THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN AND THEIR FABRICATING MACHINES

Fot the f~Lt time in NCAR's hi.toLy, machinistWC fromthe High Atitude Ob-servatory (HAO) and the Me6aLaboutory wil be conoLidated in one machine shop.AnotheAt ist iz the consotidation o6 the De6ign andFabxication Gcoup in one location, adjacent to theMachine Shop. In honot o6 the occasion, and to iLntto-duce NCAR sta66 to both of these gyoups' wotk, Zoca-tion, and staff members, there wiU be an open hou6eon Friday, 6 June, in the Machine Shop and Designand Fabrication OjiLce, located on the second base-ment tevet o6 the Mesa Lab, beneath the 6outh towe.Staff Notes has taken this opportunity to featute aprofite o6 the Machine Shop in thW issue. Nextweek's issue wU featuAe a ptofile o6 Design andFabtication.

"You can go to any NCAR facility--including theremote sites--and you'll find something there thatcame out of our shop. Most NCAR staff members don'trealize that in addition to all of the scientificinstruments and equipment, we built the stainlesssteel furniture in the main lobby, as well as allof the glass display cases in the cafeteria. Wesharpen the knives for the cafeteria and the cuttersand drill bits for the carpenters. There's almostnothing we can't do down here, if we put our mindsto it."

The words are from Paul Geisert, a master ma-chinist at NCAR for the past 16 years. They expressthe pride and skill that characterize NCAR's uniqueMachine Shop. In contrast to many shops, where eachmachinist specializes in a particular type of pro-duction work, NCAR's crew rarely does the same thingtwice. "Most of the people here enjoy the varietyof the work," says Marvin "Bud" Hewett, the MachineShop supervisor. "One day it's fine precision op-tical or cryogenic work, the next it's large fieldequipment for radar or balloon launches. With thewide range of skills and experience, we have atleast one or two men who can do almost any type ofmachine work. We consider ourselves to be jacks ofall trades, and masters of quite a few."

The Machine Shop is part of the Research SystemsFacility, and its crew consists of 11 master machin-ists (a position that requires at least ten years ofgeneral machine work and prototype development work),one apprentice, and one casual. Eight of the mastermachinists have been with NCAR 14 years or more, the

other three more than five years. The shop isequipped to do sheet metal work, welding, electro-plating, metal spinning, lapping, milling, drillpress and lathe work, and grinding.

Until now, HAO has had its own machine shopon the University of Colorado campus. HAO's machin-ist, Lynn Schick, has moved to the Mesa Lab shop,and so have most of the HAO machines. These includelathes, milling machines, grinders, a shear, metalbenders, tool grinders, and sanders; a newly allo-cated 800 ft2 area has been added to the machine shopto accommodate the additional machinery. Some ofHAO's machinery will go to a small shop adjacent tothe vacuum tunnel of the new addition for on-the-spotrepairs and maintenance of the solar diameterinstruments.

"I find the work at NCAR challenging and creative,"says William Zelt, now involved in building a proto-type 6 m tower for PAM II (Portable Automated Meso-net). The hinged tower has been designed to folddown to facilitate repairs. Bill has been with NCAR

for almost 11 years; half of that time was spent atHAO, where he fabricated many of the instrumentstaken on the 1970 eclipse expedition to Mexico, aswell as a coronal emission line polarimeter andother instruments installed at the Sacramento PeakObservatory in New Mexico. In his spare time athome, Bill creates lost-wax bronze sculptures ofwildlife (he has sold a number of pieces), engravesguns, and serves as a leader for a Boulder Boy Scouttroop. "I think the merger with the HAO machineshop will bring some interesting work into the shop,"Bill comments.

Russell White cites as one of his major projectsa rocket-borne cryogenic air sampler for obtainingstratospheric gases, on which he worked for morethan a year with former NCAR engineer Ted Denton.Today much of his work is involved with balloon launchand gondola instruments. Russ's off-hours master-piece is a three-wheeled motorcycle built around a1937 Ford engine. "For seven months I spent virtuallyevery night and weekend designing and building thisvehicle, which can carry three passengers." Russsometimes drives it to work and has traveled as far as

Nebraska in it with his family. Russ also restoresantique cars and motorcycles.

Before he came to NCAR, Gilbert Granger ran anautomotive machine shop in Boulder. His fatherstarted the shop in 1921, and Gil carried on thebusiness until "changes in attitudes, better cars,and foreign cars" made him decide to close the shop."I've got machining in my blood," comments Gil. "Ialso worked as a machinist on a Navy destroyer afterreceiving training through the Navy at the RiverRouge Ford plant in Michigan." Gil currently servesas NCAR's Delphi Service coordinator, and enjoyshunting and fishing in his spare time.

Frederick Zimmer recently returned to NCAR, afterrunning his own machining business for two and a halfyears. Fred had previously been with NCAR for 15years. His specialty is metal spinning, and he hasoriginated many ideas and designs for instrument parts."Everything is interesting and always different here,"he remarks. Fred is now working on the solar diametermonitor which will be installed in the new HAO addi-tion.

Some projects bear the mark of a particular ma-chinist, and Paul Geisert is proud of having builtall of the balloon launchers except "Tiny Tim" (theNational Scientific Balloon Facility's launch vehiclefor very large payloads). "Some of the balloonlaunchers include vehicles, which I also built," saysPaul. "You start with a bare chassis and an enginefrom a Chevy step van, and modify it from there."In all, Paul has built 12 launchers (some of themsubcontracted by NASA and the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration), which has often meant

working at remote sites such as Guam, AscensionIsland, and Canton Island. Paul is a reserve deputysheriff for Boulder County, involved mainly in de-tective work. He also tends a farm in Erie, wherehe raises beef cattle and puts up his own hay. Inhis few spare hours, he does gunsmith work, and isin charge of weapons loading and practice for thecounty. "I don't watch much TV," he comments wryly.

Ivan Lee and Gilbext GangeA review dezign planz.

Ivan Lee was the machinist at HAO's Climax Ob-servatory for seven years, living in Leadville withhis family. Before joining NCAR 14 years ago, Ivanhad worked at Honeywell, Inc. in Northglenn. Ivanis currently involved in making ballast containersfor balloons. "I like the variety of work thatNCAR's machine shop offers," he says. In his out-side hours, Ivan is a highly skilled gunsmith andwatchmaker, and enjoys hunting and fishing.

"Hayden Mathews is one of our most precise andefficient machinists," remarks Bud Hewett. "You canalways depend on him to get a job done and be per-fect in every detail." Hayden has been with theshop for 17 years, and has fabricated many of themajor mechanical changes on the CP radars. "Theaddition of HAD projects will create a little morework, but should present no problems," Hayden says.One of his spare-time activities is rebuilding andfine-tuning Ford V8 engines in his shop at home."I've got only one bad habit," deadpans Hayden,"and that's fishing."

The south tower elevator opens its doors inthe second basement to a rather ominous warningsign, "Do not watch the arc welder at work, thelight may blind you." The wielder of this blindinglight is Mack Fisher, who is NCAR's apprentice ma-chinist. Mack began working at NCAR in maintenance,and later left to complete machinist training atBoulder Valley Vocational School (Vo Tech) andDenver Community College. "I really enjoy workingwith the crew here; they are outstanding people,and very willing to show me what they know," saysMack. Mack spends some of his spare time workingon model railroads, collecting records, and dancing.He is also in the Naval Reserves and is lookingforward to his yearly training session, which willbe held in Puerto Rico this year. Mack does mostof the welding work for the Machine Shop and hasbeen with NCAR on and off for about seven years.

"You can put some of yourself into the job you'redoing." John Beeby's remark perhaps sums up one ofthe main reasons for long individual tenures inNCAR's Machine Shop. "You are encouraged to useyour ingenuity on the projects here, and this addsinterest to the job." John spent three of his fiveyears here with HAO, and did the major hardwarework for the K-coronameter and the prominence moni-tor for the Mauna Loa Observatory. Originally fromEngland, John worked for the University of Coloradowhen he first came to the United States 16 years ago.Some of his responsibilities included being thebuilding and instrument supervisor, and research in-strument consultant for the Molecular Cellular Di-vision in the Department of Biology at the university.At NCAR John has worked for the Field Observing Fa-cility, and on projects at the Marshall site, and theNational Scientific Balloon Facility. John alsoworked for LASP (the Laboratory for Atmospheric andSpace Physics) at the University of Colorado anddesigned and built the casing for the instruments onthe Mariner spacecraft, which landed on Mars. "Itwas machined out of a solid chunk of metal, whichwas a real challenge. The end result, however, wasa masterpiece of machining," John notes with pride.

Dale Smith has been an "on-call" machinist withNCAR for the past three years. Dale worked at theBureau of Standards for thirty years and is one ofthe top electroplaters in Colorado. He has openeda number of plating shops in the area and acts asplating consultant for Vo Tech and other companies.While at the Bureau, he developed a new electroform-ing process for wave guides. Dae is the programchairman and consulting member for the AmericanSociety for Testing Materials (electroforming section).

Assistant shop supervisor Page Baptist, who hasbeen with NCAR for 17 years, combines machinist du-ties with administrative work. "I'm enthusiasticabout HAO's move to the Mesa," he says. "It willgive us some more challenging types of instruments towork on, as they are optics experts." Page teachesand coaches judo in his free time and holds a third-degree black belt. In 1974, Page achieved the title

of Rocky Mountain Area Judo Champion in the MastersDivision. Apparently his children have inheritedhis interest and skill. "We have three black beltsand one brown belt in the family."

Supervisor Bud Hewett was hired 18 years ago toestablish a machine shop facility for NCAR. "At thattime NCAR was small enough that newcomers were takenaround and introduced to everyone. I was the 35thperson hired at NCAR." Bud designed the presentMachine Shop and ordered all of the equipment. "Itwas hard to nail down what NCAR's general activitiesand direction would be, in terms of which types offabrications the Machine Shop would be involved in.We had to consider how fast NCAR would grow, and whatthe needs would be for staff and equipment." Budalso designed his own home, adding on to an existingold cabin. He raises cattle on his 20-acre farm,does oil painting, and makes novelty items in hishome machine shop. In addition to commercial arttraining, Bud's experience includes ten years as alicensed aircraft and power plant mechanic, ten yearsdoing research and development on a sun-sensing rocketpointing control for the University of Colorado PhysicsDepartment, and work as a designer in the satelliteprogram at Ball Brothers.

"A large percentage of our activity over thepast 18 years has been in direct conjunction withscientists--from verbal instructions, arm-waving,sketches on a scrap of paper, or whatever method theindividual uses," comments Bud. "We have hoped toperpetuate the 'can do' philosophy originated withWalter Orr Roberts during the early years of NCAR.The mission of the shop facility is to support, inany manner within the means of our staff and equip-ment the development and fabrication of researchequipment needed by the scientists and their

technical staff. The prime element in this group isthe staff, and we have endeavored to seek, employ,and keep a staff of people who have a broad range ofcreative talent and capability. These people are notjust machine operators, or 'nuts and bolts' mechanics,but people whose backgrounds equip them for the chal-lenge presented by true research and developmentactivity. I can say in all honesty that the staff ofthe Machine Shop has done an outstanding and commend-able job in support of a tremendous group of scien-tists. And each member of the Machine Shop is proudto have been a part of the team effort." o RG

NEW SUMMER PROGRAM FOR MINORITY STUDENTS

This summer the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP)will sponsor a summer intern program for minoritystudents enrolled in college programs related to theatmospheric sciences. "The ultimate goal of theprogram is to show the students what kinds of workare available in the field and also at NCAR, encour-aging them to consider NCAR as a place of employmentafter graduation," says Martha Aguilar, the EOPadmini strator.

In contrast to the Advanced Study Program (ASP)for minority students (which has been discontinued),the students will not be spending half of each daytaking courses. They will be working on projectswith their supervisors, and may take one computingcourse. "We've been more selective of the schoolsthis year," Martha admits, "and have chosen oneswith large minority enrollments, which also offerprograms relevant to atmospheric science." Super-visors for the students were appointed in March;

anyone interested in being a supervisor might con-sider the possibility for next year. The EOPprogram will replace the ASP minority program,which has run for the past few years.

The students will begin work around 2 Juneand leave NCAR in mid-August. The following is alist of the students who will be participating inthe EOP summer program:
