	Gee - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		GEE is also the name of a WWII radio navigation device built and implemented by the RAF for use in night bombing.
		g (also gee, g-force or g-load) is a non-SI unit of acceleration defined as exactly 9.806 65 m/s², which is approximately equal to the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface.
		Resistance to "negative" or upward gees, which drive blood to the head, is much less; typically in the 2-3 g (20 to 30 m/s²) range the vision goes red, probably due to capillaries in the eyes bursting under the increased blood pressure.

	Faculty
		Gee was a co-director of the Mellon Foundation funded Literacies Institute in Newton, Massachusetts, an organization that sponsored joint teacher and researcher research on language and literacy.
		Gee's work over the last decade has centered on the development of an integrated theory of language, literacy, and schooling, a theory that draws on work in socially situated cognition, sociocultural approaches to language and literacy, language development, discourse studies, critical theory, and applied linguistics.
		Gee's recent work has extended his ideas on language, literacy, and society to deal with the so-called "new capitalism" and its cognitive, social, and political implications for literacy and schooling.

	[10.0] Radio Navigation Systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Gee used three transmitters, including one "master" and two "slaves", "A" and "B", that were sited about 80 to 160 kilometers (50 to 100 miles) from each other and transmitted on wavelengths in the range of 15 to 3.5 meters / 20 to 85 MHz.
		Gee remained in service as a navigation aid in friendly airspace after it ceased to be useful for offensive purposes.
		The Japanese system was relatively crude, requiring the navigator to perform timing with a stopwatch as part of the procedure to determine the position of his aircraft or vessel.

	381st BGMA: Through the Cloud Bombing, GEE-H & OBOE explained
		GEE was highly effective and accurate as an aid to navigation, but it lacked the pin-point accuracy needed for a bombing attack on a selected target.
		GEE H bombing through the clouds was highly accurate and played an important part in depriving Hitler of his much-needed reserves of oil and gasoline.
		GEE was the first major addition to navigational procedures since the invention of the chronometer by John Harrison in 1764.

	GEE
		Later, it was thought it might provide navigators with enough fixing on their way to the Continent to establish accurate winds for later dead reckoning.
		The operating principle of Gee was the transmission of short (6 microsecond) pulses at frequencies around 30 MHz (later extended up to 80 MHz., Signals sent from a master station were received at up to three slave stations and was used to synchronize their own transmissions.
		Gee transmitters had a radiated power output around 300 kw and operated in four frequency bands between 20 and 85 MHz.

		When Gee uses his power small fl rectangular marks often appear on his forearms and lower legs (or, if those portions of his body covered by clothing, on the parts of his clothing covering his forearms and lower legs) and sometimes on part of whatever object he is touching and using his power on.
		Gee can control the extent to which he reduces the pull of gravity enough so that he can hover above the Earth's surface at the height he desires, and not simply keep on going upward into outer space.
		However, as yet Gee has seldom used this power to increase the pull of gravity, and it is unclear whether he can use this power to increase the force of gravity on living beings and objects he touches.

	Gee - AMES Type 7000
		Gee was a navigational system that utilised accurately phased pulses from ground based transmitters and it was the brainchild of R. (Bob) Dippy, who first set down his ideas on paper in 1937.
		The deliberate withdrawal of normal navigational aids during the last war led to the development of various navigational systems for the assistance, particularly, of bombers trying to locate targets in fled-out conditions and subsequently finding their way back to their home aerodromes.
		The solution to the problem was found in relying not on the rectilinear propagation of wireless waves but on the constancy of their velocity of propagation.

	Special Exhibitions: Gee's Bend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Gee's Bend, which is bounded by a bend in the Alabama River on three sides, was named after Joseph Gee, the first white man to stake a claim there in the early 1800s.
		The Gee family sold the plantation to Mark Pettway in 1845, and today most of the approximately 750 residents are descendants of slaves from the former Pettway plantation.
		Gee’s Bend briefly became known for its quilts during the Civil Rights Movement in the mid-1960s, when the Freedom Quilting Bee was organized.

	GEE (navigation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		GEE (short for "Grid" and pronounced simply as "G") or AMES Type 7000 was a British radio navigation system used during World War II; the ideas in GEE were developed by the Americans into the LORAN system.
		GEE entered service in March 1942 and was accurate to about 165 yards at short ranges, and up to a mile at longer ranges over Germany.
		Unlike the German beam systems where the bombers flew to their targets along the beam, the GEE pulses were radiated in all directions, so even if detected, they would not reveal the bombers' likely destinations.

	United States Attorneys' Office - Eastern District of Pennsylvania
		The indictment alleges that Gee defrauded Farmers First Bank by obtaining a $38,300 loan for the purchase of a motor vehicle using false information regarding her income and earnings.
		The indictment further alleges that Gee and Basilovecchio engaged in fraudulent schemes to defraud mortgage companies to secure financing for the purchase of a home in West Chester, Pennsylvania and for refinancing a mortgage on a residence located in Naples, Florida.
		It is alleged that Gee and Basilovecchio fraudulently secured approximately $304,000 from National City Mortgage Company for the purchase of a residence in West Chester, Pennsylvania and approximately $289,000 from Wachovia Mortgage Company for the refinancing of a property in Naples, Florida.

	Loran-A
		Many of the techniques used in Gee were adopted, and it was he who insisted that the Loran and Gee receivers were made physically interchangeable so that any RAF or USAAF aircraft fitted for one could use the other by simply swapping units.
		Navigation by celestial observations is possible only when weather permits and, moreover, it requires a highly trained man who does little on the plane except navigate.
		Accurate navigation was necessary not only for precision bombing, but also for carrying a maximum bomb load instead of a large reserve of gasoline.

	Gee-H navigation system
		The delay between the emission of a pulse and the reception of the transponded pulse from the ground, making due allowance for the delay which occurs between the interrogation of the beacon and the transmission of its response, is directly proportional to the range of the aircraft from the beacon.
		The first H systems used the standard Gee indicator and the time delays were measured using the Gee calibrator.
		G.H. suffered to some degree from the war-time need to make the maximum use of existing Gee equipment which was not designed for this purpose.

		The Gee system used three phase locked pulse transmitters that were located in the south of England.
		Gee worked on the principle of measuring the difference in arrival time of pulses from two transmitters located in the U.K. By measuring this time difference and relating it to similarly marked lines on a map you could identify which line you were on.
		The simulated control unit now contains a static inverter for providing the high frequency power needed, together with a circuit that simulates the transmissions that would have occurred during the war, thus an active demonstration can be given to members of the public.

		The lead navigator and bombardier were unable to see the target because of a smoke screen, so the formation returned to the initial point and made a second run.
		And being one of the outer wing airplanes in the formation, it was necessary for the pilot to "jockey" the airplane to a considerable extent, which caused extreme variations in air speed, compass, altitude, and drift-meter measurements.
		The result was that dead reckoning navigation was also essentially impossible, meaning that it was extremely difficult to determine and follow the actual track of the formation.
