n as they edged the Yankees 5 to 4 with the help of a home run by .steve Hammon. Charles Cordell of the Yankees hit his first hom­er of the year in a lOSing ef­fort.

League standings tightened up in the Pony "B" Division as the league leading Angels overcame a four-run deficit to eke out a 5 to 5 tie with the scrappy Braves in a game cal­led after five innings because of the time limit. Jim Bowen turned in an excellent pitching job in rel.ief as he struck out seven and allowed only two hits over four-plus inhings.

In other action in the Colt League the Dodgers evened their season's record by nip­ping the Giants 6 to 4. Don Branson, the dodger hurler, had a little trouble in the four­th as the G ian t s collected four hits and four runs in that frame. Branson shared the batting honors with Danny Pin­to and Jeff Radcliffe, who each had two hits.

Ace TV; Galloway Tops In Softball Play Last Week

Bert Galloway, pitcher for the Ace-TV softball team in the Intramural Softball Lea­gue, has stretched his score­less innings pitched string to 28. Close behind him is Bert Andreason, who does the hurl­ing c h 0 res for Ridgecrest Shell, with 21 scoreless inn­ings. The two giants of the league are also running neck and neck in strike outs; Gallo­way has 42 and Andreason, with 7 innings less, has 37.

In action that took place Tuesday, May 27, NAF whipp­ed EI Ranchito 9 to 6 on Gary Arnold's home run in the fifth inning. Arnold went two for three and batted in four runs.

In the 8 p.m. game Ace TV beat VW-5 7 to 0 with Bert Galloway flinging a perfect game going into the fifth in­ning when Jack Numes broke it up with a single. Numes' hit was the only one of the game against Galloway. Chuck New­myer and Dennis Crager hit back to back triples.

Wednesday evening saw Gal­loway again shutting out Mag­ic Cleaners 1 to 0 in a close game at 6 p.m. Galloway won his own game driving in a run in the seventh inning.

At the late game Wednes­day Drex Moulder started off in a rush hitting an inside the park home run. Al Hyles hit his third home run of the year and in the fifth inning Jim Ayers hit a grand slam home run, as Ridgecrest Shell pounded out another 21-0 win, this time over hapless NAF.

Ridgecrest Shell is far and above the big team in the lea­gue with the bat, having five of the top ten leading batters. They also lead the league in home runs and RBrs.

WILLIAM J. STRONGE, JR.

William J . Stronge, Jr., Code 603, was awarded a Pb.D. de­gree in Applied Mechanics by Stanford University in March 10, 1969.

He joined the Research De­partment as a Junior Professio­al in June of 1960 following graduation from Oregon State College where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Stronge continued his stud­ies here at China Lake through the UCLA Graduate Program and completed the requirements for a Master's d e g r e e in Engineering in 1964.

Stronge's studies at Stanford were conducted u n d e r an NWC Fellowship awarded in 1965. His Ph.D. researcb con­cerned "Stress Waves Caused by a Load Acc lerating Through a Critical Speed" and was conducted under the gui­dance of Professor J . N. Goodier.

This study concerns forc.s which move on the surf.ce of structural elements. Transi.nt solutions demonstr.t. th.t if the lo.d move. with a char. .cteristic speed of the medi­um, which has been termed a critical speed, the response is resonant.

The results of this study have contributed to an under­standing of the significance of critical speeds.

Stronge, his wife Muriel and two children, a daughter "Les­lie" and a son UBrent," reside at 316 Bogue Circle, China Lake.

New UHF Telemetry System Test Success Flexible System Passes Tests

(Continued from Pall. 1)

gion of the radio frequency spectrum was assigned.

N.w Syst.m is FI.xibl. The new UHF telemetry sys­

tem incorporates a UHF trans­mitter, high rate PAM commu­tator, thermal battery, signal conditioner, wrap-around band UHF antenna and instruments to measure missile perform­ance.

The system is designed to take full advantage of the high reliability and compact size of the latest integrated circuits and microelectronic t e c h­niques.

The high rate PAM modula­tion format gives the new sys­tem greater data channel flex­ibility and information rate than the VHF system current­ly in use.

Th. high - r.t., 64-ch.nn.l, non·r.turn to zero, PAM com· mut.tor switch.s from ch.nn.1 to ch.nn.1 at • r.t. of 100,000 par second.

Because of its compact size and flexibility, the new system with minor modifications may be adapted to many other mis­siles.

Another advantage of t his

design is that it is capable of utilizing commercial "off the shelf" components or compon­ents that have been developed by the Navy such as transmit­ters and high-rate PAM com­mutators.

The new system may be used to telemeter flight characteris­tics aboard any of the missiles in the SIDEWINDER family; for example, SIDEWINDER AIM-9B, AIM-9C (SARAH) AIM-90. Air Force AIM-9E, FOCUS, CHAPARRAL MJM-72A and sol­id state versions of both SIDE­WINDER and CHAPARRAL

The Engineering Depart­ment's Telemetry Branch. un­der the direction of F. L. La Pierre, has the facilities , equip­ment and specially trained tel­emetry technicians and engin­eers to design, develop and im­plement telemetry and instru­mentation systems for ground and airlaunched vehicles.

A special projectile teleme­try system was recently design­ed and developed for the Edge­wood Arsenal in Maryland and is presently being used to mon­itor proiectile performance un­der a simulated projectile fir­ing environment.
