Gilbert, Douglas R., 1942-2023
Description
An account of the resource
Photographs scanned from negatives and transparencies from the Douglas R. Gilbert papers (RHC-183).
Douglas R. Gilbert (b. 1942) is an American photographer from Michigan. He was born in Holland, Michigan and is the son of Russell W. and Carmen (Andree) Gilbert. Gilbert earned a B.A. in social sciences and art at Michigan State University in 1964, an M.S. in photography from the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology in 1972, and a M.S.W. from Salem State College in 1993. He is married to Barbara (McDonald) Gilbert, and has three daughters, Robyn, Rachel, and Anne. Gilbert took a serious interest in photography at the age of fourteen. In 1963 he joined the staff of Look magazine in New York as the second youngest photojournalist in the magazine's history. As a Look photographer from 1964 to 1966, he photographed folk musician Bob Dylan, the Newport Folk Festival, Simon and Garfunkel, the New York City Financial District, the children and facilities at the Manhattan School for Seriously Disturbed Children. From 1967 to 1969, Gilbert did several shoots, including that of folk singer Janis Ian for Life magazine. After moving to Chicago, Illinois in 1969 to attend the Illinois Institute of Technology, Gilbert conducted notable photo shoots of business and political figure Lenore Romney, and pursued more personal and artistic photography, focusing on urban and rural landscapes in Illinois and Michigan. He then joined the faculty of Wheaton College, where he taught from 1972 to 1982. In 1993, Gilbert graduated from Salem State College, Massachusetts, with a Masters in Social Work, and later pursued a second career as a psychotherapist. Douglas Gilbert died in June 2023.
Throughout his photography career, he pursued both freelance commercial work as well as artistic work. His art photography is characterized by its classic black-and-white format, and features people, places and objects shot great attention and sensitivity. Gilbert's works are held in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, The Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, and the Grand Valley State University Art Galleries, as well as in numerous private and institutional collections.

�OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HEATING AND VENTILATING SYSTEM
HOUSE OF JE\ ISH iORSHIP
MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN
The o~!"'burner is fully automat1o 1n operation and will
operate as often and as long as necea ary to deliver water
at the temper ture called tor by the aquastat.
In starting up the heating system, therefore, 1t is necessary
only to close all electric aw1tchea that supply energy to the
oil burner, light th gas pilot an~ let the oil bnrner controls
govern the operation. Close the switch starting the hot water
o1rculat1ng pump and let the pump run as long aa there 1a demand tor heating.
The direct radiation and conTectors are connected to a piping
system having a circulating pump and thermostatically controlled
mixing valve. The mixing valve 1a arramged to vary the temperature of the water supplied to the oonveotore and radiators inversely with outdoor temperatures. The aquastat in the boil r
water should be set tor about 200 Fin mild weather and 240 F
in extremely cold weather.
The heating ot the b sement recreation room and the heating of
the Main Ohapel is accomplished with the respective air supply
and exhaust systems. Each room has finned convectors below the
windows , which can furnish part of the heating, but operation ot
the fan systems ia essential tor full heating and tor ventilating of the rooms.
'l'he blast conveotors of the air suppl y systems are supplied with
water at boiler temperature, through a separate piping system
having its own circulating pump. This pump likewise must be
turned on whenever it is necessary to supply heating or ventilating to these rooms.
Prior to occupancy or use of either room, start the re peot1ve
supply and exhaust tan and set the pneumatic positioning dial
tor 100 per cent recirculation. This will close the outside e.ir
intake damper and set the dampers in the exhaust fan discharge
duct to re_turn al.l the -ih
t :r-.1:r _,. t t11
u ly y tem.
The roo • quiokly may be warmed when all the air thus is recircul ated.
When the room is ready tor occupancy, s t the pneumatic positioning dial tor about 50 per cent outside air 1n m1ld weather,
or for not more than 2S per cent in extremely cold weather.
-1-
�!l'he ventilating systems may be used w1th 100 per cent outside
air during weather requiring no heating or very little heating,
as during spring and tall.
After comuleting use ot the room, shut off the supply and exhaust tans serving the room. De-energizing the tan...motors automatically causes the pneumatic damper 1n the air intake to close
end to set the reciroulating damper 1n 100 per oent recirculating
position, regardless ot the setting on the pneumatic pos1t1on1ng
dial.
Whenever outdoor temperatures are below freezing, the circulating
pump tor the ventilating systems should be run, whether or not the
fans shall be used, as cold air leakage at the outside air intake
drunpers may be euttic1ent to endsnger the conveotors.
Replace the air tilter cells at periodic intervals, depending on
frequency ot use and accumulation ot duet. Never replace all the
cells at one time, as the reduced resistance or all clean cells
will cause greatly increased a1r tlow. By staggering replacement
of the tilter cells, the air quantity may be maintained fairly
uniform. Keeping record of dates ot replacing filter cells, therefore, 1a essential to proper care of the ventilating system.
011 all motors, bearings and moving part at onthly 1nterVale, or
as much oftener as required to~ proper lubrication. Use proper
grade of oil tor each service.
Blow out condensation trom bottom of air compressor receiver periodice:lly.
'l'he expansion tank of the heating system must never be permitted to
become waterlogged. The water line must be visible in the gauge
glass at all times. In ata'rting up from a cold system, the water
should be Just visible in the bottom of the gauge glass. As the
water expa.nda under heating, it will rise in the tank, compressing
the air.
The oil burner should be serviced once a year by the manufacturers
representative. This should be a periodio check up prior to start
or the heating aeason. Adjustment of valves, dampers, etc. of the
oil burner must not be changed from the settings made by the oil
burner ae.rv1.o.e r~preaentative.
The pneumatic control system sh u.ld be checked once a year by aerv1oe representative of the manufacturer, to insure its efficient
operation.

World War, 1939-1945
Description
An account of the resource
Slides developed during World War II as a training tool, for top-side battle-station personnel on board ship and for all aircraft personnel, by the US Navy. In 1942 a Recognition School was established by the Navy at Ohio State University where the method of identification was developed. In 1943 the school was taken over by the US Navy. The importance of training in visual recognition of ships and aircraft became even more evident during World War II. Mistakes resulting in costly errors and loss of life led to an increased emphasis on recognition as a vital skill.
