	George Hale - The Private School of Defence
		Hale also reveals what may be the first occurrence in an English fencing manual of a few interesting terms and phrases, such as: "foyle", "Professor of Defence at Foyles", "shift", "stuck", "close at advantage", and "disarm".
		Hale later notes the value of practice and repetition in "re-training" instinct—a trained man will react in accordance to his training, even if the reaction is somewhat impaired by his individual capacities.
		Hales, a most valiant and excellent fencer, who in a printed book called A Private Schoole of Defence, undertook to teach that art or science, and was laughed at for his labour.

		Hale also invented the water tower, an immense contraption pulled by three horses that was capable of shooting 5 Â½ tons of water per minute, and the automatic fire alarm, which alerted a city's central fire station to a fire's location.
		Hale worked hard to keep politics out of the fire department, but was removed from his post in 1902 by Mayor James A. Reed.
		Hale was accused of a number of charges, including insubordination, extravagance and falsifying reports, but he was not allowed to defend himself before the city council.

	National Park Service: Astronomy and Astrophysics (Hale Solar Laboratory)
		The Hale Solar Laboratory is significant because of its association with its owner-builder, George Ellery Hale.
		Hale was an internationally famous scientist, a trustee behind the endowment of the Huntington Library and Art Gallery in San Marino, California, and a trustee and organizer of the California Institute of Technology.

		Hale’s parents, pleased with their son’s interest in science, bought him the telescope, and, over the next 16 years, other professional-quality astronomical instruments.
		Hale was still in college, studying solar astronomy, when he invented the spectroheliograph, a device to photograph and analyze the Sun.
		Hale not only contributed to astronomy by building four of the world’s largest telescopes, he also founded an astronomical society, started the Astrophysical Journal, and was the first person to be officially called an astrophysicist.

		Hale identified one of the means by which his interest in astronomy was encouraged: his parents supported the inquisitive nature of their son wholeheartedly, both with devoted interest and with financial support.
		Hale had been excited in 1890 when he learned that a new university would be built nearby in fields "where, as a boy, he had picked wild strawberries." 8 He learned from his friends, Pickering and Douglass, that Harper had written to them, inquiring about him and his work.
		Hale reported that the idea came to him independently, although he was aware of the principle, suggested by Janssen in 1869, and of instruments involving the same principle, designed by Braun, of Kalosca, and Lohse, of Potsdam, in 1872 and 1880, respectively.

		Hale attached his newly designed Rumford spectroheliograph to the telescope and used it to investigate the sun's internal characteristics.
		When George Hale joined the faculty at the University of Chicago, he was given no teaching or administrative duties and focused his energy on planning the new observatory at Williams Bay along Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
		Hale was blessed with many advantages: his father's wealth freed him from many of the personal financial constraints which checked other scientists, and his career coincided with the growth of modern science.

	National Park Service: Astronomy and Astrophysics (Palomar Observatory 200-inch Reflector)
		New auxiliary equipment for the 200-inch Hale reflector is continually under development to enhance the light-gathering capabilities of the instrument and to keep it as one of the foremost research instruments in astronomy and astrophysics in the world today.
		Hale was successful beyond his dreams when the Rockefeller Foundation voted to support the project with a grant of $6 million.
		In 1963, using the 200-inch Hale reflector, Schmidt realized that the unfamiliarity of the spectra was the result of an enormous red shift and that the lines were familiar ones that ought to be in the ultraviolet section of the spectrum.

		By the time Hale established the Mt. Wilson Observatory in 1904, he had already invented the spectroheliograph, founded the Astrophysical Journal (and invented the word astrophysics), founded the Yerkes Observatory (which then housed the world's largest working telescope), and had been appointed a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.
		Hale was as influential locally as he was globally.
		And, of course, Hale was the force behind the founding of Palomar Observatory and the building of the 200-inch Hale telescope.

	The Scoundrel and the Scientist
		George Hale was born in 1868 in Hyde Park, the son of William Ellery Hale, who made his fortune manufacturing hydraulic elevators.
		Hale fitted a photographic plate across the eyepiece of a telescope with a clockwork device to move the apparatus at the same pace that the sun crosses the sky.
		To accomplish his ambitious plan, Hale included a large spectroscope and spectroheliograph for the forty-inch telescope, two smaller telescopes (one the former Kenwood instrument, as his father had agreed) and accompanying instruments, the best micrometers available for detailed measurements of the position and size of the planets and stars, and a fully equipped spectroscopic laboratory.

	MWO 150-Foot Solar Tower History
		In 1908, Hale discovered magnetic fields in sunspots (using the 60-foot solar tower built in 1907) by applying the principle of Zeeman splitting, where a spectral line will usually be split up into several components in the presence of a magnetic field.
		In 1914, Hale discovered that polarities of sunspots in the north and south hemispheres of the sun reversed from cycle to cycle.
		After Hale's retirement in 1923, solar work was carried on by a number of solar astronomers and observers such as Ferdinand Ellerman, as Seth Nicholson, Edison Petit, and Charles St. John.
